We contract with a company that does disposal. (we have to pay for some things -- antifreeze, etc. -- and they pay us for some things -- reprocessable oil, etc. One of my shop renters converted a fuel oil heater to burn used (filtered) motor oil; so the stuff we know is clean (i.e. oil we dumped from our cars) he can burn.
At a company I used to work for, we had a wringer set-up to wring the oil out of the pig mats into a barrel. There was also the same setup to wring out the water absorbent mats out. We re-used the mats several times. Saved a lot of money and kept a lot of stuff out of the landfill. We recycled all kinds of materials. We were a zero-sum ISO facility, meaning we took in more monies from recycling than our waste cost us for disposal.
I'm surprised that they can even cover the transport cost, let alone make a profit. I guess having cheap land, cheap power and good automation is very important?
Another superb video. A while ago I told you your channel was my favorite for machining. Not only is the content interesting but the way you film and edit are just way above anyone else. The scene transition and information you provide along with the camera angles, lighting and every other aspect show how much thought goes into it all. Also your editing doesnt leave anything out or include too much. Abom, its just so damn good brother! Thank you!....P.S. Keep up the multi uploads per week. Lovin it.
Though you could never call me an enviro-wacko, it is nice you included the bits about liquid waste management and storage. Our environment already has enough problems we need to figure out leave aside some of the chem's you, and millions of others, use daily. My dad and lots of other relatives used to just throw them on the ground, so I guess there is progress after all. The rack and pinion were just eye candy.
Admitting AND showing mistakes separates the wheat from the chaff... I've been a machinist all my life, not much I can't do, but being perfect isn't one of them. Rock on A Bomb and thanks for keeping it real.
I gotta tell you, the main reason I enjoy your video series, my father started his career as a machinist. He was accurate to a fault. He espoused many of the values and worth ethic that you do. But,... more than anything else, you share the same general build that he had. The dexterity of your hands, the build of your forearms. It must be indicative of a machinist, a combination of strength vs fine motor skills. It’s like being in the company of my late (and much missed) father all over again. Thanks, and keep posting.
If I were a young person who dreamed of becoming a machinist I would pay close attention to your work, especially given your educational attitude. You are jewel for such a person!
Excellent recycling information and your organisation, storage, and containment of oils, cleaners and fuels is something every homeowner should be responsible for, adopt and keep track of...👍
I'm an "almost retired" tradesman, I worked in multiple trades. I'm not politicaly correct, I'm not an eviromentalist. BUT I always have kept used oil and flamables safley and separatley stored like this. My Dad taught me on the farm, there was ALWAYS some reuse for these products.
I keep running out of space cause I don't throw anything out. With enough knowledge of chemistry, you can reuse basically any waste product in some way, it just depends whether it's practical or not.
You might not be, however you should give good thought on being so. Everybody can always take more responsibility and be a better person. This isn't to label anybody as being a bad person, just that there's always a better way.
Wonderful video as usual. Very informative. I enjoyed your comment on the "Grabiness" of bronze...Yes, it does! Very relaxing to watch a true "hands-on" craftsman at work. Keep the wonderful videos coming! Thank you!
Regarding your waste oil storage, there are some folks, mainly from environmental services etc, who take a dim view of re using old containers for waste products especially when the original label is still on the drum. the guy who pulled me up on this was quite happy for me to either remove it or cover it with tape. great video.
Hello from Ireland. Just found your channel today; and just wanted to say this is some excellent workmanship. Very enjoyable to watch. Thanks for sharing.
Really fun to hear how you easily switch from inch to metric. I remember some time back when you after a calculation said "for you metric guys" with a little smerk. Greetings from Sweden (metric guy).Never had an interest in machining until I say your channel. Keep up the god work and stay proud of your craftmanship.
Mr Adam. Been getting caught up on your videos from beginning. Sorry to hear about your Dad. I lost my best friend and Dad almost 35 years ago. Not a day that goes by I don't miss him. Like your Dad he taught me how to be honest and work hard to do my best. He also taught me how to run big equipment which I still do today. Back in 2011 was in truck fire and didn't want my boys to be without their Dad so I fought to stay alive. Been long road and lots of surgeries but still here and working every day which I heard doctors say I would never be able to work. Proved them wrong. Was able to see my boys graduate from college first in my family to go to college and graduate. They still love their Dad. That's what kept me fighting. But sorry to hear about your Dad
in Australia we do the same kind of drop off but limited quantities, and for my used oil i asked one of the waste oil recyclers that visits the mechanic near me and empties a 55 gallon drum for free when ive filled it. also, awesome work as usual adam
I love those table/lifts from Harbor Freight. I'm an appliance tech and use them as wall oven lifts. I can slide the wall oven right onto the lift and move the wall oven any way I need.
I learn something new every time I watch an Abom video. I liked the way you cut that radius. I also liked the way you grilled those fish fillets! Wow. Thanks for the update.
Would be really cool to be able to see the end product reassembled and in action. You've had a few and it's very interesting. As a former Toolmaker, I really enjoy your content!
As a 'Yet to be' hobby machinist (Not far to retirement) watching content like this is inspiring, but I wonder where the line between machining and art is. You seem to be able to both at once. Thank you for sharing :-).
I don't want to take any credit per se, but I do remember asking about 2-3 years ago if you could show us how scrap or waste is dealt with. Thank you in advance for touching on it. Sometimes it is the practically mundane aspects of life that others find so fascinating!
My mate has a "log burner" that burns engine oil. It has a massive tank with filters, magnets and some other clever stuff. He owns a garage so always has lots of old (and some new) waste engine oil. The doors are only rarely shut even in winter - the burner keeps the workshops like miami, and heats the water even when it's below freezing out. And it meets all the clean air regs. He says it pays for itself in the money he doesn't spend disposing of the oil, let alone the savings on the heating.
Joe Pie has an excellent method for setting boring heads. Even I can follow it and the results are within 0.0005" without any problem. Well worth a look-see
Hey Adam, to dispense cleaners and some oils I use empty liquid detergent bottles (Tide, Kirkland). The ones that have a press button valve. They set flat on the shelf with the valve on the bottom sticking out. Just put a container under the valve and press the button. Very convenient.
Hey abom on the used oil I built a duel tank system with auto motive filters using 2 large diesel filter for a old shop I worked with saved a tone of money. Dirty tank- large particulate- small particulate- pump- clean tank. Filters are very cheap. Also has a chip screen on a corner if the dirty tank were you dump the dirty into the tank
I wonder if I would have known about machining when I was a kid if I would have gone down that road. I went into healthcare as a dentist but this seems like it's more fun to me
Another thing to be concerned about when storing any chemicals is fire mitigation. Most of those solvents are mildly to extremely flammable (it should say on the container you bought it in.) Some are more volatile than others (that is, the temperature at which they evaporate, and the quantity of pressurized gas produced, varies by compound.) It’s also helpful to know what sort of fire suppression equipment/chemicals will extinguish a fire caused by these materials burning. It goes without saying; get a smoke alarm and check the battery once a year. Not only in your home, but out in the shop, too! Where you store the chemicals is important, too. Are you storing them in a climate-controlled shed (i.e. A/C in the summer, heating in the winter), or are they exposed to extremes of temperature (and possibly humidity)? Thermal expansion/contraction can cause failure of the storage vessel, or cause the cap to work loose over time. This could cause a build-up of vapors in the storage shed/garage, leading to a fire hazard. Please people, stay safe, and check your local/city/state fire codes for how to store these, and for how long! 🙂
Those high lift carts are remarkably useful. I used to use one from time to time that I would borrow from another area at work, mostly for changing punch boxes. Our toolmaker told me one was up for grabs and suggested that I get it assigned to myself as personal equipment. It had been used for a job we stopped doing. Since I always have it I've found uses for it that I wouldn't have thought of or bothered with before. In addition to installing, uninstalling and putting away heavy fixtures I often put crates of parts I'm working on at a convenient height so I don't have to bend over so much, I use it as an adjustable work surface, the list just goes on and on. And I don't get nearly as many backaches as I did.
I have made parts like that before, I bored the bar in the middle and split the bar to get a pair. Then just faced off to get the depth. 1 hole 1 cut to split...UK v USA lol
Wow, with the laws on waste storage and disposal being so hard to comply with reliably, that is one subject that I would never address on a youtube. I'm not saying you did or said anything wrong, but you're much braver than me in showing your own practices to the world.
In Seattle, waste oil will be picked up curb side every other week. Free. They also dispose of the containers. It has to be a screw cap, usually one gallon. LABELED! We also have a haz mat site for other stuff. Fluorescent tubes, etc. Not far from me.
Unless prohibited by local law Advance Auto Parts takes used oil for free. That includes motor oil, hydraulic oil, transmission fluid, brake fluid. Pretty much anything petroleum based. But of course call and ask before hauling it down to the store.
Digging the hazmat organization. "Organization is the key to Management!" Most petroleum products have a recycling fee added to the cost. It's only a few pennies per quart. So, the automobile parts stores love to take your used oil...they cash in on the recycling fees AND $ for the value of the raw material. WIN-WIN! You might research continuous centrifugal liquid separation. Most contaminants and dissimilar materials can be separated, with no fuss. The separated units come out clear! The last step to reuse is adding a PH conditioner and purpose adjuncts.... Chemistry 101.
When I first saw the job I had thought that you were going to mill a hole and then split the brass into two pieces bisecting the bored hole. Would that have been more difficult?
The big tanks at the landfills are likely sold or provided to a local refinery that simply adds it to the crude. It helps liquefy the crude and comes out as new oil in the fracking tower.
Just a thought Adam - you're storing all those items together on a pallet - why not get a bunded pallet to sit them on - allows you to move them with a pallet truck still, but gives some protection against a container splitting.
On the oil stuff another suggestion is, some of your fuel delivery companies some of them have oil delivery truck also. You’ll have to call and see some of them have a waste oil tank sat up for the public to dump their waste oil and old fuel in for free. Also check around for oil recycling places many of them are picking it up for free has to be a large amount, but some of them have a place to you can dump it or leave a bucket of oil at.
I'm not a machinist myself, but wow, that bronze looked so nice to machine. Having just watched the latest Blondiehacks video where she turned some mystery steel that cut hot, wouldn't break the chips, and had hard spots in it... Quite a contrast.
we have a lifting table at work for a large vibration test fixture we need to move on/off our tester. We added a sheet of UHMW polyethylene (or something similar to that) on the top and it made a world of difference sliding the fixture. Might be a good addition to your cart.
One summer in highschool me and a school mate got a weekend job nearby helping a 18 wheeler truck driver give his truck full maintenance, oil change, adjust brakes and wash. We were having a great time until when we asked where his conainer for the 13 gallons of used motor oil was. The guy told us to go out back and we would see a pit. We went out there and saw a HUGE hole in the ground by his back fence..... he lived in a regular subdivision. We quit on the spot when we saw him dump it all in there. He did that every week for years. Just a hole, no liner, no nothing. It was by a transformer... we figured he would get caught eventually.
Thanks for the interesting video. I am not a machinist, but I enjoy the geometry. Also, thanks for the encouragement to treat oils, chemicals and hazardous materials seriously and carefully. Let me commend you on your penmanship. Labels are wonderful things, and a label becomes useless if the person who wrote it cannot later read it. Believe me, it happens. When I do the bulk container v. use container system you use with some fluids, in addition to clear labels, I also like to color code the small (point of use) containers to help me avoid putting the wrong fluid to a particular use. For example, at a camp site, white gas fuel is not drinking water. You said you were looking for a can like the red one in the video, and as I hope you can find one, I also hope you can find a blue one, or yellow, green, etc. I know this does not work for everyone, like my color blind grandfather and color blind brother, but the color difference helps me. Thanks again for the video.
Hey Adam still love your content best machine videos on UA-cam! I'm sure you may have looked into this before but if not I had an idea for you I know it doesn't really get cold for too long down there and the amount of used oil and stuff you have from the machines you could probably get by a whole winter with a oli burning heater, for the shop just a suggestion to throw out there for ya. Again great content keep doing what you are doing!!!!!!
As a kid, I used to enjoy watching New Yankee Workshop and How It's Made. As an adult, I enjoy watching Abom79.
Same
Me too brother
Amen
Yep
What was that woodwright guy was another good one
Proper disposal of organic solvents is a big deal, and it's so nice to hear someone in your profession who takes it seriously. Mad respect.
We contract with a company that does disposal. (we have to pay for some things -- antifreeze, etc. -- and they pay us for some things -- reprocessable oil, etc. One of my shop renters converted a fuel oil heater to burn used (filtered) motor oil; so the stuff we know is clean (i.e. oil we dumped from our cars) he can burn.

I'm surprised that they can even cover the transport cost, let alone make a profit. I guess having cheap land, cheap power and good automation is very important?
You are the king of neat and organized cleanliness.

For the used Kerosene, use a large cone shaped coffee filter to filter the particles out before using it to wipe down equipment.
Though you could never call me an enviro-wacko, it is nice you included the bits about liquid waste management and storage.

Thank you for showing us your mistakes and or inconsistency's in how you work. It means a lot.
Admitting AND showing mistakes separates the wheat from the chaff... I've been a machinist all my life, not much I can't do, but being perfect isn't one of them. Rock on A Bomb and thanks for keeping it real.

It’s like being in the company of my late (and much missed) father all over again.
Thanks, and keep posting.
A treat especial: Abom working in metric
40 Units Science!
But he did not have a common size drill bit, he still had to dig out some random fraction drill size ;)
If I were a young person who dreamed of becoming a machinist I would pay close attention to your work, especially given your educational attitude. You are jewel for such a person!
Love all you do Adam people like you make my life worth living I'm disabled so you help me keep up the awesome work
Damn what I wouldn’t give to have a father teach me the things your father taught you growing up.
Thanks for sharing.
Excellent recycling information and your organisation, storage, and containment of oils, cleaners and fuels is something every homeowner should be responsible for, adopt and keep track of...👍
Your a great machinist, great on camera presence, great camera work, love the videos!!!!!!!

We have a used oil furnace. A summers worth + of oil = a winter of free heating oils.Love that steering fix rh

I find these videos to be informative and somehow soothing.
Hello from Ireland. Just found your channel today; and just wanted to say this is some excellent workmanship. Very enjoyable to watch. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks Adam. I always enjoy machining copper alloys.

This is Precision TV! It's fun to watch. Never seen this kinda work done. Expanding my mind here.
Welcome! Abom has SOO much content. It’s incredible.
No Abom79-stamp? As a northern European, hearing Abom talking millimeters makes me almost giddy. 😁
Another great video Adam. I especially enjoyed the pre-setting of the boring head. Simple, yet effective - Thanks
Nice job Adam good to see you delving into the realms of metric!
Nice job Abom! I love how your always going the extra mile to ensure the parts you make are absolutely perfect 👌🏼
My mate has a "log burner" that burns engine oil. It has a massive tank with filters, magnets and some other clever stuff. He owns a garage so always has lots of old (and some new) waste engine oil. The doors are only rarely shut even in winter - the burner keeps the workshops like miami, and heats the water even when it's below freezing out. And it meets all the clean air regs.

I have some red snapper to give away to family in the freezer right now...that cut to the fish was lovely.
Joe Pie has an excellent method for setting boring heads. Even I can follow it and the results are within 0.0005" without any problem. Well worth a look-see
Pierre Dimnottle can you post a link to an example vid? Cheers friend
Hey Adam, to dispense cleaners and some oils I use empty liquid detergent bottles (Tide, Kirkland). The ones that have a press button valve. They set flat on the shelf with the valve on the bottom sticking out. Just put a container under the valve and press the button. Very convenient.
Yes! I use them also for cleaners, oils, and one for water for use in the shop. They work great for filling other containers or for wetting a rag.
Awesome Job - as always Adam!
Oh, and loved the grilling segment at the end!!! Hope is was as delicious as it looked - man!
Great work Adam. I always enjoy watching your videos. I always learn something new. Thank you for sharing.
Stayed for the feed of fish. Always a pleasure watching.
Hey abom on the used oil I built a duel tank system with auto motive filters using 2 large diesel filter for a old shop I worked with saved a tone of money.
Dirty tank- large particulate- small particulate- pump- clean tank.
Filters are very cheap. Also has a chip screen on a corner if the dirty tank were you dump the dirty into the tank
Hi Adam, always a pleasure to see your jobs. Great stills at the end too. Thanks for sharing. Take care
Used to love working on brass. Such a nice metal.
Brass is grabby as all hell when not using correct rake angles! I'm sure bronze is friendlier.
Nice work adam. Always enjoy your videos.
A little asmr there with the deburr/sanding and cooking the fish at the end lol. Love watching you work Abom. Entertaining and motivating!
I figured you would put a hole directly in the middle of the park and then cutting it in half so you have two identical from each other
Kudos! I have never had great success plunge cutting an end mill using a lathe. Great job!
I wonder if I would have known about machining when I was a kid if I would have gone down that road. I went into healthcare as a dentist but this seems like it's more fun to me
Enjoyed the metric content as I could actually follow along on this one. Also guessed the radius depth was 8 mm before you measured it !
Abom using metric on his DRO. The world has truly gone crazy.
@@gregmizell7861 the units switch on DRO or calipers is the fastest way to get an exact conversion!
I find remembering that a foot is the same length as the average school ruler (30cm) is useful. But I still can't follow the thousandths stuff
@@SkigBiggler If you use the 1/10 per inch it it easy to convert to .ooi" Carl Bliim Australia.
As always good video. I'm waiting for you to post an ABom bloopers show. Got to show the good and the bad/funny.
Another thing to be concerned about when storing any chemicals is fire mitigation. Most of those solvents are mildly to extremely flammable (it should say on the container you bought it in.)

Should be stored in a flammables cabinet but .. hey .. maybe he has good insurance.
Those high lift carts are remarkably useful. I used to use one from time to time that I would borrow from another area at work, mostly for changing punch boxes. Our toolmaker told me one was up for grabs and suggested that I get it assigned to myself as personal equipment. It had been used for a job we stopped doing. Since I always have it I've found uses for it that I wouldn't have thought of or bothered with before.

And I don't get nearly as many backaches as I did.
That graphite impregnated bronze machines beautifully 😎
I have made parts like that before, I bored the bar in the middle and split the bar to get a pair.
Then just faced off to get the depth. 1 hole 1 cut to split...UK v USA lol
back up for the hole is a heavy spring to set preload for rack to pinion preload
Wow, with the laws on waste storage and disposal being so hard to comply with reliably, that is one subject that I would never address on a youtube. I'm not saying you did or said anything wrong, but you're much braver than me in showing your own practices to the world.

Stone Ave. N. & 126th ish. Less than 10 minutes from me. Yep, 1 gallon at a time limit, but better than nothing. Rich...Seattle
A plastic bunded oil container storage pallet would be nice to contain any potential burst or split containers leaking everywhere in your shed 👍
Around here people *pay* for used oil. Oil burners are popular for shop heat.
Now crude has come down from 150 a barrel, nobody wants it anymore
Unless prohibited by local law Advance Auto Parts takes used oil for free. That includes motor oil, hydraulic oil, transmission fluid, brake fluid. Pretty much anything petroleum based. But of course call and ask before hauling it down to the store.
Always nice watching Adam polishing some dudes rod.
Adam, Really enjoyed watching and great content thanks for sharing your video.!.!.!.
You take damn good care of your tools
As you had to make 2 of why not bore a hole in the middle then part or cut it across the hole? Both radii done in 1 operation!
Amazing video quality footage. 👍
this scratching sound... very satisfying ^^
Close-up shots are great, some slo-mo of that fine swarf cascading off the tool would be cool too. Great video, and you made me hungry at the end!
Digging the hazmat organization. "Organization is the key to Management!" Most petroleum products have a recycling fee added to the cost. It's only a few pennies per quart. So, the automobile parts stores love to take your used oil...they cash in on the recycling fees AND $ for the value of the raw material. WIN-WIN! You might research continuous centrifugal liquid separation. Most contaminants and dissimilar materials can be separated, with no fuss. The separated units come out clear! The last step to reuse is adding a PH conditioner and purpose adjuncts.... Chemistry 101.
You can get heating furnaces that can burn waste oil. One of the repair shops near me has one and we drop off our waste there for them to burn.
He lives in Florida, shops in Florida don't have heating systems lol
In Florida not much need for heaters LOL but up here in Canada we use them
Thanks man fore using Metric this episode. Greetings from Holland.
i like this Saturday night special extra footage! :D Gentle Giant makes nice metal stuff and after yummy grills! :D:D:D:D
Great job Adam! That turned out really nice. Thanks for all the hard work.
When I first saw the job I had thought that you were going to mill a hole and then split the brass into two pieces bisecting the bored hole. Would that have been more difficult?
Hey buddy just wanted to say stay safe during the storm.
The big tanks at the landfills are likely sold or provided to a local refinery that simply adds it to the crude. It helps liquefy the crude and comes out as new oil in the fracking tower.
Another interesting project there, thankyou for showing us this job.
Just a thought Adam - you're storing all those items together on a pallet - why not get a bunded pallet to sit them on - allows you to move them with a pallet truck still, but gives some protection against a container splitting.
Your videos make me wanna quit my automotive engineering/ cad design career and become a machinist.
Be a machinist they said, it will be easy they said. LOL
Up north every auto repair shop will take your used oil. They use it in their fuel oil furnace. Provides them free heat in the winter.
On the oil stuff another suggestion is, some of your fuel delivery companies some of them have oil delivery truck also. You’ll have to call and see some of them have a waste oil tank sat up for the public to dump their waste oil and old fuel in for free. Also check around for oil recycling places many of them are picking it up for free has to be a large amount, but some of them have a place to you can dump it or leave a bucket of oil at.
Love your work.
Man, wouldn't it be awesome to have the SloMo guys come in and do some shots of all that milling?
Great job Adam, from the UK
I'm not a machinist myself, but wow, that bronze looked so nice to machine. Having just watched the latest Blondiehacks video where she turned some mystery steel that cut hot, wouldn't break the chips, and had hard spots in it... Quite a contrast.
Even on my "toy" lathe, bronze is really easy to machine. just need sharp tools.
Also he did mention that it oil impregnated bronze, so its self lubricating
this hydraulic table is so useful at work i have used it many many times
we have a lifting table at work for a large vibration test fixture we need to move on/off our tester. We added a sheet of UHMW polyethylene (or something similar to that) on the top and it made a world of difference sliding the fixture. Might be a good addition to your cart.
You might want to look into a 'paint locker' .. Seen two times this prevented a big fire ..
So conscientious. My father used to dump the junk on road claiming it was "dust control." I never liked that.

@@MartinInAmsterdam Good example of what not to do
One summer in highschool me and a school mate got a weekend job nearby helping a 18 wheeler truck driver give his truck full maintenance, oil change, adjust brakes and wash. We were having a great time until when we asked where his conainer for the 13 gallons of used motor oil was. The guy told us to go out back and we would see a pit. We went out there and saw a HUGE hole in the ground by his back fence..... he lived in a regular subdivision. We quit on the spot when we saw him dump it all in there. He did that every week for years. Just a hole, no liner, no nothing. It was by a transformer... we figured he would get caught eventually.
@@MartinInAmsterdam Holy hell! Thanks for sharing.
Another great one Adam!! The only improvement I would make would be to put a bull nose grind on a chunk of tool steel and use the shaper!! 🤣
I love the way brass chips. Really powdery.
Thanks for the interesting video. I am not a machinist, but I enjoy the geometry. Also, thanks for the encouragement to treat oils, chemicals and hazardous materials seriously and carefully. Let me commend you on your penmanship. Labels are wonderful things, and a label becomes useless if the person who wrote it cannot later read it. Believe me, it happens. When I do the bulk container v. use container system you use with some fluids, in addition to clear labels, I also like to color code the small (point of use) containers to help me avoid putting the wrong fluid to a particular use. For example, at a camp site, white gas fuel is not drinking water. You said you were looking for a can like the red one in the video, and as I hope you can find one, I also hope you can find a blue one, or yellow, green, etc. I know this does not work for everyone, like my color blind grandfather and color blind brother, but the color difference helps me. Thanks again for the video.
Another fine job.
Nice little quick project.
Good job Adam 👍👍.
Hey Adam still love your content best machine videos on UA-cam! I'm sure you may have looked into this before but if not I had an idea for you I know it doesn't really get cold for too long down there and the amount of used oil and stuff you have from the machines you could probably get by a whole winter with a oli burning heater, for the shop just a suggestion to throw out there for ya. Again great content keep doing what you are doing!!!!!!
