  • I've been getting a lot of questions and concerns about why I'm not making videos anymore, so I thought one about what I've been up to and what my future plans are might be in order.

    Absolutely fantastic to see you’re doing well. We’ll be here when you have time to share something exciting. I still rewatch many of your previous videos and learn more every time. Finally, My deepest condolences for the passing of your son Greg. I can only imagine how difficult these last few years have been.

    Wow glad to see you back Tom, sorry for your loss, losing a child is a terrible thing to go through I’ve seen this firsthand twice. I hope your wife is doing well, because losing a child is much harder on a woman then on men , Looking forward to some new videos from you , Your old videos were very informative.

    Tom, what a treat, an encore from the main man. Your past videos & replies to the naysayers were classic.
    I am a carpenter with hopes of obtaining a lathe & mill some day.
    My father was a machinist & I went to trade school for it, but things did not work out for me then. Now that I'm semi retired, my goal is to fab of metal. I will always say thank you for making videos that people like me can watch & learn from. So much knowledge you gave to us will never be forgotten.
    ps. my grandmother bought new a 1967 Chevelle, no I didn't get it, one of my cousins did.

    Welcome back Tom from all in the U.K. Steve Barton ( Solid Rock) also in Michigan has been posting some similar toolmaking content recently. It’s certainly rare to find such machinists sharing decades of trade experience on manual machines. I can see you’ve had a difficult few years, hopefully the future will bring tranquility, peace and happiness to your family. Thanks for posting buddy, good to have you back.

    Seeing your face again was like seeing an old friend, it brought a smile to my face and almost brought a tear to my eye.

    Congratulations on the new shop Tom. I don't know how you did it not having a shop for several years. My wife and I also recently moved and built a 3k square foot automotive and machine shop in the back yard divided into RV/storage bay and workshop. Between packing up the old shop and waiting for the new shop to be finished I was without a shop for about 10 months and that alone about drove me insane.
    Looking forward to some new videos coming out of that awesome shop.

    Sorry about you losing your Son. I can't imagine how you deal with that. The new shop looks awesome. Thanks for the build photos. I too have an HLV-H, and it was the heaviest machine to move. Very deceiving. I am a retired toolmaker with my own shop and I think your videos are very straight forward. Thanks, and I LOVE your Chevelle!

    • @TomsTechniques
      @TomsTechniques  Рік тому +1

      Thanks, Ray. When I figure out how to deal with it, I'll let you know.
      I got the 3-phase wired last week, so the lathe and mill are operational. I also finished up the radiant heat and it's amazing. It took about a day to stabilize, but once the slab was to temp, the boiler hardly ran. I also noticed when I was running conduit, that the air near the ceiling was cool, unlike with forced air. All the heat stays near the floor. The Hardinge is a beast, at over 2000 pounds. It's also very top heavy, which makes it scary as hell to move. I made a pallet for mine and bolted the machine to it for the move. The Chevelle is a handfull to drive with its 540 big block. I also have a Tesla which is a lot quicker and faster, but not near as exciting to drive.
