@kiarra00 judging from what I have seen you have the ability to learn without too much trouble. It's really not that hard to do. Have you considered doing a night course in machining or the like?
@Samqdf I did learn machining at school, but it's a few years ago... I should buy myself a lathe, and I think I could remember the basic things, but it takes practice to do it fast and good like you do....
@kiarra00 well this is a time lapse video so the real time to make this hub is over 12 hours, not so fast! Anyway I really suggest you buy a lathe, most of it's use is common sense.
@TheJeromesoda the hub pictured at 4:00 is a rear hub that I made however I didn't take a video of it. It suits a threaded freewheel. I will send you a message on some information that that help
@Menga666 there is a missing stage in this video of before I bored out the middle section where it was removed from the machine and drilled in a milling machine with a dividing head. As with lightweight parts you keep less than 10% of what you start with. If you want to make it strong and light you without hot metal spinning then it's the only way.
@Samqdf yes, you're rigth, if you want to make one hub or 10 hubs, isnt cheap make a cold forging die. it's possible make this hub by hot metal spinning? really? ovbious not the entire hub, just a basic shape and then finish them with the lathe tool.
@PaFirePhoto thanks but it's more patience. This is not as hard as it looks and could be made with some basic training. Although getting the bearing recesses right is tricky, this I am still improving on..
@yamaha04rider well very much so had it not be for the fact that I can't buy one, they don't exist. I want a super light weight 36 hole hub with sealed bearings and a hollow non threaded axle.
You should never wear gloves or a long sleeves when operating machine tools. Gloves and sleeves can get caught in moving parts and rip fingers, hands and arms off your body.
@stef1696 theres a section missing from the video just before cutting the middle out where I put it on a milling machine and drill them out with a dividing head. Same goes for the disk brake mounts and the spaces between the mounting tabs
@axmayaynerray well I doubt it would be under enough shock force to have any initial stress fatigue cracks. That said though that is a decent surface finish, much smoother and with less grouves than many of the hubs I have seen on mountain bikes.
judging by the skills you got there, you could probably do a short run of super lite rear hubs meant for threaded cogs and sell them to people in the trials community. Hell, I'd buy one
@Samqdf of course they are, but that wouldn't stop certain people from buying something them if the price is right. Some frames need different special sizing as well so it is sometimes a bit of a niche market depending on your frame and what you want to do with it.
@sgtfoxhound I know what you mean and I agree with you. However I only had them down when I was doing the bulk material removal, any time I was anywhere near the moving parts I had them rolled up, same goes for the gloves. Unfortunetly with this old lathe the handwheel is inline with the chuck so I get the bulk of the swarf thrown in my direction.
Nice video man! I wish I was that good machining custom parts! :)

@llamafur not on this lathe it won't, I have low belt tension so it wouldn't be able to hurt me much. Although I do know it's still not a good idea.
