SNS 240: Heavy Turning, New Tooling, Vacation Recap

This week I share some footage of a gearbox shaft I machined. Some heavy turning in the pacemaker, milling of the key ways, an final shots. I also give some highlights of some of the events I went to last week in Mississippi and Georgia.

*_My dude's comment is 100% in that letter. I also look forward to this 'show' every Saturday. As well as the little treats that get posted on Wednesday's most of the time. But I agree, SNS is the most anticipated upload every Saturday. I realize that there is a lot more involved than just collecting footage. Editing all of that is where the real creativity begins. So don't think it goes unnoticed Adam. Your the man bro! Keep it up, we all appreciate what you do._*
Cheers

Adam, I've watched your videos since the start. Have to say your quest for health and smaller frame is producing results. While you have always come across as a very happy and positive man, your spirit seems bigger and brighter since you started your quest.

Dude, you standing next to that Piranha machine I realized just how great you are looking. You have slimmed down tremendously. Excellent work Adam. I am so damn happy for you. Keep it up!!!!

Mate I don’t think I can explain how much I enjoy watching you create masterpieces, you take extreme pride in what you do and devote what I believe you entire time to machining or something to do with the industry, I’ve watched quite a lot of your videos and you explain things that Even I can understand and I’m a retired truck driver in Australia, I thank you for this. I’ve owned a lathe “Mars Hercules 5.5” for that past 20 odd years and now live on it trying to better myself with getting hints and listening to what you say and what you do, mate I love it and I really thank you for it, Cheers mate Matty from OZ

Adam - thank you so much for coming to Lindale yesterday for The Good of the Land festival. I made the 3 hour drive from the Houston area for the opportunity to shake your hand and say "thanks" for the hours of education and entertainment I've enjoyed over the years. Thanks for taking the time to visit for a few minutes. I sure hope you can use the big piece of HSS that I gave you, maybe on the shaper.
Thanks
Greg

When do the booth machine shop or Abom79 logo oil cans hit the market?

[mikenixon]

Adam you look like a different person. great job on weight loss! Good video.

adam is a top class machinist who Id employ in a heartbeat but I reckon his real gift is film production and presenting, got to be most professional channel on youtube

[noahproblemo]

Adam, congratulations on the weight loss! Love the channel and all the great videos.

[yenoh]

I believe that it was you Adam who got me started buying Eagle 66 oil cans. They now cost over fifty pounds to import into the UK! Keep up the good work.

Abom and Ave together would make one helluva channel series! Two of my favorite channels

I like stickers, so I bought a roll of magnetic sign material, (white on one side) and I stick my stickers on that, then cut out the shape of the sticker. Now I can rearrange them as I see fit, or move them from the gun safe to a cabinet door, to the various tool boxes and machines, or wherever it suits me. Great video, Adam!

About that key...
This is something I have done on machines that I just KNEW I was going to have to work on later with relatively large keys like that.
I'd drill and tap a small hole toward one end that could be used by a slide hammer to tilt it up a little, for removal later.
That not only lets the guy who is putting it together know which dimension is dressed for the slot, it just helps some future guy out that has to take the stuff apart so he doesn't have to get the vice grips out to try and pry the key out.
On a few I did, I also took some number stamps and lightly stamped in "10-32" or "1/4-20" next to the hole - because I'm a good guy like that.
I like to think that somewhere there is a seven year old kid out there right now that will have to take apart and fix some stuff I did years ago that will see that kind of thing years from now, and get a little grin from it and feel a little appreciation.
Kinda like I'm 'hat tipping' someone decades in the future.

I love the old Ace Hardware Oiler, I own 2 Ace stores in Oregon. I’ll keep an eye out for another one for ya. Love your channel.

I grew up 70 miles south of Meridian in the Hub City. Never knew of the museum up there. My Dad was a fireman, then a locomotive engineer for the Mississippi Central RR. I love anything steam. It must be really satisfying to start with an ugly bar of steel and turn it into a beautiful masterpiece. Thanks for the enjoyable videos.

[dzank]

See some people expressing they don't like the style you used in this video; I for one, love the new style of editing, breaks up a 5 minute pass on the lathe with zero commentary into smaller chunks.
Most people here have seen chips being turned, and hopping in every few minutes on a simple straight pass on the lathe is definitely a step in the right direction IMO, especially for the SNSs

[markwaldorf]

My Dad was a tool & die maker. I have some of the screw jacks and risers. Didn't know what they were for until I saw this episode. :-)

[pameladooley]

Wow I just saw how much weight you have lost, looking good, (David Dooley)

[tyecoleman]

[joopterwijn]

Just noticed, .... almost a quarter of millions subs, ... imagine all those people in a stadium an Abom79 with a monarch in centerfield and they all are cheering him more chips, more chips, more
