I think perhaps the best indication of a true craftsman is someone who can find a path from "where we are right now" to "where we want to be". No milling machine? Ah, I have a shaper. Dividing head doesn't work right? I'll make the parts I need. Not quite stable while making the cuts? My measurements show that it is of no consequence. Every step of the way, you showed that problems were just opportunities (especially the last 5 seconds which turned out to be a great opportunity to relieve stress!) I really enjoyed this one. Hopefully, one day we'll know what invention this clever ratcheting mechanism is for.
That's what I love about the hobby. If this was my job, I couldn't experiment around like that. A milling machine is faster, so go get one. Buying a proper dividing head is quicker than tampering about with that old, worn-out thing. Ain't got the special tool? Don't grind it, buy it! As long as I don't need to make a living off it, and pay for my working time, however, I can spend as much time tinkering as I like, solely focusing on how to achieve the results I want with the tools I have. And, surprise surprise, most parts can be made with downright archaic tools. All it takes is some extra time and patience.
I found you whilst looking for videos to explain what a shaper was. I have 2 in the shop and whoever said that you can't make money with a shaper apparently has a limited skill set. Good work sir!
You need a little extra time and a bit of creativity. But grinding your own tooling is where these things really shine - try making your own dovetail cutter for a mill!
As much as I hope you get a milling machine, I do love watching you work with the shaper! Such beautiful machines and you are practically the only person on youtube that uses one. Keep the videos coming!
I like the challenge of proving to all the Nay-Sayers that you can get by really well with a shaper. Showing cases in which you're actually better off with one than with a mill... Well, I hate to admit it, but it makes me satisfied :D
👍👌👏 Extremely well done again and as always (video and work). 2 months ago CEE (channel Cutting Edge Engineering) in Australia showed, that they had bought an enormous big Klopp shaper. Maybe you are interested to see this monster of a precise machine. At least I found it fascinating, although I have no use for a shaper. Best regards, luck and health.
I am constantly inspired by your channel, Adrian - thank you. I have a 1950's lathe and am keeping an eye out for a vintage miller or shaper now, thanks to you showing how these things can be done without all the latest gadgets and gizmos...
not sure if anyone cares but if you are bored like me atm then you can stream pretty much all the latest movies and series on InstaFlixxer. Been binge watching with my brother lately :)
Well, I wanted to get the ratched done, so I hurried that a little - at a cost of reduced film footage. That's how I was able to fit all that into the first few minutes
Re-upload with censorship?, I;m very okay with the fullest use of the English languish, we curse and have bad words in jest as any people do, - nice job. It's so very nice to get into a very awkward task and just bloody do it. Have a nice day Adrian.

That was a great idea using the shaper, I hope to find one someday. The ending was priceless 😂😂😂😂
Thanks :D They do pop up quite frequently - the good thing is that unlike a milling machine, noone wants these things :D
Very nice work! The very last 5 seconds was hilarious!
Thanks for staying all the way :D

Get thee to Rustinox's channel!
Great little piece of shaper work and one of my favourite blues pieces as well... St James Infirmary......
It's one of those pieces that stays in your head, isn't it...

Dividing head abuse... over here you co to prison for that :-)
Nice work on the ratchet. Shapers are useful.
You'll never catch me alive ;P

@Jaden Zev Yup, have been using Instaflixxer for since december myself :D
You can be the next Thor with that hammering skill of yours.......LOL
Humor pouring oil into shaper. Very good. Difficult work. Nice job. 31 45B
hahahaha... nice hammer work! Reminds me of me when I miss my measurements
My great-granddad was a blacksmith... Some of it must have survived ;P
Ich habe wohl den richtigen gefunden! 😄Saubere Arbeit! 👍🏻
Auf den Belastungstest bin ich gespannt :D
Great job.Fair play to you.
Thanks :)
Can you please provide Design Calculations of the ratchet gear , we need it for our project...
Hallo Adrian, da spielt die Hobelmaschine ihr volles Potential aus, und natürlich auch der Hobelmeister :)))
Es macht Spaß, zu sehen, was das Ding alles kann :D
Wait - did I miss a cool dividing head restoration and tuning video?!

Clevere Idee, über der Mitte zu arbeiten.

You are getting serious!
And be good to the inventors. Because nobody is.
Its true. Either try to market your invention by yourself and get ignored...
or invent it for a company and see them thriving while you barely get by.
@@AstraWerke tell me about it. The last three years I'm in the court for a patent of mine.

@@AstraWerke in my case it is a very dirty story. So dirty that one day I may write a book about it.
