Watching this reminds me of an incident back in High School...Hagersville Secondary, we studied under the tutelage of Mr. Drake (Ducky). This was in the mid-1970's when high schools still had shop classes in the curriculum. One of our year-end projects was to build a machine shop hammer from prints provided by Ducky. We were each given a steel blank of 1" x 4' square stock and we were to machine the head. One of the fellows had the depth of cut incorrect as well as the stroke speed and what was to be the hammer head flew out of the vise with such speed and force that it embedded itself into the wall opposite. Ducky with all calm, walked over and shut the shaper down and calmly said "Now you know what you are not supposed to do"...
Love seeing the shaper work. One detail Adam touched on, that most people miss, is that shapers can *move some metal*. Most guys today run these things in 5% mode, just a lazy Sunday whittling away a block. But in a production scenario back in the day, these things could scare the life out of you, deep long cuts at high speed.
Adam, I have been watching your videos for several years now. February of this year I got my first actual machinist job running machines like lathes and mills with drawings holding 1thou tolerances. I had been working at a fab shop for 9 years prior doing a bunch of different things from grunt assembly work to 6G dual shield welding to being a supervisor running the cut shop and then finally inventory management for the plant. It was an awesome feeling watching your CNC content because it felt like you and I were at the same place of learning the machines and how they run. Now I'm writing my own programs by hand, its like hearing the music when reading the code! I'm loving every minute of running these beautiful machines and making chips. Thank you for the videos and for getting me interested into this side of the trade.
Cool you used a shaper, considering Jason does as well. With this level of attention to detail, you'll probably have the best Hardtail in existence, which means you'll likely own the best vise in the world! xD
i am very happy to see the shaper in action again, god i missed this bad boy.. please dont leave that good boy shaper alone for such a long time... thank you for this great video.
The best ASMR on the web. I will neve get tired of watching that machine make chips. Being back at the old shop brings a smile to my face, kinda like going to an old buddies house for a cold one. Thanks 💯
IDK, maybe I'm weird I love the sound of that long cut. The soft noise almost put me to sleep because I find that sound so nice. It sounds so much better that any mill . Oh yea you must have ear buds in too.😊
Very good video Back in the day I used to run a shaper and make dies with very intricate shapes and patterns to stamp out parts for the automotive industry . !!
Rustinox uses his shaper all the time, and finds ways to use it when you might not expect it. He's got mills and lathes too, but he, like Adam, likes to use his shaper whenever he can. If you haven't seen his channel, he's got a great 'hobbyist' style channel, always trying to make things out of 'found' materials. He also likes to discuss his problem solving approaches, and also sometimes talks about his 'real' job working on inland barges.
I think the shaper was very handy at removing large amounts of steel to ruff in parts to be finished with other machines like the surface grinder and milling machines. I liked them mostly because after setup I could be doing other jobs while the shaper could be left alone. Thanks for sharing and bringing back some good old memories.
I know cnc machines are the current must have machine in a Machine shop but give me a shaper any day. Just luv the mechanical motion and the material finish is superb. Australia.
The fascinating part about a shaper is that it's a one edge metal cutting machine like the lathe. The tooling is easy to maintain. There is very little in dimensions of the tool you have to look for. Sharpening is as easy as going some grinding. For an hobby shop it's a really useful tool.
Been watching it seems ten yrs or so, this is one of the ones/kinds I really like, how to do stuff, common pitfalls, and the shaper especially, just cant go wrong with those vids.
I do understand you wanting to use all the different machines while doing the job, but I wish you'll use as much as possible the shaper. I had never seen one (or knew those existed) before I found your world years ago. I just love all about the machines. The sound, the accuracy, the timeless feeling of it doing its job. In the end I watch and learn from you, which ever machine(s) you use. I don't know if I ever need this knowledge, but learning new things is never a bad thing.
Shaper action really is soothing. Back in college I ran it every chance I got. The only shop i ever worked in that had one. Getting off into the weeds a bit, but way back when, everyone everywhere called them fixed and sliding jaws. Since RUclips, everyone's vocabulary has changed to calling them static and dynamic jaws. Just an observation.
Sure miss the home shop video’s after watching those machines for so many years. New shop is awesome, but, I really enjoyed seeing the old shaper in action again. It would be great if you could split your videos equally between shops. Some for the new shop CNC viewers and some for us manual machine lovers that watched you do countless jobs on the older equipment in your home shop. Finishing this part in the home shop would be nice or maybe do some work on another piece in the home shop.
Thanks Adam I always enjoy seeing the shaper work even if it is slower than a cat covering poo poo on a marble floor it's the Cat's Meow for pure enjoyment of watching. Can't be beat at cutting an inside key-way either, nothing else does that with such ease, there is always the broach but not nearly as much fun to watch as a shaper and those broaches get expensive quick in larger sizes where as the shaper does not care, you can cut any size key-way for free except for your time. Of course time is never really free or plentiful enough. But it's the fun that counts sometimes too.
Man I love the G&E videos. Reminds me of my time running a modified Zanrosso head grinder. It had a double clapper box so it cut on both strokes. So methodical and the cutting sound is so relaxing.
It's amazing to see a 1/10 of an inch depth of cut! And the "finishing pass" is a "light cut" of 10 thousandths! No doubt about it, the shaper is a beast!
That book is excellent. I found mine in a used book store nearly 40 years ago. Very helpful for a home shop machinist, particularly, the shaper section.
I've heard shapers & planers can give better results on certain plastics with internal residual stress distortion than milling. I don't have anything to back that up, though.
I just love the sound of the cut that a shaper makes! We have a huge planer mill and an old Cincinnati shaper. I've never actually seen the planer cut like a shaper, but it does and can cut on 3 sides. Really awesome productivity machines.
That sweet sweet shaper content! 😁 Thanks for the extended footage of it just cutting. The sound was excellent too. I just happened to watch this on my main TV with fancy speakers and it sounded incredible hahaha! I would just like to take this moment to appreciate the clapper, too, the sound it makes is also excellent.
Now we know where the sound effect for the Tardis comes from. I kept waiting for Dr Who to appear. You do have the coolest toys. Thanks for another great video
That was fun! I remember when you brought the shaper in and rebuilt it. I will look forward to when you put your partially-finished part on the CNC mill and do some of the other cuts. There aren't that many machinists on RUclips who are skilled in the old ways but willing to try the new methods. I know that you're still learning on the new machines, but learning new things is partly what RUclips is all about.
Got a recommendation earlier toyed for a video you uploaded about five years ago doing some shaper work. I was curious when we would get another video with some shaper work and here we are lol.
The shaper is a wicked machine for sure! Out of curiosity I noticed the clapper had a slight movement when the tool entered that void in the piece. Does the clapper reset fast enough within that moment to get back into place and avoid any kind of irregularities in the material past the void?

its really nostalgic seeing the old home shop miss the home shop videos!
It’s not a home shop it’s his family’s business. Totally get what your saying though❤

Of course, before attempting this, Adam should bolt his to the floor :D
In a production setting, I'd imagine all cuts would be made in one pass at double the speed and maybe 50-100% more feed.
That thing really is mesmerizing. It's like watching a camp fire, or the ocean waves.
Oh thank god some shaper footage in the old shop! Feels like home again.
G&E Shaper content will always be welcome. I can't imagine a better machine for starting off the machining work on the dynamic jaw.
The ‘Shaper’ makes this channel very special. I love that Abom showcases it from time to time.
😍🥰👍
Listening to the shaper is as relaxing as a water feature.

That shaper is hypnotic!❤
This really brings me back. Love watching and listening to a shaper run !
Anything Shaper is my cup of tea. For that matter, anything Abom is my dig! ❤ you brother
I agree I love watching this machine do work. It's mesmerizing and calm. Such a simple way to cut steel and not much to go wrong. Love it.
Cool you used a shaper, considering Jason does as well. With this level of attention to detail, you'll probably have the best Hardtail in existence, which means you'll likely own the best vise in the world! xD
The fact that they are “outdated” just makes it so much more interesting. Thank you for sharing this with us ❤
Thanks again Adam! I’ve never wanted a shaper more.
The best videos I saw with shaper are the ones you produce. excellent sharpening of the tool and good finish. Thank you
There's just something mesmerizing about watching a shaper work.
This is the classic Abom work I can get behind...
I like seeing the shaper in action again
Incredible machine. It is amazing that there is no droop in the cutting head after moving 29". Well built. I love your attention to detail.
Always appreciate when you have a reason to use the shaper :D
Oh my! 53 minutes of Abom machining! I'm so excited! I can't wait to watch!!!
The shaper in action is kind of hypnotic to watch😊
i am very happy to see the shaper in action again, god i missed this bad boy.. please dont leave that good boy shaper alone for such a long time... thank you for this great video.
Sweet more shaper action. Not to mention two shop project. Old shop love.
A shaper machine isn't obsolete by any means, it's a very important element in entertaining video content!
The best ASMR on the web. I will neve get tired of watching that machine make chips. Being back at the old shop brings a smile to my face, kinda like going to an old buddies house for a cold one. Thanks 💯
"The only thing you can't make on a shaper is money." - Mr. Pete
love the sound the clapper makes. Best sound ever.
Enjoy seeing the shaper at work again :)
This machine can honestly be therapeutic 😊
I am always excited to see another Abom video coming out, these are the highlight of my week!
Maybe outdated but the surface finish is so much cooler than face mills!
shaper time, real abom79 hours 💯
Quality.... Vey nice to see you in your home shop again ..... AND your Beautiful old skool machines.
peace
Shaper for the win. I ran these 40 years ago and the rhythmic sounds evoked some very successful metal manipulation jobs long ago. Thanks Adam!
lordy, has it been five years? wow! time indeed flies when ya have great content from an amazing person!
This took me back about 5 or 6 years...
I recall watching this for hours on end.
I too like watching the shaper work. For some reason it always reminds me of an old steam locomotive plowing down a snowy track.
IDK, maybe I'm weird I love the sound of that long cut. The soft noise almost put me to sleep because I find that sound so nice. It sounds so much better that any mill . Oh yea you must have ear buds in too.😊
woop woop! Now this is the Abom content everybody wants to see!
Nearly an hour of relaxing shaper footage. What a treat! Thanks Adam!
Good to see the 'ol shop again!
Very good video Back in the day I used to run a shaper and make dies with very intricate shapes and patterns to stamp out parts for the automotive industry . !!
Really enjoy the old shaper, thank you for getting her out

Thanks for the shout out :)
The best machining ASMR is the shaper ASMR.
Awe man the nostalgia in this hit me right in the feels. 😖
The chips and the finish show what a good job Jason did on the castings.
I think the shaper was very handy at removing large amounts of steel to ruff in parts to be finished with other machines like the surface grinder and milling machines.
I liked them mostly because after setup I could be doing other jobs while the shaper could be left alone.
Thanks for sharing and bringing back some good old memories.
Love watching these old machines that built America work
Some soothing shaper asmr …. Hell I’m gonna buy one to help me sleep 🤣🤣
Shapers have the coolest sound in the shop.
I can watch a shaper run all day and never tire of it. Love the old school finish they make.
I know cnc machines are the current must have machine in a Machine shop but give me a shaper any day. Just luv the mechanical motion and the material finish is superb. Australia.
Anyone else mesmerized by the shaper! I could stare at it for hours…..

OH! HELL YEAH! Bring on the shaper! Thanks Adam
Nice to see the G&E again. Love to see the shaper in action.
Nothing better than the shaper. I never knew that was a thing before this channel.
Love - Honesty - Respect - No Fear - No Hate 💖💖💖
No other machine can beat the shaper for this kind of job. Good one, Adam.

I could watch this all day

I think e all want to see you finish it up on the shaper! Miss seeing it and the home shop!

I love seeing the shaper in action
Love watching the shaper, it sure can remove material fast. Thanks for sharing and sure nice seeing the home shop.
Good old home shop...
I use emery like you in my wood working machines.
My advice is to use two pieces glued back to back because it can slip on the side that has no grit.
great video. It's a joy to watch you doing the stuff you enjoy most.
It's singing me a lullaby. Very soothing.
That book is excellent. I found mine in a used book store nearly 40 years ago. Very helpful for a home shop machinist, particularly, the shaper section.
You're right about the book I bought mine in 1984 when I went to tech school and I still refer to it all the time
this is the video ive been waiting for
I've heard shapers & planers can give better results on certain plastics with internal residual stress distortion than milling. I don't have anything to back that up, though.
nice seeing the shaper in action
We have one in the shop, isn't used much but when it's needed its REALLY NEEDED
The shaper in the home shop. WIN WIN !!
I just love the sound of the cut that a shaper makes! We have a huge planer mill and an old Cincinnati shaper. I've never actually seen the planer cut like a shaper, but it does and can cut on 3 sides. Really awesome productivity machines.

I know that you're still learning on the new machines, but learning new things is partly what RUclips is all about.
In the 50s and 60s the students of the high school I attended Iti Omar in Novara (Italy) built these extraordinary machines in the school workshops.
Got a recommendation earlier toyed for a video you uploaded about five years ago doing some shaper work. I was curious when we would get another video with some shaper work and here we are lol.
Finally a shaper video again
It was good to see the shaper working again.
I've been looking forward to the shaper footage since you announced the machining of this vice.
Right am I the only one that hears the tardis in the cutting sound haha
Well it is taking you back in time in a way.
I love how the scraper ‘sneaks up’ on finished sizes, really cool young man. Joe.
Love to see shaper work.
I don’t think the shaper is outdated. Some peoples opinions of it are however. Awesome tool. Incredibly pleasing sound from the shaper.
The shaper is a wicked machine for sure! Out of curiosity I noticed the clapper had a slight movement when the tool entered that void in the piece. Does the clapper reset fast enough within that moment to get back into place and avoid any kind of irregularities in the material past the void?
