I learned how to indicate a piece of stock by watching your videos... Don't ever stop going back to basics. Somewhere there's somebody watching, taking notes. Good stuff, Adam.
It wasn't the most complex machining project, but there was a business depending on this part getting made quickly and correctly. I always like seeing this sort of thing and it's why it's so important that new machinists get trained. You can't just go buy new parts for a lot of heavy duty equipment that's been in use for decades or if you can the cost is horrendous.
Great observation and one of the reasoned why I tell folks that manual machines and manual machinist will always be in demand. The repair sectors will always need their services.
That was a professional way to address the comments of the weight of the skyhook and all the comments on the previous part of this video making fun of you choosing to use it. As someone with a bad back I make decisions like you did all the time. Sometimes it may look silly but when I'm left with a less sore back at the end of the day... anything that got me there was worth it! And sir... your content will never "Bore" me. I could watch you machine an entire tube down to nothing and still want another 30 min video of it the next week!
Adam this will probably get lost in the comments, but in complete honestly your channel is one of the best things I’ve found on RUclips or anywhere. I work long days and more often than not your videos and a whiskey is how I decompress in the evening. With all the BS politics and insane rhetoric out there, it’s a real sanity check to stay grounded in something REAL. The reason I love this work is because it’s HONEST. Machinery, tools, material, and end product. No smoke and mirrors, no ambiguity. Not always perfect, but it never lies. Thanks for what you do man, it matters.
I know it’s often hard to get shots of the finished and assembled pieces, but it really does bring the size, scale and function together. Glad you were able to get a few shots of the boom welding.
Way to keep showing people "how it's done"! Watching your vids keeps my memory fresh. It's amazing how fuzzy ones memory gets after 11 years of retirement.
Great watching old fashion machine work being done the way I learned it back in the 60s as an apprentice. Still have my tapping spring too. Keep going.
I've been watching Abom79 and TOT for a long time now, and finally took the plunge and have bought a second-hand Myford Super 7. Not a big machine, but I'll be able to put into practice a lot of stuff learned from these two gents. Stefan Gotteswinter - well, that's probably a bridge too far :-)
Adam, thank you for sharing and posting this. This is like the original Rotary Welding Table footage, and instruction, that hooked me years ago. Nice to see Joe's guys at the welding shop too.
Very cool, being retired, forgot what day it is! SNS's for the win! Great little project. You don't know how I appreciate a sharp tools since watching your channel. My old cheap box store drill bits putting out dust was it for me for a while. Now I have good cobalt steel drill bits and the difference is night and day, also help to have a little cutting oil. I've learned a lot of little things since watching you, and I haven't broke any taps, dies, drill bits in a while now!
Keep up the work and positive attitude. Love all the tips. I do maintenance machining so I might go 3 months between jobs. Your videos keeps me on my toes. Im 6'5 315lbs. Gotta take care of your back man.
I must admit, I only clicked on this because I wanted to find out what a knuckle boom pin boss was. But I stayed for the great machining. cheers from a musical instrument maker in Vienna, Scott
Adam your presentation gets better and better. You explain and show everything fully without including repetitive footage. An excellent teacher. Thank you.
Good machining project. Great job sharing your thought process. Loved being able to see the finished project. That really puts it in perspective. Keep it up.
Thanks for this mini series, Adam. I appreciate you discussing the setups and why you do it in a certain way. The end footage was useful so we can put it all in context. Howie has a steady hand for sure. Mart in the UK.
Enjoyed this series on the pin repair for the loader. Your explanation on the installation /Removal of the Skyhook eased my mind, I thought it was much heavier than it actually is. I was medically retired at 57 after an accident at home that fractured and crushed a vertebrae in my back, so I am very sensitive when I see someone lifting things. I applaud your use of the Skyhook and any other device that can lessen the load, or remove the stress of lifting things in the machine shop. Be Careful and Stay Safe. Bob
Hey Adam - SNS 337 Parts 1-2 absolutely brilliant! What appears to be a simple matter, often goes so wrong because of a lack of training, knowledge and experience. As usual you smashed it fantastically. The follow up video at the engineering shop was great and so to the voice over. Sometimes the simplest of things really test a persons resolve. Great work dude👍
Great display of skill and detailed instruction on indicating in a 4 jaw chuck. I can really see how versatile it is. I enjoyed seeing the footage of the knuckle being installed, nice to see where those parts are going!
I really like your basics videos. It is OK that you have covered them before because each time you explain them a bit differently pointing out details to pay attention to. I would really like to see a short video about how to hand file and how to de-burr. Maybe 5 minutes. Filing and de-burring seem simple, drag the file across the part. But there is skill in how you hold the file and feeling the edge or surface you are filing. Same thing with de-burring. Keep up the great videos!
I did the same thing with an excavator stick. I believe it was Keith Fenner that machined the tube for me. I must have used at least 35 pounds of 7018 and 1/2 inch plate to repair that stick. Bent and cracked it was.
Go back to the start of Adam's videos. He was working at a shop making shafts larger than anything Kurtis has shown. Love CEE, but they have a long way to go to compare to the amount of knowledge shared by Adam on this channel.
When I was using my tool post grinder, I used a screw out of the metal box. It was dripping with oil. It produced a beautiful finish on a friends boring tool. He got one oversized. I had to hold it twice and that was tricky - being a novice and low use since a Junior high working at home shop. The second half of the shaft was without oil - and the finish quality was poorer than oil finish. It had pits and such it was smooth I could drag a steel rule across the round and across the line. No telling if there were a edge was.
At least it was a nice straightforward 'Hey Mate' job... Everytime I get one, it's were a mate has broken something and either a job no-one wants to touch or to expensive to get done by anyone else.. lol
Damn Adam, your videos are so zenful but at the same time like crack. I sat down to watch 1 video and the next thing I know I binged watched like 6 hours of all your content. Now, I have the strange urge to buy a lathe even though I don't know what I would do with it.
Agreed on the "hard on their machines". Those trash trucks get a beating every day as the hydraulic booms move rather fast and over jerk the materials they are connected to, more than necessary but that's how they put them together. Sure glad our neighborhood doesn't use those proprietary trash cans for those auto arm trucks. The bins are expensive and have to be placed on the street just right or they cannot pick them up plus types of trash is limited per truck. Kind of puts some of the burden on the customer to make the automation work when compared to a typical trash can. I wonder if a bearing and race would make those pivot points last longer.
17:20 seeing some beautiful chips coming out (@@) Great video, and your shop, Joe Pie's, TOT, BlondiHacks, Titan of CNC, ect., motivated last wk to clean up our shop and get organized. Thx, great videoing as well,,,Bear.
I gotta say I love Abom's discipline with the chuck key. While not a machinist, I am fastidious about where I set my tools down because I have wasted several lifetimes saying 'where did I just put that sombitch?' and at s9me point I got tired of it. 👍😆
I'm really kind of surprised Adam hasn't made his own work-holding vice for the Mill.. With Adam's precision and tools, he could make a /really/ nice and precise vise, and build it a fait bit stronger than what's available commercially.. Also, be a good multi-part series to do :D
Keep up the good work. Ian's comment below is very relevant. I was watching your video with Aby and you were at 135, 000 and now you are at nearly 500, 000! Yor videos appeal to "everyman" Paul Scotland
Now that you made such a nice looking hinge, i hope the welder plugged the threaded hole after he had to remove the grease fitting to avoid damage to the threads by weld spatter.
@@stargazer7644 That is a pity, the small springs inside the grease fitting will loose their tension due to the heat, so the grease will come out through the fitting as the “non return” function will No longer work😏

Hey Adam, thanks for taking the time to show us what happens to the job when it leaves your workshop. Defiantly adds to the big picture.
Saturday night special thanks Adam 👍
It's lovely hearing birds tweeting in the background when the machine's stopped as well.

I love that RUclips can help people keep their minds sharp instead of just watching crappy tv.
Great watching old fashion machine work being done the way I learned it back in the 60s as an apprentice. Still have my tapping spring too. Keep going.
There's just something so satisfying watching your work being installed for use..
Great work mate, Thanks for the ending!

Adam, thank you for sharing and posting this. This is like the original Rotary Welding Table footage, and instruction, that hooked me years ago. Nice to see Joe's guys at the welding shop too.
I'll bet the welder was quite happy to have a nice surface to get his initial welds in place from those running lands you cleaned up
Abom, it is always great to get a refresher on the indicating setups, Thanks.
You do realize that from now on I expect every Part 2 to be uploaded within 30 min of Part 1 lol.

Awesome as always Adam, never think you are boring the viewers with longer videos, trust me, you`re not 👍
15:37 I love how he said "I'm not gonna bore you " on the second bore
He better be boring the part ;)
I like jobs like this, that is, jobs for real machines and not make work for youtubers.
Adam your presentation gets better and better. You explain and show everything fully without including repetitive footage. An excellent teacher. Thank you.
Thanks for including the boom assembly portion, put the part in context. I couldn’t visualize what this was/how it fit.
Adam, thank you for sharing your thoughts/thinking process as you do projects like this!
Love the sky hook, took me until almost 30 to learn use what you have to work smarter so you don't wake up sore the next day
Two from Adam in one evening (or is it for him?) - he's just too kind to us :-)
Love it. Don't apologize if you can't get a final shot, it's awesome to see the application but your work machining it is the most important. 👍
Thanks for sharing Adam. Enjoyed the project and learned somethings too.
Good machining project. Great job sharing your thought process. Loved being able to see the finished project. That really puts it in perspective. Keep it up.
Good couple of videos.
Reminding us of the basics.
Well done.
And I got to smile twice at the Booth trio at the end.
Thanks.
Thanks for this mini series, Adam. I appreciate you discussing the setups and why you do it in a certain way. The end footage was useful so we can put it all in context. Howie has a steady hand for sure. Mart in the UK.
"...boring it halfway... so i'm not gonna 'bore' you..." I see what you did there Adam.
Awesome job and loved seeing your work making it into service- that's what its all about!

Thank you for showing where this part is going in action. I love that. 😃
Great to see the follow up Adam .. must be incredibly satisfying to see the parts you have made installed and doing the job they are meant for
Nice to see the end product

22:10 cool tip for making sure the tap goes in straight 👍
Thank you Adam I always enjoy watching your videos and learning from you I am from South Africa
im a kid in the uk with my only knowledge of machining from videos like yours. Still love the videos and find them pretty interesting so thanks
Too quick to comment..... Nice to see guys repairing, not throwing away and buying new.
I did the same thing with an excavator stick. I believe it was Keith Fenner that machined the tube for me. I must have used at least 35 pounds of 7018 and 1/2 inch plate to repair that stick. Bent and cracked it was.
Nice to see where the part was destined for... It helps put job into context... Thank you...
Any device that can help one save their health, is a godsent. Save your back, not worth to destroy it.
Yup!! It may not be super heavy...but the extension is all ya need to have a bad day... I’m paying my dues.
And knees, if I remember correctly he has had knee problems. I hope they are gone now.
I love watching your approach to problem solving. . .
Always nice to see a part get installed !
I’m a novice and I learn from your videos!
I can’t help but compare this channel to cutting edge engineering out of Australia. What am I missing, CEE has really big machines
Go back to the start of Adam's videos. He was working at a shop making shafts larger than anything Kurtis has shown. Love CEE, but they have a long way to go to compare to the amount of knowledge shared by Adam on this channel.
You’ve taught me so much! Thank you brother!
Change of format by Adam and two great videos this week, thank you.
Thanks again...Adam...!
Love that sky hook, certainly relieves back pain I'm sure.
Thanks for e tip on the snap gauge. Mic tension just enough to hold the snap gauge.
That's too much !
The first sense of friction is the correct amount. Same amount as you get when testing the mic on a standard !
When I was using my tool post grinder, I used a screw out of the metal box. It was dripping with oil. It produced a beautiful finish on a friends boring tool. He got one oversized. I had to hold it twice and that was tricky - being a novice and low use since a Junior high working at home shop. The second half of the shaft was without oil - and the finish quality was poorer than oil finish. It had pits and such it was smooth I could drag a steel rule across the round and across the line. No telling if there were a edge was.
Enjoying every show you upload.
Good Stuff Abom
Another fine job by Booth Machine Shop. Like the hat.
At least it was a nice straightforward 'Hey Mate' job...
Everytime I get one, it's were a mate has broken something and either a job no-one wants to touch or to expensive to get done by anyone else.. lol
Great video. Nice work. Thank you for sharing.
Adam you should considering lecturing , you are very good at explaining
Damn Adam, your videos are so zenful but at the same time like crack. I sat down to watch 1 video and the next thing I know I binged watched like 6 hours of all your content.
Now, I have the strange urge to buy a lathe even though I don't know what I would do with it.
I've got three on ebay watch list as we speak, I have no space and the wrong power but.....
@@regmigrant Yeah... I don't think my landlord would like a lathe in their apartment.
Great work, great video. Big work, big boys, big tools. Absolutely no garbage, nothing for the trash bin.... Hard to copy on a mini lathe....
Very good Saturday night vid, always
Now you have repeat business, except your fix will last a lot longer.😎
Best wishes from the far North.
Once again great teaching job
One way I found to prevent the chips from building up on the boring bar is to take your final past feeding from the inside out.
I love that machine it's so quite.....
Awesome job as usual!!!!!
Learning to much with you Adam, Back to machine shop school!

I had to smile and think of a big hook to set the small one down ^^
That sky hook saves back's I would do the same, Adam.
Again nice latch cutting.
Bored, and satisfied viewer ;)
Congratulation Adam loved your job whatching in Curitiba city .
Sweet!!! Thanks for sharing!
It might be simple, basic stuff but we still love to watch it. 😀 Great video man
Like my daily Job, Turning the OD of the Tube, bring it to length, bore it to Size. Nice One Adam^^
You are not boring.
Thanks for sharing. This is some interesting stuff!
Como sempre trabalho perfeito muito bem detalhado!!!E com certeza cliente satisfeito!!!
Atenciosamente João Carlos - Brasil
My favorite kind of work. Low stress.
Part 2!! Settled in !!Enjoying !!
I gotta say I love Abom's discipline with the chuck key. While not a machinist, I am fastidious about where I set my tools down because I have wasted several lifetimes saying 'where did I just put that sombitch?' and at s9me point I got tired of it. 👍😆
With you on that one. I made an abom style holder for the chuck keys that sits on top of the headstock. Fun little job.
I'm really kind of surprised Adam hasn't made his own work-holding vice for the Mill.. With Adam's precision and tools, he could make a /really/ nice and precise vise, and build it a fait bit stronger than what's available commercially..
Also, be a good multi-part series to do :D
You could make a sky hook hook on the ceiling and crank it up.
Adam has long said he would love a ceiling crane he could run the length of the shop, but I think he may need a new shop first
Great work...as usual.
Thanks Adam!
