The amount of jig making and prep work to get these jobs done is what really makes the machining world amazing to me. You get one piece of a puzzle and have to create the rest of the puzzle without any reference. Just awesome.
Some shipping tips for you: You can order free shipping boxes from USPS, they will deliver them to your house. If you get the flat rate boxes you can easily print the postage without a postage scale. Having the postage pre-paid, you can schedule pick up at your house. Doing a good deed shouldn't be a punishment.
Hi Adam, just wanted to send a quick encouragement: you look great. Thinner and thinner each new SNS. Keep it going. Loved the mill shaft pressing video and this SNS episode.
Never get tired of SNS... or the rest of your videos for that matter. Just started in school as a "Industrial Technician", which was called "Maskinarbejder" way back. It's totally unclear to me if I will become a machinst, since my father and grandfathers Certificate says "Engine Fitter" in English. Guess what I'm trying to say is, that your videos learned me a lot when I was doing machining as a hobby and now I've tried things out on "real" machines with more power and rigity. Take care and keep the videos comming!
Thank you Adam, for showing us what the inside of metal looks like. You are interesting, educational, honest and very much good-natured. Thank you for continuing to share your experiences with us!
Wanted to let you know Adam, All 234 SNS have been great. Do not change a thing. I think I started watching on the 'Shop Talk with Adam tap wrenches' videos. I think you were suggested by youtube after a mr pete video. I may watch way too much machining for a non-machinist. I deal with machinists as an aspect of my job, and i feel like i know more than some of those guys. Your videos have allowed me to see problems coming up in projects before the machinist did. I also look at the machining quality of stuff like auto parts and catch myself thinking "feed rate was too fast..." Thanks man.
Adam, I really enjoy all of your content even as a non-machinist and want to send special thanks to MI for letting you take some longer clips of a unique setup... very cool. I am a test engineer in power and cooling and work with a lot of electricians, riggers, and mechanics. Watching your videos has helped improve my approach to both troubleshooting and fitup and your tips have helped in a bunch of places both getting things to work and being able to provide feedback to manufacturers about where they went wrong in terms they use.
Another great video Adam. I really like how you always smile at the camera. you are an inspiration to me. I am new to the machining world, but I am learning and buying tons of tools. You are the kind of guy I wish I had as a neighbor.
The Blue Jackets' Manual was used by sailors in boot camp to learn all the traditions still held by the US Navy as necessary for sailors to know. The subjects included, but not limited to, how to fold the unifors, how to tie knots, how to march in formation, etc.
When I watch your videos it returns me to my youth and the smell of cutting oil which permeated the entire shop.The smokey machine smell that the non metal cutting people say stinks,the smell of industry&activity the hum,of machines the ring and clang of moving metal! Ah those were good days and are fond memories.
Hey Adam, just dropping by to say, that your older video from 2016 appeared to my "recommended" section again - so I clicked it open without realizing it was an old one. And I was astounded - you really have shred off a huge amount of weight. The difference is simply mindblowing, really good job! All the best! =)
The Blue Jacket Manual is the basic training guide for sailors - it covers a lot of small boat seamanship, Naval Organization, and Military Organization.
SNS...always a treat. As for your day job...I live within walking distance of a Motion Industries store here in Sacramento, California. They don't have a machine shop, but send stuff right around the corner to Langills Precision CNC....they've made stuff for Aerojet/Rocketdyne...Rocket engines..Space Shuttle parts. I've bought a lot of stuff from Motion, and had Langills do a lot of machining to make/repair parts for me at my day job as Industrial Maintenance Mechanic/Electrician... Good to see you lose some weight, I had friend who was 6' 5" and 350# all his adult life...he had a lot of trouble with his feet and legs as he got older....He was a machinist too, standing on Concrete floor all day.
Think this is the first time i have seen a Taper-Lock hub in any of your videos. God knows how many of those i have disassembled and re-assembled to change shafts etc. Very rarely do i have issues with taking them apart because of the way they are designed, awesome piece.
What ever you put up on the screen mate is good by Me ! You have taught me so much over the passed years of Watching and learning about New Tools, to me has helped me perfect ( do better) with my Machining ability's. Things like how to set up a Work piece how to measure precisely etc. Keep em Coming Mate. Dave from Australia
I worked for an environmental testing, sampling and remediation company in '93-'94. We did work at the Monsanto plant there in Pensacola. Basically they made wear dated carpet fiber. Their property is massive. The bad part, is there is one area on that property that contains a landfill that has some pretty nasty "stuff" buried in it. The smell around that area was atrocious. The fire ants didn't even nest in that area of the property. Anyway, you're looking good. Congrats on the weight loss. Keep it up.
Another great video Adam, The jig for holding the gear had me stumped until you explained it. That is what I like about the how-to videos, gives me another way to look at projects. Thanks again!
R.I.P Mr. Breeze, here's hoping you found an amazing shop waiting on you when you got where you were going! Thank you Adam for being respectful to another mans legacy.
Keep up the good work. I really enjoy watching SNS on a Saturday evening(I'm in the uk) and love learning about machining all the little tips and tricks. also like how you keep popping up on This Old Tonys videos.
That notebook that said Guns on the front looks like our generic notebooks that are issued to us in the military. Every soldier generally has their “green notebook” on them (unless they go out and buy the “Write in the Rain” books) I retired about 9-mths ago and have a dozen of them floating around.
I love the jigs you make. It's really nice to get some of Mr. Breeze's stuff. I didn't know about him, but I've gotten tools from other people that I've known. One gentleman passed and I worked with his wife at the klink, I went to her house to help clean out his garage and helped organize them for selling and she gave me lots of tools.
Hi Adam, I just wanted to drop you a quick message to express how much I enjoy your videos. I’ve been obsessively(!) watching hours worth on your channel over the last few weeks, since discovering you. You have lost a fantastic amount of weight from the early days - congratulations, it’s a great achievement. I greatly admire not only your skill and ability but positive attitude and clear love and passion you have for machine work. You are a terrific ambassador of your trade. Please keep up the good work. Best wishes, Andrew (in the UK)
Again this is a great visit. The level is to die for. The tap handles as well. I have the mid sized one I will use to my end day.The sprocket job was very cool. Another big thanks for showing us all. Enjoyed, , , Oh yea.
I am not a machinist but am a equipment operator. I enjoy watching all the usual machinist videos on youtube. I hope someday to buy a lathe and goof around a bit. Having said all that I appreciate you trying to make sure the handbooks go to people who need them. I could easily enter and make up a story to get a free book, But I would rather see them go to young guys in the trade.
my name is perry white im 61 ive been laying floors for 42 years and i would like to say i admire the hell out of what you do ive always wanted to be a machinist just dont have the smarts you have and i like that your a perfectionist ive tryed being a perfectionist at my job always anyway i like your videos very much keep it up thanks for doing them
Adam, In case you haven't been told already, The Bluejacket's Manual is like Machine Tool Operation Part 1, except it's area of focus is about being an enlisted member of the US Navy.
That level is a great find glad it found its way to you. Those tools need to be with the people who can use them to the fullest extent 👍. Great content as always.
Mighty fancy work for sprockets! I’m sure they had to be that way, but I’m used to seeing welded sprockets on farm equipment, tolerances of about 1/4”.
The "Blue Jackets Manual", was given to me and others, as we began our indoctrination in Navy Bootcamp, so that we could graduate as US Navy Sailors. We were told that there is both a wrong way and a right way to do things. Do neither! You are to do things the Navy way! If not instructed as to the Navy way, the Blue Jackets Manual was your reference! Our seabag of naval clothes issued, included a Blue Jacket.
I've got my dad's 1954 Blue Jacket's Manual. The coolest thing is the color plate of all the medals includes a "Civil War Ribbon." In 1954 they still included the Civil War Ribbon in the list of awards!
Adam i hope you dont mind me saying anything about your weight loss. but if you go back before you diet you can see a huge change in your arms and hands how they have trimed down. i have been fighting my weight sence i was a child. proud for you Adam looking great and sure you are feeling great. thanks.
Nice gets from Mr Breeze. On USPS shipping, open an account on the USPS website and you can print shipping at home PLUS have them pick it up at your house. ( it can be picked up at work too if it's OK with your employer ) You can pay for the shipping with your debit . creditcard or with your paypal account. I use it quite often myself. Jeff
Man! That fixturing set up to hold that sprocket and hub was nice. Enjoyed the vid tonight Adam. Good call on reminding people that the books are for someone that could really use it or are unable to get one. I sure many of us would like one and maybe use it, but could also afford one if need be. Keep up the great work ya big stud!
Adam, I am very interested in the Blue Jackets Manual. I am active duty Navy stationed in Detroit and we have display cases of memorabilia of different time periods of the Navy. That would make a great addition to our WWII case! As always I love the info you provide, It really helps us novices.
I see you're using Martin sproket parts I am a cnc machinist for them. I thought it was really cool seeing other people bore the aplates for taper bushing adaptors . As for chucking on the sprokets we use soft jaws and Chuck on the teeth. Very interesting and good job!
The Blue Jacket's Manual was issued to each Seaman Recruit during Naval Boot Camp and contained Policies, procedures, U.S. Navy history and detailed duty training for indoctrination and training for active duty in the U.S. Navy.
Hey Adam, Thanks for all the work that you do. I had machineshop in highschool and worked at CGI/Microswiss for a summer during school break. watching your videos has got me back into it and I have just bought a small 10" cheapo lathe to tinker with gunsmithing. I'm still getting my tooling which we all know is the expensive part, lol. Keep up the good work, and looking good.
I knew there was a reason I liked watching your channel and now I have the NAS pensacola connection. It is where i went to aircrew school and rescue swimmer school in 86-87! I loved being around that shop area is where we would run by!!
Machine Tool Operation Part 1 was the text book I used in my first year Machine Shop Course.. The year was 1959 at the Halifax County Vocational School in Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada.. My Instructor was Donald Monroe.. It was a Three Year Course.. I graduated in June of 1961.. I began Work in January of 1962 at the age of 19 years, at Dalhousie University, Chemistry Department, Halifax, Nova Scotia.. My Title there was Research Technician.. where I operated their Machine and Wood Working Shop until the Fall of 1973.. My Occupation was to design and construct TOOLS and Machinery for Students working on their Masters and PHD Degrees, in Physical Chemistry.... It was the Job of a Life-time or So - I - Thought.. The TEXT Book Machine Tool Operation Part 1 is "THE BOOK" that touches ALL Operations of MACHINE TOOL and DIE-MAKING.. It's a "MUST HAVE TEXT BOOK".. I have it in my hands as I post this reply.. THE MEMORIES.... sigh.. Thank You Adam, for posting this Video.. th-cam.com/video/-R770CEP-wA/w-d-xo.html
Blue Jackets Manual is the handbook for every Sailor in the US Navy on all kinds of basic rules, regulations, procedures and so forth. Every Sailor gets one in boot. Has all kinds of information that a Sailor can find useful as they go through their career in all kinds of situations. Alas, when I got out of the Navy, I went to visit my folks and my Mother accidentally threw mine away. Edit: Probably should have checked the comments first to see if anyone else had answered that question, lol.
Loved the sprockets. Serious engineering went into the fixturing, and watching you 'walk the cup" was way cool too. You're kind of like those pro golfers....you make the tough shots look easy, so then I build up enough confidence to try.....only to have reality set in and find out how difficult it really is, especially when YOU are making it look so easy!!!! Good on ya mate!
I entered because i need one, it is hard to find one in mine neck of the woods and if i find one my finances won't let me. Missed out on a hand metal shaper that sold for £90 ... Disability means life in hard mode.
I love it all!. I consider myself a newby, and been going through all your videos. Excellent job on your TH-cam channel. Once I get through all your videos, ill be a veteran. BTW. Dont hesitate to ask if you need anything to support your channel, or even a personal project, let me know. I'm an engineer by trade, spent years designing parts for the shop to build. Im in my 50's and your channel, amongst others, has inspired me to get serious. As i have mentioned in the past, I bought a Monarch CY for the start of my metal cutting adventure. Im collecting tools and measuring items, much like you... hitting sales and liquidations... Keep it going.
Any chance of getting a look at the office showcase? Or maybe a short SNS bit sharing some information about show and tell from the showcase?? Please?!
I've always wondered what you (and other people too) do with the chips of the lathe. I like to think that is separated by type and sold to be recycled into new stock but I don't really know.
here in the San Francisco bay area we get about 5 cents a pound, not really worth it however you have to put them somewhere and you pay to dump them in the landfill so recycle it is. Brass/bronze, stainless and aluminum pays more so we keep that in separate bins.
I really like the setup segments, hope to see many more of them. Your weight loss program looks to be really working. I have been busy this summer and got behind in watching your videos and now trying to catch up. Bob
I think that's definitely a shop-made tap wrench. The center section is flat top and bottom. I think he roughed the body out on the mill and then chucked it up and turned the handles round. I'd love to get a better look at that to you used to trepan out the centers of those sprockets. Upside down HSS cutoff blade? How did you get enough clearance for the height of the blade?
Would it be advantageous if you put those sprockets in a lathe and cut a groove on the face that could be TIG welded as well. Seems like it would make the welded surface that much larger.
The amount of jig making and prep work to get these jobs done is what really makes the machining world amazing to me. You get one piece of a puzzle and have to create the rest of the puzzle without any reference. Just awesome.

You're shirts are looking flappy. Yay!
The pictures are really nice.
I love the old books, and the Abom smile after welding.
Thanks.
I won! Yay!!! Thank you so much!
You're a good man Mr Booth. Grandpa and Dad are proud
The Blue Jackets' Manual was used by sailors in boot camp to learn all the traditions still held by the US Navy as necessary for sailors to know. The subjects included, but not limited to, how to fold the unifors, how to tie knots, how to march in formation, etc.
Man those fixture plates are a work of art. It just shows how good, and meticulous you are at your job.
When I watch your videos it returns me to my youth and the smell of cutting oil which permeated the entire shop.The smokey machine smell that the non metal cutting people say stinks,the smell of industry&activity the hum,of machines the ring and clang of moving metal!

Love the smile come on your face after the Tig weld at about 38:00 +. I know how it feels. Nice work.
My Bluejacket manual was published in 2004. Issued in Navy bootcamp in 2005.
Every week you are looking amazing! That weight is falling off! Keep going man!
Well done, Adam on keeping the memory of mr Brees? Alive. Tools that old are made well and last a lifetime or two. Keep up the fantastic work.
Another great video Adam, The jig for holding the gear had me stumped until you explained it. That is what I like about the how-to videos, gives me another way to look at projects. Thanks again!

Walk that cup you skinny pipeliner. Love your videos as I have told you a dozen times, I just can't get enough of Abom 79.
That notebook that said Guns on the front looks like our generic notebooks that are issued to us in the military. Every soldier generally has their “green notebook” on them (unless they go out and buy the “Write in the Rain” books) I retired about 9-mths ago and have a dozen of them floating around.
That's what I was thinking. We had them in a bigger format that we used to pass down from shift to shift what was going on.
Thanks for sharing. 👍🏻
I love the jigs you make. It's really nice to get some of Mr. Breeze's stuff. I didn't know about him, but I've gotten tools from other people that I've known. One gentleman passed and I worked with his wife at the klink, I went to her house to help clean out his garage and helped organize them for selling and she gave me lots of tools.
been watching a lot of your older videos, then this one pops up, holy shit you are looking great!
Great video. You and AvE and Tony are the most interesting and entertaining creators on TH-cam.

most of us who have been here for years enjoy all the sns
Adam your gonna have to switch to a smaller shirt! Keep up the work. Love the content. I’m not even a machinist but love your videos.

I wanna say here that I have been watching you for a while and wanna congrat you for your weight loss
I haven't watched an SNS in a while, and I just wanted to say you are looking fantastic, keep up the work!
Going through the archives, it's incredible how much weight you have lost.
I'm a long time viewer. I'm proud of him.
It's no wonder he's losing weight....He spends his lunch break going to the post office.
That level is a great find glad it found its way to you. Those tools need to be with the people who can use them to the fullest extent 👍. Great content as always.

Man! That fixturing set up to hold that sprocket and hub was nice. Enjoyed the vid tonight Adam. Good call on reminding people that the books are for someone that could really use it or are unable to get one. I sure many of us would like one and maybe use it, but could also afford one if need be. Keep up the great work ya big stud!
Nice precise work on those sprocket jigs. Wish I could weld like that!
Adam, I am very interested in the Blue Jackets Manual. I am active duty Navy stationed in Detroit and we have display cases of memorabilia of different time periods of the Navy. That would make a great addition to our WWII case! As always I love the info you provide, It really helps us novices.
Adam, been kinda here since day one. Since you started that diet, I've seen your progress.... But today, dang it really shows! Keep it up.
Awesome job walking the cup! Would have never guessed that you could do that so well!
I see you're using Martin sproket parts I am a cnc machinist for them. I thought it was really cool seeing other people bore the aplates for taper bushing adaptors . As for chucking on the sprokets we use soft jaws and Chuck on the teeth. Very interesting and good job!
The Blue Jacket's Manual was issued to each Seaman Recruit during Naval Boot Camp and contained Policies, procedures, U.S. Navy history and detailed duty training for indoctrination and training for active duty in the U.S. Navy.
Now I no why I never heard from you on the level . Glad you got one for your collection.
Adam, I love the SNS videos it's always something different..
Keep up the wonderful and informative videos.
Hey Adam, Thanks for all the work that you do. I had machineshop in highschool and worked at CGI/Microswiss for a summer during school break. watching your videos has got me back into it and I have just bought a small 10" cheapo lathe to tinker with gunsmithing. I'm still getting my tooling which we all know is the expensive part, lol. Keep up the good work, and looking good.
You're getting visibly smaller.
In a good way. Well done Adam!
I knew there was a reason I liked watching your channel and now I have the NAS pensacola connection. It is where i went to aircrew school and rescue swimmer school in 86-87! I loved being around that shop area is where we would run by!!
Adam, your smile at the end of "walking the cup" says it all. Done the "wright" way! lol

Bluejacket's manual is what they give to Navy recruits in boot camp. I've got one from the 19-teens and one from the '40s.
Hi Adam, love your videos and look forward to them every week. Always loved the SNS format and I'm glad you got some of Mr. Breeze's books.
19:36 The name of the company is Ascend Performance Materials now. It was spun off to Solutia and then renamed/acquired.
phuturephunk yep, I don’t know why but I always have a hard time remembered the name.
Blue jacket manual is initial instruction book provided to new Sailors when they first get to boot camp.
Good to see Mr Breeze section. Great work holding. Cheers Adam
Keep up the nice work Adam on your weight loss. Looking good.
Just seen its Breeze on the tap wrench. Thanks.
Damn, looking good Adam whatever you’re doin it’s working 👍
Loved the sprockets. Serious engineering went into the fixturing, and watching you 'walk the cup" was way cool too.

Beautiful job on the sprockets Adam :)
Gorgeous welds on the sprockets
Yes on SNS. Stay with it. 600 Machinery Handbook. ppl that can't afford one? First thing I scrimped and saved for.
OH YEAAAAAH! Thanks for that! I didn't expect a super duper mention! LOVE YOU MAN! Heh!
You are an inspiration and a joy to watch. God bless, amigo.
You're a pretty good TIG welder for a machinist. 😁 LOL. Keep up the great work, Adam. I love the videos!
I entered because i need one, it is hard to find one in mine neck of the woods and if i find one my finances won't let me. Missed out on a hand metal shaper that sold for £90 ... Disability means life in hard mode.
I love it all!. I consider myself a newby, and been going through all your videos.
Excellent job on your TH-cam channel. Once I get through all your videos, ill be a veteran.
BTW. Dont hesitate to ask if you need anything to support your channel, or even a personal project, let me know.
I'm an engineer by trade, spent years designing parts for the shop to build. Im in my 50's and your channel, amongst others, has inspired me to get serious. As i have mentioned in the past, I bought a Monarch CY for the start of my metal cutting adventure.
Im collecting tools and measuring items, much like you... hitting sales and liquidations...
Keep it going.
I just like the old B&W photos from the ‘40s and 50’s, especially railroad machine shops/roundhouses!
Any chance of getting a look at the office showcase? Or maybe a short SNS bit sharing some information about show and tell from the showcase?? Please?!
I've always wondered what you (and other people too) do with the chips of the lathe. I like to think that is separated by type and sold to be recycled into new stock but I don't really know.
Recyclable, the swarf can be melted, and re-used.
Thanks, that's cool, but is done? I mean, is cost-effective for a homeshop to do so?
Sell it to the scrap merchant.
Adam, won't smelt it himself, just sells it by weight.
here in the San Francisco bay area we get about 5 cents a pound, not really worth it however you have to put them somewhere and you pay to dump them in the landfill so recycle it is. Brass/bronze, stainless and aluminum pays more so we keep that in separate bins.
It always gets to me every time I see the three generation picture. That is such true to life as most of us live it.
Hey dude, you're losing weight like crazy! Well done man
Love the SNS Format and all the other content as well. Be safe in the storm
I really like the setup segments, hope to see many more of them. Your weight loss program looks to be really working. I have been busy this summer and got behind in watching your videos and now trying to catch up.
Bob
whoa the weight loss is starting to be really visible congrats man . Also ,excellent machining as always .
Trust you came thru the storm ok. You may be doing a lot of repair work for the equipment being driven hard to get things back in shape!
Styling & Profiling Looking good Adam.
6765 E. McNichol's Rd. Detriot MI. How awesome to hear a local area to me :) Flawless work as always Adam, love tuning in!
That surface plate dates back to a time when Detroit commanded respect, now it's just a toilet.
Awesome jigs, really liked them!
I think that's definitely a shop-made tap wrench. The center section is flat top and bottom. I think he roughed the body out on the mill and then chucked it up and turned the handles round.
I'd love to get a better look at that to you used to trepan out the centers of those sprockets. Upside down HSS cutoff blade? How did you get enough clearance for the height of the blade?
Can you share the trepanning tool model number, the one that looks like a cutoff with a curved left and right relief? thank you.
You can tune that level up with a precision ground stone. No need to scrape it again.
If there is ever a manned mission to Mars you need to train the crew on how to fix stuff. Thanks Adam
Would it be advantageous if you put those sprockets in a lathe and cut a groove on the face that could be TIG welded as well. Seems like it would make the welded surface that much larger.
A bomb you're the man. Bring back some A Bomb torque!
dude you need a smaller shirt looking good thanks for your time
