- Our machining project this week is a driveshaft yoke that needed a small modification done to it. I machine a mandrel to hold it securely in the lathe for the turning operation.
The Good of the Land Festival is coming up this October 26th 2019 in Tyler Texas and will be held at the Texas Early Days Tractor & Engine Association. I plan to be there as well as many other TH-cam creators. Please come out and visit! It's going to a great time!
Also, the following weekend November 1st and 2nd will be the Soule Steam Festival in Meridian Mississippi at the Mississippi Industrial Heritage Museum. I plan to be there on November 2nd all day and invite my viewer out for this event to visit. It's an awesome place to see! Full line powered machine shop on display as well as steam engines.

Your discussion of possible methods of attack on projects is especially meaningful and helpful to me, being a farmer that often needs to solve problems and make repairs without having time to take a project to a machine shop to help me work things out. I very often need to make a repair and solve problems myself and having you take me through your problem solving process is sincerely appreciated. Nick, North West Farmer
I lived in Meridian until the spring of 1981 and did not know that building was a steam repair shop. Still have family there and looks like a good time to visit my family and see the steam shop.
I enjoyed the different view of you operating the monarch. Normally we just see the tool work, this time we see Adam working the controls. Thanks 👍 👍
Nice to see Abom making chips and teaching in his unique style again. I'm not a machinist but find his work fascinating. I'm glad for his success and building out a company takes work in different areas . While outfitting his shop, scoring some free stuff, trips and visits are interesting, that's not what built his following. I'm glad to see him doing well and would be happy to see more machinist work in the future.
Nice to see the run through of work-holding options, great content again👍👍
There is something so therapeutic about your videos man. Absolutely love watching them.
Besides being a great machinist, you are humble and friendly. I like how you smile in your videos - a lot of guys don't bother thinking about such things. Been watching you for years, sometimes with my Dad, and even my mom. Everyone is always interested in what you're doing
I wanted to comment on something you said in SNS 224 Pt 2 about bragging. I've recently come across your channel & have been watching your videos with a keen interest. I want to applaud you on your videos, the content and especially the way that you take the time to explain stuff. You show a real talent and a greater passion in what you do. Even to the point where you delicately place customers jobs down on the bench as if they were precious. That is one of the marks of a good, respectful tradesman. The fact that you do not brag and yet have every right to do so just goes to how much character you have. I think that I can speak for most of your viewers that we do not tune in just to watch metal spinning (even though it is pleasantly appealing), we tune in to you, as a good bloke, with a great personality who is teaching us a heap of stuff along the way. You personalize it by bringing us all into your world and showing who you are. So - Thanks Adam.
Have a great trip. My outstanding memory of Colorado is the Mount Evans Scenic Byway. I got out of the car at a bit over 14,000 feet elevation, and decided I was going to run up the last bit to the top. It was a bad mistake. The air was so thin, I thought I was never going to get my breath back! A crazy cyclist rode his bike to the top, turned around, and went back down again. We caught him on the way down but couldn't pass him because he was going so fast. He must have been one heck of an athlete.
Were used to it up here, lowlander. 😝
It is beyond me how anybody can give this guy thumbs down, I love just sitting watching this guy work the mind boggles how you can just get round problems and make things happen awesome to watch fantastic effort love this guys channel shame we don't have this guy here in Australia because I've been making friends with him real quick just to learn
If you screw up external threads, or dont have the tooling to thread it. Chaop the end off a bit short and drill and tap the end for a capscrew and thick washer. It will clamp yoke well also. Dont toss your temp mandrel. It can be turned down to chuck all kinds of stuff.
I am glad you and Abby are enjoying life! I got interested in your channel originally for the Machining, and of course it IS good to hear about what's going on.
The Monarch, the Shaper, the K&Tand cutting metal are the coolest of all. You can't please everyone so- It is not a rant. But watching you work Metal with accuracy is famously giving us more of what we need. Good Job, good episode and keep up the good work.
They say crazy people like shiney things. lol Guilty as charged I guess.
Adam, it's a treat watching you work, you are a true consummate professional. The dedication you have put into this channel truly shows I look forward to watching your channel for many years to come.
P.S. It's great watching your face light up when you're holding that Starret banner, you sure do love their fine products, so do I!
When you mentioned train rides it brought back to mind when we vacationed in Pagosa Springs Co. We rode the Durango and Silverton train from Durango up to Silverton and it was a blast. If you ride in the covered gondola cars ( I recommend at least one way) keep your head in the car at all times. The train passes through cuts in the rock with like 6" of clearance on both sides. I almost found out the hard way. I hope that is one of your train rides, it is absolutely beautiful. Enjoy. There is a creek that parallel the tracks, super cool.
Creek? That's the Los Animas River flowing by Silverton to and by Durango.
Centering with the piece is just another way of training the new guys. Way to go.
It's nice to watch a master at work. I have run into the same situation on a forklift, I just machined a shim to put behind the yoke. It's been in service for 12 years. I didn't have the experience to fix it the way you did. Nice work.
your customers are so lucky because they have you Adam. I like your idea about how to do work, really i love it
Mate, if you get anywhere near the Beartooth pass from Red Lodge into Yellowstone, y'might consider driving up to Joliet to have a yarn with Dave Engels at Engels Coach Shop in Main Street. He builds and repairs wagons. Bloody good bloke and a real gentleman. You and him would get along just fine I reckon.
Outstanding Video this week Boss 👍.... Your Camera work is beyond professional, its Masterful✔✔✔. You and Abby enjoy your Colorado vacation, we will all be here when you get back 😎
I like how you had presented a problem you were facing and presented multiple solutions to the problem.
Thanks.
Well shoot. I will be driving through near Temple on the 18th or 19th and then heading back on the 28th or 29th. The 26th I will be in the middle of the gulf on the way back to Galveston. Oh well maybe another time.
I do want to say thank you very much for your video's. Not only are they informative but honestly to me VERY relaxing. I sit down and start almost falling asleep watching them after a bit. Honestly that is not a bad thing as since my wife passed away sleep has been fleeting. But just watching the machines and you getting into a groove and just having everything work is very awesome.
Threading. I LOVE the threading! True Master, Adam. I bow to those who thread on lathes.
"Lets get that last thousands out of there". lol Spoken like the true master machinist that you are Adam!
Thank you again for the fantastic video. Adam, I am hooked on watching your channel. You honor your Dad and Grand Dad with your talent and genuine people skills.
Take that week off completely, that means youtube also. I thik you absolutely earned it :) just you and your wife having a good time without social media :)
A tiny break from the good knowledge you give us, will make it better when it's back.
It is always great to see you do threading, you make it look so easy.
Throughout my 30+ year career as an automotive/ light truck mechanic, I used LS Starrett measuring equipment whenever possible. Upon retirement, I started doing a lot more woodworking than anything else, and frankly I didn't have much need for Starrett precision measuring equipment any longer... One day, I encountered a gorgeous piece of exotic hardwood, that seemingly could not be identified, so I was able to purchase it for next to nothing! My trusty bandsaw blade that I'd been using for resawing without a hitch for over a year, lasted for about 5-6" length of cut through a thickness of about 3.5" of this wood! Crap... I did some research, bought a highly rated, ridiculously expensive, specialty, hardwood resawing blade, and it lasted for all of about a foot's worth of cutting, before it too was SMOKED! By this point, I was pretty unhappy, but very determined to resaw this lumber! I can't recall where I found the reference, but something, somewhere, led me to an article regarding High silica content hardwoods, and that my best bet for cutting this stuff was a carbide tipped bandsaw blade produced by, and sold directly through...
You guessed it. LS Starrett Co. And true to its name, though in a form I'd never imagined even existing, Starrett came through! How Awesome is that? 😊
I’m sure there are some people that think they are better machinist and I’m sure there are some that are better but I have to say he is by far the best I’ve ever seen and I love the way he explains each step and y he is doing it that way
Looks good! That Monarch tackles those jobs with ease 😎
I really enjoyed watching you work the hand wheels there like a 3rd person thing, you really get to appreciate working all the different axis by feel
Yay, Mesa Verde! It's an awesome spot. Hope you guys have a ton of fun on your trip.
I am happy for you guys getting to go to Colorado, I had multiple opportunities to go out there with my Father in law that was raised there, there is a lot to see and do and one train I hope you guys are going to ride is the Silverton/Durango narrow gauge Railroad, the scenery is magnificent you cannot believe what you will be seeing, another neat place is the Royal Gorge suspension bridge, that is a fantastic place to go, good luck and I hope you guys have a good trip, Thanks
Great video as always. Sure hope you not freaked out by narrow winding mountain roads while your are driving around Rocky Mountain National Park. Have a great vacation.
Enjoy your trip. Did Emeryville to Denver on the California Zephyr last August. Incredible scenery through the Rockies. Take your camera.
Starrett would be an awesome marketing partner! It looked like the old yoke could have been saved by using a Speedi-sleeve
Another good SNS...wait...WHAT?!?... possibility of no videos for a week?!? I'm shocked and mildly outraged. 😜
I think it's great that you guys can now get out more and enjoy yourselves and have opportunities to meet your fans. Also cool that you have the Adventures channel for that side of your life.
Thanks for the exceptional work you do for us!
As always, smile to the Booth trio at the end.
i work in the oilfield and this year was the first time in 6 years ,i could afford to take a real vacation this summer. hope to be able to go some of the meet ups too. thanks for all the great content, and sharing your knowledge.
Thanks for showing us all those options Adam.I hope to purchase a lathe,and mill soon and join the fun.
Adam....great video production, discussion, demonstration, build....ATB to you and Abbey
You thread more mechanically than some CNC's I've seen!! Simply amazing.
I love watching your videos and now you are working on something that I have a lot of experience with.
Been building driveshafts for over 40 years and have modified many yokes over the years. I had a little different tooling set up for my stuff though.
I hope you love colorado! It is a beautiful place with wonderful people, which is why I moved out here.
Let's go Starrett... let us in that awesome factory in Athol. We promise to be good. (fingers crossed)
Hope you enjoy your vacay trip, love your lathe videos, be waiting for your next adventures among the shavings.
Nice job on the shop made mandrel and good tip on the expanding mandrels. I had thought about buying some, but they are not cheap. Looks like shop made is a good option. Thanks for the video, JB San Diego
Abom mandrels are better quality than most others finished work. Great job Adam 👍🏻
Had a great time at the meet and greet in Lexington. Really enjoyed visiting with you and Abby.
Nice video. I appreciate you taking the longer way to do this. I liked seeing the shot of the entire you operating the machine. Usually only see the hands going at it.
Once again you prove it is all in the set up and the execution of the plan. Nice all around Adam.
Don't worry about missing a video we ain't going anywhere enjoy yourselves!👍
Think about your training for machinist mates, they watch this stuff biblically. Anything you do is taken as the way to do everything. You have a massive influence one the new guys and very deserved. Please stress safety and the right way you think is a way tomachi
Nice holiday , grtz from the Netherlands 🇳🇱
I learn à lot from your channel!
If you get a chance, you guys gotta go check out Ouray, one of the best small mountain towns in the country, my favorite place in Colorado. Looking forward to more content. 😊
And then go over Red Mountain Pass to Silverton the Durango or else the reverse order. Durango is NE of Mesa Verde Park. The Durango-Silverton Narrow Gauge RR shops are in Durango, CO.
What can I say but Well done 👍👍👍. It is true with most things involving repairs. Take fixing a hole in a wall, you put a drop cloth on the floor, fill the hole, sand and then the final step is painting. Preparation 45 minutes or more painting 5 minutes for two coats. You 10 minutes milling the yoke and lots more making the mandrel. LOL
Nice video, Enjoy Colorado and the Rocky mountain "High"!
Beautiful work! Love watching your videos! Enjoy your vacation, I can’t wait to visit Colorado one of these days.
Your videos are wonderful to watch and we want to follow you for a long time. So, have a break and come back refreshed. Looking forward to seeing you adventures. Best wishes.
I hadn’t really thought much about Starrett until I started watching your videos.
I bought an old 6” machine level recently, gave it a slight slight stone on the base and calibrated it today.
Man those things are accurate. Once I had it calibrated I stuck a .0015 feeler gauge under one end and the bubble moved one division.
Starrett should send you one of everything to show on your channel! :)
You in action is worth 100,000 glossy brochures.
Love the flag smile
Keep up the good work and enjoy your time off.
It’s ok to skip a week we won’t unsubscribe ;)
Precision and accuracy are not the same thing!
Stavros
@@stevecallachor
Hi Steve, I’m not sure why you have made that distinction?
Are you suggesting I should have used the word “precision” instead of the word “accurate”?
i like the zoomed out view when you are cutting the threads. you are so good at operating that lathe sometimes i forget theres a human behind the handles.
Jonus Jonus Yes, poetry in motion.
used to work in a shop that made EDM electrodes out of graphite. I dot to use use a lot of different machines. LOVE your channel !!
Meesa Verde? Adam... buddy... May-suh. 😁 Enjoy my state!
You are lookin sharp, man! Keep killin that diet.
Dear Adam, I just discovered your videos and enjoy them very much. I own my own (smaller) shop for 23 years now and like what I see. At first I learn a lot extra from your aproach. Maybe second; I have a couple of suggestions which could help you in your work. Did you ever consider the use of collets, soft collets and expanding collets on your lathe? If I had to rework the spline part I would use an expanding collet and fit a thin walled section on it to match te spline internal diameter and expand it to grab the internal diameter. For me it would be quicker than turning a matching axle and thread for a nut. For accurate outside work I love to use aluminium soft jaws on my chuck for rework. Another trick for me to accurate position rework in a chuck is to turn a bore in a bush a 0,01 mm above the desired size of the work I like to hold and then place the part and tighten the chuck some more. Works great and also quite quick. Thank you for sharing your craftmanship, especialy your pace in threading :-) Keep up the good work and with best regards, Job Kneppers, Delft, the Netherlands
Enjoyed your comment. Netherlands huh, cool, I have recently been watching mastermilo82 sometimes with no English captions. Have been hearing a lot of Dutch i think? Again cool suggestions, he has preferences and likes to change it up sometimes. (reworking an old rusty Russian tank.)
Nice video and editing work on the threading part of this video. Nice intro about quadrants. Good flow and changing camera angles. Keep up the good work.
Adam, I appreciate you sharing your knowledge.
Wow, Starrett instruments, I wish they had made an _entry_ line of tools, at least in my neck of the woods. I always ended up with Japanese stuff, cause I couldn't afford Starrett at the time I needed something, even used from a pawnshop! Good luck setting something up with Starrett, that would be fantastic!
off by 1/4 blond one...but you know we could be better...Damn Adam, you are the man! Love to watch you work and wish I had 1/100th the talent (and equipment). Part of my retirement wish list is to get a small machine shop and wood shop (yea, I know, I sound like Uncle Keith Rucker now). LOL.
Nice work as always, machine shop time is less to drill and tap a hole for bolt and washer = less cost to customer....
Great content Adam, thumbs up. You are entitled to at least one week off in the year, go and have fun we will survive:)
I love these visits Adam. Thanks a bunch fella.
Now that's the sign of a Master Machinist ! Make a part, to fix a part !!
Another Fantastic video, Adam. Enjoy your vacation with the Mrs., and I hope Starrett can arrange a nice trip for you to Athol (pronounced as Athall) here in Massachusetts. : ) Looking forward to your next video.
Enjoy the vacation. Thanks for another fine video with good content.
Been watching for years an was great to see the long shot of you cutting the threads. Happy for your success!
Hey that’s cool, I used to work in a CNC shop that made those slip yokes.
Great content. AWESOME banner from Starrett. I did not know that the company has been around since 1880. Seem's a little weird in this day & age of company's being brought & sold, i.e. craftsman.
Pleace pleace pleeeeaaace. lets get some footish of the Abom on skies in Aspen. It would make my year. 😂🤣🤘😍 Thanks for the saturday funtime.
Sadly probably not going to happen unless he just stands on some dirt at the top of the hill. This time of year there is pretty much no snow to be found out that way. I wouldn't mind seeing him jump on one of those alpine coasters though. www.vail.com/explore-the-resort/activities-and-events/epic-discovery/epic-discovery-activities/forest-flyer-coaster.aspx Come on Abom we know you want to.
11:37 hahaha, you got us going "????? floating center-style?" lol
Put the seal area directly in the chuck.
I did that.
Chuck it lightly and take light cuts with a long arm tool.
Worked for me.
You're going to see some beautiful country on your trip. Enjoy!
Considering going up I59 heading towards Meridian! Loved the video you took of the tour last year, i've been past it several times, just never went.
Great machining as always, enjoy your time off. I can almost smell the ink on that brochure.
👌 A Master at his trade...Greetings from South Africa.😎
That gave me a good idea how to make a tool to fix my workpiece. Thanks Adam for a other great video
Hi Adam I see you talking about Starrett well I have a Starrett tool that you don’t have, it’s a 7 inch Starrett mill vise. I got it at a auction and it was so dirty you could not read the maker, I was very surprised when I cleaned it to find stamped on the top L.S. Starrett Co.
Thank you I am from Australia thank you very much but you have taught me a lot of things
Thanks for your videos! I always learn something from your videos. Keep up the good work!
Greatings from Sweden😀
Thanks for the good content you keep bringing. I've been watching a lot of your old videos and I got to say: while the old ones are a nice watch still, you just keep getting better at production. Also you've become more and more confident in front of the camera. You're looking so much better and inviting, that's a great feat! So today I decided to chip in a little bit each month via patreon, too. Keep it coming! Greetings from Germany!
Colorado Springs: Garden of the Gods and Cave of the Winds. The Great Sand Dunes aren't far from Mesa Verde. Telluride is spectacular. Have fun! I'm originally from CO but live in CA.
Shhh stop sending more people to my city!
I used to machine a lot of large conveyor drums with a sumitomo version of the same vertical insert tool , found them very good . .
Hello Sir! Greetings and best wishes from Bosnia, I like and prefer to use Starrett precision tool as well at my job in aviation maintenance. Take care and God bless you and all of your followers :)
Adam, really enjoyed your video & all the content hope you & Abby have a great vacation.!.!.!.
When you are visiting Mesa Verde, stop and eat at Gaspacho's in Durango. The best New Mexico style food in Colorado. I recommend the Carne Adovada Santa Fe Enchiladas!
Did I miss something here? The yoke runs on the splines and turns inside the seal so the seal surface should be concentric to the splined surface not offset to it. Did you think that the inside diameter of the splines isn't concentric with the outside diameter?
I was wondering if the ID of the splines was not exactly concentric to the splines themselves? It was only a few thou after all. When manufactured, the yoke would have been mounted on a splined mandrill to turn the OD.
@@TrevorDennis100 i believe the inner and outer dimensions were turned at the same time,and then the spines were broached,which may have upset the edges just a bit making them a wee bit off center.
Very enjoyable as always.
You could also have skinned this cat by mounting the yoke on your milling table and use a boring head "inside out".
Have a great vacation!
Harald
Now we know what your wingspan is. Keep up the good work Adam.
Enjoy colorado Adam! Beautiful state!! Catch it on the adventure channel!!
Top of the list for lathe knowledge channel, always learning, thanks.
That’s so cool, I figured you would have a thread die of some sort, I am mind blown you cut the threads with just a cut tool.
Thanks for the great videos. Have a good time in Colorado. Hope you get to ride on the Durango & Silverton and the Chumbres & Toltec Railroads. What do you use for cutting oil on the lathe?
