SNS 212 Part 1: Shaper Tool Head Rebuild

[@brentgalye2936]

Adam, love the vids, I am an aircraft maintenance engineer, I wish that 1/2 of the apprentices I have worked with over the years had the same love of their tooling as you do. Watching you on the manual machine tools makes me think that I chose the wrong path. Keep it up, hi to Abby.

[@jeffryblackmon4846]

When you clean and polish, the results are fantastic. I enjoyed seeing the head returning to full function.

[@jerrycoleman2610]

Adam, your G&E is the sweetest I have watched being restored, one day long ago it was new, then it used and abused, now it’s like New May even better, always enjoy your videos, thanks for sharing.!.!.!.

[@pmgodfrey]

One of the best things about being a machinist...you make the parts that make the parts. Pretty much nothing is unfixable as long as you're willing to spend the time and money to recondition something.

[@Andrewlang90]

Lookin good Adam!! Your slimming down every SNS. Keep up the hard work. The shaper should count it’s blessings. Went from the basement of forgotten thoughts to the home of a true master craftsman😀

[@Abom79]

Good one Andrew! 😁

[@vaanes]

Really glad to see you wearing a face shield with the angle grinder. A friend of mine just had a piece of metal sneak past his safety glasses while grinding and lost most of the vision in that eye.

[@SamS-ni9kb]

Hope you feel better soon! Thanks for cranking out some great new content even though you’re under the weather.

[@squelchedotter]

That "Part 1" in the title makes me really happy

[@stxrynn]

Ditto

[@JRD77VET]

Once again, looks great. If you need an expanding pin that is stronger than the split pin you used, check out "spirol pins" ( yes that is the correct spelling ). A spirol pin is rolled sheetmetal instead of a single layer made round. Jeff

[@Abom79]

Sounds like roll pins to me

[@gaz1967]

A very therapeutic episode, it's always nice when things are going to plan.

[@raincoast2396]

Small parts matter. 'For the want of a horse shoe nail, the battle was lost'. Good lesson behind that. Cheers.

[@stxrynn]

I bought a used Brown and Sharpe 0 size dividing head from an estate. It sat in an unconditioned shop for several years. The old timer got Alzheimer's and his daughter took care of him till he passed. Windows fell out of the shop, squirrels and rodents lived there for years. Your file work gives me hope that I can get this running again. He was sure tough on his equipment. Hammer marks all over and the dovetails have broken areas where it hit the floor.... several times. Thank you so much for the hints on how to round the edges and smooth the curved parts.

[@joelkton1]

Adam, I love watching over your shoulder. Thanks for letting me hang out in your shop.

[@charlescompton4495]

Now that's the way to take care of machines; Great video, hope you get to feeling better, Greg

[@Huskiedrive361]

The devil is in the details. Clean and repair every piece, and when you are done, you have a masterpiece of American machinery! Nice job Adam.

[@Neffers_UK]

Wow, just chilled out so much I fell asleep at my desk! Don't take this as a bad thing Adam, love your tranquil vids, easy going and stuff.

[@gregorywest2029]

Adam thanks for the great video's. In the new shop has metal ceiling, what about using a mag base for your camera to hang from the ceiling, that way movable and more floor space. Keep them comming, Greg.

[@victoryfirst2878]

When it comes to measuring tools Sharon Tomico is second to none. Light accurate and really well made in the good old and cold southwestern Minnesota, in the US of A. A very nice acquisition you got Adam.

[@joshkitzan3615]

Adam, Thanks for all your videos! I wish I had followed a different career path after finding your videos. Your methods and precision to everything you do is very inspiring. You now have my patrion support because I look forward to your sns specials like a kid used to look forward to Saturday cartoons. I'm in agriculture now and you have given me a great respect to our local machine shop. Now when I need repairs done I have a greater understanding of the process of what goes down in the machine shop. Keep up the great work you sir are a great guy.

[@Abom79]

Thanks Josh!

[@heelf5277]

Yet another great "love for your tools" job, mate, LOVE your passion (keep It up)

[@Pnrc-b2u]

I’m a nurse, I also dona bit of wood turning. I have a couple of pairs of the, they are so useful for holding small fiddly things. I love your videos. The are the highlight of my weekend.

[@terrycannon570]

Get well soon Adam. I had the terrible flu back in February and thot i was never going to get over the cough. I love those Vidmar cabinets. None better in my opinion. Every good tool room should have them in it. I've used Equipto and Vidmar and the Vidmar are the top shelf cabinets. Thanks for the update on the Shaper. Again don't stress yourself out making us a video. Get some rest.

[@1bmwrider]

Sorry you are feeling bad Adam . Get some rest and take care of your body.

[@manuelg.2283]

Thanks Adam for the video sns 212. Nice to see the shining surfaces that your parts have now. I enjoy the time, if i look on a saturday evening over your shoulder. Have a nice weekend and many greetings from Duisburg in Germany

[@orkidknog4147]

coming along good, it will be better than new when your finshed and got it working, oh you have got it working as seen in other places good job man

[@Godzilla032]

Thanks for another great video Adam. Best machining video channel on KZbin easy. All the best.

[@hmshopfix6283]

Adam, NOBODY has luck like you cutting off those two tiny roll pins. Anyone else would find them shot all over the shop! LOL That shaper is going to be one smooth fine working machine! Eric

[@Liwayputi]

Those Vitmar drawers are great! We have them at work. Just be sure to file the edges of the drawer handles! They are sharp!! You’re looking good man!!!

[@loganpe427]

The "wavy parallels" made me crack up 😁😁🤣🤣🤣 never seen or heard of them, how cool !

[@Ogma3bandcamp]

Always appreciate the footage Adam. For the amount of awesome stuff you get sent for free, you should go giveaways and give something back to your faithful viewers.

[@chrismacdonald2511]

You sound like a millenial; "He's got so much stuff he should give some away". Most people sent him stuff in appreciation for his videos. I'm sure that if someone wanted their stuff given away, he wouldn't have a problem doing so. Adam puts a lot of time and effort into his videos that you are watching for free.

[@mfletch392]

Thanks for the update Adam; Those knipex pliers are good I have some good if you have weak hands

[@davidmotoman4956]

The surfaces came up like Brand New mate. Spot on

[@yanwo2359]

Adam, why does it always look like you're drilling butter? What a wonderful opportunity it is to look over the shoulder of a master machinist and be tutored by him. Thanks very much for taking the time to make these videos!

[@Nf6xNet]

I hope you feel better soon, and thanks for sharing all of the cool stuff that you do.

[@Gkuljian]

What a crackup. I think I saw that Craigslist ad for the cabinets. I'm also looking for something like those. There's a bunch of Lista stuff on a ebay seller's site that aren't too bad. It's the shipping that makes them over my price range though. Good stuff.

[@martysmith2422]

Those precision stones are amazing! You can instantly feel that the contact patch is essentially the whole surface of the stone. Super nice.

[@music-jn3wn]

Hey Adam. 2 am here in Thailand. I see you post a vid.. I'm in! 55 today, your vid is a birthday gift . Thanks brother, I hope you get well soon. Cheers from the land of sunshine and smiles.

[@johnelliott3866]

music happy birthday from ireland!

[@2secondslater]

I love the care you take of your machines

[@johntompkins147]

Nice Work Adam

[@johnleake708]

Thanks for another great video..... and greetings from snowy Northern Utah.

[@21ratrod]

Hi Adam ,I just Subscribed ,been fooling around with Machinist work at home since retiring in 2008I have had no formal training In this field ,what I have learned has been through reading ,and videos .For me Your videos are easy to follow ,and understand ,I Greatly appreciate Your channel .I'm having fun here in rural Missouri .Best regards ,CCampbell

[@iliketorockrock]

allways nice to see a new vid from you, great work and im learning alot watching your videos!

[@AKfishkayaker]

Adam those Knipex parallel grip pliers would have squeezed the pins into the key with no effort. They are the most useful pliers ever made.

[@jefferdman5921]

Nice job Adam!

[@badvlad9861]

Your video's particularly on the shaper are like a weekend pass with all rides at 6 flags!

[@0ADVISOR0]

looking pretty good... yea.. good? Holy cow man, that thing looks like new =D good work!

[@ProDMiner]

Hey Adam I used to work in the cold a bunch and get insanely bad colds. What I found works very well is “theraflu” get the powdered one and mix it up as a shot not tons of water and drink it it. Do that twice a day for two days and you should be great afterwards. Hope this helps ya :)

[@bcbloc02]

Looking like new man! Those cabinets would make a great desk/ work bench if you moved them apart and put a top on them. They are super stable and can hold a lot of weight.

[@doctordeutz3601]

Good job Adam ! Big 👍

[@nerysalguero3956]

I've been trying to watch this video gour times already but keep falling asleep. Damn asmr effects

[@viscache1]

It’s interesting that America is not the only country that manufactures big steel. But equally interesting is that so much of American made big steel remains functional, relevant and under heavy industrial use a century after it was made. My average large tractor is over seventy years old, my logging equipment over fifty and my shop manufacturing equipment almost 150 years old and with good maintenance there is no likely end to its usefulness in my lifetime. I enjoy watching you fix and put back into service these great pieces of American made steel. (He says..Squeezing back a tear of national pride....you know..from back when it was okay to be proud of the great things about America?)

[@clutch5sp989]

Just noting you posting this during our great President Trump's first term. Your last sentence makes no sense or really means you hate America.

[@viscache1]

@@clutch5sp989 >not sure how you got that. Trump has indeed been a great president. Most men would have crumbled under the scathing hatred and vitriol which he has wrongfully and illegally endured from several members of the social/communist liberals in Congress. When I wrote this comment I was horrified by the widespread hatred of America being shown by the terrorists burning our cities, shooting American children in the streets and extorting small businesses to pay protection as if they could run an organized syndicate with impunity...which in many large, largely Democratically controlled cities across America..they not only could but were encouraged by elected leaders in direct violation to the state and federal laws. I am proud of America. We have made great strides in the treatment of all people. We have not reached perfection but we continue to strive for better. Your accusation either springs from ignorance of what was happening at the time or a purposeful misunderstanding of my relevant comment. You can do better.

[@Pavinsteelman]

Moving along nice work ,should have taken picks of our shop 4 -36" Cincinnati shapers , Cincinnati and Gray planners .one planer was 8x40 table !

[@PhilsProjects]

nice repair Adam. the pride shines through. great to see. Cheers

[@peterwalker7869]

Get into the vitamins Adam. I remember when my ex-wife moved out, I was concerned of things lacking in my diet. I was taking 500 units of vitamin C daily. I went 2 years without any colds or flu. Others would be off work and I would only get a cough or a bit of a stiffly nose, but never needed a day off sick.

[@jonka1]

Yes I have taken 500 mg every day for 31 years and never had a cold. Used to catch several every year before.

[@Pnrc-b2u]

Nice pair of Spencer-wells artery forceps.

[@Abom79]

A viewer give me a few of them a while back. 👍🏻

[@KPearce57]

Have never used forceps for that---ha-ha

[@shortribslongbow5312]

Looks better than new nice job Adam.

[@francoisfouche2568]

Great job Adam, your attention to detail is astounding!! There is one thing I do NOT understand, even as someone who is not a machinist ... the thumbs downs on this video, how is that possible, what could their reasons be? I know that there will always be haters but what did they not like??

[@Andrewlang90]

Francois Fouché Their reasons are petty. Probably do to the fact that they’d like to be a machinist but aren’t, or they wish they had a shop like his and don’t

[@ickipoo]

I suspect "Huh? KZbin recommended this video, but there are absolutely no cats! What gives? Thumbs down!"

[@Abom79]

One of the great mysteries of KZbin!

[@turningpoint6643]

Probably not a complete mystery, I strongly suspect there's a few around who do it on purpose simply because it drives comments about "why" anyone would do so on something there's obviously nothing to dislike to begin with. Maybe they thrive on stupid crap like that? You can't fix stupidity, arrogance or just being a true A-hole on purpose without something that's moving about 180 grains at 2700 fps or more right between the eyes. Tough part is hitting that peanut sized brain rolling around like it's in a boxcar. :-) The more subscribers and more importantly the better the channel the more you seem to see those dislikes for zero reason. Have a look at the top subscribed channels on YT and what there about, pretty much says it all about average IQ and wot seems to impress a whole lot of people. :-( Personally I think YT should change things so the likes/dislikes show the user name list just by clicking on it. I can't recall hitting the few dislikes I have without saying exactly why. Clickbait pictures always get an automatic one from me.

[@JamesDedmon]

Great work as usual.. Adam I know you are not a Harbor Freight fan but on of the most handy tools in my shop is the 3” cut off tool, I cut a lot of small screws and threaded rod for my projects. That cut off tool is perfect for that kind of work. Just something to consider

[@Abom79]

James, I buy a few things from HF. I have bought a couple of the air grinders, including the angle sander. They usually work well for the money. I've been considering one of those US General tool boxes for my hand tools.

[@JamesDedmon]

I have one of those boxes in my shop for my hand tools. I’m satisfied with it. For the money you can’t beat them

[@mrblack61]

Dont forget to have the bottom drawer out of those cabinets adam, theres normally treasure to be found ;)

[@Zerostar369]

Love it brother! I wish I was there helping you.

[@6NBERLS]

Most excellent. SNS makes my day.

[@josephmorgan8370]

A large magnet below the vise would catch small parts as they fall during a cutting operation like that roll pin. One from a speaker is actually perfect. And if you put it in a ziploc bag cleaning the filings off is easy.

[@donaldappelhof2059]

I’ve been trying to figure out what is missing and wrong with mine and now I know how to fix it! Thanks!

[@stephenwagar2663]

A#1 , Great Project

[@tarjeidavidsen7611]

a 2 part Hour of Adam? Yesssss. Feel better soon bro!

[@rodneywroten2994]

great job Adam. love your work

[@RickRose]

Great project to follow--Thanks!

[@buffmaster0001]

I'm curious as to why you don't do wet sanding when you break out the sandpaper?

[@63256325N]

Thanks for the videos.

[@jtsausagepatty]

Crazy its like every episode i watch i can hear either an ambulance or firetruck in the backround 😆

[@itsConnorVII]

he probably lives in chicago

[@overkillaudioinc]

OOOOH Wavey parallels? I need to get those!

[@lourias]

Calling Dr. Adam, calling Dr. Adam, ABOM79 you have a patient at 35:18. LOL... the blue rag drape reminded me of the operating and procedure rooms. LOL

[@carlsartor1423]

A few weeks ago I was assembling a AR-15 lower and was putting in the spring and detent for the piviot pin, the first time both the spring and detent went flying, I found both! The second I only found the spring, a few weeks later I was doing another and when they both flew out I found them and the detent from the first one!

[@randomdude1786]

I think knowing how it all went together will make it more interesting to watch you use it. ya you look pale cold/ flu they tell ya chicken soup (its just that your body can break that down without expending as much energy to do so) orange juice always makes me feel better course I can drink a gallon of that in two days any way ya that shapers gonna be awesome

[@bxb590]

Adam, I did the same thing and bought beautiful cabinets where I could put everything away. It was almost a good idea. As I get older my memory fails me. Now I can't find anything.

[@joelsee7941]

What up man love the videos you make, all of them, I appreciate you putting the knowledge you've gained out there for the masses to benefit from, I've learned a lot from watching you, in fact I've been machining for the last few years strictly manually, I started school fir machining so i could make the money i should be anyway and its mandatory we learn mastercam but I believe that manual machining is the far higher artform and hope to never have to run a cnc. Anyway, thanks again for the opportunity to learn these things. Oh and if you don't want the scherr tumico inside mic set I would be interested in acquiring it, I'm from Minnesota and that's where they are made so I have a soft spot for the brand. Sorry for the long message wasn't sure how to contact you otherwise. Joel.

[@petecaluori5939]

Ah yes those Starrett punches are the absolute best. Went through a bunch of other brand names before getting a set of Starrett!

[@watahyahknow]

a small think someone working on automatic transmissions shoed me is use a piece of nappa lather (the keather stuff you use to get waterdrops of glass) and put some light machine oil on it everything that drops off the part on top and lands on that leather will stay there and not jump up or fly off , works great on keeping small stuff from getting lost

[@dtimboggs]

Nice to know everyone uses Kelly clamps to hold small stuff.

[@BossmanEight]

All the precision equipment of a good machinist shop and sometimes it comes down to the humble file.

[@MicrophonicFool]

Best part of smart people's saturdays

[@HerrFenchel]

The self-praise is strong in this one.

[@williamsquires3070]

Yet more progress restoring the G&E Shaper! Any chance you’re going to build up the chowdered end (where it looks like someone took a bite out of it) with a weld bead, and shape it back so it looks nice? Keep up the SNS and the good work! 😎

[@glenntrewitt]

Hey Adam - I have an Equipto 30x30" cabinet just like your two new ones, also with locking drawers, except that (1) it's on wheels (removable), (2) the drawers are thinner (5 are 2" and 3 are 2 3/4") and (3) it has a fair number of dividers and (4) a boatload of 4x3" and 2x3" bins. I'm in California, which is not anywhere near Florida. The whole thing is your's for free, but you pay the freight. I'm on a bit of a short fuse (a few weeks) because we're selling the house that it's in.

[@claeswikberg8958]

41:10, damn thats a dirty keyboard, that shaper looks better and better though ;)

[@joepalazzolo4630]

Outstanding !

[@johnlockhart2674]

I HAVE NEVER SEEN A WAVY PARALLEL , LEARNED SOMETHING NEW

[@craigmccuistion4896]

I see a couple bags of Kingsford and a couple of Everlast welders in the corner. Both good choices. I prefer lump and Lincoln, but hey, each to his own.

[@MikeBaxterABC]

I'm enjoying this tool head rebuild!!! ... I would have like to have seen a repair on the broken casting ... maybe cut a bit out of the spare one and braze it in? then ream just the repaired part to suit ... even just for looks

[@markrosa5575]

Great job as always. Good video!

[@ruperthartop7202]

Great video. Thanks Adam

[@jimbeaver3426]

You haven't caught another cold, it's springtime and the pollen is rising and it's simply allergies! I've got the same thing here in N. California with the pine trees and the first signs of pollen. The symptoms are similar to a cold as your body responds to a virus or pollen similarly. Recovery takes about 2-3 weeks. Ask your doctor during your next visit whether they can give you a shot to help suppress the symptoms. There's seasonal shots that my friend gets that'll really helps but need to be given earlier for best results.

[@willishiland6069]

Great video and thanks for sharing! Stay Safe Guys!

[@shawnmrfixitlee6478]

Feel better Adam , Great work man , Will be better than new When yur done !

[@torstenb5248]

Get well soon, buddy.

[@mikekellam365]

I'd be GLAD to horse trade a set of Snap-On roll pin punches for a set of those inside-mics.. Awesome work!! ........again...!!

[@deez_venture]

i believe that's spelled Auburn, Washington... sorry love your videos!!

[@robertkutz]

Adam looking good.

[@christobacon1]

dividers could be made with sheet metal just make a rolled seam for the top so it's not sharp and potentialy a rolled stiffening feature in the middle and you'll be good

[@mealex303]

I have a pretty old brass push grease gun I feel will work well on the oiler on that would grease work in an oiler?

[@jessefoulk]

Cute little vice right there.

[@jessefoulk]

Timothy LaPlante Yea I did.

[@had2galsinthebooth]

Would you making some drawer dividers be a worthwhile video?
