Reelcraft Hose & Cord Reel Installation
Вставка
- Опубліковано 14 чер 2022
- We begin the install of our Reelcraft air hose and electric cord reels in the new shop space. I have several to install that will help provide shop and and electric to any location in the shop and conveniently and cleanly. We're also going to use our Evolution Power Tools mag base drill to help us with the drilling of the beams to mount our reels on.

Try turning the mag drill the other way with the chuck down. Chips fall down away from mag base. Use a cord around the mag base to suspend a catch can to catch chips and cutting lube. Keeps base clean. That is a great looking mag drill. Thanks. Love the new shop!
You said it all.
I had the same thoughts about the chips falling onto the drill. Personally I thought the mag drill looked cheap and flimsy but I guess you have to sacrifice to save weight and cost if you want a mag drill.
I feel silly for not noticing that now 👍
Abom livin' the dream shop. Air drops, power drops, a great flag. Great machines. Good for you!👍
Been a subscriber since Adam's humble beginnings... I really miss those days... I have learned a lot from Adam... I hope I will learn more someday... I love you Adam but I got say, I miss the old content... I don't want your channel to fail, you have so much more skill and knowledge to share other than this kind of content... just my humble opinion but I think most of us that watch your channel know what good products are... I liked when you use to be building or machining something and you would come across a product every now and then that you liked and would recommend it but now it just seems to be to much...I know you are genuinely a great guy with a big heart and wishes you all the best... Your friend and continued subscriber,
.....The GasWorker.....
i agree with your assessment of these latest videos, Adam is just plugging products, no more showing his real talents, it's a shame!
upvoted so he might see it.
i don't mind plugging stuff from time to time, but let it at least be domestic, well used and tested and be freaking clear about what is a plug and what is not.
there are thousands on youtube who can do that sponsorship shenanigans and not much else. and there are only a few like Abom, so please keep us fed.
Those are awesome hose reels! Especially with the new controlled return!
My suggestion for your nylon quick connect fittings going into the reels is to install some 45 or 90 degree fittings that way you can have the nylon air line closer to the reel and not sticking out as much and less stress on the line
Nice!
A couple more machines and you'll be wanting that space next door...
The light situation in the new shop is really improved dramatically. Relative to earlier but also to the old shop. Big difference. Good.
Completely agree with Abby. I lived in a tourist town for 20+ years and stayed home during all holidays. Really enjoyed watching the new mag drill being used. Great video and Abby does her usual amazing job fillming.
Shop coming along nicely. Your going to have to hire some help. :-)
Thanks for sharing.
Those reelcraft units really are fantastic. I have an older model with 50' 1/2" airline. Very well built to last and worth every penny of their price.
love me some hose reels. keep those hoses and chords handy and still out of the way when not in use.
Super nice reels, thats a great labor saving idea.
imagine all that labor needed to earn $ 6k for them reels.
I'm an IT guy and couldn't help but notice your entire network is resting on the wall. Simple cabinet with a filter and fan would be a great idea ;)
Better then what we used to do. Send the new guy up on the ricketiest ladder we could find with a 3/8" drill and a dull bit while taking bets on how long he'd take.
Classic, lol.
When using a mag drill on vertical surfaces it is advised to add a safety tether to keep from dropping the machine should power fail or you bump the magnet off switch by mistake. It is also possible to cause it to pop off thin metal surfaces. The magnet prefers thicker metal. I have a Jancy slugger version of that unit. I have had mine over 35 years.
Loved the presentation! Abby's comments and conversation added to making it happy and slightly silly!
yeah because that's exactly what we need in this world right now. less work and lower quality of it, but instead we can act silly and funny so we all feel happy after all.
hint hint. while some sit and laugh others keep moving forward. exactly like in the ant and the grasshopper.
47 minutes about mounting a hose reel to the wall ? lets be serious for a moment.
Can't wait to see you learn the CAD/CAM on the CNC machines. I took on that challange at the age of 62. I am currently 76 years old. You will love it.
comparing to manual milling and turning it is not a challenge at all, assuming you can already use a pc.
i think going from cnc into manual world is much harder.
You can't go wrong with Reelcraft. I inherited some older models (30 yrs ago) that are still working perfectly.
Its so nice seeing the progress on this shop, it's always exciting to see what comes next.
I'm loving watching the new shop build out, and I can't wait to see all the projects that will get turned out of this space!
You can never have enough fire extinguishers. A friend of mine is a volunteer fire fighter, he's got extinguishers in EVERY room of his home. After listening to a bunch of stories about how a minor fire got out of control and took out a house so does mine.
One suggestion for the hose reels. Get whip hoses. The ends where the coupler is always gets beat up first. Better that a three or four foot whip hose gets beat up before your fifty foot hose does. Almost sixty years of experience taught me that a very long time ago. All my air tools had whip hoses. They pay for themselves by not ruining the reels.
that's pretty smart actually, I should do that.
probably best advice on this video!
I look forward to spending vacation time in my shop!
Anxious to see all that equipment get put to work.
Great to see both of you having fun in and about the new shop! It is really coming along in both speed and quality. It's great to get air, power and gas where you are going to need it before you are finished. If you don't do those things now it becomes a lot harder & expensive to do it later if at all. Good luck and keep us in the loop. Really enjoying this series!
Nice job Adam it is good to hear Abby excited about using thousands of dollars worth of equipment to drill holes and mount the hose reels.
LMAO!!
@@summerforever6736 Even though I worked for over 50 years in an industrial environment and have done similar work I never comment on how the work was done or suggest improvements but if I can find something absurd or funny that is fair game.
@@richb313 I did like your comment
DRILLING into structural beams of a rented building?
Sure...most "industrial" areas allow all of that. I mean he bolted his jib crane to the floor, mounted his Mr. Cools to the walls, and drilled through the building. No issue with drilling into those beams. I'm sure if it was THAT big of a deal he could have welded a plate to the beam, and when he was ready to move out he could cut those plates off, grind the beam flat and paint it....but nah, those holes won't do anything.
drilling cutting grinding we do it all. thats why we have a welder too!
and lets be serious for a second, like Wreck said such holes wont do anything. more than that engineers are putting much bigger holes in structural beams for purpose!
Yup, all day long.
Your shop is really taking shape Adam. Anxious to see what work you’ll be doing. For what it’s worth, a heavier piece of sheet metal on the opposite side of the column from the magnetic drill would have allowed the mag drill to hold on the surface of the thin column.
Good idea.
Love the detail, and see the new shop equipment grow Best of luck Adam 👍
Love these updates. Your shop is AMAZING!
I got to this video late but I'm really happy to see how well things are working for you! You are an absolute professional and a true master of your craft and I really appreciate how willing you are to share it with me. Thanks so much for being awesome and posting your terrific content.
Very cool Adam can't wait to see you working in the new shop👍👍
Love the build up to having the shop fully operational. Really looking forward to the PM lathe’s first chips!
Hey Adam & Abby, really nice to see the new workshop coming along, filling it with new toys, cannot wait to see some chips fly from these. all the best !!.
I'm excited to see the further progress of the new shop. I wish you all the best and much success. Well done.
Just bought 4 of these. Thanks for the recommendation!
This is an awesome shop. Enjoying watching it come together. In my wee little 26x28 shop, I have a Reelcraft 40' air reel. You can't beat them. I mounted it on the front wall between the garage doors. Great location for outside use as well. I do have two other drops on the wall at either end of the bench on the back wall. That Reelcraft improvement to slow down a rogue rewind is great.
Your shop makes way more sense for us average Joe's..
38:50 ... Just a tip you're using he mag drill upside down. When you have it mounted the other way the chips and cutting fluid (if any used) don't stick all to the mag. This is also a safety issue, one chip under the mag greatly reduces it's holding power!
Looks really great Adam! Got to get some projects going now! Hey to Abby! God bless you folks!🙏🎚🇲🇾🇲🇾🇲🇾
Daammn... The thumbnail made my jaw drop!! You got 5 grand worth of hose & cord reels. 😲 Been wanting one for years LOL Congrats 👍👍
OMG, Abby and Adam must have busted ass working out all these sponsorships. Go Go Gadget marketing team.
@@_Rich_. Yes, I know that.
i think she finally took over what Adam was dismissing for all those years. such a potential. one of the reasons i stay single.
I am jealous AF of those reels. Very nice
I'd hate to see the price tag for everything, but if there's anyone out there that deserves this more I highly doubt it. You and Abby have come a long way and I'm happy to see and witness you expanding! I can't wait to see the new projects you're going to start on.
He is hiring!
Well that makes way more sense if he is indeed hiring, because one guy spending a quarter million dollars on all new stuff and not having a small business with employees didn't make sense.
@@Adirondacks4me but he is not hiring!
He got deals on all that new stuff...
Yes he could open a business and take advantage of all the free stuff he got
I did shout the bracket was the wrong way round but the video was a few hours old. Live and learn as we say here in Norfolk, good work
Nice tooling. Great video. Thank you for sharing.
Great to see the new shop build. Best regards
Always great to have things moving along.
I understand that the air compressor isn't the final compressor, but I just can't comprehend the placement. Isn't there a free corner you could tuck it into?? Or even up on top of the office out of the way.
It is a sponsored item... you want it seen in as many videos as possible... not tucked into the corner or on the ceiling!
I say have it suspended by an air balloon and float around!
@@cscollen great point. I guess I’d do the same thing for a free $20k air compressor
I said the same thing, such a goofy in the way place to put it. 😂 After he bumps into a few times I'm sure we'll hear a "I wish I picked a different spot for this. LOL
I'll never be a machinist... this kind of video learns me about tools and methods I can use in my little environment so thanks!
Great work Adam and Abby!
Shops looking so nice, I wish I had a place like yours to work.
Congrats shop looking awesome 😍
Look at you, living my dream! Lol man it must be so cool to be able to set up a brand new shop like that. That evolution mag drill should last you the rest of your life we have them at work (need new ones, they no longer work) but for the price they last alot longer than I thought they would I work in a structural steel fab shop and they get used and abused, the sluggers are nice and tough too, they last longer but are a few hundred $ more.
Shop looks fantastic.
Like the new shop thanks for sharing
coming along nicely.
man what a dream, cant wait to see you making some parts in the new shop!
Is this give away for real?
@@joshwelch8288 it's spam dude
S.O.B I knew it was to good to be true for a minute I really thought I won a flexarm and was about to pass out at the gas pump, and not from the gas prices lol what a shitty thing to do to somebody. Well I didn't send any $ bc I couldn't get any reap proof it was him I guess that's a plus
Looking sharp Yeah I spent the weekend working in my shop hopefully I'll get it back together one of these days But I gotta do it one more time since I find a new place Thanks for the video
Really looking great Adam
Holy cow, quite the shop you're putting together!
Thanks for the Reelcraft video and thanks for supporting American made.
Dream shop !!!!!! Looking great man !
top notch reels and drill very nice
Gots to say, I have a cheap hose reel and cord reel in my home shop and WOW, makes things much much easier. Best thing I did in the shop. Also, you should get a 15/20 lb. CO2 fire bottle. They are refillable and wont make a mess like the dry chem ones, much easier recovery if you have to use.
It was cool to see the new mill making some chips!
Man this is a nice shop you’re kitting out 👍
That torch hose reel is really cool.
I sell Reelcraft, magdrills along with annular cutters. He’s got some pretty serious money there. Jeez
Although, I will say mag drills are a life saver. Well worth the money. I sell one we call a “frame drill” that is super compact and lite. I use it all the time on all sorts of stuff. Wherever I can.
Btw. When the metal is too thin for the drill to magnetize to. Take another small piece of plate and stick it behind the beam in this case. I do the same for aluminum drilling. Back it up with a plate of steel and you can use it on aluminum too. Well, if the magnet is strong enough on that particular drill. But works great if it is.
I was wondering if a back plate of steel would have worked. Thanks for posting that !
Enjoy the journey, especially like the Safety Squints and Hearing Plugs..
Shop is coming together.......looks good.
Well done 👍👍
I would switch the air fittings on the hose reels out for 90 degree fittings. It will look more professional as well as put less stress on the supply hose. I’ve actually seen the wear from not using 90’s on hose reals that swivel first hand and dust goes flying everywhere when they finally give out.
Secondly as a former Firefighter I wouldn’t place your oxygen and acetylene bottles next to or so close to your office. Only thinking about your safety as it looks as if you only have the one entrance and exit.
Might want to try mounting the mag drill upside down when you drill like that, chips wont fall into the magnet, but rather out of the way
Love reelcraft. Really was hoping to see a Milwaukee mag drill.
Annular cutters are some of the best cutting tools to use for making holes in steel. Use them in a mag drill at work to drill 200 holes in 3/4” steel with no issues just keep the chips out the way.
$1,040 for a 12/3 100’ cord reel without the swivel mount is pricey. That’s beyond my budget and you’re installing a half dozen units. More power to you - no pun intended.
wow! I wouldn't have guessed they would be that expensive.
Possible mostly businesses going for these. Last a long time I guess, so not so expencive in the long run. Adam here possible got some sponsorship from the manufacturer (which is alright, and natural) If not, guess he would not installed that many.
I just bought that same mag drill. Should be here tomorrow. Great minds think alike I guess.
love it!!!
Hi Adam. I agree with a couple of others here in that it might not be wise to locate any flammable gas cylinders so close to the overhead door and the doors to your office. I don't know if you have an exit door inside your office? If so they will have a safe emergency exit. If not, everyone in both the office and your shop will have to exit out the overhead door right beside your proposed welding station and your gases. From what I see there does not seem to be any emergency exit at the back of your shop?
I don't know if you have put any though into a safety plan but you might want to consider it? The fact you are using portable reel hoses for your gases might allow you to find a safer place to store them? I'd check with your local fire regulator, they may take exception to where you place the gases, and force you to move them later down the road. A little forethought now could save you time, money and one day even a life? Just something to think about Adam. 👍🏻 Your shop is coming together great! Cheers!
My tools, my tools, I can't do the job without my tools!! A guy ( or some girls) can never have too many tools. Abbie doesn't seem to mind- and that's great. Some wives think tools should be sold if they aren't used everyday.
I'm glad to see this video as I've been toying with buying one of these mag-drills. There are a few other videos that show them in action also. Others might last longer but this is light enough to use. Those reels are a thing of beauty. No more hoses and cords all over the ground. I do have pause about the electrical box so close to fuel and oxygen tanks. Also, the extinguisher needs to be away from all of the above.
That Kaeser aluminum pipe air system, compressor and those Reel Safe reels are all top dollar stuff. Nice setup you have right there Adam! Pure industrial quality. I shudder to think at the cost of it but man... That's the top dog shop air system.
What ever happened with the screw for the compound on the big lathe ??? The videos look like big commercials these days.
What do you mean "look like", they are! You don't think Adam pays the price for all that shop equipment, tools and supplies, do you?
@@chickdenike5861 No I don't, I'm much smarter than that !!
I agree with some of the commenters from the previous video. The compressor should have been located on the mezz next to the extra pressure tank. The company who ran the blue pipe is not nearly as good as you think they are. They should have put tees on the mail line for you to connect the reels to so you do not have the ugly black line tie wrapped to the pipe going back up. Also the blue pipe should NOT be on the roof of the mezz. It should be on the wall of the mezz, on the inside of the outside wall or on the ceiling (to hit the corner of your office where the two reels are.) I do envy all your new equipment and shop though.
Thought the same thing. I want to say that he posted something about the compressor and the mezz on Instagram or FB. Something wasn't going to work...I can't remember. I agree that the pipe run is HORRIBLE. Much better ways of running that.
Yeah, having that pipe right on the edge of the roof - that kills off easy forklift access to put a pallet up there. MIGHT be doable with super long forks, who knows! Also yeah, floor space is precious, the mezzanine doesn't seem so critical, so anything that can be up there should be, in my opinion.
@@goose300183 agree 100%. Floor Space is KING! Only thing that comes to mind? Load limits. Some of those lego built shops like this, their mezzanines are rated for like 10lbs per sq.ft. That compressor may weigh in at 200 lbs or more and use 5 sq.ft. which would put it over the weight limit.
I think Adam had a FB or IG post about it not working out on the mezz, and he really wasn't happy, but was "this happens sometimes".
@@WreckDiver99 aye, good point, it might just be there to function as a non-structural office ceiling rather than a load-bearing floor.
May want to ask the firefighters around the corner about the type of fire extinguishers to buy and where to place them in the shop.
Answer: Amerex (you can get them from your local distributor or ULINE, skip the home center models)
Well I just checked the price of these reels, they cost a double fortune, good thing you got yours for FREE
Not going to lie, I'm pretty jealous, but he did what he needed to do to get those partnerships. That said, it does tend to get old. 6+ Months "outfitting" a shop that he originally said would be a 1 year thing...well, he's going to be in for 2+ now, he can't break even at this rate of bleeding cash....even if 100% of that shop was "free" minus the rent, he's still going to be out $20K+ a year. Needs to start taking jobs IN that shop, unless this is 100% a 'hobby' shop, and then it's WOW, that's an EXPENSIVE hobby shop...LOL.
$20K would be CHEAP if he's paying the lease. My area a 2000 Sq.Ft. Industrial shop is $9/sq.ft. excluding utilities...so that shop is going to be more like $20K/MONTH...$240K/year!!!! WITHOUT utilities. This puts his investment (if he had actually purchased all the tools) at north of $500K in the first year. That's some serious ground to recover.
@@WreckDiver99 BINGO! "unless this is 100% a 'hobby' shop,"
@@Peter-V_00 Which he claims it is not....but one never knows. LOL...
@@WreckDiver99 its "me and my wife are moving to a bigger house" shop
bigger house so there have to be expenses, that is one of them.
make partnerships, get equipment, generate views, move and reset old shop while still working, lease an top notch fully equipped workshop after that.
if she wont kill that channel in the process they will do just fine.
Thanks for sharing 👍
Impressive build-out curious to see how the Fab area ends up as always great video
Looking better every day.
I believe the IRS made some changes for small business in that they can purchase equipment etc. and not have to depreciate them over a few years as before. Meaning, 100% deductible the same year, which seems like a great start.
You need a 90 degree fitting on the side of the hose reel. You will find a nasty habit of those push in air fittings to pop out when flexed frequently.
he needs bigger diameter of those nylon pipes in the first place :) leaving 10 extra inches of hose would solve fitting problem.
you can make clamps for the beams from conduit beam clamps and Unistrut, that would mean you don't need to try to drill a heavy steel beam to mount things to them.
I see a lot of negative comments about you advertising the tools and equipment you have for your new shop. If you are getting those things for free or discounted by showcasing them, they need to get over it. You have worked very hard for a long time to make your channel as popular as it is and have taught us all so many things that you have learned in your many years in the machining trade. I would like to say to those people is to get over it this is no different than Michael Jordan endorsing sneakers but at ridiculously smaller scale. Keep up the great work Adam!
Yes!
A lot of it is jealousy. But I bet if those people had spent years and thousands of hours building a channel with good brand recognition, they would find plenty of good reasons why they needed to accept the sponsorships that came their way.
Keep it up, Adam.
Abbie, no disrespect intended.... But your giggle needs to be a ring-tone !! It simply makes me smile!! Adam, Awesome video and content!! I have so enjoyed your skills over so many years!
its getting reel in there, thanks for keeping it ... reel
I work in an automotive manufacturing plant, to indicate the fire suppression equipment the pillars are painted red from floor to about 12ft up.
I see lots of advice here today, so I’m going to add my two cents: 1) keep your wife’s appearances going, she’s a jewel and cracked me up. 2) ignore all comment advice, except for the ones about the placement of your gas canisters, check with your fire department…. Love your videos!
Look at all those hose!
I was surprised you didn't just drill 4 holes in the bracket instead of flipping the bracket. Great setup in the shop!
Think all of the cord reels that I ran power for last 30 years states to fully unreel the cord before using. Probably afraid of it overheating . Would never apply a heavy load on any cord reel overnight or weekends with a heavy load especially if a lot of the cord was retracted. Smart going with the 3/8" air hose rather then 1 /4". Thanks for all the great vids. Love your new shop.
I saw a 100' Cord lying on a Office carpet all coiled up with a 1500 Watt heater connected to it . In less than 30 min it had melted into the Office carpet into a big Orange blob. The inner conductors must have been good for high temp as they did not short together.
I'll have to get me some of those safety squints.
Adam, just want to say I love your channel. You are an incredibly gifted master machinist. I know I am in the minority when I say I would much rather see videos on complex machining projects that come your way. Pedestrian videos like hose reels, lighting, and compressors detract from your work. Love ya brother.
Try Cutting Edge Engineering Australia for the serious machining projects these days
@@pcb1962 I have been watching Kurtis and Karen for over a year. They are great.
@@rc9831 yeah they are.
About Abom just give him some time, I hope he gonna sort out this new house thingy with Abby, and go back to what he does best.
I’d recommend using that guard on the mag drill. I worked with a guy that was using a mag drill with those styles of drill bits, the “birds nest” of chips grabbed his glove and tore one of his fingers off. Obviously other safety issues were present but still, if you have the guard, use it.
