"I'm smarter than I was when I started"
That's the best quote I've heard in a long time 💯
It is nice to see the machining channels on TH-cam stick together, there seems to be a real sense of community :)
Mirodin We're all friends. It really is a amazing community of like minded people who have plenty to talk about.
Steve Summers all the guys in this little group all seem like really nice, stand up gentlemen imo. That sort of quality person tends to attract quality viewers and builds a quality community
I totally agree, everyone seems so kind and helpfull. Alot of the peoe on the channel do engineering as a day job and in their spare time , so they obviously have a passion, just like alot of viewers also. I have a small workshop at home and work in same environment too. Alot of people would have had enough of it by the time they get home, but im gagging to get out into the shop. 😀👍
That's a lot of shop knowledge between the two of you. But the best thing that you both do is share your knowledge with the world. Thanks guys.
Good video! Wow, your bride has lost some weight! Both of you look happy and healthy!
I realize Adam is a big boy but he is a giant when standing alongside you Steve. Congrats on a great greet and meet. Wish we were not so far away. Love watching your work.
I was happy to see that Abom did not steal your big tap wrench. It must have been a great temptation for him, but he was able to control himself. I am proud of him...
My 2 fave guys on youtube! Nice fellas, real nice.
Hello. Greatings from Germany. Very good work. Absolut! Learning by doing is the best you can do. And you have done it well.
It is wonderful that Elizabeth supports you in your interests and this channel. Please forward a thank you to her for sending me some stickers. Nice team work (in life and machining).
Just watching this. Adam is the man. I would love to visit with both of you guys at some point.
Ohh I like that comment when sharpening the tap. "We're smarter than before".
I am impressed Steve. It looks like you have been very busy educating yourself on both the tool grinder and tool geometry. This is a tool that will be very handy to have down the road.
A flute matched diameter mounted wheel in a die grinder, also works for sharpening an inked up tap held in a bench vise. For those that cant afford machine tools, using hand-tools in a careful manner accomplishes a lot of tasks.
Good on you Stevo. Great that you include your missus and veggie patch. All power to you both.
Hi it’s stacie! I love this video and I am happy that Adam stopped by! I love both of your channels!
Looks like you had a good time at the Meet and Greet, the TH-cam Machinist community is a great group to people. Thank you for the shout out, feel free to send the Shark River Machine stickers along to other viewers.
Adam sent me and glad he did. Sharpening that tap was cool and the first time seeing the process. Thanks.
Subscribed after I saw Adams visit video...
Another great video 👍🏻. It's cool to see all the things the tool grinder can do.
Musicalbullet Thanks man👍
Great job Steve, I really enjoy your videos, thank you.
Tom M. Thanks Tom👍
Another good video Steve. Garden is looking good. Always a treat when we get a chance to meet others in our community. Clean job on the tap. Grinder is working well I see. All the work is paying off. Thanks for sharing. 👍👍👍
Flathead Ron's Garage Thanks Ron👍

Nice to see you together hope you have fun
Great Video Steve! .... good to see you use the radius dresser, and that it worked! I am sure others have also, but I have picked up several lots of collets over the years, and have duplicates ..... let us know what you are missing! Great to see the garden! ... it made me miss my Mom, and the old cool basement full of wall to wall canned goodies .... from beets to mince meat!
Agree with you totally about all the Mom's out there who worked so hard at home to support the household. Mine was the same--canned fruit, vegetables, pork, fish---plus a winter's worth of potatoes--all in the basement. Thanks for jogging my memory back to 50+ years ago on the farm.

Nice of Abom to lend you a tap wrench! 😬 I am loving these sharpening videos. Never seen it done before, keep learning and sharing. Thank you.
Very nice job Steve. Good video.
Mike Nixon Thanks Mike👍
very cool. love the detail.
Thomas LaMora Thanks man👍 I appreciate it.
Nice job on the tap Steve! Looks like you are getting to know that grinder very well.
Steve
Nice job on the Tap. I need to work on getting something setup on the surface grinder to do that. Steve's hammer is great, I use mine almost everyday in the shop.
Thanks Randy, I agree. Steve's brass hammer is great size for common shop use. Hope everything is going ok with the house and stuff. I know you have been dealing with lots of unknowns. Thanks for stopping by Randy.
Morning Steve I have to say it (that hardwood floor needs to get done if mama ain't happy no one is) lol I'm in the same boat to busy to get everything done. Love the grinding I like that we can create something from nothing with continued trials perfection will come and I regret not being able to meet and greet Brian did say I missed a really good time and from the looks of your video I did, be safe my friend see ya on the next video😎
The content you upload is always really interesting and I could watch it for hours. The garden looks great. You guys can grow a lot of thing that I can’t living over here.
Thanks for uploading, say hi to your wife, Elizabeth, from me and you take care Steve.
*_Damn bro, that Standard Stick did a great job!_*
I like the video format where you mention something like that 5/32 wheel radius then cut over to show a clip of that. 👍 👌
Oh yes, the garden looks good! I wish we could grow a fair garden here in the desert, but it takes tons of water and water isn’t cheap here!
It may be childish, but since I am both an amateur machinist and a UK alumni... I. Love. You. DUDE!
That's awesome 👍
Nice video Steve - great sequence radius dressing the wheel. Looks like you got the tap regrinding method nailed - looking forward to your showing the split die procedure :-) All the best to you guys - you are both looking well all though I suspect slow progress on the hardwood flooring may take its toll on your ears :-) Cheers Buddy. Mat (Man Adam is not a small chap !)
lookcreations Thanks for stopping by Matt. Adam is a great guy, we had a lot of fun. Need to get that floor finished but finding the time is tough. I am sure you know all about it.
Thanks Steve! Nice job on the tap! Get Your fingers close to that grinder and you can dress Your nails up! LOL Your garden is doing great. I have had a couple little visitors, that have been taking out some of my plants. I am going to have to stop feeding the cat until he does his job.
Make your wife happy finish the floor! It's Ok if you miss a weekend video, we will understand.
Thanks again Steve!
Love the channel, Steve!
Good one Steve. Always thought Adam was taller than what he is.
Hey Steve! Great video. I finally got my grinder running again so I'm feeling anxious to get all the fixtures you have, now that I'm seeing better how they are used.
I don't mean to creep you out or anything, but if you go back and watch closely you'll see that during the meet and greet there's a beautiful woman standing at the far end of the near table, then later *the same woman* can be seen standing behind the corn *in your garden* staring at you. I don't know if she's *stalking* you, but it doesn't take a psychologist to see that she's really into you. 😉
Jon Miller That made me and my wife laugh 😂. Thanks Jon. They are tons of fixtures that go along with a tool grinder. I got lucky and got several with my little grinder. They can be kind of hard to find. Most get separated when a grinder gets sold. Most people don't even know what they are. Thanks for watching and commenting. Always good to see you over here.
Nice job on the tap! I wish I had a descent set of 5c collets. I have a cheap set from China, but I don’t use 5c’s very often. I use them in my mill when I use the horizontal quill and when I use in a collet block.
Awesome. I will send you a bunch of them you can sharping for me as practice. Lol. Great video
You should always use a precision stick, not a standard. lol I hope the storms yesterday didn't mess up your garden! You better get Elizabeth's hardwood installed before you start finding cut you messages again. lol
bcbloc02 LOL , I'm afraid. 😃. All my woods had in stock was standard sticks. The storms were BAD!. Only blew down a small amount of the corn. Got lucky I think.
Great share Steve , Keep that standard stick marked as such... so you don't grab it when you want a precision one..LOL..
Steve remember happy Wife happy life. Any of us who have a home shop know life gets in the way of shop time sometimes.I like your videos and learn from them thanks for doing them.I would like to see a video of the floor being put down, something different.Maybe your Wife can help with putting the videos together.
Hi Steve. A thought popped in my head while watching this video.
I wonder if it would be worth the time & effort to fabricate a spring loaded
Plunger to hold the work against the stop on the grinder. At the very least,
it would be one less thing to do while grinding intsead of holding it with your hand.
Nice video, I see you getting a lot of work your way on tool sharpening. Put down the floor, you got to keep the other half happy too. HA HA
Nice job on the tap. Even if you grind it undersize (thread diameter shrinking because of back relief) on a resharpen that can also be useful. On some nasty materials I like to rough out the threads with an undersize tap then chase them with a standard size. It cuts down on tap breakage.
Nice video Steve!
Nice job grinding the tap. I can see you doing spiral flutes next, not that different from some end Mills. Garden looks great
Looks great Steve, if you figure out a spiral flute tap, let me know. I have trashed a couple trying.
Shadon HKW I of course haven't tried it yet but I will give it a try. Great to see you Stan👍
No idea.. but think that would be a job for the ID head on a cylindrical grinder... relief would be a issue.. end up cheaper to buy a new tap. Small disk with the clearance you need .
You need a universal head.. to gain your clearance needed..
That tap wrench is almost as big as you Steve. Remind me to send you a can of weight gainer. :) I gave up on growing corn here. As soon as it was about ready the raccoons would show up in the middle of the night and destroy the whole crop. I would think you would have the same problem out your way?
Steve, I'm so sad I didn't make it. My German Shepherd got pneumonia and has an enlarged esophagus so I spent my trip cash on a visit to the doggie ER. She's doing better, but money only goes so far. Lol. I may be hauling some cars through your area for a friend, maybe we can work out a visit. Can I fit a 48' car trailer in your driveway? Lol
Badgermatt75 2016 Don't worry about not comming to the meet & greet. Family and furry guys come 1st. I completely understand. You can park in the grass across the road. No problem 👍
I want a ultrasonic but a bigger sized model . Those auto adjust tools tend to slip sideways but they work , I have a few , want a good wrench get one of the adjustable wrenches with the vise grip jaw they lock on and stay on. Just like vise grips. Good show thanks.
Nice video!
Use a wrench on the end of the tap to keep the pressure in the stop... keeps your fingers well away.
I think a wrench on the square of the tap might give you a little more control , get fingers in safe area .
Is that stick a.... "Brown And Sharpe"?! Buah ha haaaa! Oh God I love dad jokes...
Years ago I was forced to buy a ticket for a large meat raffle giveaway .
I was quite surprised when they called my number out.🤭
The peppers need full sun to thrive. If you have never tried stuffed zucchini blossoms, you should try frying some; stuff them with a mixture of corn meal and cheese You get larger zucchini if you take off some of the blossoms.
Hi Steve: I just watched one of your videos for the first time although I've been following the usual suspects for quite awhile (Abom79, MrPete, Lipton, Rucker, Fenner, etc.). I found your content very interesting, although I will probably take my cutters to a guy like you who is equipped and knowledgable. However, I was most impressed by your video production. Well scripted and interesting topic. Good pace-not too slow or fast. Also quality of video is excellent. What video cameras do you use? What editing software? Very nicely done, thanks.
The lead on some taps need to be sharpened themselves with a cam fixture used on grinding machines
Yes for the lead relief. He mentioned the tap was relieved radially like up the full length so the diameter of the tap will change a minimal amount. I used a mic to try and find how much of a relief if any was used and I couldn't find a measurable amount on the few I had measured. Do you know if they all have the relief cut in that way? It makes sense to me that there is a limited amount to clean up before the tap would become un stable but I wanna know how far they could be taken before the threads come out tight.
Great video. Do you ever pickle zucchinis? I,ve never heard of that but since we have been getting a lot of them I thought it might fly. We have pickled water Mellon rind and it was good! Keep up the good work and get that flooring down! If mamma ain't happy, no one is happy, Greg.
Only special taps have radial relief the whole length of the tap. I have made odd taps in a pinch out of O-1 and that is not how you sharpen a tap. All the work is being done at the lead of the tap. The rest of the tap is along for the ride. Most shops just cut the lead off and re-sharpen.
just seen a 10 foot by 4 foot angle plate on e bay with the g & l borers - who will buy it first Adam or Brian !!!
With the possibility of a mixup over which faces had been done, Id've added a 1 2 3 4 with a Sharpie to that square shank.
What are the fixturing devices on either end called? I have a 6X18 surface grinder and lots of taps, and end mills that need sharpened. Thanks for posting and sharing.
Nice video! Hey now you can fix those wonky 5C collets, just resize them with your grinder! Has Mrs. Summers started her welding channel yet? :)
Whaaaat!? I'm not the only one teasing about Elizabeth's Welding channel. I saw that glean in her eyes. She was itching to get on that welder. haha. Thanks for the vid Steve.
Steve, you could be on the path to a nice side line sharpening cutting tools.
Question. Would you also be able to regrind reamers using the same set up with a flat profile wheel?
Thought I'd mention, for all you who are just starting and have few tools or little money, you can sharpen a lot of these carbide tools with a set of diamond needle files. It's not that great but it'l work in a pinch.
Was that a standard hardwood, or softwood, stick. Anything but Shoemake!! We learn by doing. Leaning without doing is a waste of education. You should eat good this winter. Rub it in, I was trying for that hammer! LOL Great video.
This looks like a lot of fun to learn the setups and how things are made. Do you think you'll continue to sharpen things like taps and end mills even after the newness wears off?
TheArsonsmith4242 Yeah, I believe so. I enjoy using the machine just like the shaper and all the other stuff I have.👍
Great video! Found my way here thru Adam... Any experience sharpening step bits/uni bits? Not as easy as I thought it would have been…
HELLO,u tap with a bottom tap,bottom taps are only suppose thread the last 3 or 4 threads in bottom of hole,use a plug tap on a blind hole first then use a bottom tap seeing u were tapping a thru hole use a gun tap,,trust me on this,i operated a HBM,with digital controls and with out digital controls,first HBM I operated didn't even have,an X and Y readout,the digital control LUCAS had W,X,Y and Z,all 4 axis were digital control,question for u , using a 1/2 -13 tap, spindle speed 130 rpms,using tap cycle what would be my federate????
WHEN SHARPENING THAT TAP, I WOULD BE TEMPTED TO USE A WRENCH ON THE FLATS OF THE SQUARE SHANK TO KEEP MY HAND(S) FURTHER FROM THE WHEEL.
Steve makes his millions selling "standard sticks" on esty to machinist world wide.
hammer1212 You can now get them in metric. 😃 $29.95 for a small bag.
I ran out of pickling lime and could not find any in the stores. Order some from amazon and they lost the order on the day it was supposed to be delivered. If it doesn't arrive soon, I am going to lose about 40 pounds of pickles; this makes me angry and sad. Thanks for the videos.
What I can do if the wearing of grinder wheel was fast ?
Thanks for your instructions ♥️
You should have used a spanner on the flats to turn and hold it .. keep your digits a bit safer .. :)
I see you found use for your small tap wrench lol,
Paul Koomen Yeah works great for those larger taps👍
nice... how to keep hand out of tap grininng wheel ues a medium weight ajustible rench on square end for down pressure .. hope that help
Steve, I love your videos! I appreciate all the information you give! You’re a very talented machinist! My one complaint (take it or leave it) please consider moving your microphone away from your throat. Hearing you swallow just gives me the chills! Regardless I’m still going to watch your channel simply a suggestion! Please keep the videos rolling Steve! Thanks Tyler
Sharpening starts at 12:20
That standard stick looks nice, does mcmaster carry those?
hi I just watched Tony's video about grinding. He says it's much safer if you grinde from "pushing out" side, not from "pulling in". Is it possible to change rotation direction in your machine?
👍
Your a genuine nice guy. Very knowledgeable and mean well.
Stop trying so hard and be you just like you already are basically except for 5-10% of you content. That small percent shows more than the majority of your greatness!
I’m being very dickish because I wish someone would have told me sooner brother.
No hate! Just none of my business FYI that I’m willing to say since It did so much for me and my relationships. Your such a nice guy very few if any folks would drop These truth bombs.
Your lying wife hates your circa 1907 beard, she doesn’t want to hurt your feelings. Shave it! (If you want) “as u would say”
Ha ha.. all that was a serious joke no worries!! Buddy! Seriously relax and be yourself even though you’ll say you are. U got it brother all the good stuff just shed those few un- natural actions and be yourself.
Signed, this old tony under a fake user account:):)
Wade LOL, I am a nice guy and have always been exactly who I am in real life on video. Thanks for "The truth bomb" 😃My wife is the one who wants me keep the beard. I appreciate your concern but I think we have everything under control over here. No hard feelings. 👍
So, it's not just Georgians who say they "bugger" things up. Lol
If you are worried about reducing the diameter why not regrind it as a spiral point tap instead.
Can you link the cutting tool channel you mention
Adam is a big boy next to you. He probably eats burritos the size of you for breakfast
👍
I hope that's a standard Metric stick, and not a standard Imperial stick !!
Paddy
Height. Not heighth
you better get those floors in or your wifes going to put you in the shaper.
You need to introduce your wife...............z
I Am sapper Man give ME job
Your wife is lovely.
I think what you could with now, Steve, is one of those special magnifiers, so that you can accurately see the effects of your grinding technique.
