If you went with tubing you would probably have resident freq. going on during your 60deg cuts on the press. It would've been super loud if you went that way. Patience was taught at Covid University. :) This is why our technology is so advance, over-engineering a glove that will never see space.

Adam, just call it what it is: "One Day [at a time] Builds." Love what you do! Thanks for sharing.

[@thomaswenzel5298]

The camera movement from 29:21on is just marvelous. The first angle feels intimate, immersive, playful, framed by the mill itself. The smooth transition to the slitting saw is like getting to the point and then "BAM!" moving out into the open for the conclusion, with more room, more light. Beautiful long take.

[@joe_jaeger]

I honestly love Adam's solution to his milling problem. Him modifying an existing tool to do a job it previously couldn't, is in my mind what it means to be a maker. It's the origin of what making is, and it's why I love being a maker and I love watching makers do what it is they do best. Solving problems only they could run into.

Finally a proper One Day Build again, I was getting worried with all these things that were actually finished in one day.

[@Konranjyoutai]

Adam, you really need to make a broadcast show out of these videos. I could watch you make anything to your hearts desire. You are really the Bob Ross of creation.

[@maxximumb]

Adam, a tip for this kind of work. Think to yourself "This is what I do for my own pleasure / enjoyment. This is a process not a race. What I'm doing now is part of the story. Part of the journey. Not something that is slowing me down." There is no client or prop master tapping their foot for this kind of work, this is for you. Learn to take joy from slowing down, doing things precisely. If it starts to get a bit overwhelming, go watch a Clickspring video. Enjoy the time taken with every stroke of his file to achieve perfection. Then in a calm state of mind, return to the workpiece and enjoy yourself.

[@Joe___R]

Adam, You might want to look into getting some drum silences, they are large rubber straps designed to reduce chatter when cutting brake drums.

[@Finnegan6674]

What people do not understand is the amount of set-up time it takes for a job like that. Set up includes making hold downs where needed, layout of piece, modifying tools and cutters to do the job. many times after 4 plus hours of set-up time I will make 2 just so I do not have to ever do that set-up again. Some days you work your butt off and never get to the first cut of the work piece. Everyone goes thru that and have the feeling of failure or not getting the job done because we never think that the hard time consuming part is now done since there are no pieces to show yet. You are doing a great job, much better then I could do.

For those asking about The Song, it is: "Chill Breed" by Auracle. It is one of the songs on the music service that we subscribe to, which is called Jinglepunks. my.jinglepunks.com/player#versions/374790

[@timetravellingbunny3952]

The large number of comments about the music would indicate to some that the music is a distraction from the video. I found it extremely distracting and muted the sound during those periods. The question may be, Is this a video about Adam and his work, or is it about the editor's choice of music? Do people watch because of or despite the music?

[@chriszfrancis]

@@timetravellingbunny3952 i personally like the music in the videos, it adds to the ambience, ill be cueing this one up next time im doing some craftin

[@tested]

@@timetravellingbunny3952 It's rare we have comments about the music -- it's just that particular song that people seem to like. We've tried other treatments of the timelapses, including ambient noise; music overlay is by far the most popular so far, but totally understand that it's not for everyone. Appreciate your watching and finding a way to personalize the experience.

[@timetravellingbunny3952]

@@tested Thank you for your response. At the risk of beating this with a horse, could the fact that you are getting increased responses about the music indicate that it is taking people out of the video? I wonder if recording with lower volume could be a treatment? But enough of that. Yes, thank you for your response. Anticipating the arrival of my shop apron.

[@1stAshaMan]

@@timetravellingbunny3952 It's possible to enjoy both the project and the music. The biggest issue was that people really enjoyed the music that was selected and it both wasn't listed in the video description and is obscure enough to be hard to search for.

"I'm an impatient monkey wearing shoes." This is going into my sig file. Aslo the get-it-done-itis syndrome of procrastinating because I don't want to start something if I don't THINK have time to make a major accomplishment by the end of the day or chunk of time plages me. Trying to turn on my brain and hold all the things in it like balancing cups and saucers I will need to get into the head space of just before making the first cut - worrying that I will get started, interrupted and all the plates and saucers come crashing down and I have to start stack cups and squaring and shimming and getting this thing just right so I can make that cut and NOT FUCK IT UP after all that effort - it makes the smallest bump a mountain of intimidation. I think there's a Zen of Making book in all the asides you make while making things.

At 12:00, you say the chuck jaws are too small to hold the bar... maybe you know already but you can wind those out and they are reversible, in most cases! Put them back in the other way up and hold on the steps in the jaws. Take care to note the order they come out in and where each one was. Same for your giant brass bolt! Great videos, cheers!

[@littlejason99]

You need to set yourself up an account with local tooling supply stores. They often will make 2 deliveries a day (early morning & early afternoon) to machine shops and as long as you are in a commercial facility I'm sure they wouldn't mind swinging by your place too even if you are only ordering one or two things every now and then.

[@chrisdiamond9246]

We had two ground pins that fitted into the bottom of the vice so that it would lock into the tracks on mill bed. This made it really quick for taking the vice on and off really quick. We also had some other pins that allowed for big plates to squares up against the back rail of the mill bed. Might be something to look at 🤷‍♂️

That, plus all the prep/setup took most of my spare time for an entire week!!! but finally got it done and it turned out perfect:-D the satisfaction of making precision things/parts is hard to beat;-) Love your videos Adam, you are a great inspiration and when i have the time i allways enjoy them. best reg.

Using blueing on larger areas like that I have always used a pipe cleaner bent at a 90 to cover more area at one time. Just a quick tip from on maker to another. If you saw my can of Dykem it would always have a pipe cleaner bent around the lid.

Please consider covering the ways of the lathe when you grind on it. Grinding dust is quite abrasive. Even more so when grinding hardened steel (such as that cutter likely was).

Hey Adam, seeing as you had a 2nd block and indicated you might have another go - did you think of broaching the lines rather than cutting them out with a rotary mill? I recall seeing a 60° broaching bit used for the cutting of teeth on a cog wheel and I thought that you might get cleaner, more consistent cuts. And what happened to your annular cutters?

Someone needs to setup a web site for "Tested: Machinist Bingo" cards... Alternately we need a tested 'builders' forum for people to give feedback and discuss the things that he's doing with the machining videos. These videos are a GREAT learning opportunity, but the buried/random youtube comments on the subject don't seem to actually generate any productive criticism, since they all devolve to "here's what's wrong" vs "adam's a pro, he knows what he's doing". (despite adam himself regularly clarifying that he *doesn't*...)

You know since this is my preofession i seperate the floowing stuff: There is trial and error working in your shop, like tiling, painting, using the anglegrinder Drill etc. You can also very seriously hurt yourself on a table saw, but in most cases it will result in a serious wound. Lathe and Mill totally play in a different ballpark for me and i respect them each day....down to all time propper clothes etc. if they take your arm you are "lucky" ... ands ince those machines are all over the place on youtube lately and they are mostly presented as "high end shop equippment" i really think people have a hard time getting how serious those "tools" are.
