I remember the days when you was on a budget, talking about not breaking into the house keeping money" just look how far your channel as grown, 100% quality of workmanship every time. Thanks for sharing Tom.

Great video! Don't get me wrong, I always enjoy your commentary, especially your creative choice of terminology, but the "wordless" sections are pure joy. The magic of time compression and that flow of the job going together. Wonderful, many thanks! Whoever takes the competition, IMO the real prize is the "playing field!"

[dlstanf]

I like your artistic flare. Throwback to the masters. Everything today is just flat bar & plate for expediency. Nice Job!

[travisshrewsbury]

beautiful design, you never cease to amaze with the things you come up with

[JohnBare]

A monumental apparatus in the annals of competitive shop grab-ass.

[Jazz-kmdd]

Your fixture is looking great! Hope your having fun assembling it.

[blacksiddha]

Looks amazing. Hope there's enough Abom room!!... Look forward to seeing the return match. Maybe Mr Fenner will surprise everyone. Excellent workmanship in the apparatus which, seeing the baby bullet from start to finish, does not surprise me. A masterpiece with amazing attention to detail. Perhaps some little brass "trophy" plaques of past winners!

Looking good Tom. I like the design for making the legs removable.

No 1/2 ass projects in this shop. Turning into one of the best series on your channel. Let's see how many tools and machines you can incorporate. Thx for vid.

[ROBRENZ]

Nice design and execution Tom.  I especially like the curves of the end plate design.

[leecarter]

Must be nice to have the time and resources to do these kinds of projects.  You are very fortunate Tom...

[eformance]

I love it when I see people using taps correctly!!!

[AmateurRedneckWorkshop]

That looks very classy. I bet it will be copied by others for their own local contests. Keep on keeping on.

[roberthughes]

its starting to look Adam proof! nice design by the way :)

[KISSMYACE]

Tom, I'm unbelievably jealous of your welding table, the one's we use at work are, best I can tell, 8mm. Needless to say, they flex extremely easily when trying to clamp things to them.

[Doug_Edwards]

Looking good.  Wish I was going to be able to try it, can't make it this year.  It will be a great competition to watch from all around.  It was tight gathering to watch the action around Stan's lathe. Last year was funny, we were watching through the windows when you and Adam were battling it out.

[RRINTHESHOP]

Looking good. Going to need a flatbed to get it to LA.

[Skycrowe]

I like the sanding drum on the grinder. Its it a normal speed angle grinder looks a really useful tool.

[phillipyannone]

Very nice Tom, obviously designing and fabricating are just some of your fortes.

Hey Tom, great video. You guys kill me with your tig welding half inch plate. It's not like you don't have a beautiful mig machine. I guess it makes better viewing.
