Imagine the sounds of a 100 shapers on a line shaft back in the early 1900's all working together. Probably hear it from down the block....lol, Excellent work! That something to truly be proud of! Thanks for the video
Adom, I have done a fair amount of welding, blacksmithing, and machining, but I always learn something from you. You have way more machines and tooling than I ever had, in several shops, too. You always have something going on there. Thanks for sharing your knowledge and professionalism.
An amazing demonstration of how so many tools contributed to the end result. I have watched every episode of the G&E shaper. What a versatile machine. It just gets better and better!
Hey Adam, I haven't long been a subscriber and don't know how I didn't find your chanel sooner! Made my night seeing a drill bit sharpened the good old fashioned way 👍 I spent hundreds of hours in front on a grinder as a teenager learning how to sharpen drill bits and other tools and learned to put many different grinds on them as per the application and material. All I seem to see now is people using grinding jigs and cam driven drill grinders. Love what you do and admire how thorough you are with your work which itself speaks for your talent and ability. Keep up the fantastic work and the great content, all the best from across the pond in England 👍
Awesome! I'm in Elec/Mech industrial Maint. and I've always been amazed at the stuff the machinist can crank out and I'm glad I finally started my machining classes can't wait to build up to that skill level. Been a fan of your channel for about two years and I have to thank you for all the awesome videos you post, again thank you.
"Despite not having an automatic filing machine I was able to do it by hand". Priceless. Next time finish that statement with a TOT sneer! You are awesome. Thanks!
Absolute precision! Your metal work, video production, and explanation is exceptional and your videos are worthy of never clicking the fast forward arrow. Keep them coming! Thank you Adam!
Abom your videos are always great to watch but personally I feel this is one of the most visually satisfying videos you have put out in quite some time. Keep up the good work!!!
I cant put a finger to whats different but i can not sit and watch other machinist videos but yours Adam are great. Ive been watching/learning from your channel for several years now and will soon finally have my first lathe! Thank you
phipswelds. Watching you work in the shop reminds me of WW11 when I helped my Grandfather in his shop after school hrs. and weekends. He built a shutter system to black out the shop windows at night so he could run a night shift. he had Gov. contracts for the war dept.He employed 15 machinist & 8 woman semi-skilled shop help.He also had his own aluminum foundry. Thank You for the great videos.
That nut could easily pass for an objet d'art. At least for me, I'd gladly have that on display, and I'm not a machinist. But, I certainly appreciate fine craftsmanship.
I enjoy watching your lathe work so much and it brings such good memories back to me. I spent many years working on lathes in the companies I worked for, Koering-Waterous and Dominion Bridge in Canada, where I ran Lathes, boring mills and, at Koehring, an old timer called a Herbert turret lathe. I thoroughly enjoyed the work.
Nice job Adam as usual!! I have one suggestion for you, would it be good to cut two flat on the bar close from the nut to be able to hold the bar with a wrench while tightening the nut to prevent the bar from turning when you adjust the cutter angle?? Just an opinion here but i think it would be practical for you. Thanks Adam
So excited to have you at the museum! This is going to be Epic! Thanks for all that you do for all of us. We really appreciate you passing on your knowledge.
I wish I had a drill drawer like that. When you see the "twins" coming out of the flutes, you know it's good. A better drill than you thought. You just had to get in some shaper work. LOL I love watching that big boy make chips. That is a good looking nut. Great work Adam. 'Til next time.
Playing along at home and at 18:00, when Adam said, "I gotta bring this down 3/16" of an inch", who else said out loud at the same time as Adam, "We're gonna use the shaper."
Little trick I was taught about threads if they are too tight... put in some valve grinding compound.. will polish the threads for smoother operation and give you a little slight more clearance and info an old timer gave me...
The 6 jaw chuck seems to be working very well for you. I'm always amazed at the finishes you get on your work. I've made some big nuts while working at the shipyard, but it was mostly hot rolled and the finishes even with some emery cloth never seemed a smooth and shiny as yours.
I have to say this. I don't know squat about machining but I find your videos fascinating. You attention to detail and mastery of your work is a wonder to watch.
Hey Abom why don't you put a little finishing touch on that nut with some of that tool blue compound you got to stop it from flash rusting seen as it will be handled a lot with bare hands? It would be a shame to see it have rusty fingerprints on it seen as you did such a nice job machining it shiny and smooth. P.S I can't wait to see you put this bad boy to work.
I think I enjoy watching you indicate the materials more than the machining itself. The time you take, and the effort you put into getting the work piece correctly set up in the chuck is always fascinating to watch. Simple, but fascinating. Love these vids. I’m not a machinist, never will be, but I can appreciate it.
As a layman that knows nothing about metallurgy..I’m always amazed how steel cuts steel. Plus, I’m in awe of the precision of these machines...and of course, your workmanship.
Wow. That victor lathe with the 6 jaw chuck is identical to the lathe I cut my teeth on. Brings back fond memories. Keep up the good work. Always nice to see classically trained machinist at work.
The first vid i watched on your channel was because of the guys putting down some concrete. Then i found you doing the stuff i find just fasinating. Been watching ever since. Good job ABOM .
I am really liking your videos. I was a master mold maker for 35 years. Had to retire for medical reasons. Watching you vids kinda makes me feel still a part of the machining world. Thanks
For some reason, I really enjoyed this video more than some of the others. I really like to see how things like this are handled and a beautiful end product. Keep it up!!
Nice job on sharpening that 2 in. dia. drill. I enjoy watching your channel...it brings back many good memories of the 35 years that I worked in the machine tool industry. Keep the videos coming. You are doing a great job.
Pretty interesting stuff you do for sure. My dad was a Machinist at General Electric for 44 years and my uncle (his brother) was a Tool & Die Marker at Pass and Seymour for about 40 years. Both retired now. The stuff they would make and/or repair was amazing.
Yeah sharpening drills is a skill I have yet to master. If the drill isn't real bad I can get it sharp, but there's them days i can't seam to get a certain drill sharp enough to cut wood. I seem to toss them in a can and let sit. I wonder if the twist rate is different than what I'm used to. But if the drill looks like Ave used it in that cryobi mill in some dare to purposely wreck a bit, ehhh I'll have to try n get some pics of the drills I found in the shop hiding out in the corners and under presses,. 1 looks like someone ran it backwards at Sonic speeds to do some spot welding on A2 treated n tempered steel.
I've seen a few videos on drill sharpening.You've got a good steady hand and do it well.You are a fine craftsman and machinist.You seem to be a humble man and I admire you
Haha that sly reference to Tony's filing machine made me laugh. Your cameo in his video on it was hilarious, especially the part where he makes a comment about shapers and it cuts to a clip of you! That part made my night haha
![Noob To Max With DRAGON REWORK In Blox Fruits [FULL MOVIE]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/LnBMOinoOvA/mqdefault.jpg)
filing by hand? barbaric! ;)
Man! Still going after him? Don't beat him while he's down ;)
mount the file in the shaper :)
LOL!!!!!! Yeah...he needs one of them fan dangly automatic ones with the foot pedal like you have huh :P
I’ll one up you and make a 32” stroke automatic filer 😁
@@Abom79 it's not the size of your file that matters, but how you stroke it 😂
Nothing more satisfying than building your own tools...Your pride shows in the finished product,,,,, Well done.
Imagine the sounds of a 100 shapers on a line shaft back in the early 1900's all working together. Probably hear it from down the block....lol, Excellent work! That something to truly be proud of! Thanks for the video
Duncan MacKenzie, that would the the best Metal band in history.!.!.!.
Can't see Adam using a file now without thinking of This Old Tony
Very nice! That nut looks so well made that it could be used as a trophy or an award of some type. All it needs is some fancy engraving.
123Shel12, Abom style.!.!.!.
That nut is a flawless work of art! Thanks Adam.
That might be the most beautiful nut ever made.
Man, that final assembly procedure was sweet! Beautiful tolerances.
And I always love the shaper sound.
Thanks.

I love the quality of the shaper's work, it makes really nice clean cuts.
Absolute precision! Your metal work, video production, and explanation is exceptional and your videos are worthy of never clicking the fast forward arrow. Keep them coming!

Thanks Vic, and hope you find that lathe soon. 👍🏻
Your making grandpa and dad proud, fit and finish is superb! Thanks for setting the bar to a high standard on your projects.
adam just have to thank you for a nice video just love seeing someone working metal like this.
it always amazes me as to how much work goes into something that we consider very simple. turned out great, and your shaper is a gorgeous machine.
You can tell a when someone is an amazing master machinist when his work looks like jewelry and works of art! Fantastic work, as always, Abom!
"I'm just going to face the nut"... and turns out almost a mirror finish without even pause for thought! Outstanding!
Another great video Abom. Really enjoyed the drill grinding, nice work!
phipswelds. Watching you work in the shop reminds me of WW11 when I helped my Grandfather in his shop after school hrs. and weekends.

Sweet job. Watching that shaper at work is savage. Such power.
That came out absolutely EXCELLENT!
Course I wouldn't expect anything less from a Professional like you buddy!!!
GREAT JOB Adam!
Thanks Razor!
That nut reflects light as a diamond does. Great project.
Again. Great work Adam. Good to see people taking pride in their work. It always stands out a mile going the extra mile. Cheers
Turned out awesome Adam, enjoyed the attention to detail on this.
From the uk here, sadly craftsmen like yourself are getting very rare , great to watch
That nut could easily pass for an objet d'art. At least for me, I'd gladly have that on display, and I'm not a machinist. But, I certainly appreciate fine craftsmanship.
That is a beautiful piece. Something to be proud off. Thank you for showing how you make the tool.
Hahaha the shot at This Old Tony for the dye filer. Love this back and forth you two have going it's hilarious.
Hi Adam,
Beautiful work on the Nut job, lol.
Thank you for sharing and I look forward to seeing the shaper in action on some bore work.
Cheers,
Craig
Today I watched a man make a nut - not just any nut, but a work of art.
I had a job lined up as a machinists apprentice when I was 16. I never showed up... you make me regret that decision. Beautiful work, man.
My new Dake sure would have been handy for pushing that broach! Shouldn't be a lot of flex in that nice beefy bar. :-) I look forward to it in action.
Yea I wish I had my electric press wired up but have not gotten to it yet.
I enjoy watching your lathe work so much and it brings such good memories back to me.

Gorgeous work as always Abom! Love watching you make chips!
Spectacular series ripe with beautiful machining, content, & storytelling!
Nice job Adam as usual!!

I'm looking forward to my time up there Justin!
Now that is a good looking nut. Cant buy something off the shelf that looks like that. Very nice job Mr. Adam.
Very nice job. Love the way you improvise to make it all work. That's a sign of a very good machinist. Love your work
Nailed that grind the first time!
ATB, Robin

Machining is my outlet to relieve stress. Thanks for the awesome and relaxing video.
Nice work. The G&E earned it's keep cutting the Kennemetal tool. That is some tough material. Jeff
That new little 6-jaw stops on a dime when you stomp on the brake! Nice work, Adam.
Little trick I was taught about threads if they are too tight... put in some valve grinding compound.. will polish the threads for smoother operation and give you a little slight more clearance and info an old timer gave me...
You make this stuff look so easy! You are a man that knows his craft. A dying breed.
That nut is most beautiful thing I have ever seen
As always I love the videos. Your attention to detail astounds me. Your grandfather and father should be proud! Well done sir.
And now I am waiting for TOT to respond to that little comment with a video of him doing the same but with the die filer, just because he can.
The 6 jaw chuck seems to be working very well for you. I'm always amazed at the finishes you get on your work. I've made some big nuts while working at the shipyard, but it was mostly hot rolled and the finishes even with some emery cloth never seemed a smooth and shiny as yours.
Using the shaper to modify the tool holder to cut threads for tooling to run on the shaper. That's some 'circle of shop life' stuff there, Simba...
Custom bars
You make this home machinist very jealous of your work buddy. Very very nice work! Thank you SO much for sharing!
Next you should make a custom wrench for the nut
I have to say this. I don't know squat about machining but I find your videos fascinating. You attention to detail and mastery of your work is a wonder to watch.
Hey Abom why don't you put a little finishing touch on that nut with some of that tool blue compound you got to stop it from flash rusting seen as it will be handled a lot with bare hands? It would be a shame to see it have rusty fingerprints on it seen as you did such a nice job machining it shiny and smooth. P.S I can't wait to see you put this bad boy to work.
What about my rainbow finish? 🙁
@@Abom79, Why stop there, you can hone it in with lapping compound and diamonds!
I think I enjoy watching you indicate the materials more than the machining itself. The time you take, and the effort you put into getting the work piece correctly set up in the chuck is always fascinating to watch. Simple, but fascinating. Love these vids.

As a layman that knows nothing about metallurgy..I’m always amazed how steel cuts steel. Plus, I’m in awe of the precision of these machines...and of course, your workmanship.
What a beautiful nut. Now that sentence is not something I would have thought I'd ever type.
Don't worry Russ, I was thinking the same.....
Wow. That victor lathe with the 6 jaw chuck is identical to the lathe I cut my teeth on. Brings back fond memories. Keep up the good work. Always nice to see classically trained machinist at work.
A shot over Tony's bow at the end there with the filer comment! This could become the internet's most gentlemanly beef if we poked it just right!
That nut is a thing of beauty--the curves and proportions make it a real work of art.
Excellent as always. Top class machining.
Machine shop jewelry! Love the rainbow effect on the fresh machine surface. Great job.
doesn't have to be perfect, proceeds to make it perfect.
Once again, skillful hand-filing saves the day. When you assemble it all at the end, pure mechanical satisfaction!
Is there something wrong with me? I love watching that shaper work. 😍
😂😂
Darrin C
I love it also. Fine ol piece of equipment.
Looks like some nice art work to show true tallent and love of the skill.. well done bro!
The first vid i watched on your channel was because of the guys putting down some concrete. Then i found you doing the stuff i find just fasinating. Been watching ever since. Good job ABOM .
Work of art, man.
I'm always impressed with your creativity and the wonderful quality of your work.
How can a nut be such a beautiful thing!
That's what my girlfriend said.
I am really liking your videos. I was a master mold maker for 35 years. Had to retire for medical reasons. Watching you vids kinda makes me feel still a part of the machining world. Thanks
Your not a machinist, you’re an artist
I couldn't concur to this more.
Oh boy, I have watched these videos for hours. The good old days at Nat'l Acme.I really miss those days.
Add a washer face to keep the corners from scratching your attachment surface.
That chamfer you added is as good as a washer face.
For some reason, I really enjoyed this video more than some of the others. I really like to see how things like this are handled and a beautiful end product. Keep it up!!
NUT......NUT......NUT.....NUT. love all your stuff man great work.
Every time I watch your show I learn some highly valuable lessons. Today it was how to drill a square hole in steel. Thank you sir.
That nut's the Abom!
Nice job on sharpening that 2 in. dia. drill. I enjoy watching your channel...it brings back many good memories of the 35 years that I worked in the machine tool industry. Keep the videos coming. You are doing a great job.
wow great job, very high skill well done
how satisfying is it to watch that big home made nut spin on the thread gauge so smoothly??? love watching you work and dream of being that good.
Ha! This Old Tony and his Fancy Filing machine are on notice for being work shy.
Pretty interesting stuff you do for sure. My dad was a Machinist at General Electric for 44 years and my uncle (his brother) was a Tool & Die Marker at Pass and Seymour for about 40 years. Both retired now. The stuff they would make and/or repair was amazing.
33:09 TOT hint!
shots fired haha
Shaper is looking good. I particularly enjoyed the slow-motion action shots of its operation :). Always a pleasure to watch you work dude.
Excellent!
The only bummer about these old videos. Is the amount of drool I get on my phone from all the tool. Thanks for sharing 👍.
I find that today there are very few people who can sharpen a drill bit off hand.
Yeah sharpening drills is a skill I have yet to master. If the drill isn't real bad I can get it sharp, but there's them days i can't seam to get a certain drill sharp enough to cut wood.

You need a good grinder that has big enough stone for the drills, needs to be kept dressed regular
I've seen a few videos on drill sharpening.You've got a good steady hand and do it well.You are a fine craftsman and machinist.You seem to be a humble man and I admire you
Did you finish the second nut? A guy always should have two nuts.
I did
Two big nuts to go with a large shaft. Life is good ;)
Haha that sly reference to Tony's filing machine made me laugh. Your cameo in his video on it was hilarious, especially the part where he makes a comment about shapers and it cuts to a clip of you! That part made my night haha
Next project... the wrench for this nut... box end... no easy open end wrench...
at least 12 point.
You've got to love this, horse-sized parts with jewelry-like fit and finish. Thank you for sharing your work with us.
