- Опубліковано 29 вер 2024
- 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 UA-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.

The Good of the Land , ah thank you!
@@jcsuperstars1100 You bet!
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.
"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.
For non US viewers (I'm UK) that's very useful to see on each page of the catalogue for the different departments, to see where that state is located.
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? 😊
Hey that’s cool, I used to work in a CNC shop that made those slip yokes.
I see it is August 2019 - next year you will have a surface plate with a nice square and round hole to be chucked up and turned. Mount 4 holes and align to center. Easy job next year.
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 !!
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.
Thanks Adam this is the kind of content I love to watch
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.
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.
Beautiful work! Love watching your videos! Enjoy your vacation, I can’t wait to visit Colorado one of these days.
Since your going to the good of the land fest. If you got time suggest running through Shreveport, it's a about a hour self tour through the Shreveport Water Works Museum, and Railroad Museum.
Man...you sure are good at machining and speaking.
Thanks Adam
Talented man.love watching you.
I live about 45 minutes from Mesa Verde (may-suh) right now. It's a busy time to go but the good news is that you may get to hear thunder rolling through the canyons there
Really interesting to watch, thank you and enjoy your holiday.
Enjoy your holiday!
Would be awesome to see a tour of a company that still makes things in the good old U.S. of A.
I love how you work things out!
Abom, you and your Bride should come up to Glacier Park. Beautiful country in NW Montana while your heading north. Hit me up, I'll see about run you around the park. Another good job would be to spray brass on the old yoke and turn it back down to specs.
Really neat project, Adam. Thanks for sharing. For a second I thought you were going to use your “invisible center” to hold your work in place.
Ha everybody needs a vacation, go have fun!!!!
Nice to see the run through of work-holding options, great content again👍👍
Amazing
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?
I love to watch the chips fly!
Damn good work man
Thank you enjoyed vidio
Adam, when you come to Massachusetts, are you planning to hit Boston or any of the sights to the east? I'd love to grab a beer with you if you're up for it.
I will also be at the Good of the Land Fest.
6 foot banner, looks like a tea towel in the hands of Adam! :-D
That recycled shaft looks familiar, was it from one of your Random Machining projects? I've been binging on your channel lately and enjoy all the great content. Cool shop decoration.
Certainly looks like an old electric motor rotor shaft....
When using the dial indicator to zero the run-out, the dial is usually washed out and we can't see the needle. This is my favorite part and it makes me sad that I can't see it.
Quick video idea: change your pads and *machine* your rotors!
When you’re cutting the threads for the nut, why do you adjust the cut depth at the compound instead of the cross slide?
Adam I would love to see some faceplate and dog work, thanks.
Always nice to get that blast thou out! LOL - At 7:55, what type of tool and insert are you using?? 1.312, BULLSEYE! "That's Nice" on the thread fit as DB would say. Great work holding technique.
Do you keep the pieces you make to hold work pieces like you made in this video?
Hello could you tell me what kind of insert you used in the video for roughing
Hiya Adam
Amazing
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 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.
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 😎
Meesa Verde? Adam... buddy... May-suh. 😁 Enjoy my state!
You are lookin sharp, man! Keep killin that diet.
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.
Nice holiday , grtz from the Netherlands 🇳🇱
I learn à lot from your channel!
I'm assuming the ID and OD were meant to be concentric, in which case I don't think much of the factory's machining tolerances.
Maybe a small runout isn't that critical?
This is definitely a non-critical fit. No big deal.
@@Trident_Euclid Doesn't look good though, does it.
it's only a sealing surface, but yeah should be more concentric
I was a little confused as to WHY it was needed to offset the work a couple of thou, figuring that surely it would be better to machine concentric to the bore, then I realised that the first part of the oil seal surface was already at the finished diameter so that HAD to be the standard...
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.
So machining is just like painting... 80% of the work is in the prep/setup.
Don't worry about missing a video we ain't going anywhere enjoy yourselves!👍
Starrett would be an awesome marketing partner! It looked like the old yoke could have been saved by using a Speedi-sleeve
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.
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.
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.
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!
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.
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
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 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 👍 👍
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.)
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.
I 👍🏻 all of your SNS before I even watch them
Hi Adam! I gave your channel a shout-out on the Project Farm channel about the WD-40 brand rust remover you recently did a video on, cleaning some hand tools. Anyway, now the circle is complete, and I gave his channel (Project Farm) a shout-out, too. Go check it out! He kind of reminds me of John Saunders, from NYC CNC, personality-wise. Mostly he does videos on small, gas engines, and compares various brands of “stuff” you might find around the shop; cleaners, adhesives, fasteners, oils & greases, rust removers/inhibitors, and so on. Anyway, worth a few minutes to watch, for anyone who works in a shop environment. 😊
Thanks, I’ll check him out. 👍🏻
Adam I'm in Colorado right on that stretch of I 70! I'm right by Georgetown. I'd really like to meet up and show you my shop I'm building. Please message me.
Please help Adam see this guys. I'd really like to meet him
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. 😝
Abom mandrels are better quality than most others finished work. Great job Adam 👍🏻
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.
I used to machine a lot of large conveyor drums with a sumitomo version of the same vertical insert tool , found them very good . .
You thread more mechanically than some CNC's I've seen!! Simply amazing.
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”?
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.
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!

Hi Abom,
When you were cutting the threads on your mandrill, I noticed you fed the cross slide which seems normal to me, but then you also fed the compound slide a very small amount after each pass. What is the purpose of feeding the compound while it was on an angle?
Thanks,
Newbie hobby machinist.
The compound is usually set abou 1/2 degree less than one side of the thread, in most cases 29.5 degrees, and you use the compound to advance the depth of cut. This allows the tool to mostly cut only on one side, which is easier on the tool and prevents tearing. The last few thou are taken by adding depth to the cross slide, just skimming the thread eith both sides of the tool.
@@Danglebarry62 Makes sense. Thanks for the reply.
Really like your chips when hogging the mandrill. But why not just drill and tap and use a cap screw to hold the yoke on the mandrill and use a bolt through a hole in the yoke to drive it?
Way to go Starrett, don't send him a tool just send a Banner and brochure so you can get free advertising, that's insulting.
Adam didn't think so...
He wasn't communicating directly with Starrett but with a company that deals with their marketing. He is asking them for a favor to tour the Starrett plant. Not sure that constitutes the sending of a tool.
Adam,you prolly wont read this but just in case,i hope while in Colorado you & the mrs get to visit Chama & the narrow gauge live steam locos there. Combres & Toltec rlwy.
Check out youtuber Jeff Berrier as he has done some awesome videos in the Chama machine shop & running locos etc. Think you'd really like their workshops.
Cheers Ja.
I'm in Boulder Colorado if you need info or suggestions on your trip plans.
In my neck of the woods we call that workholding gizmo a "spud." That means a chuck-able short mandrel having a diameter and a face to reference workpiece features with a threaded stub to accept a separate nut (or tapped for a screw and washer) for retention. If the spud had threads intended to engage threads machined in the workpiece, it would be a "threaded spud."
Then there's "pots," "sockets,'" "slot vises," etc. Machine shop lexicography must be a subset of the dialect. In my limited travels, I discovered regional differences subtle but sufficient to cause momentary confusion followed by explanations, grins, and accusations of talking funny. Same with other trades. Goes to show technology is a work in progress.
Anyway, back in my career days, ships had valves all over the place and the watch-stander had to have access to all of them from his duty station. This led to development of "reach rods," long shafts furnished with U-joints, stuffing boxes, angled gear boxes, stem indicators, etc in profusion; each leading from a conveniently located handwheel to a valve possibly located two watertight compartments away.
We had a couple guys who did nothing but mod U-joints, indicator hardware and make up reach rod kits for installation on board ship. They had cabinets of spuds, split sleeves, and plain wierd fixturing to support their work. Very much repeat work but you never knew what and when. My first exposure to thus slice of machine shop activity was on swingshift overtime. I was pitchforked into the section to work alone on an urgent light-off job not knowing what to do or where anything was. If it wasn't for the outside guy come in to check progress I'd have never got the job done. Fortunately, he was a savvy old expert who worked closely with Art and Ham and knew their jobs nearly as well as his own. He showed me the ropes and got me started.
You'll find little essential specialties in any large shop and they're sure to humble a hot-shot, know it all machinist dropped in the middle and expected to produce.
Anyway, good work Adam. Well explained and efficiently done. I point the people I mentor to your channel. Somewhere in your videos there's most any manual machine shop task discussed, demonstrated, and summed up in a kindly easy to follow way.
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.
You know a Starret/Abom79 co-branded conversion/reference wall chart could be a nice project. Maybe you specify what “extras” a typical chart should include for easy reference and have it co-branded? You like to collect the original ones and I’m sure your viewers would like to collect a Abom79 branded one!
Hello from Germany
Nice work as always, machine shop time is less to drill and tap a hole for bolt and washer = less cost to customer....
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!
You are not going to come home when you get to Colorado. My son was stationed at Peterson A.F.B. you will see why it's called the color state. Manito springs is really cool little town, Garden of the gods and the commissary is a great place, the cog railway up to Pikes Peak the best donuts I've ever had (plain) must be the altitude, there is a train ride that goes along the Colorado River, open cars to see the scenery it goes up in altitude, stops, lets you stretch your legs, then gravity returns the train back to the station. The aspen forest. Cripple Creek was the disappointing place we went. The only restaurants were casinos. It was about 4 blocks long, the ride there went thru the Aspen forest, beautiful country. Pikes Peak, the summit, the air is Very Thin. 14,410 ft. Take plenty of water. Not sure where you two are going, but I hated to leave. The grass is thinner blades but a great green. Nicer there than hear in fla, even in the rainy season. Enjoy your time. Wish we were going. Have a safe n memorable trip. PS, downtown Denver is very clean, and Old Chicago is a great place to eat. Have fun.
Just an observation, I'm surprised they didn't have even a single back page to note they also have manufacturing locations in Brazil, China and Scotland. While you can't exactly call Scotland a low cost manufacturing location Brazil and China fit the usual off-shoring of production for cost savings.
That Monarch is a metal eater all right. If you want to get a manual lathe, get one with : Gearhead, quick change gearbox, footbrake, heavy bed, get it with all the tooling included. Length of bed is a choice, but a four jaw and faceplate are a plus. Spindle noses are another consideration. Get a lathe with a semi common nose with a morse taper center. 5c collets go right in. Then a drawbar with a 5c collet end and you can make a butt load of parts without having to indicate each part in spindle. Most people who are subbed to Abom 79 already know all this stuff. However the price of good manual machines is coming down to more reasonable levels. As the used cnc machines come down in price, it effects the manual and hybrid machine prices. Shoot man you can get a nice Brideport 2 axis manual/ cnc mill for 7500 all over California. I wish those deals were around when I got the bug.
Meesaw is one off, but maysah is the proper native way to say mesa verde for example. You got the verde part exactly right too. We don't necessarily speak it like the spanish would, nor do any other rules hem us in either. Combined with a rich culture of Spanish place names it can get dicey real quick like. Chances are you'll see sunflowers and they are NOT black eyed susans. Enjoy colorado, endless beautiful vistas await. Nice to see you opt for making some chips this time around, there were some almost having seizures to hear them tell of the lack of proper chips flying lately, I'm not so particular myself.
Do you have a microscope? I understand that heat affects the color of the chips, but what's happening at the surface of the chip to make the chips specific hues, shades, tints of color? Is it a physical arrangement of the surface crystal structure, or is it a specific degree of chemical reaction with atmospheric gasses? What's the story on those colors? From the colors, what other data can be extrapolated? For example, if the chips are a specific color of blue, can useful information be 'assumed', like what temperature the chips got to, or the presence and or concentration of certain gasses or combinations of gasses? Or can it reveal information about the composition of the metal/alloy?
Hey Adam, I take it that this is for a rear for a Chevy Camero, Nova, or similar rear end. I just watched another video on this problem a couple of weeks ago. It seems that the parts makers aren't making the yokes and seals that are right for these rear ends anymore. You also could of made a shim to go in between the seal and the bearing that would of pushed the seal out onto the yoke farther to clear the chamfer. Check out Hagerty - UA-cam video made about 2 month ago named - GM 12-Bolt rear diff Positraction and gear swap / Hagerty DIY, at 39 min they talk all about it and the fix. Later
If you find yourself in loveland colorado come check out my machine shop and I'll buy you guys dinner enjoy Colorado either way.
As a wet behind the ears freshly minted licensed A&E aircraft mechanic back in the early sixties I stumbled into a job working for Ted R. Smith aviation. He was building the fastest twin engine prop driven executive aircraft in the US at the time. When I walked into the hanger on day one the Aerostar was a frame only hanging in an enormous jig. Which I came to find out was designed and built by the crusty old craftsman named Joe Wojuk who was sitting in the frame of the brand new aircraft, taking measurements. Long story short, asked if I was the freshman mechanic taking the place of a guy with poor.work habits that Mr. Smith had fired. I said I was. Joe was a perfectionist as was Mr. Smith the owner of the company who was a renown aeronautics engineer on the level of Kelly Johnson who was the chief engineer on the SR71 Blackbird spy plane. Joe said we were going to work and I was not to question his orders on any matter concerning the aircraft. I held the dumb end of the tape measure for several weeks while Joe single handed designed, fabricated and installed the motor mounts which Must be dead on measured in hundredths of an inch in all directions. He worked alone with a surveyors transom while I acted as the guy who struck a mark when he said to. There were many many marks. His unerring craftsmanship amazed me and still does as I think back. The complicated motor mounts were judged perfect by the engineer in charge of the motor mount design. Under Joes watchful eye I was brought into the main stream of work on this prototype never before designed or built aircraft. He was a master of all systems and did not abide short cuts or experimenting. His experience was so vast and indepth and honed to such perfection that Mr. Smith seldom checked up on he and I. I was moved from department to department under Joes tutoring. Landing gear assembly and installation, fuel cell installation, all flight surfaces and their control systems. Strain testing of critical wing attachment points. BUilding a system to test the strain on the wings. It is called a Wiffle system. Again joe took me under his wing and walked me through the construction which took about 80 hours to fabricate and test. There are hundreds of parts all of which have to be the exact. It worked the first time. I felt like I had just gotten my masters degree. The engineers came out and congratulated Joe and me. Mr. Smith shook both our hands. Your skill and expertise remind me of old Joe. It was An honor to work alongside him. I was humbled and inspired at the same time. After the Aerostar was test flown I left the company .
Thanks for your videos! I always learn something from your videos. Keep up the good work!

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.
The brochure for the Gage division in Cleveland, the auto generated English captions said "stare at weber gaze blocks". If we do that while crossing and uncrossing our eyes we should see a 3D image appear!
Adam I will keep an eye out for you.I am in CO visiting grandchildren.I expect that you will ride the Georgetown loop .We have taken the gkids onit a number of times Will Smith
