Very good....virtually identical to what I use apart from the size of the coach bolt head. I use a smaller headed bolt as I find the coach bolt too large if the model has mud guards (fenders). Personal choice.My version falls half way between Martys set up and yours. I also have a slightly larger version for Dinkys as they have larger diameter axles. Really well explained tutorial....I'm sure that other restorers starting out will find it very useful. 👍

@MatchboxRestoration 5 жыл бұрын

True, the shape of the bolts I use aren't that suitable to get in tight spots. I might need to have another one specifically for those hard to reach areas. Glad you like it!

Thank you. I don't have a drill press, but I do have a good hand drill and a vise, something similar should work,

@MatchboxRestoration 5 жыл бұрын

Sure, you can try to do the same with a hand drill. It might be a bit harder, but it may work. Good luck!

@@MatchboxRestoration I'm looking in to a fixture that makes a hand drill a small drill press. May make one if I can't buy one. Not all that complicated really.

@@MatchboxRestoration your next tutorial should be about painting. For example kinds of paint that you use for your Restorations and airbrush techniques that are best for a successful restoration. I would love to support your work using Patron could you give me some information about that. Your videos are highly informational and educational you have reached 5K subscribers in such a short time that tells me a lot about your dedication and your professionalism to these Restorations that I really appreciate and so do your fans soon and very soon it will reach 10K and you richly deserve every good thing for your hard work again thanks.

I've tried this today but the axle just deforms the hole in the nail. I can't find anything strong enough to create the domed end.

@robw5088 5 жыл бұрын

Nice quick video, right to the point. I'm just curious if using a carriage bolt instead of a nail has ever interfered with the body or wheel wells of the diecast itself?

@MatchboxRestoration 5 жыл бұрын

It does sometimes. I’ll need to search for another one that is a bit narrower.

@41plymouthnut87 5 жыл бұрын

Maybe you can use a file while turning it in the drill press to reduce the diameter.

Nice mate! I have been waiting for a good tutorial on axles! I use 2mm rivets in place of axles from time to time and I have been using a Ball-peen hammer! (Which is hard due to hitting the freshly painted tires :) )

Is this working with a normal drill? I don't have this standing drill..

It can work, but it's a lot harder to keep the drill in place while applying pressure.

Thanks very much for the tutorial, based on your restoration videos I've created a similar one.. and wrecked it the other day. The replacement axle material was tougher than my tool and drilled a hole in it :o( What material do you use for replacement axels? Many thanks and keep restoring them, I enjoy your channel al lot.

@MatchboxRestoration 5 жыл бұрын

Thanks for becoming a Patron, Thom! I just have sent a welcome message with a personalised photo. I haven't used any replacement axles so far, but I have different options laying around. I have a couple 1/16th brass rods and an axle replacement kit from ebay (ebay.us/dpIaye) The replacement kit might be featured in my next restoration video.
