i know you probably dig your new logo, but I got to tell you the old one is far better. my 2 cents
Agreed
But look at the bright side, we got another cool video from Adam.😉
I also agree
I agree
I like the older traditional logo better ☺️. Nice video Adam!
agree, i think the current logo is better. New logo reminds me of skater sticker logos.
Very Nice Adam.... love the new CNC equipment and the work you're doing on it! Congrats Sir !
I second Steve. What work was actually done here?
Pretty awesome Abom. Can't wait to get my CNC machine up and running.
It would probably look really good with a light bead blasting afterwards just to smooth out the machining marks.
Sorry, but as a long time viewer, I don’t particularly care for your new logo. I think the other one was much more appropriate, sorry But that’s the way I feel
Going from your old shop and machinery to this new shop with these state of the art CNC and such, amazing work you produce... This what it looks like when you take pride in your work!!!
i like your new logo....modern and cnc style
Exactly what I need after a long day working! an Abom video to come home to and enjoy!
An Abom79 video and a beverage. LoL
Thank you for taking us along for the process of not only making this piece but also the way that you set the machine up... I have to say that I find the machine that makes these parts just as fascinating as the process of making the parts... incredible all around, I had no idea about the shrink to fit and how that all happens... just a great and enjoyable way to spend some time on a Saturday watching you in the shop.
Some Rain-x and a light breeze of compressed air across the camera shield would work great, I think.
That new logo reminds me of the Acerbis logo, but it's quite nice.
Thx for showing!
👍👍👍
You should try blowing compressed air on the shield Infront of the camera to help keep it clear as it gets sprayed
maybe some rain-x too to help the water bead up and blow away cleaner
The spinning circular window like on a Haas is the way to go
Either that or get Peter @EdgePrecision to make him one of his anti-coolant camera boxes. 👍
I remember the old days with just you and Stella in the old single bay. Pretty cool getting to watch your progress and learning curve into new tech.
that is really nice! great job yet again!!
JUST AMAZING
Great Job - looks great! One suggestion - make another with the H/W ratio at 10 to 19. This is the regulation aspect ratio of the US Flag.
You're sure crossing all those T's and dotting all those I's
10-19 is binding only for certain military uses.
Anyone else can do as they wish.
Of course it's the national flag and moreso the majority of Americans are the best in honouring the service personnel (military/law enforcement etc etc) as well as the Stars & Stripes and the national anthem.... *far better and much prouder than us British* - so I get the comment - if like me you're ex military - but don't get it if you're just nitpicking.
^Yes I crossed those T's and dotted those I's with greater accuracy ABOM79 would be proud of^
@@philhunt9297 I _did_ look it up because I was curious to what the actual specs were - no criticism directed at Adam whatsoever - the piece looks great
@@joeylawn36111 My British sarcasm ^up there^ - except the knowledge and respect of patriotic Americans for the military, the flag and the anthem....to that I salute those Americans.....respect
@@philhunt9297 Love the British! My dad was in the US Air Force and spoke well of British bases he served at during his career.
@@joeylawn36111 Thank you for the reciprocated respect - I doubt your dad, unfortunately, would have the same consideration with today's British citizens.
Yes military (US) to military (UK) there's a mahussive bond and respect but outside in civvy street - let's just say we aren't all British patriotically!
I like your new logo - much cleaner, sleeker than the old one. I was always confused by the special micrometer that had two angled cuts for attaching to the frame.
Digging the new logo and project I remember going with my father up to that tool show in Chicago when I was a kid I remember one year we went in I'm back out after walking around doing stopping it was 6 inches of snow on the ground
Old Glory with the new logo looks fantastic
That was some fancy camera work while using the heat shrink machine. Nice job!
Nice finish for such a big machine.
I have enjoyed your videos and the education I have benefited from your explanations. I am commenting to thank you for embedding the text that explains operations and less stoppage with voice overs
Well planned and executed,Adam.Thank you.
adding the acoustic music is a great addition, thanks!
Really cool getting to see that massive CNC in action!
Glad you’re having fun with your new machines, can only imagine they weren’t cheap
Nice. Loving the new logo. Maybe should have made an undercut slot in the back for hanging before machining the front 🙂 ?
Cool to see the flex make something so small in comparison to the L channel and shafts from before. Truly a very flexible machine.
Excellent project. I agree that the coolant makes viewing difficult. Maybe consider adding a stream of air before the polycarbonate protector to reduce the splash? This would also be a great project to powder coat if that is possible. It would take another final cleanoff pass, by it would really pop. Thanks and I commend the FLEX folks for creating the programming.
Fabtech was excellent. I went to the Atlanta show a few years back and saw Adam and Abby, Keith Rucker, and others! Like meeting royalty. The show is a must see for the hobbyist to the professional.
I'd buy one of those. Cool to figure out a way to anodize the flag red, white, and blue.
Youre not the only one. Sweet looking Adam!!!
Man, I would have liked to see more of the setup of the tools (offsets) and the programming!
CNC has come a long way from the 1970's when I was in college and programing a milling machining without circular interpolation. I went on to become an Engineer instead of a machinist. I do operate a lathe and milling machine at home now.
You can now color the Flag with blue and red markers.
Like the new logo. Also might be interested in buying one if you decide to make a few more
My Granddad was a Lockheed Machinist back in the '40s (when it was Bell Aircraft in Marietta). He made Instrument Panels for B-29 Bombers. As a Mechanical Engineer (now retired) I appreciate manual machining AND the new stuff! I've made a several hundred pounds of chips in my working career!
Maybe consider a small air jet on the lens, and/or maybe even an air curtain in front of the camera.
As a graphic artist…I think your logo looks awesome.. well done👍👍👍👍
My compliments Adam Proof you CAN teach an old dog new tricks. Thing is, you have an edge on any average CNC jokey being a 3rd generation machinist of the old school with a good understanding of metals. tools, inspection. Always a pleasure too watch to as you are a damn good cinematographer.
Changing your logo is like being a brewer and changing a very successful recipe.
Looks great. Maybe you might think about filling in the recess with red paint and blue paint around the stars?
I had to watch just to see the new logo, sorry I like the old one better. I keep trying to get fired up about CNC, just can't seem to get there.
I like the new logo. Reminds me of NASA!
A really great looking piece. Your new logo works very well. Your old logo is still a fan favorite, but this one looks great. Now you have 2 to choose from. Your original would be very small on something like this or full size, just to big. This is perfect for this piece and where you have it. Nice job using your CNC machines.
Great video in making that piece of art....I am curious how many lines of code is needed to machine those stars....I am not a cnc machinist..... thx
Nice work you are getting much better at programning, congrats. Your videos have always been execptional. I would for vain reasons even though costly have the extra flag for my office spot anodized in correct colors and white ceramic coating creating a flag in color. Ray
That turned out great, you should trying reversing the cut so it has raised stars and white stripes then fill in the blue & red areas with red & blue epoxy 😁
ADAM YOU HAVE COME A LONG, I AM PROUD OF YOU. ----THE CLOCK MAN✌✌👍👍🏁🏁
Super clean R I seen sitting there. I'm a tri z kinda guy but I can always appreciate a honda lol. Excellent work sir
Adam, I love that video! USA all the way! You do need to look at making some more and sell them! I bet you would sell a lot of them. What do you thing they would cost to do?
I’m an old millwright, so I’m assuming that heating them up with a rosebud and cooling it down with a 5gal cylinder of Freon is over? lol
I run a older flatbed router for a sign company, and when we do that type of Machining it is always very satisfied.
Good job 😊
It looks great. I think it would also look good with a translucent paint job.
Looks great. Thanks for the video.
The flag should never be displayed with any other image. If a 'manufactured by' logo is required, it should be on the back.
I wonder how the flex compares to the milltronics mill for everyday use and if having both mills is worth it?
I like your first logo Adam. I’m sure we can get used to the new one.
Now it would be cool if you used the old logo on a touchmark to mark all the manual parts and CNC engrave all the new logos on cnc stuff!
Abom, The tool changing door,, You need to put something there on the door,,a face, something scary or funny,or comments of sort. Great Vid Adam..
YOU SIR are the ABom! (79) 😅 Totally enjoy watching every bit of your content.
Amazing how quickly the change out of the end mills and drill bit is.
The old logo was your brand. The new logo could be everyone. Just my 2 ct. Btw. if you use the new logo, i would line it up with the lower end from the stripe, i htink thet would look better 🙂
GGOD STUFF! That came out great man. As far as the new logo...I LIKES!👍
New logo? Why would you fiddle with something that's a classic? Oh well, I'm sure you had your reasons. I still like the classic logo better. Thanks for sharing, Adam.
Looks good thanks for sharing
I applaud you for not buying 2 Lamborghinis and retiring and instead buying this beast of a machine.
You really think he bought this.....
@@lesleyboeder1798 Well a machine like this costs more than an average house so Yes it certainly wasn’t given to him.
@@KZ-yy9pm entry level material, far from the price of a lambo, and for sure not paid for...
@@lesleyboeder1798 So you know I can see how many times you commented on this page and see examples of those comments. I’m new to this channel. I’m not sure if you are disgruntled because it seems (based on comment from other vids) the channel went in a new direction or because a new shop and new machines makes you feel salty. I get if the quality of vids have gone completely downhill but NO COMPANY is handing out free units. Maybe if you have a couple million followers you can get a bantam desktop lol. Maybe he got a good 3-5% discount? I’m very new to the channel and can admit the vids I watched weren’t exactly the best content I’ve watched but it’s pretty simple if you and others don’t like the content just stop watching, TBH I prob won’t watch much more unless I start seeing some very different content.
The star student of Flex C&C Adam 👍👏👏👏👏👌🍺🍺
Lap the flag face to a mirror and send it out for color anodizing! Love the new logo too.
I like the new logo. Looks great!
what ya think do the stars in the old style logo be one off
Amazing CNC machine
Edge precision made a go pro housing that is awesome. It has a vent built into it with compressed air that blows coolant off of the camera lens. Titans of CNC made an American flag and use their grinder with a very deep depth of grind to create flag-waving design.
@ 10:49 Your vice looks mean!
But, that planar method is only for multi cut rough planing.
The risk is that this alternating climb conventional method is
making ridges. At least in steel, with long tools. :)
Flag looks awesome
new logo looks bad
Hi Adam. You could try a bit of rainx on the camera lens or protective glass for the camera to see if it makes the visibility better
Way cool.
Hmmm, I wonder if all the induction heating if those tool holders will anneal them?
Really love watching the precision work you turn out and the most helpful tips you give to people. As I come from Australia have you ever watched any sites from here? If not please try Cutting Edge Engineering Australia to see some local action. Keep up those great Saturday night schedules.
Kurtis is a true machinist. Abom is not in the same league by half.
@@jerrylondon2388do you really take time out of your day to color your hair purple? Oh hell yes you do. Hahahaha!!!!!
@wolffengineering7038 Well, it's true Abom fanboys are all 6 year old little boys explains a lot. BTW he's now on the CRC payroll. Doing actual commercials now. Yet still no sponsors. Still on the grift.
I saw somewhere that one can put a nozzle blowing air at camera lens to clear it from liquid and debree.
To be honest. I like the mike logo better.
Lovely engineering Adam, well done.
That is just ultra cool.
Nice and clean simple logo.
❤ I like it.
If you are going to the show in the murder capital be sure to wear your bulletproof vests!
I like the new logo, nice clean look and easy to read. The plaque is a good demonstration of the flex machine's capabilities. I hope you can find suitable lighting to display it. In the video the rapidly changing reflections were distracting.
As always you put out excellent videos and work.
Awesome work!
I thought the USA had a flag code where you couldn’t use the flag for advertising?
Title 4 United States Code Chapter 1 Paragraph 3
I do enjoy these videos… but… I don’t learn anything useful to me. I appreciate that Adam needs these capabilities, but watching these machines run just doesn’t do it for me. I’m very happy he still does videos with the manual machines.
Abom you should make a bunch of these and sell them on your merch site. youd make a killin
Nice work Adam, when i was watching the footage from machining an idea came through my mind. Could you get a stream of compressed air blowing on the lens of the camera? It might help with removing coolant.
Absolutely LOVE the new logo!
Thanks for sharing 👍
Adam, did you do the programming on this? Seems above “apprentice cnc operator” level.
I want one with crosses instead of the stars.
How about an air nozzle to blow low airflow on the lens. idea for you
I'd go for that - It would look pretty nice on my toolbox
Really nice finish on that workpiece
That new logo needs a little more getting used to I think, the old logo was pretty nice but I get your concern with the odd shape.
That so sick i want one
Adam who says USA flag?... You know darn good and well that's the American flag... Or as I like to call Merican flag😂😂😂
