Good to see you back. I justed finished restoring a 7b and used some the things I learned from your restoration. Good luck getting your new shop in shape. Looking forward to more videos. Merry Christmas to you and your family.
Great to see you back with a new video. Looking forward to the others. Recently performed my first milling operation, so I've finally started my own journey. 'Bout time. 😁
Very interesting, that came out great. Looking forward to next videos. Thanks for sharing. That was cute message from your boys. Touching to hear them express their love for you.. I think you must return the prank. hmmm What could that be.... :)
@@DK-vx1zc The prank was them taking my camera and filming themselves promoting their channel on my my shop camera. And doing the self promotion that I won’t do….
It's nice to see you're experimenting a bit with different cutting tools. There is a lot to learn from it. Just one little tip. Your shaper was feeding on the cutting stroke. It should feed on the return stroke. And don't worry, your sons are perfectly normal :)
Thank you so much! I thought I had it timed to advance on the back stroke, but I will make sure it does. Yes, my boys got me and I love it. Thank you again and Merry Christmas…..
I really like the shaper videos and stories. I have the same Atlas 7B shaper but with a now factory vise. My suggestion would be to get the belt guard for the motor to countershaft pulley. It allows you to use the clutch lever to leave the motor running and start and stop the ram instead of having to use the on off switch all the time. You can then also stop it where you want it. Without the motor belt guard the ram keeps moving even when releasing the tension on the belt with the clutch lever. With a motor belt guard installed, when the tension is released the guard keeps the belt oval shaped so that it no longer rides on the motor pulley and then the ram stops moving. It’s a bit counterintuitive but the motor belt guard is an integral part of the clutch operation.
Thank you so much! I really want to get guards for my shaper, but they are crazy expensive. Someday I hope to find them in a flee market so I can afford them. I’ll keep looking and thank you again…..
Really enjoy the airplane stories. You may want to try using a sulfur based oil when machining steel. That's what I use and it makes quite a difference on the finish.
The hospitals had to start doing the same thing during surgery. First, they had to keep a strict inventory of all the tools counting them prior to surgery and post surgery but after sponges causes Rex being left in patients now they have to count everything that’s being used prior to surgery and post surgery.
Absolutely! I was in the O.R. for both of my sons being born to C-sections. They counted everything. They did the same with tools and everything needed for and engine overhaul. And thank you very much.....
Great video. We have the same shop set up. I have a Southbend 9A, and an Atlas shaper and horizontal mill. One question, did you consider cross hatching the jaws using the shaper to improve the grip of the jaws?
That's so cool! Yes, I did consider cross hatching the jaws. I plan on making another set of jaws that do have that feature. And thank you very much.....
The new procedure is just like in an operating room. They have to count all sponges, implements, syringes and needles. Too many lawyers were getting rich. Which random bros, there are several?
So true! I was in the operating room for the birth of both sons. And you are so right. They count everything! Thank you so much and that is my son that replied to you.......
Shaper turned out nice. Enjoy the stories!
Thank you very much.....
Your atlas shaper turned out amazing!
Thank you so much!!
Enjoyed, like hearing the stories. Glad to see you back on the Tube. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.
Thank you so much! And Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and yours....
Nice project! Seems a lot of projects lead to other projects and on and on it goes.
So true! And thank you very much.....
You got that right. I'm trying to get my shop reorganized and side projects keep side tracking me.
@@Bargle5 Absolutely!

LOL! I am blessed to have a wonderful family and I do have to prank my boys somehow! And thank you so much.....

Sulfur based oil, huh? I have some of that and will give it a shot. Thank you so much.....
To be honest we forgot we did that 😂 Love you dad😉
That was really good! Thank you for the laugh and I love you too 😬

Can you still call yourself a journeyman. It was nice to see your kids. Merry Christmas my friend.
I'm still such an apprentice, LOL! And thank you so much and Merry Christmas to you and yours.....
For mill scale, you can easily remove it with some muriatic acid (acid used for cleaning concrete). It will fizz right off.
Excellent! I will keep that in mind next time. I think I'll try vinegar first. And thank you very much.....

If you round off the cutting tool it will leave a mirror finish make it look like the end of your finger
Thank you so much! I did try that and you are correct!

Haha this channel is the right one! Thanks for supporting our dad haha!
