Not gonna lie . I do miss seeing your collection displayed in the background of some of your videos. Yeah I couldn’t see anything in detail but for some quirky reason I just thought it was neat .
Can i ask what lights he used in the cabinet? They looked like just what i need for something! :D
Love how the lights dim when the Lathe switches on 😂
Big motor on the same line. Kinda like having water run down a pipe and flowing at one end you open up another tap in between and until the flow equalizes, the waterflow on the end is lesser.
Quite the power surge
@@aserta Also doesn't help that he apparently has the lights above the lathe and the lathe itself (and possibly other things) plugged into a power strip mounted on the wall above it. (You can see him unplug it around 15:37 while he's working on the gear section.)
It's probably a capacitor start motor. They build up a lot of current and then dump it all at once to kickstart the motor.
At the Heritage railway i used to work at the shop lights would flicker when we started the big lathe, it was like 4500mm between centers and 700mm over bed.
No one but me cares, but I just started a project to reorganize our attic space, which was previously an unusable pile of stuff.
I've installed shelving, and purchased identical storage boxes in various sizes that we are now transferring said stuff into from the random (and always far too large) storage that was previously utilized. The images of your sortimo walls were absolutely an inspiration. I also have 1" white gaffer tape to label the everything.
It is glorious!
I love how happy and excited Adam is about the new arrangement of the shop. I look forward to seeing how the live builds and time lapses look with more space to play with. It's also a bit more like a journey to follow back and forth.
Also, editor, you make me laugh.
The madness of Adam in the middle of a project alone is something to behold.
For maximum speed
adhd personified.
Ha, when he snatches up the still plugged in cabinet and walks into the other room, yanking the cord out half way.
I'm smelling new editing techniques and I'm loving them.
Josh Self is back from paternity leave!
I appreciate that you show little missteps like dropping screws. It shows those of us more amateur tinkers that even someone with more experience can sometimes have clumsy fingers.
Just rewatched Ping Pong Ball launcher and thought WOW the shop looks SO different! The whole space looks like everything is first-order-retrievability gone amok, must be such a pleasure to work now with so much more elbow room. Huzzah!
Adam, as a proud Aussie I love how you show gratitude to CEE and his love for quality tooling and work. I can only hope that you and Curtis find a way to do a collaboration one day or you guys get to do a face to face one day and talk shop. It's just a hard question as to who's shop you meet at because I know either way someone's mind will be blown.
May I also suggest a bunch of soft close sliders for your drills and anything else you place under the lathe. Short risers will work for the sliders to keep the light even across your storage area.
I miss the Swiss army knife moving in the background during the time lapse shots. Since it could be considered a tool, I think it still belongs in the shop. 😊
I mean its everyday carry right? :D
Yes bring back the knife.
Mr, Savage,
It's always a pleasure watching a craftsman of your caliber work.
I absolutely love these shop makeover builds. I'm in the process myself. I love the Savage hardware store.
Thanks to you, every shelf and cabinet in my apartment and "dining shop" is now lit up. Absolute game changer. Things don't pile up because they're hidden in a dark corner, I see what I'm doing and fix it on the spot or get a constant reminder to do so. So much easier to find things as well!
I took it a step further. Underside of my computer desk is also lit up now. Things don't get tossed down there and forgotten and when the crumbs/cat hair become visible I'm quick to vacuum now.
For this small but useful thing, you have my deepest gratitude. I'm horribly lazy, this has massively helped me maintain some level of cleanliness and organization.
11:40 makes me feel better about all the times it’s happened to me. Thanks Adam for keeping in little bits like that, they’re important and relatable.
I have a small Jet 13x40 I bought new in 97. Been an amazing tool and paid for its self a 1000 time over. It’s really heavy and has two cabinets on either end where I keep hundreds of pounds of round drops and my chucks. I love this cabinet you built. I believe you bought a new lathe since this video was shot. It sounded like my main Sharpe mill that needs swapped out with a good one I don’t use because of space problems. Thanks for sharing and inspiring. You rock
I'd like to see the gearbox cleaning in detail. Love that stuff. 🥰
Adam - you might well want to add one of the same light strips to the lid of your parts washer. As you know, lots of light is always good to have.
@@johnherrmann-dm7dmsorry, Adam is not present in this thread.
Loving the opportunities for deep focus Easter eggs in this updated shop layout. The new space has clearly energized the Maestro.
I would LOVE to see you take apart and jazz up your lathe! I know I'm not the only person who'd enjoy that!!
I get so jealous watching these videos... Adam has every tool imaginable! I live in a tiny apartment and have maybe ONE DRAWER to keep some basic tools in, maybe a half a cubic meter of space if not less. Adam, you lucky man!
A bit spooky how the editor knew I'd already watched the reorg videos, but It felt nice to be seen!
The 1st cabinet I put a light in was a bathroom corner sink cabinet in 1998, when I was remodeling my 1st house.
I'd been building/installing cabinets as a remodeler for 30+ years & had never thought of it before.
Now, I can't understand why ALL lower cabinets don't have lights. I worked my way thru the bathroom & kitchen putting lights in the lowers.
Now that I'm officially ancient & my eyes struggle w/ light transition, I'm even more pleased I did.
What cabinets I have after the shop remodel I'm in the midst of, will get lighting, as well. But I'm moving from cabinets to a full wall open shelving design & getting rid of half my cabs. Most remaining cabs will be drawer cabs
Space, after all is the final frontier ! 🖖
It's a mark of a great machinist, when your tooling gets it's own lit display cabinet. If you treat your tools with respect they will return it a thousand fold
Love the videos man i could be entertained watching you build anything. Cool stuff
I see a perfect opportunity for a tall, pull out rack (spice rack style) in the narrow opening to the left of the cabinet. Would be a perfect place for all of the centers and chucks!
That's where the multi-fix tool holders should go!
I loved the Who's Tommy line there, Adam, cudos.
The text entered at 13:40 literally made me lol. Brilliant! 😂
Adam, we want to see that tear down and replacement. Great idea for a video.
Two lathes! How lavish💚🇬🇧🌱
I'd setup the second lathe for CNC operations. It's easy and it opens up some tasty possibilities. Depending on how profesh the upgrade is, it can be expensive, but you can 100% make it on the cheap, including second hand parts and DIY componentry.
It’s far more sensible for someone like Adam to buy a used cnc lathe. It is by no means easy, and the usefulness is limited for him retrofitting an old lathe is almost never worth it, for a multitude of reasons.
Personally I wouldnt have put the drillbits at the bottom, now you need to bend down, get it out of there, get the one you need, then put it back. Maybe if it was on rails, so you can just 1 handedly pull it out, get the bit and push it back. But I do always enjoy watching your videos :D Very entertaining to watch you figure things out.
I enjoy this process and love that Adam always finds a way to add extra storage to the shop that is also very useful for him in terms of retrieval. However, being sat here with a very sore back right now, I can think of nothing worse than having to bend down to get everything from this new cupboard! 😂
Great work Adam; your cabinet was elegantly simple in construction. I noticed your lights dimming when you turned the lathe on; I think this indicates power sharing between differently-rated circuits. With a complex set-up such as your workshop(s), it is probably worth reviewing your electric supply circuits and/or advice from a clever Sparkie, who may recommend upgrading sections of the supply cables. Something beyond my skills to do, but then most of my tooling is hand or battery powered!
I love enthusiastically cheering for somebody who buys the infrastructure of an effects shop, and pays forward the intricate and potential artistry that comes with an organized and healthy community, seeking materials and guidance.
I did not know that Jamie had already modeled this cool approach, but I was certain I valued yours.
As a Mythbusters fan, that's possibly the most enriching callback I could ever have. As a Tested fan, that's any Friday.
I swear, every 3 weeks you challenged me to be a better human or you just model better empiricism. I think you do this effortlessly, and I think that's the best part about being a fan of yours.
I have enjoyed watching you hone your approach so authentically and transparently. I won't waste your time trying to explain how many times you've validated my own approaches, but it's been often
You articulated things that made sense to me in my twenties and I'm 46 now. It's been fun.
I'm currently enjoying the empirical process of separating how much I'm personally biased by your approach, and I'm friends with a lot of (Tested plPatreon supporters?)
I decided a while back that I would just like and share every video of yours I found enriching and valuable. You've made me look cool by sharing your passions.
You and me? We're going on 20 years of parisocial camaraderie, lol😅
You inspired me to build my own Andrew Klein workbench. Tears, gears, levers, welding and all.
What's even cooler is you consistently introduce me to other makers and artists who have really unique and inspiring ideas.
The easiest thing about supporting Tested, is checking out the stuff you think is cool.
I think it's like 80% of the time, it's cool shit.
Thanks for being genuine. Thanks for only getting more authentic. Thank you for modeling things I value.
Hey Adam, Suggestion - You could PIVOT the TWO LATHES to form a U SHAPED LATHE PIT - Lathes facing each other.
Then you would not have to walk around into the Hardware Store to use the smaller lathe.
You could out the Chucks and common Accessories at the end of the U SHAPED PIT to close it off from the Hardware section and gain more area there.
Regardless - Love the reorganization - you are an amazingly patient man - I would have lost what's left of my mind.. ;)
OMG!!! Somebody came in and committed a neatness!
I have a lathe in that class. If you remove the spindle, be sure you have the belt in place before you slide the spindle back in. I missed that step the first time😯 so I had to immediately remove it a second time😖 I'll be interested to see how you preload the spindle bearings.
“Lit cabinets is how I keep my cabinets neat.” I felt that. 😁
Great video Mr.Adam! I'm a big fan of the myth busters . Wish y'all could make a come back!
Hey Adam your awesome, you live the life that most of us wish we could
The cave looks great!
Adam, it appears that you have that lathe wired for ~110V and plugged into a power strip(as seen being unplugged around 15:37) with other things, if I'm not mistaken that lathe has a ~1HP motor in it which likely has a nameplate rating of around ~12.6A at 110V(unless the motor has been swapped of course), per NEC 430 and assuming it has a 1HP motor that lathe should be on its own 15A circuit @~110V. Please check the motor nameplate rating and adjust how the lathe is connected to power for safety sake. You could also rewire the motor connections for 220V(it should be a dual voltage motor) and supply it with an appropriate 220V circuit. At least eliminate the power strip between the lathe and the power source, between starting current and current under load when machining something, that power strip is not likely to be happy.
So much room for activities!
to the point of expanding tools and expanding spaces, or shedding tools and compacting space, I think its a continuum of waves of expanding your world by adding tools to your toolbox, then finding what works in your world and what is excess. Sometimes you want to reduce what you do each day to gain expertise and focus, and other times you want to expand your world and learn new things, new tools, new processes, or to refine and redo processes to make those processes you currently know and make them better through a kaizen process. Upgrades, maintenance, expansion, focus... its all a big cycle of life. Happy Tooling!
The shop looks great!
The inside of the drive cabinet looks very much like the inside of my drill press and on more than a moment's thinking I'm all like "Well, _yeah_." xD
👍👍Like it. Really like the idea of a plastic back to let light through!
Before taking the gearbox apart check the play between the interchangable gears! Its common that people leave not enough play between gears when switching them out! gears should have some play. Put some drops of oil on the gears after adjusting. 9/10 times its tight gears that cause that sound!
If that does not help, check if the main bearing for the chuck spindle needs adjustment.
Greeting from a machineist from Sweden.
We had one ...but what about second lathe?....
I don't think they've heard of second lathe, Pip
He showed both lathes and talked about how he acquired them. 🙄🙄🙄
What about afternoon lathe...? Or evening lathe...?!😰
@@beaverc2884 LotR joke.😉
Love the new refurbished cave!
The Cave is HUGE now! It is now a Cavern!😜
I've always thought of the lathe as the simultaneously most fun and terrifying machine in the shop. My dad let me run milling machines, drill presses, brakes, bandsaws. Hell, I think I welded ever before I could get on his mid-40's Logan.
Nice job, Adam.
Adam Savage sound effects as thoughts makes me think he should be Charlie Day's long lost cousin or Uncle on Its Always Sunny. LOL
I am sure this has been suggested but I think you need to move your table saw to the new hardware store area. You could build sweet outfeed table with tons of storage and place it right where one of your work tables are located currently. Outfeed tables with table saws greatly increase efficiency as well as safety. It would almost be no consequence unless you can't seem to keep it clean.
I think you should have a backsplash behind the lathe (plexi?) so that fluids are better contained. Also, I like using 3D-printed stands for Morse taper tooling so the tapers don't bang around and get 'bruised'. Personally, I would have made the cabinet ~8 inches shorter so that the top could be an open shelf for stuff you need at hand (like a lathe file). But I love the idea of lights!
Expression at 7:01 “that’s a real positive grab right there” 😂
Your cave looks like you have so much more room ! So nice
Casually R2D2 wondering if Adam finally talked to him at the 13 ish minute mark... Your editor is such a gem. We want a QA with them :)
I've been wondering if I could put my 12x36 on wheels, now I have my answer. Sure would help cleaning the swarf that inevitably accumulates behind one.
I've been using a small Grizzly G0704 Mill for around 10 years in my shop and just recently found a good deal on a 1974 Bridgeport Series 1. I have been on the fence on what to do with the Grizzly since it does come in handy, but "Do I really need 2 mills?" I think I was just talked into keeping it, lol.
Gotta love R2 with a western revolver belt on 😂😂
I actually want to see this movie now lol
I also love your approach to a build, you write it and plan it up, like it was an custom order for someone else to build, then you fulfil that order to the best of the "clients" schematics.
That is by far the best way to get the best results, i can't count the times i've dropped something because of the thought "it's just for myself, nobody cares".
But, going into it with the idea that it's for someone else, makes me want to make it 101% perfect and I'm equally 101% satisfied with it afterwards.
It even helps if you record yourself, doesn't really matter that nobody's ever going to watch it but, the idea in the back of your head, that you're "on", makes you perform 101%.
Btw, is that rain in the background? That's some next level madness downpour...
PS: LOVE it when you talk to your R2, i would be talking to him all the time, probably add a voice activated module so he answers randomly 😂
Are you going to install a DRO for machine number two? Also, it can’t be a very stable machine, now being on rubber wheels and all, is it?
Love your work and philosophy, Adam. ❤
It looks so good.❤
Why do the lights dimm? Is the lathe plugged into a lighting circuit? Might need to run some extra dedicated circuits for the Big Iron.
How cool would it be if R2D2 answered back right there 22:24, out of the blue 😂
"So much more room for activities!!!" ;-)
6:30 - Tommy! ❤ 🪞
Find, and if possible, buy, the giant, Ace comb from Spaceballs.
I like how lathe back Adam is! 😅 ok I’ll se myself out
Well done!
Nice little build 👍
Normally a lathe run CCW (normal rotation) when the handle is pushed downwards. Yours go CW. 😊
Best regards
you gotta get that light on another line. that start up flicker is crazy
nice build That Shenwai sounds excat likes mine from 1978 when the feed is engaged. the smal gears running again the spindel sounds terible and trhe 127 tooth gear sings its own song. the build in poulies are on an extra frame behind the headstock.
great lathe use it every week.
lol. I've always said, the more space you have, the more stuff you put in it.
Adam, you remind me if the definition of a gas. You freely fill an empty void with no fixed shape.
Space behind the lathe? Filled it with another lathe.. Space beside the mill? Filled it with another mill.
I love it
I want ONE lathe and this man has an industrial size lathe and mill AND a mini of both! 😂
I could not agree more. I get it ... If I had the room (and budget) I would have more fun toys! I am just trying to figure out why you would need a second lathe?
TV money.
@trytofinishsomething i mean smaller chuck and rotating mass probably translates to better acurracy with tiny parts? Plus its gotta be easier to work with the lighter tooling lol
Beautiful cabinet !
Adam: "So packed in a way I cant lose things" Murphy: " Hold my beer" Amazing revamp of the shop! Working on my own right now, dont have near the space you do but Im maxing my use the best I can.
I ❤ shop infrastructure videos!!
You’re in luck, then! Lots coming up.
didn't he almost lost his finger a couple of months ago doing the exact same thing as in @19:07 ?!??!
take cara Mr. Savage!!!!!!!!!
I was just going to say the same thing! I saw the towel and thought "at least he knows not to turn it on now" seconds before he turned it on... Stay safe out there, folks!
Hey there Adam. I just needed to say that you're the epitome of who and where I want to be in life. My dream has always been to combine my 3 favorite things of making things, helping people, and electronics to help design bionic/cybernetic replacement parts for the human body. Sadly, after my 22k gal bladder surgery, heart issues, and the fracture in my back that I'm talking with the doctor today about surgery options, i don't believe I'll get to that dream. At the bare minimum I found hope in being the kind of person my partner and daughter deserve to be whether that's in a wheel chair or not and that's you. You always bring a smile to my heart and I am happy that i finally found my role model after being asked that question oh so long ago in 1st grade. I wish you and yours all the best and much love. Have a wonderful rest of the year Adam!
15:20 "Now i'm going to do some cleaning of the lathe". Me: Getting Vietnam flashbacks from the last time he did this.
6:40 "Fantistic" Adam has spent too much time here in NZ 🤣
He's DYING to go back, too.
Thanks Mate 🍻
I like to think that whenever a time lapse happens it's just Adam being a speedster and going really fast
Sometimes it feels that way in real time.
Wish I could make those work related sound effects ! !
"And through the magic of buying two of them..."
I love the sequence @8:05 where Adam goes off camera to cut board, then edited so that it happens perfectly on the next beat. It's a rhythmic poem in cinematic form. And its probably a by-product of not wanting to move the camera while in a flow state, but it was edited into something marvelous 😂
"I gotta put some ## y'know, on the ~~ and the / / and then we'll be !!!!!!! YEAHH!!" -Adam Savage 2024
🎶🎶 Papa’s got a brand new cave! Wah! 🎶🎶
Epic build
I just received my new demerit badges, and I had an idea for one. A screw /nail blowout. As a furniture repair/refinishing guy , I've had more than a few blowouts on finished surfaces and then had to repair that surface. But any ol blowout is lame in my opinion! Much love -k-
Funny thought this video was about Pod racer because it looks like that in the thumbnail photo. Know realize it is the Lathe bits that look like pod racer engines 😅
Ikr, I clicked immediately due to that and then read the title.
You've gotten Lathe-back, Adam! :) Sorry, I couldn't help myself :)
I think my jet 1340 is going to get the same thing done to it for some more space that is organized and very visable .
Super shop Adam, will you be filming the strip down of the lathe? Thanks for the video.👍👍
Love your Adam!
Papa's got a brand new cave! *horn hit*
Before to take your lathe apart to see why it's noisy. Try giving it gear oil on the gears. if it has become less accurate I wouldn't do any major sugary.. this would be easier, quicker and take less time. good luck and have fun!
"i wanna fill the space" in an odd tone... after the previous sentence... to quote George Takei "Oh, Myyyy."
