videos like this are the reason why i support local small businesses.
None of the job shops in my town want to mess with small jobs. I can work every day on simple machine and weld repairs and folks are grateful that someone like you will take on broken bolts, chipped cast iron and family heirloom repairs.
Shops don’t want to mess with walk in jobs because the general public wants everything done for $5
@@rexmundi8154You speak as if industrial customers dont act the exact same way, while they also expect net 90 payment even as a new customer.
I see same here were i am I do work for local folks
And they don't want to do the small jobs as they take a long time to set up and do properly. And the average joe doesn't understand that the hourly rate is likely $100 minimum just for the person doing the job, and if it's a well run shop, you've got to pay for the machine being used as well.
My rate is likely in the $200 range, before I start a machine.
@ I cave every now and then and do a pity job for someone and the number of times they have bitched about how much I charged just to cover the cost of material or consumables is amazing .
You just made your dad and grand-dad proud! Thanks for showing this.
Just the kind of small projects many of us carry around to find a shop that won't say No. Their lucky day "Can Do" Abom was in the neighborhood.
Always a smile seeing 3 generations of craftsmen at closing.
You are experienced enough to take on any project,
Job shop machinist here. Quality job as always buddy. I've seen my fair share of emergency repair work. Any machinist that hasn't handled a 3 foot long 7/16" twist drill doesn't know what they're missing.
I'm glad that no shop in your town would take this job. The customer got a professional job and we get to watch. Its a win all the way around!
love the content after all these years, keep up the great work
Necessity is the Mother of invention. Bravo!!
I'm glad the other shops didn't want this job. It gives us all another opportunity for you to you showcase your work ethics and professionalism. All the best for the festive season to you and your lovely wife. Cheers from OZ mate.
That is what adds value to a community and gets your name out there. Beautiful job.
I will always love Job Shop work. It's some of the best UA-cam content, and some of the best real-world machining. Challenging, and out in the world, it keeps other people working. Great stuff!
Funny thing is the other shops could say I don't want to do it rather than I can't do it and hold the part for months. I see this all the time. Great work Adam.
That's what separates you from Everyone else. Every job is a learning and teaching experience. Well done Adam.
This is the kind of Abom79 videos i like 👍🏻☺️
My first thought was why would the other shops not take a simple job like that, but after seeing how you went about it and the special drills and tap extender that you used I realized that it was not as simple as it appeared. Thanks for another excellent video and for showing us how a job like this gets done professionally and competently. Best wishes as always from Germany and we wish you a great New Year!
If they are busy it's probably hard to justify taking in oddball work when straight forward stuff is sitting there waiting to be done.
I’ve been machining for over twenty year and still learn new set up ideas from you Adam…thanks for sharing!!
You're still the man Adam! For years and years now.
Your Videos are always a pleasure. Kind regards from Germany.
just a one off job youll never see again. just a good machine shop working for the customer. Good job Adam!
My OCD just wanted to clean up that pulley/sprocket and stop it rusting.
I get the feeling Adam will get it back to weld back on the cut off side nice wee future project for 2025 make a new one from scratch.
Happy New year to everyone.🇬🇧🏴🇺🇲
Nice job sir! This will get you more business than 4 dozen ads.
The owner of the shop I worked at told me that the jobs that come in off the street are negative assets and are potentially a liability.
I live and breathe small jobs like this, and if you are clever you can take advantage of a setup for a present job.
All in all it's a goodwill gesture that word of mouth will spread nicely.
Cheers
Terry
Hand-tappping. As you said, for a job shop machine tapping makes sense. If you break a tap you have another part ready to take its place. For one-offs, the cost of a broken tap is MUCH much higher, so the extra time & effort for hand-tapping is minimal in comparison. Now you don't have to tell them you broke their part and they'll have to fab a new one.
Another excellent video. Thank you.
Ikw your pop and granddad would be impressed with the shop youve built.. youve always did great work and showed how to properly accomplish different setups.
It’s great you carried on what your father and grandfather instilled in you !!!!!!!! 🫵🏻 do excellent work and videos !!!!!!😁
Nice small job that’s important for the customer. I suspect that these operations are likely the most precision and care that piece has ever seen!
Worked second shift in a large maintenance shop that had two best in class machnists on the shift. Saw them fabricate some great items after al! the industrial places were closed. They made extended taps, drill bits & reamers the by drilling a hole in the center of round stock on a lathe then turning down shaft of drill bits,taps & reamers then V connection point and would them while in the large then use the lathe to even out weld. Still have a 3' long 3/4" extended bit they fabricated for me 50 years ago. Best thing about second shift these very talented guys got tons of overtime getting equipment back on line.
In my opinion, 'job-shop' work is way better than a production run where it's just
1. insert blank 2. push button 3. remove product
I love seeing the creativity needed to accommodate a random item for a random task, and seeing which one of the 9001 methods is selected by a 3rd generation machinist.
Always great content here. No annoying music and I always pick up some new things. Thank you.
maybe you should have drill and plugged top of counter bore with a larger set screw to keep dirt and rust out so hole doesn't plug up great job Adam they just couldn't think outside the box on how to set it up
Another job well done. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you, Abby, and all the Abom viewers.
Excellent video. Especially like these that show unique setups. Amazing to see where you are now and when the new shop was totally empty. ! Congratulations on your success. Well deserved.
Loved the video,I love the care you take with a fairly simple job, surprised the customer didn't ask you to tidy up the cut edge.
I was thinking the same thing! Seeing that "Texas Hot Wrench" cut would bug me. It would be easy to chuck that thing in a lathe and clean it up and do a weld-prep on it but if the customer didn't ask...
I love shops that aren’t afraid to tackle challenging projects. Improvise adapt and overcome is a philosophy every job shop should have.
I agree.
My son makes a good living doing rust repairs on truck frames. No other shops want the work, so his customers have the choice of paying him whatever he charges or junking their trucks. He has plenty of work here in the salt belt.
@ One of my first jobs was in a crap hole radiator shop. I got really good at replacing heater cores because other shops weren’t up to the task and would send us the work. We eventually became one of the largest auto repair shops in the area because we never turned a job away.
I had the same issue with shops. They made me feel like I was wasting their time. I found a guy that had a tiny shop in his garage with a benchtop mill and a lathe. He wouldn't guarantee me that he could do what I was asking because I needed about a half a thousand shaved off a spindle of tool steel. He said he didn't have a cutting insert to cut tool steel, but he would give it a shot. It came out just fine.
from this video. You will get machinery and off shore repairs after watching shop with all the equipment. very nice Adam You took on the job with no hesitation
It was a simple job. If a machinist can’t or is not willing to drill and tap two holes, he should probably look for another line of work.
Adam I think the issue with no one wanting to do that job comes down to there just aren't many machinist left that came up like you did on manual machines. Having the ability to do the set up is a huge part of the job and knowing how is a skill learned over time. Well done and glad you could help another customer out. Happy New Year to you and Abby. Thanks for sharing your craft once again!
Happy Holidays Adam! Thanks for this video, I learned something! I don't watch the newer CNC videos as I will never have such a machine. I'm an old school manual lathe guy.
I love watching your channel, so meticulous in everything you do.
And you sir are one of a kind, i hope you live forever & keep putting these video's out for us all to watch and learn. love the little job's like this because i know how much this means to the guy just wanting to get 2 hole's drilled and tapped. so he can just get on with what he need's to get done. Thank's very much Adam.
Been a fan for years, thank you so much.
I've made hundreds of extended taps, it's a great way to do it.
I remember when you were trying to decide if you should leave your employers shop and do stuff on your own. I was surprised it took so long
I've been watching your content for a LONG time bro, and I gotta say, your production value has come SO far. It was never bad, but not it's like I'm watching a machining episode of a show like "This Old House" or "Shade Tree Mechanic". Much love for the holidays
Love a job shop project. Keeps us small guys in business! Happy New Year to you and yours!
The best part of this job is that you now have a new client.
We do jobs like this frequently, I’m surprised many shop turned it down. We have a wide selection of extended drills and pulley taps
Thank you Adam for all the years of making videos! I am one of those who just watches out of curiosity and have found these videos to be a great way to unwind and relax on these cold winter nights.
Good on ya for doing it, selective custom is just good business but saying you'll do it; knowing what it's really worth to the owner is humble
Nice teaching for us want-to-be machinists. There is much to learn and not enough good teachers. Thanks. God Bless You. And Happy New Year
A professional job done. And done corectly.
You are the Bomb Adam you always take on the jobs that no one else will touch👍
Thanks Adam, I hope that you and Abby had a great Christmas.
Another completed and well done job.Happy new year.Thank you Adam.
I was always told to put grub screws at 90 degrees from each other,? great job,thanks for sharing, all the best to you and your loved ones
great sedment and i love the tramming and alignment for the deep holes...good ideas on how to do that.
Awesome to get a new video from you Adam, I hoped you had a great Christmas and I hope you have a fantastic New Year!!!!
Thank you for including the video from the other (awful) formats in this one. Appreciate all the info in one place.
Adam I did a lot of work like this because my shop was a small shop(4000square foot) and all the local shops(15mile radius) didn't want to do 1 time small jobs.
I enjoy watching the set up process just as much as seeing the machine work being done.
Thanks for showing this. Lots to learn here for home shop DIY projects.
Great work. I like the way you explain every thing.
I love being a job shop. Everyday is a learning day!
Bonjour (France, Le Mans 24h), toujours agréable de regarder vos vidéos, excellent travail de réparation. Bonnes fêtes de fin d'années et meilleures vœux pour vous et vos proches.
Good old quick and dirty job, but you have to have the tools and experience to do them. Looks like you polished that one off with no problems.
This job could have been done on a floor model drill press. Of course it wouldn’t be as precise as Adam’s work, but it would have gotten the job done. It’s disappointing that other shops couldn’t or wouldn’t do it.
This is the exact kind of content that drew me in years ago. I don't mind the CNC, and I'd stay for just the Adventures channel anyway, but I'm glad to see this. When I saw the title I had hope for a video just like this but maybe even an hour! 😄
Mr Abom79 in my belief this is very good project.
I would recommend tapping the top of the holes for a second set screw to act like a plug to keep rust and debris from filling up the head of the bottom set screw.
Good idea, tap a 5/8 11 at hole entrance…that way, the 17/32 clearance drill used for the tap extender would not be an issue…as it uses a 17/32 tap drill
@@ypaulbrown In a marine environment, this might trap water in the threaded areas. Sealing with lots of axle grease might keep any trapped water out between double set screws.
@@dusttoyou6035 I thought about that after posting
I'm just an electrician who repairs buses, but I've been watching your videos for years, and for that, I thank you.
I am so impressed! Great professional job. I learn something new every time I see your videos. As a home hobbies you have shown me over and over how to get a job done right!
Looks good Adam! 👍👍
The only thing I would've done differently was tapped the top inch of the holes for a second pair of set screws just to prevent the holes from getting packed up with debris.
As far as why all the other shops refused the job I'm sure it was bc they wouldn't have made anything off the job when you factor in them more than likely having to manufacture tooling, like you did on top of setup time all to drill and tap two holes, it doesn't exactly leave much room for profit.
I've had trouble with salt water and anti-sieze - mostly outboard repair so not much mild steel. Tef-Gel (tks Keith Fenner) has been my go to for a few years now. Pricey but good results - FWIW. Thanks for the great content of getting 'er dun when others said git a long!
Great video, great job Abom your the best, Happy New Year to you and the family 👍🙏
Pcola local. I was given a aluminum tool box with broken welds at the lid seam. I took to a welder off of navy Blvd and they fixed it no charge. I always try and use local shops. Delta hydraulics and supply was amazing for my hydro assist lines.
A happy and prosperous new year to you and your family. Love your dedication to precision.
Happy New Year, Adam.
Even though I have a couple extended length pully taps (got them in an auction lot still in new package) I'm going to remember the tap extention build -"just in case". Excellent tip/trick!
Gday Adam. Another Excellent Video. Showing the extended drill bits to taps. Good set-ups on the mill & how to work around jobs, in an orderly manner.
Well done
Ted
It’s hard to find a machinist more that knows what they are doing. Good work.
You and Tubalcain are good machinists.😂❤❤😂
Good job Adam ! I remember that long drill. I was there the last time !!!
Great job, very interesting.
I've made some similar job many years before for our drilling machine's engine crankcase, desperate times you know :)
Made similar extension for drilling bit (I'm not machinist btw) and I've used a socket and extension piece for tapping.
Great job.
I do this type of work on my radial arm drill.
Great work Adam! Although I wish it could have gone in the lathe to clean up that nasty flame cut edge!
Hope you had a wonderful Christmas and a happy new year from Ireland 🇮🇪
Perfect job for the radial arm drill. 🙂
I dont turn down any work, Dont understand shops that do. Of course im a knifemaker,not machinist, ill build,fix anything ! Good video.
Shop made tools are the best.
VERY NICE WORK ADAM THANKS.
Happy New Year to you and the Mrs Adam, may your business grow and may you prosper in the new year🎉🎊🎉🎊
I always wonder why shops would not do this work?? So simple and quick. crazy.
Great content lining up the hole to drill and tap off the key way
A true craftsman
Typically you place set screws on a shaft 90* from each other. That way the shaft is contacted in 3 points. With them 180* off each other the set screw bear all the weight of keeping it in place
You are right of course. However who knows how the customer plans to use this? And there are two keyways in the bore? Many questions about what an how this will be used! If someone went to multiple shops I figure they have a plan.
Good content. Myself, I would have used a ball carbide to debur those tap holes, quicker and less invasive to the bore they’re protruding into. Great content once again.
Very nice work mister Abom. Great idea on extending drill bits. I have done it myself once or twice. Sometimes you just have to make a plan.
Fantastic skill .
This was nice. The customer got the work done and we got to see a cool video.
Great videos. I’m a hobbyist enjoying retired life learning to use my mill and lathe. I’m not going into business but sometime in your conversations with us would you say a little about how you evaluate a request and then justify your time. Not looking for you to divulge job quotes, just business philosophy. Thanks again and God bless!
С Новым Годом ! здоровья и успехов в новом году.
