50 years ago, in vocational machine shop in high school, my partner in crime ( Westley Peterson ) and my self would always set the shaper up to take what we called "mother cuts " . Always got the panic reaction from the instructor . But man that old machine would be ripping the metal off like no bodies business !!
You prolly dont care but if you are bored like me atm you can stream all of the new movies and series on instaflixxer. I've been binge watching with my girlfriend these days xD
Merry Christmas to Adam and Abby and Everybody who Follows this Channel and Everyone you are close to.. I hope to follow all of you in the coming New Year..
It's been thirty years since I worked in a machine shop; CNC equipment was just taking hold back then. It's wonderful to see young men with your dedication to, and level of craftsmanship and mastery. My wife just commented that she has never seen me watch a UA-cam video longer than twelve minutes. I want you to know I enjoyed every second.
Our Vocational Metal shop was so well equipped it could have doubled as a job shop. (70-72). My son had a small CNC in his shop class (93) . Sad that kids today don't have that.
George Escaped , we are contemporaries. I had shop from '68 to '70. Everyone in my class except two of us went to work at a DOE complex right after High School. Unfortunately I has to go to Basic Combat Training. By the time I got back, DOE was laying off, and there was an abundance of qualified machinist in the job market. Had to go another direction. Now that I am retired, I am trying to set up a small shop.
Merry Christmas Adam and equally importantly, congratulations on passing the quarter million subscriber mark, I think you had less than 20,000 when I first started watching you. Very many thanks.
Ah heck ya. More shaper action. I love the shaper. Merry Christmas to you and your family Adam. Please take the time to be with family during this time of year and we will see you in the new year.
All I want for christmas is hours and hours of shaper video. The biggest beefiest cuts that thing can manage with the chips just piling up all over the place. I can't get enough shaper.
I love the sound it makes as it's resetting to cut, love the sound of it making a cutting pass, love the way the chips fly off. Just an awsome machine. It's cool to watch it work. Just Awsome Adam!!
Man, Adam. That interrupted cut slo-mo at 27:20 is the coolest most mesmerizing thing... the way the chips curl and pop off all right behind one another.
Hey Adam! Thanks so much for sharing your experience and skills with us throughout the year. Your road trips, cooking and adventures with Abby are all part of us getting to know you, and I see a deeply experienced but humble and gentle man that has a clear vocation to teach and share. You’re a fine person Adam. Your Dad and Granddad would be so proud of you. Happy Holidays to you, Abby and your families. 🎄🎄🎄 Ross from Australia
@29:17 that's a truly superb finish from an interrupted cut. Shows how your experience and skills are worth every hour, month and year you have spent learning.
Hey Adam. I would love to see you do an episode where you attempt to make the best finish possible with a shaper. I would find that fascinating. I love the shaper. Although it seems to have fallen out of favor or perhaps just outdated, but I love the machine. I find it mesmerizing to watch. And the concept is so simplistically beautiful. Like the lathe. So thats my viewer request.
Why is it SO satisfying to watch a shaper in action??? Mesmerizing is not a strong enough word. Thanks Adam for taking the time to make such cool videos for us.
Thanks for adding the PayPal option, signing up with these giants is rarely as simple as it could be. It does mean when I have a little spare cash to help out I'm now able to more easily my end. As always it's an absolute pleasure watching your videos, they're a rare combination of relaxation and learning, which don't go hand in hand as a rule, but you're a natural teacher. If I was local, and a few decades younger, I'd be outside your shop twice a day begging for an apprenticeship. As it is I'm privileged to watch and learn from afar, with you giving so generously of your time and effort in recording and editing these videos, so thank you again for this installment as I all to often forget to hit the like button or saying thanks in the comments. Have a super awesome Christmas, my best to you and your family. As a side note, I love the shaper footage, there's so few in good order. Where lathes and mills were saved, shapers seem to have fallen by the wayside. Great to see a working one, not in an industrial museum, but working for its living with an understanding hand on the tiller.
It never ceases to amaze me the power of the shaper. Peeling off .125" with a .030" step over across nearly 8 inches of steel is serious power. Looking at the chip produced is proof! Thank you for sharing these wonderful machines. Merry Christmas to you and Abby thanks for another year of great videos.
I was whittling away on a block of steel in my mill yesterday and thought “how cool would it be to do this on a shaper”. I love that machine. Merry Christmas Abom.
MAN, this was a sweet video! Seeing (and hearing) you turn down a square block on the lathe was great, and then you went a SLOW-MO'D it!!! DANG!!!! The finish on that piece is fantastic too! And you look great, by the way! Somehow you look like you have more energy and there's something about the look in your eyes these days! It make me happy to see you looking like you're doing good for yourself :)
Slow motion of the lathe cutting was awesome. Have you ever thought of doing a collaboration with Smarter Every Day? He does some machining related content from time to time and he has one of those Phantom Flex slow motion cameras. He’s done some footage of cannon shots that’s amazing. I’m still dying to see super super slow motion of the chip formation.
If the shaper is good, the tool is good, and the machinist has all his head gears meshing, the job looks great, measures right, and the cut sounds sweet. Makes for a good xmas if quality work matters. Congratulations, and have a great festive season.
That slow motion part was WICKED! I love all these machining videos, my uncles been a professional machinist for over 20 years aswell. It's amazing how those incerts can handle cutting a square on a lathe with those corners just smacking down on them like that and them shearing it off! No bounce or vibration of any kind, American made machines when they were built to outlast the planet itself lol!
I'm not a regular viewer, but come back once in a while, because for whatever reason I like watching machining, even if it's neither my job nor my hobby (but I'm interested in everything technical). And I also got to say, you look so much better every time since you started to change your diet!
Merry Christmas Adam, I will spend my holiday getting my new (old 60s) lathe running. After watching all your machining videos I guess it was time to get a (small South bend clone) lathe. So grateful for the knowledge sharing you're giving us. Greetings from Sweden
That Shaper is one awesome tool... mesmerizing and relaxing. That noise it makes as it strokes off the steel could help me go to sleep... Thanks for the Vid and Happy Holidays!
Go anywhere near Abby with one of those branding irons and you'll be speaking with an octave higher voice in the next video (if you're even able to make another video) ;-) Have a good Christmas.
Adam, I had the pleasure of meeting you and Jason in the lobby of the hotel in Dallas last month. I love the videos. Keep up the good work. Merry Christmas! Jim
Hi Adam! Love your videos. I’ve never touched any kind of machine tool, but I’ve watched all your videos. I live seeing your thought process. An idea popped into my head while watching the shaper in action. When the cutter is travelled across the surface, isn’t most of the oil going to be on top of the chip, rather than between the material and the cutter? I’ve always though having oil applied to the tool, running down into the cut might offer better lubrication. Anyways, just my “how things work” brain doing it’s thing.. Merry Christmas to you and Abby!
I'm not here for any contest for any books, but my favorite content or job so far was the giant paper roller with the bent and poorly welded bearing shaft that you drilled and tapped then made a new shaft, cut threads and then welded in. Mad skills man. Fun to watch.
Totally not maching related but as a large man i would greatly appreciatea video of the process of weight loss and ups and downs . looking great brother.
HELLO Adam, thanks a lot for this nice shaper action vids, this tool cut steel like butter : impressive. Good idea too the slow motion on the lathe the sound is funny. Merry Chritmas and happy new year to you and your family🌲🍹🍰🍹🥂
Looking great man each month I've see you slim up not used to hearing your deep voice with your frame lol used to seeing a large guy with a large voice. Your giving me motivation to do things I would have other wise over looked. Keep up the good work we all want to see you succeed and excelle. Also Merry Christmas and have a wonderful New Year.
I’ve used some stock like that, of course not as big. It less expensive to find a piece of square plate than a piece of round. I needed a adapter plate for my lathe dog project so that’s what I used. People would be surprised how well that kind of plate machines. Great job. Merry Christmas to you and your entire family
Great post as usual Adam. I always really enjoy them for sure.Love the books and shapers are soooo underestimated and reg. used any more. Great to see you with it.. Seasons best to you and yours bud.Sweet job today bud.
Love your videos, always interesting amd informative. You're lookimg great too with the weight loss; I'm in a similar situation as I need to lose about 70lb urgently as my knees are hosed and my blood pressure is bad. I love your attention to precision and the belt and braces approach to alignment. Good job!
Great video Adam as always, Many congratulations on your engagement to Abby, may you have a long and happy life together and maybe next year you create an ABOM 19 !!
Adam.. @18:00 your cutting tool has a positive cut in the X axis. but a negative cut in the Z axis. . where @26:39 your carbide insert has a positive cut in both directions. perhaps changing the angles of your shaper tools to do a positive in both directions or grinding a shallow chip cutter gutter in the Z side of your cutter would get you a fantastic surface finish if you can grind positive for both X and Z faces. you only have to do that to a 3/8" corner of your tool so if it does not work you have not ground away a lot of your tool.
adam I hope you and yours have a good Christmas and new year. I love the slo mo shot that was sweet! and a big thanks for all the videos that you have posted, long may it continue, my god man if this diet continues the way it has you will be marked absent in work shortly!!
Great job and marry Christmas. Watching some of this so reminds me of the first 7.25" gage loco wheels I made, I was given the steal from a truck wreckers which was square and had to make round wheels (all 12),, the only way to machine it was to pre heat the steal to blue and with high quality tips I had to work hard and fast, by the time I was done with one wheel all 4 corners of the tool was done for, the loco is still running the same wheels and has been for the last 25 years and have not worn much. The fun after machining each wheel was the cleaning up of it all.
Hi, im new to your channel but love it !! I had a uncle that was a machinst for over 50 yrs and as a younger wrench head I worked off and on running machines ! My uncle could walk into any machine shop and get begged to start working there and in just a short time watching your videos I can tell you love your work . I would love to watch you cut down and respline axels on race cars rear ends > if you don't do that type of work l will still keep watching you . Thanks for reading this and be safe ! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year !!! Lets stop world fighting and start becoming friends with each other . Bernie Yates Sr. from Alaska
take care Adam, best wishes for Christmas, and wishing you and your family the best of new years. thank you for your videos, I really love them all.... a million miles from what I do, but I dont know how to describe how much I love to watch you machine stuff (actually, its less the machine, I love watching the prep; how to hold the part...... fascinating) keep it up Adam, I really appreciate you showing us what you do. /respect .... n00t
Adam you look FANTASTIC now with all of your weight loss. Man, I am very happy to see you getting healthy!
50 years ago, in vocational machine shop in high school, my partner in crime ( Westley Peterson ) and my self would always set the shaper up to take what we called "mother cuts " . Always got the panic reaction from the instructor . But man that old machine would be ripping the metal off like no bodies business !!
You prolly dont care but if you are bored like me atm you can stream all of the new movies and series on instaflixxer. I've been binge watching with my girlfriend these days xD
@Bradley Yael Definitely, have been watching on instaflixxer for years myself :)
Who in tarnation would dislike this fine southern young man?
No one in their right mind, is who!!!
I think he goes by the name of B. A. H. Humbug!
Merry Christmas to Adam and Abby and Everybody who Follows this Channel and Everyone you are close to.. I hope to follow all of you in the coming New Year..
Really like the sweet sound of steel being cut when the block was on it's third and fourth side; the tool was in good tune right there.
It's been thirty years since I worked in a machine shop; CNC equipment was just taking hold back then. It's wonderful to see young men with your dedication to, and level of craftsmanship and mastery. My wife just commented that she has never seen me watch a UA-cam video longer than twelve minutes. I want you to know I enjoyed every second.
I really liked the slow-mo on the lathe. It is great seeing exactly how the chips form.
Good idea for them branding irons is get an Ink pad and use the branding irons to mark up parcels and packages with them aswell
*_Touché_*
Just for giggles, have you put an insert toolholder in the shaper? I'm curious about the surface finish quality if you ran coated carbide. -----Aaron
It's amazing that those inserts can take the beating of that interrupted cut.
took metal shop in high school ( 69-72) loved it don't offer it anymore, wish i had all your tool/machines thanks for the vids, MERRY CHRISTMAS!
Our Vocational Metal shop was so well equipped it could have doubled as a job shop. (70-72). My son had a small CNC in his shop class (93) . Sad that kids today don't have that.
....David Lee Roth graduated 1972!

Dude That slow motion shot was dope!
Merry Christmas Adam and equally importantly, congratulations on passing the quarter million subscriber mark, I think you had less than 20,000 when I first started watching you. Very many thanks.
The slow motion was a nice touch.
Ho lee craaaaap! That slow-mo interrupted cut is the most awesome thing I've seen in a while!
Ah heck ya. More shaper action. I love the shaper. Merry Christmas to you and your family Adam. Please take the time to be with family during this time of year and we will see you in the new year.

Happy Christmas and a prosperous New Year Adam from England! Thanks for all your hard work over the past year.
Shaper content is the best content. I don't do jack with machining, but I really love watching this stuff. It's fascinating.
Hey Adam! Thanks so much for sharing your experience and skills with us throughout the year. Your road trips, cooking and adventures with Abby are all part of us getting to know you, and I see a deeply experienced but humble and gentle man that has a clear vocation to teach and share.

Getting to look forward to every Saturday to watch some of your awesome videos. Thank you, wishing you a merry Christmas and a happy new year
@29:17 that's a truly superb finish from an interrupted cut. Shows how your experience and skills are worth every hour, month and year you have spent learning.
That high speed/ slow mo footage, awesome!
I love work on the shaper. I appreciate seeing the step by step process. Great video and editing. I feel like I am standing right beside you.
I loved those shaper chips. And the threading chips were beautiful. Never done metal work, didn't know it could be so pretty.
I liked the interrupted cut slow mo shots, very interesting to see what carbide has to put up with and not shatter.
Hey Adam. I would love to see you do an episode where you attempt to make the best finish possible with a shaper. I would find that fascinating. I love the shaper.

I'M BOOTED FROM REPLYING ON FACEBOOK, BUT I SAW A YOUNG LADY SAY YES, CONGRATULATIONS TO BOTH OF YOU , HOPE YOU HAVE ALL THE HAPPINESS IN THE WORLD
It never ceases to amaze me the power of the shaper. Peeling off .125" with a .030" step over across nearly 8 inches of steel is serious power. Looking at the chip produced is proof! Thank you for sharing these wonderful machines. Merry Christmas to you and Abby thanks for another year of great videos.
i like to watch abom videos in reverse and watch this southern magician recycyle gear shafts and hydraulic fittings back into their solid stock forms
Merry Christmas to you, Abby and your families. Thanks for the videos.
I was whittling away on a block of steel in my mill yesterday and thought “how cool would it be to do this on a shaper”. I love that machine. Merry Christmas Abom.
Wow! That slo-mo was awesome. Incredible the tool doesn't shatter.
Jay Kaye, that was my thought exactly!! Carbide doesn't like interrupted cuts!
MAN, this was a sweet video! Seeing (and hearing) you turn down a square block on the lathe was great, and then you went a SLOW-MO'D it!!! DANG!!!! The finish on that piece is fantastic too!
And you look great, by the way! Somehow you look like you have more energy and there's something about the look in your eyes these days! It make me happy to see you looking like you're doing good for yourself :)
Adam's channel is one of the reason I'm addicted too utube. Yes, I have a problem

Nice work! Watching your vids makes me wish I was still making chips. Stay safe and a Merry Christmas to you folks.
you had me at shaper! Back in the high school days. Awesome videos sir.
Wow Adam, I've missed a few episodes due to travel but oh boy are you doing well! Absolutely fantastic to see you make such progress. Keep it up!
Wow Abby better watch out for those branding irons. She could fast become a part of the inventory. And Abom only collect nice things.😁
If the shaper is good, the tool is good, and the machinist has all his head gears meshing, the job looks great, measures right, and the cut sounds sweet. Makes for a good xmas if quality work matters. Congratulations, and have a great festive season.
Merry Christmas and a happy new year to you and Abby love your videos working my way through them slowly. Bernard from England.

weight loss---- looking good. God bless you all, Merry Christmas/Happy New Year from Humble, TX.

Adam, Gorgeous scalloped piece on your shaper and at work thanks for sharing.!.!.!.
OMG, you're looking so much slimmer! Happy Christmas from England 🎄.
I am following you for a long time and you are one my favourite teachers out there. Greetings from Greece.
Go anywhere near Abby with one of those branding irons and you'll be speaking with an octave higher voice in the next video (if you're even able to make another video) ;-)
Have a good Christmas.
Awesome video! love seeing the shaper at work...classic!!!

Fabulous work, Adam. I wish you and your whole family a great Christmas season!
Totally not maching related but as a large man i would greatly appreciatea video of the process of weight loss and ups and downs . looking great brother.
Nice job. The finish looked very professional
And who knew all them hole's and thread's and stuff was hid in that block of metal ? Merry Christmas Adam and Abby. God bless.
Wish you a merry Christmas, Adam!
Merry Christmas, Adam. Congratulations regarding your engagement! I wish you guys all of life's best.
Probably best not to brand Abby I think the engagement ring is the better option 🙂
Congratulations on your engagement....
You don't need anything for Xmas you already have the best toys.
MARRY CHRISTMAS TO YOU AND YOUR FAMILY
HELLO Adam, thanks a lot for this nice shaper action vids, this tool cut steel like butter : impressive. Good idea too the slow motion on the lathe the sound is funny.
Merry Chritmas and happy new year to you and your family🌲🍹🍰🍹🥂
Loved the finish at 31:38. Happy Holidays!
Excellence as always. I love watching your vids, you're a great teacher. Merry Christmas to you and yours.
I just love watching that sharper do its job. Merry Christmas and a happy new year to you and Abby love the videos .
Merry Christmas Adam and your family from Tooradin in Victoria Australia. Love the big machining.
Looking great man each month I've see you slim up not used to hearing your deep voice with your frame lol used to seeing a large guy with a large voice. Your giving me motivation to do things I would have other wise over looked. Keep up the good work we all want to see you succeed and excelle. Also Merry Christmas and have a wonderful New Year.
As always, another great video Adam! Really liked the slo-mo too!
Adam, Beautiful branding irons.!.!.!.
I’ve used some stock like that, of course not as big. It less expensive to find a piece of square plate than a piece of round. I needed a adapter plate for my lathe dog project so that’s what I used. People would be surprised how well that kind of plate machines. Great job.
Merry Christmas to you and your entire family
Great video Adam.. great stuff as always...
Merry Christmas to you and Abby
And a joyous New Year...
Great post as usual Adam. I always really enjoy them for sure.Love the books and shapers are soooo underestimated and reg. used any more. Great to see you with it.. Seasons best to you and yours bud.Sweet job today bud.
i only got one comment ,dude you lost a lot of weight which looks good on you and its better for your health keep it up !!merry xmas from holland
Merry Christmas, Adam!
Thank you for sharing your extensive knowledge.
You are making great machinists out of all of us.
Capt. Art
Love your videos, always interesting amd informative. You're lookimg great too with the weight loss; I'm in a similar situation as I need to lose about 70lb urgently as my knees are hosed and my blood pressure is bad. I love your attention to precision and the belt and braces approach to alignment. Good job!
Great video Adam as always, Many congratulations on your engagement to Abby, may you have a long and happy life together and maybe next year you create an ABOM 19 !!
Adam.. @18:00 your cutting tool has a positive cut in the X axis. but a negative cut in the Z axis. . where @26:39 your carbide insert has a positive cut in both directions. perhaps changing the angles of your shaper tools to do a positive in both directions or grinding a shallow chip cutter gutter in the Z side of your cutter would get you a fantastic surface finish if you can grind positive for both X and Z faces. you only have to do that to a 3/8" corner of your tool so if it does not work you have not ground away a lot of your tool.
Abom79...Where engineering and artistry collide!! Excellent job, my friend! As usual!
Great video Adam, always enjoy learning something new every time. Merry Christmas to you and your family.
Awesome as usual Adam, Merry Christmas to you and Abby. That slo-mo shot was great, sure did like that. :)
Good SNS Adam, thanks and Merry Christmas to you and Abby.
It is funny, how satisfying it is to watch that tool, cut chips over and over again. It is the same in the lathe. Sooo satisfying :D
?mm,
Nice job, great camera work too. Ping, ping, ping! Love the sound of chips coming off the shaper.
That turned out nice & loved the slow mo. Merry Christmas to you and yours. Jeff
flame cuts were really good. good content.
adam I hope you and yours have a good Christmas and new year. I love the slo mo shot that was sweet! and a big thanks for all the videos that you have posted, long may it continue, my god man if this diet continues the way it has you will be marked absent in work shortly!!
Great job and marry Christmas.

thank you for your videos, I really love them all.... a million miles from what I do, but I dont know how to describe how much I love to watch you machine stuff (actually, its less the machine, I love watching the prep; how to hold the part...... fascinating) keep it up Adam, I really appreciate you showing us what you do.
