As someone with only woodworking tools at home, I really appreciate the shots where you step back and show what your hands are doing during an operation.
I like the content and style of your videos. You explain enough so we know what's happening but you get down to business in quick order. Thanks for posting.
I bought an old Brown and Sharpe OD grinder at a sale last summer, looked as rough as the shaper. After looking at it I almost didn't bid on it but no one else did either so I bid $50.00 and got it along a big cabinet of grinding wheels, also many other attachments. Spent all summer cleaning it up and painting. Repaired everything and it came out great. Weighs 2900lbs............I love it! Old American iron is the best!!
I'm not a machinist but I enjoy your website I enjoy watching you work thanks for killing time for me I'm just able to get home and you provide me great entertainment
That bearing for the wood shaper, if anyone was wondering, sits on that shaft above or below the cutter. The bearing is used to follow the shape of the work or a pattern either for flush cutting to the pattern or cutting a profile into a curved piece.
Thank you for bringing a beautiful piece of history back to life It's a shame to see a work of art that created the world that we have just sit and rust away
Love old machines. They really made something to last back in the day... Sad to see it in such rough looking shape, but sure would be nice to see it all cleaned up and operational again one day for sure! Nice vid man!
Thanks Adam, for showing these small pieces. Where I did my machining apprenticeship here in Australia, most of my days were filled with those kinds of jobs. Mostly bushings and pulleys and everything else in between for farm machinery. We made good money making replacement parts for big name machinery as it was so expensive to buy OEM parts. Love your channel man 👍🏻
Mr Adam Abom! I love everything you do, but I miss those monster turning projects you did from your old work. Thanks for showing the first project today, brought back that big-iron feel :)
14:00 As a rule, I like to rough both id and od before finishing either, eg face, drill, rough od, let it cool, finish id, face and od. Not that it's critical in all applications, but I found it doesn't take any more time to design operations this way and in some parts it helps get that crucial additional precision.
I call the machine for which you made the stub shafts a Hydro AXE. Great for clearing underbrush and small trees but expensive to operate and maintain.
When I was at Boeing I ran a Cincinatti convertable mill very similar to that one. I did more horizontal work with it than verticle. It was so aggrivating to tram that head in when you used it. There is a tremendous market for those types of wood. Reclaimed timbers etc....... That is a BIG warehouse.
Great video! The wood warehouse machine collection was awesome! Some of those machines were absolute beasts! The wide wood slabs at the beginning of the tour were probably bubinga. The finish planed pile you commented on near the end of the tour is mahogany. I have a friend in Oxford PA who is an exotic wood dealer and they have a 60" bandsaw mill they salvaged from the Philadelphia Navy Shipyard (when the shipyard cut millions of board feet of teak for the decks of battleships and other military vessels), restored it and now a railroad tracked carrier moves gigantic logs of mahogany and other exotics past its 6" wide blade. Unbelievable machine!
Do you have a name for the wood dealer? I could use another place near me. I'm in Levittown Pa Oxford is only 1 1/2 hours away. The wood dealer i use is hit or miss with what i need.
I know exactly which bandsaw they have. It's a Fay & Egan. They must have bought it after the auction was over. I was at the auction and it didn't sell during the initial bidding. The opening bid went down to $5.00, yes, five dollars, and no one raised their hand. It took every bit of self control I had not to buy it. I didn't have a place to put it and the rigging costs to remove it would have been well into the thousands of dollars. There was a like new Turner re-saw bandsaw that sold for $500.00. A dealer ended up with that one. There was a lot of really nice machinery that went dirt cheap at that auction. Anyway, I'm glad that the Fay & Egan found a home. I really thought that it was going to end up in the scrap yard.
When I cut my teeth as a machine shop machinery repair technician we had Barber Coleman spur gear hobs just like are shown I this video. We had a Fellows gear shaper as well. These machines were replaced with CNC technology in 1993. Your brief pan over the machines brought back memories. The small machines used non adjustable shaft V belt design for power transmission. Impossible to stretch or tension a standard V belt, they employed link V belts. Fitting link belts together under tension was a chore. The first two layers were not too bad, but the third layer was an extreme fight. Link belts are super popular on wood working machinery today to smooth out the thumping of standard V belts. I don't recall now if those Barber Coleman machines used the popular wood working red belt material, but the black mineral oil cutting fluid used on those machines had those belts black as sin when I worked on them.
здорово, ребята, что вы реально что-то производите руками, а не потными пальцами на экране чертей гоняете :) Я тоже делаю свою мастерскую, восстанавливаю станки, но мне до вас далеко пока :)
Adam, You and this channel are the primary reason there is a lathe, drill press band saw, etc, etc... in my workroom right now. And did you know how much golfers love gadgets? :) There's money to be made for sure! This was a very good mix of content. Great finish on those surfaces.
I am greatful people like yourself take the time to video your work... I've learned a lot watching your video's. I subscribed a while ago. Thanks for another great video.
i was cleaning the output shaft on a Hydro-Ax once with emery cloth and didn't realize that i had decreased the circumference so much that i barely had to heat the bearing race to slide it on the shaft. Got to be careful with emery cloth and surface rust, its easy to take off more than you want.
Enjoyed watching vid, those big machines were impressive and they looked like the owner had restored them. They could have been from rail, ship yards my guess.
Man...jesus..why was I born in the netherlands...there is so much to see and experience in the USA. Those exotic woods..my mouth is getting wet just to have one of these plancks and make myself a beautiful guitar....or two....three maybe? Anyways...I noticed either a machine workplace is kept clean or it is a gigantic mess...
Unless your part is PERFECTLY round the six jaw chuck will still only grip in three places. Nice to hold and own but horribly overpriced unless you absolutely need the precision if required, I m h o !! Stephan the cheapskate
Always good to see lance. He is getting a nice assortment of machines. I have noticed you aren't posting any content from your day job any more if you mentioned the reason I missed it was just curious i always enjoy seeing those projects. Hope you and Abby have a great weekend!!!
@max nex Wow I missed that one must of happened when i had to step away from youtube for a few months when we had to move my wifes mother here and had to take care of a lot of stuff with her I'M sure motion hated to loose Adam but I'M happy for him!!!
Great content Adam, your the best! just wanted to ask if you have ever heard any horror stories about using long pieces of emery cloth on a lathe? Thanks for your time.
As someone with only woodworking tools at home, I really appreciate the shots where you step back and show what your hands are doing during an operation.
Love the old dirty machines. Feels good to rescue one. I"m sure Lance will take good care of it. Thanks for sharing Adam.
Good to see another shaper rescued.
I like the content and style of your videos. You explain enough so we know what's happening but you get down to business in quick order. Thanks for posting.
The surface finish at 09:52 is simply stunning. This is quality work!
Adam's journey of machining is something a person can enjoy watching. Excellent filming and solid content.

I always enjoy watching your work. I have taken so much away from your videos. Thanks for the time and effort you have put into your videos.
Kinda ironic that I got an ad for Motion Industries before this video
I'm not a machinist but I enjoy your website I enjoy watching you work thanks for killing time for me I'm just able to get home and you provide me great entertainment
It has to smell rly nice in that wood warehouse.
I'll bet. I was waiting for Adam to mention it.
That bearing for the wood shaper, if anyone was wondering, sits on that shaft above or below the cutter. The bearing is used to follow the shape of the work or a pattern either for flush cutting to the pattern or cutting a profile into a curved piece.
I really enjoy seeing these quick little jobs from time to time
Thank you for bringing a beautiful piece of history back to life
It's a shame to see a work of art that created the world that we have just sit and rust away
Finish cut metal is so beautiful! Wish it could last like that forever!
Beautiful work. Thoughtful and peaceful. A pleasure to watch. Thanks!

Love your channel man 👍🏻
gotta love that finish from the turning
Adam i hope your health is good and you are feeling strong and light on your feet be well your a good man Adam.
Lots to enjoy, a varied video. Thanks for sharing Adam. Ant, Cid & the Pooch crew.
Beautiful finish on that stub shaft!
Those Iscar IC8250's are freakin bad ass. Excellent tool life with rouging steel with high DOC and SFM
That 6-jaw chuck is gorgeous! I love to see it in use.
Nice video. Thanks for taking us along.
Mr Adam Abom! I love everything you do, but I miss those monster turning projects you did from your old work. Thanks for showing the first project today, brought back that big-iron feel :)
Great post bud. Love when I worked in a job type shop. factory repetition was never a happy time for sure. That 6 jaw is a real dream my friend !
Damn that surface finish was amazing!
You always do a good job Adam.
I knew you were going to chamfer those edges. I feel like a machinist!
14:00 As a rule, I like to rough both id and od before finishing either, eg face, drill, rough od, let it cool, finish id, face and od.

Another nice SNS! Makes Saturday’s worth waiting for. 😎
Nice equipment trailer
Awesome stuff man love seeing old machines
that was very ENJOYABLE ! Thanks Adam ..
Nice to see some actual machining again, thanks!
I call the machine for which you made the stub shafts a Hydro AXE. Great for clearing underbrush and small trees but expensive to operate and maintain.
That wood shop/store is very cool. Yes I could see you with a big live edge farm table. Have a great week.
Watching Lathe work is very relaxing, Great job as usual Abom
Live edge slab...go see Matt Cremona....he has an abom sized sawmill you can play with...
I really like and respect your attention to detail. That's a rare quality.
When I was at Boeing I ran a Cincinatti convertable mill very similar to that one. I did more horizontal work with it than verticle. It was so aggrivating to tram that head in when you used it.

Was recently reading about battleship maintenance and was somewhat surprised to learn that teak was used for a majority of the decking material.
Do you have a name for the wood dealer? I could use another place near me. I'm in Levittown Pa Oxford is only 1 1/2 hours away. The wood dealer i use is hit or miss with what i need.
Hearne's Hardwoods. They have a great website. Forget the address but u can Google them.
I know exactly which bandsaw they have. It's a Fay & Egan. They must have bought it after the auction was over. I was at the auction and it didn't sell during the initial bidding.

@@bobsofia68 Teak is extremely rot resistant which is why it's used for marine purposes.

Paul Hunt thanks for sharing your comment. It was interesting.
Nice! New toys and projects. Can hardly wait for the Norton shaper restoration video series.
Cant wait to see the Norton restore proj.

Nice surface finish on those roller inserts!

the Morey is a 12", if you pause at 32:15 you can see the plate
Thank you Adam I always enjoy watching your videos I am from South Africa
I am greatful people like yourself take the time to video your work... I've learned a lot watching your video's. I subscribed a while ago. Thanks for another great video.
Adam, Nice content it going to be nice seeing the shaper in operation thanks for sharing.!.!.!..
That shaper is in perfect desert camo
Love the wood shop it was so clean. great video Adam
Greetings from the V8Lounge in Germany !!
love watching the machining work, thanks.
enjoyed.....
WOW loved all the Machines. I didn't know THOMPSON made machines tools.
Shaper-shifting - 'there's a hole in my bucket' - dear Liza !
Great video. Great work. Thank you for sharing Adam. Love that victor.
Interesting video today Adam.
Your friend may be interested in some of the Black Walnut that my friend has. Let me know. Thank you.
Great job!!!!

29:27 at first I thought you said pencil grinder, thinking that’s a pretty big machine to sharpen pencils.
Excelente trabajo eres inspiración para muchos que nos gustan tus vídeos . saludos León Guanajuato México.
I wish I lived closer to his warehouse. I would love to buy some of that wood. Nothing like that around me.
I was drooling when he was panning around that warehouse.
I'd love to have one of these smaller shapers
Adam, why didn't you use brass inserts to protect the shaft from the vise? Nicely done!
8 enjoyed this. Thank you for posting and teaching.
That paint job is such an embarrassment to the shaper it is trying it's best to shed it before anyone sees it.
Those chuck parallels are the bee’s knees! I need a set of those!
Yeah, I've not seen those before.
Here ya go www.edgetechnologyproducts.com/chuck-stop-set/
Great video and thanks for sharing! Stay Safe Guys!
HI ABOM, NICE TO SEE YOU BACK AT SOME MACHNING AGEN, PLEASE CAN YOU INCLUDE A BIT MORE ON FEEDS AND SPEEDS?. REGARDS RICHARD IN THE U.K.
Ugh... I never knew they made parallels for lathes... Well there's more tools I have to buy now. ;)
Adam! How is not punching the clock anymore working for you? As always thanks for the great content!
The one piece of equipment that I have not seen you utilize is a good index head. I cannot suggest an index head enough...
I have both a dividing head and a super spacer and use them when needed.
@@Abom79 I was mistaken. I haven't machined anything in years and I was thinking about an index head for cutting gear teeth.
Enjoyed watching vid, those big machines were impressive and they looked like the owner had restored them. They could have been from rail, ship yards my guess.
CNMG 431-__ (IC8250) The 2 or 3 digits after the 431 represent what chip former that insert has. 8250 is a tough general purpose grade.
Is your buddy going to document the restoration of that shaper? I'd love to follow along with that project...
A slotter. Man I learn stuff here all the durn time. 😁
Love the little shaper.look nice agen ..
If Lance drives home fast enough he won't have to strip any paint off that shaper. It looks like it would all blow off!
It looks a lot like my 16" Steptoe did when I got it. Unfortunately not much of it blows off, spent days stripping it. :D
26:19 woah ........little heart stoppage for a second there.
Love ur notepad on the carriage, it won't blow away
Man...jesus..why was I born in the netherlands...there is so much to see and experience in the USA. Those exotic woods..my mouth is getting wet just to have one of these plancks and make myself a beautiful guitar....or two....three maybe? Anyways...I noticed either a machine workplace is kept clean or it is a gigantic mess...
Love the 6-jaw chuck. Wish I had one instead of the 3-jaw that came with my lathe. But gosh-awful expensive!
Unless your part is PERFECTLY round the six jaw chuck will still only grip in three places. Nice to hold and own but horribly overpriced unless you absolutely need the precision if required, I m h o !!
Stephan the cheapskate
Get a thousand of these jobs and youll be set for life.
Very good work.
That lathe looks like it wants a new home. Along with that old truck in the background. Old International or maybe Autocar?
Always good to see lance. He is getting a nice assortment of machines. I have noticed you aren't posting any content from your day job any more if you mentioned the reason I missed it was just curious i always enjoy seeing those projects. Hope you and Abby have a great weekend!!!
@max nex Wow I missed that one must of happened when i had to step away from youtube for a few months when we had to move my wifes mother here and had to take care of a lot of stuff with her I'M sure motion hated to loose Adam but I'M happy for him!!!
Technically all of Adams videos are of his day job now that he is a full time content creator.
When I saw the thumbnail I thought they were each the size of a kitchen table :)
Why don't shops who live in high humidity areas put a little oil or rust preventative on the piece to prevent rust?
Just a thin layer of WD-40 would be sufficient after finishing the work on the machine.
What makes you think they all don't? LOL
Since when do they dont do that?
Nice job Adam
32:14 It does says 12in on that tag
shapers are my catnip
Great content Adam, your the best! just wanted to ask if you have ever heard any horror stories about using long pieces of emery cloth on a lathe?
Thanks for your time.
33:00 could be pieces of old growth cedar from a big west coast tree.
Adam's shaper rescue.
