Superb Craftsmanship- Rewinding Technique Of Truck Starter Motor Armature

Brilliant!

 

Proper old school skills that

 

And probably cheaper than a Ducati indicator

 

Come the apocalypse I’m moving next door to him

 

Millennials don’t understand as they aren’t exposed to it anymore.....

Those kind of jobs are seen as “eww” by those skinny, de-caffe, caramel latte drinking, transgender benders.....

 

Let he/she/it/them who is without sin cast the first stone...

 

A very satisfying watch. Thanks

 

That’s stone’ist that is, that

 

Loving that @CRYSTALJOHN.

 

Great - thanks John!

 

Fab, thanks.

 

I wouldn’t have made it past the 18 second burntandblackenedtoacrisp mark !!

It would have gone in the bin then!

 

Fantastic skill. Probably on £10 a day.

 

His mate next door who retreads motorcycle tyres

 

Good luck getting the lad at Kwik Fit to do that

 

good luck getting the customer to pay for the labour involved in that.

 

I just love all that low tech stuff .....

I've worked in some so-called "developing" countries , and I've been amazed at the ingenuity I've seen .
Keep in mind that labour is relatively cheap , but imported replacement parts for anything
are outrageously expensive by local standards .... and there'll be a whopping customs duty on top .

I saw an old fella replacing components on a satellite receiver board ...... sitting on his door step ,
and a few shops down the road they were making sandals and buckets out of used tyres and inner tubes !

Don't think I'd be buying those re-cut tyres though ..... pretty close to the canvas
.....

 

I'm sure I've eaten some chicken cooked on that same stove...

 

Starter motor guy, cudos. Ultimate recycling.

The tyre... thinner carcass and flat profile, something of a bodge and potentially dangerous. I do get that it recycles and keeps costs down as labour there makes this viable. Added the to fact that it will go on some low powered machine. A case of where needs must I suppose.
