At least for this video the "Old Adam" is back doing things that made him my go to channel for years. Glad to see some real machine work for a change.
Go watch Cutting Edge Engineering Australia. Kurtis is always doing something cool in his full service shop. After watching Kurtis, I can't watch Adam anymore. He bs's along too much and takes wayyyy too long to get things going. Like 60% talk, 40% machining. Kurtis is 90% machining and 10% talking.
Some YT people get a big head & think everyone is soo into them like they are some sort of TV star. Who cares where they went for vacation or what they had for supper last night. Look at ME and all my fancy shtuff while they run their mouth the entire time giving us nothing. Not what brought us here in the first place.
@@clutch5sp989 lol damn bro tell em how you really feel
Good on the young gentleman who wants to learn about mechanical things. Once he's got the equipment, keyway cutting is a great beginner project.
Maybe an apprentice?
You could have invited the kid, to visit and show how it is done!
A good old fashioned SNS, thanks Adam
One of the best SNS episodes I've watched in a long time
one of the few there has been for a long time.
You believe cutting a key slot is an exceptional episode? How old are you? And a further insult is the thumbs up rating.

Hand grinding that drill bit brings back memories...multi-person machine shop where no one gave a crap about leaving common tools in good shape. I worked in one of those. Get a bit, the thing is burned or bent, Wanna grind it? The stone is just a wobbly mess. The setup time when working with careless colleagues is crazy. It must be nice to be in control.
I feel this in my soul. I am the setup person of a large industrial tapping department. I love machining (I'm watching machining on TH-cam off the clock on a Sunday) and take enormous pride in it, but the inexperienced and carelessness of other people is killing me. I have been there 3 years but haven't learned how to deal with it. The jobs I work on alone and my continuous training are the only things that make me feel better.
finally more machining and not just new tools :)
Agreed 🌴👍👍😎🌴
This is why I originally subscribed. More please.
Try Cutting Edge Engineering. Kurtis is a full service shop serving the mining industry in Australia so he's always got awesome stuff going on. Fixing parts on HUGE excavators and graders and all sorts of stuff. Sooo much better than Adam, imo. And he doesn't talk for 80% of the vid like Adam. It's mostly machine work and him, actually making and repairing stuff like making a new piston and cylinder for a HUGE, 1 ton hydraulic cylinder. Go watch. You'll see.
1:30 Best part of the day. Walking in. Flipping that switch. This is all mine. I am my own boss. Look at all my toys!
Ich frag mich, wie er damit Geld macht.
@FranzFuX Es ist alles TH-cam-Geld.
Pig mat under the coffee machine - that is a real engineering shop!
It was good to see the K&T in action again. Thanks
I'm glad to see you doing the "Little Jobs." I know from experience it's hard to get job shops to take them on, but it helps a lot of people who need these jobs done.
Many of us have watched since day one and have enjoyed watching this channel grow, I am so very happy to see the new shop taking place. I'm certain your Dad and Grandad would be proud. Its amazing what we can achieve with the right people in our lives.
The perfect thing for my evening, an SNS video to chill and relax to!
Never thought of that sentence, but that's the actual sentiment. Also goes to other wonderful channels like this one. Right now I'm here with my morning coffee relaxing!
I think it is awesome that you encouraged him to learn more. Too often, the kids (I am 51) graduating high school have no desire to learn skilled trades. Like it is beneath them or something.
My dad was a surgeon and sent me to private white collar schools only to realize that I like working on motors and using tools.
@@scottgm321 My Dad wanted me to go to football college and join the Green Bay Packers. I just want to build things out of wood, metal, and concrete.
Geez Adam what a gorgeous shop! Did you imagine when you were playing football in high school and this is what you’ve achieved1 well done!
To see your shop go from empty shell to what it has become today... has truly been amazing! LOVE the POV intro Adam!! It was awesome!
That's a neat little trick with those brass spacers! I fight those burrs all the time and use a step bit with a pair of vise grips. Man, that's gonna save me a ton of time!!! Thanks Adam, I think you just saved me at least a half hour of work when building a sign cabinet. I can't believe I didn't think of that before!
Good man for taking on these little jobs, a shop willing to do so is essential for folks and a big part of the local community
When I was 18, I definitely would have ground the key slot out with a die grinder or dremel or something free hand. Smart guy for going straight to a professional! Haha. Still can't get myself to do that 25 years later.
Me too posts are boring, but me too !
I'd love to be a fly on the wall watching them trying to install those new seals. Perhaps that is why they were using O rings.
Nice Machining!
Good video, thanx Adam. Glad to hear you helped the young man with his project and encouraged Him to look into a possible career. 😃
I really enjoy the little one off jobs! So much to learn from each setup and "method of attack" in getting it done.
Thanks for sharing 🇨🇦
Thank you Adam. For FORTY years I have had trouble with the pulley on the blade shaft of my table saw. It keeps coming off, and destroying the Woodruff key. My problem has been that the "correct" size does NOT fit, and I have been hand filing them to "fit". How was I to know, prior to the World Wide Web, that a Woodruff key is a tight press-fit? Thanks to this video, I now know how to fix this once and for all. I will replace the key currently in the shaft with a new one, by "press fitting" it into the keyway. I am so excited to finally realize what has been the cause of an almost annual failure. In 1980, when I started my own woodworking shop, there was no access to information about machinery. This was "industrial trade" information, and at that time you would have to go to "trade school" to learn it. In high school I was in the "academic track" bound for college. I bought my woodworking tools with the money I earned as a research chemist right out of college. As I grew up, i was taught woodworking by my grandfather, who learned it from his grandfather who was a Master Furniture maker, ca. 1850. Thus, much like Adam. I learned woodworking skills passed down to me from my great-great-grandfather. But of course that man knew nothing at all about power machinery. He worked in southeastern Iowa, on what was the far western frontier, in Mount Pleasant.
That’s awesome.
The assimilation of knowledge is so empowering! It’s amazing how much access we have these days to such knowledge.
Good to see the old K&T still chugging along. Great video.
The Monarch lathe and the K&T mill are always my favorite.
You are a really good teacher, Adam. Thank you for your time and effort, I greatly appreeciate you!
Love the multiple quick projects format, attention span waivers for longer ones to be honest
That drill you ground cuts beautifully on both cutting edges. Nice.
WORKING WITH DADS TOOLING. PRICELESS
It's very cool watching a master machinist solve unique problems and trot out obscure methods, tools and knowledge. Great stuff.
Great video! Really enjoyed this style format of several different jobs.
Glad to see all them tools go to work finally
It's cool but a little disheartening that you were so surprised that a young guy was so interested in machine work and mechanical engineering. Props to you for recommending local education that can lead him into a career that he's genuinely interested in.
I work in a totally different field but it's guys like you who showed me the ropes, how to be the FNG, and ultimately gave me the experience to do what I love also. You're a good man, Adam.
The shop has come together so wonderfully 🎉
Thank you Adam. I've been an absentee for a while, so coming back to a classic SNS, and seeing just how far you have come with the new shop, was really enjoyable and inspring.
If I went back 46 years to when I was 18 yrs old I cannot imagine a better person to be apprenticed to. It is a pleasure to watch a master craftman at work. I never did enter engineering but instead became an Analytical Chemist and subsequently a Project, Programme and Portfolio Manager. A shame really as the last ten years of my YouTubing viewing has all been about engineering or being a mechanic with very little chemistry.
I doff my hat to you Sir :)
So much more interesting than CNC. Been missing the good old days. Thanks.
That is a piece of cake job. I use a depth micrometer with a rounded measuring end. I have a set I made to handle all radii for keyseat cuts.
I also measure internal grooves with a depth micrometer.
Thanks for sharing, it's impressive how many different tools and equipment are needed for a "simple job".
Some helpful advice. Set the lash on the X axis so it does not climb the part. Also the machine has axis locks for a reason. Use them. Good to know you’re finally working off of the Machinery Handbook. It will be your friend. Keep up the good work!
I loved that episode Adam. Wall to wall machine shop stuff. Thank you.
I really enjoy watching you work. You can tell of your history you have experience and knowage
The knowledge you give freely is priceless. I'm glad to see you are benefiting from it.
You could probably pick up a lot of jobs like this if you left a business card at all the local machine shops, and if they'd be willing to refer people to you.
Yep that's it you got it - straight to the coffee machine first!
nice detail was the pigmat under it. Praktical, love it
It's not Saturday without SNS. Yes. !
40:17
I love the “watchmaker’s” vise! So tiny and delicate!
This is why you are the man all the details you say in your videos really appreciate it
That was a very nice intro/shop tour. I really enjoyed it. Nice video to wake up to sunday morning in Denmark.. with a good cup of coffee :-) All the best!
Many young people today lack dexterity in their hands because they just don’t do anything with them except keyboarding.
My dentist told me that many density students struggle with holding, manipulating and applying pressure with tools.
It is nice to know some young people are working with their hands.
I like so much the workmanship you show us
I have very much enjoyed traveling down other paths with you, but this is what I joined for.
Used to be easy to find machine shops. Not the case any more. I used to be in the injection molding business. We had our own mold shop. As the years went on we could not keep up with the implores, and our mold shop only did repairs and modifications. Now being removed from that setting I really miss not having the equipment at my personal disposal. Not easy to find anyone to do even the simplest projects.
Keep on doing what you have always done!
Its the little things I see a good machinist do that seem so obvious after I see them do it but I doubt I ever would have thought of on my own that really fascinate me. Shearing the burrs off those brass washers in a vise for instance, so simple and affective but nothing I had ever seen before and it probably never would have occurred to me to do. I know thats something I wiil remember and use a lot in the future. Thanks Adam! As a 57 year old budding home machinist and fabricator these videos are gold to me.
I LOVE that Adam *knows* the truth about making a measurement. Do Not Look as you make the measurement, or you will set it to what you want and not to what it is. I spent 40 years as a Medical Research Scientist, and this is the cardinal rule. Along with, "EVERY measurement has an error range." You must state this range or your measurement is meaningless.
Thats the kind of videos that got me to subscribe years ago. For some reason the manual machine work is cathartic to watch especially on SNS. Yours is probably my favorite utube to watch.
If anyone marks metal with a sharpie, I would highly recommend heating the metal to 100C to 140C. This allows the piggment to penetrate into the metal, keeping it from being rubbed off. It also makes it very resistant to most detergents and solvents. Only acetone and bromine based solvents and remove it once properly treated.
Whoa that’s clever. I’d have never thought of that. Thanks!
I took a break from cleaning my shop to watch this video. Very relaxing to someone else work. Excellent video.
It is really amazing how the shop has come together. The intro here really was great with your walkthrough. It is incredible the progress you have made. You should be very proud!
That was a neat trick to remove the parting off flash... Nice!
Outstanding!! Best SNS in some time. Thanks!
As you walked into the shop, I thought how funny it would be to hear you yell in a maniacal voice.
MINE MINE IT'S ALL MINE MUAAAHA.
Thanks for the video and doing a small job for this young fellow!
Watching the intro to this video, just makes me wonder if you from 5 years ago would have ever believed this is where you would be today? Its inspiring for anyone watching that even in todays world, it is still possible to find success.
Any chance we can get an update video on some of the various projects you've shown glimpses of over the past few years. The Cincinatti Radial Arm Drill, the 2nd shaper you had in the home shop for a while, and some of the other machinery you've shown purchasing and storing for future videos?
Yep, I'd love to see a restoration series on the radial arm drill
I've always liked watching you do hydraulic work. In some ways it's just machining, but I can see that a lot of extra experience comes in mighty handy.
Use a rubber band to hold your coolant nozzle against the back of your boring bars. Just loop it over the cooland line and hook the other end over a screw on the tool holder.
The new shop is so damned impressive!
Been waiting for SNS to be like this again, Great Job!!
Excellent content Adam. Very cool to see you do a variety of jobs.
It's simply amazing what you've built in that shop! I am quite envious of your success with this business.
Great Job As Allways !!! Thanks Adam.
Adam... Thanks for helping out the young guy. Many times when I was a kid, I’d walk into a shop for something I needed and lucky for me. The people in the shops never turned my little projects away. In fact, they sort of took me under their wing and showed me more that I came for... Their help and want to teach, made me feel confident and made me bite off much more.
Excellent work,Adam.Thank you.
sometimes the smaller non production type jobs are the most interesting to me
Nice to see you showing some machining projects again. Thanks for sharing.
He has his priorities correct’ coffee first! And that shop is high and tight! Excellent!
Thanks for sharing your experience , I really appreciate seeing your videos !! 👍🤙
Adam, I see you have one of the most important machines in any shop, a coffee maker.
Hey, Adam. Thanks for the "walk-in walk-through" of the new shop. I have to say that is one awesome machine shop. Enjoy. See you on the next one.
EXCELLENT video! This is the type of video that helps me improve and learn. Thanks, Adam.
Adam, You have really filled up your shop. A place for everything & everything in its place. Awesome job.
Thanks for sharing Adam.
The work at the old shop at your house is always the best in my opinion. But it’s good to see you growing too!
Haha, loved seeing the pig mat under the Keurig.
Thanks for sharing. Getting done.
Very nice to see a old time SNS video. This is the kind of stuff I subscribed for. 👍
The shop is really coming together
you and your videos gives me motivation to keep pushing keep up the good work
The new shop does look super nice, bet you are some proud. The camera shots look like something I would have done if I was proud of many years of hard work and dedication.
What a nice variety of jobs. Each one well explained and executed. Thanks!
Always good to see machining in action. Happy days. Nice work too.
Great job on the seal installation and the shop is so modern all set for the future
This is what we are here for , thank you
Oh man! I haven’t checked your channel recently and that new shop area is so organized and clean! Amazing!
❤ Proof of Life of the old shop, outstanding.
Nice work as always.
Nice work Adam.
Thanks for sharing. 👍
Excellent work, Adam. TOP.
Very well done!
Hi Adam, nice ensemble of a bunch of small jobs, arc gouging was cool too. Hope you're having a great weekend. Thanks for sharing. Take care
