Hey Adam! This fixture is working out really nice, and great to see you enjoying the ride so much! Blasting through the machining with milling operations to get the job done as fast as possible to make a profit is not what this is about. I love that the YT channel and Patreon support allows you to take the time to show us different techniques whilst still giving Jody the coolest, highest quality welding fixture money can buy. Great work!

Love the shaper, Adam. Reminds me of a faithful old donkey walking on a treadmill or turning a capstan. Tireless, patient, peaceful, just plodding away, gettin' the job done... I appreciate why modern machine shops don't favour them - people want computerised multi-role milling machines and a shaper just isn't versatile enough to justify the floor space it takes up - but it's great to see there's life in the old girl yet. ;-)

At about the 1:15 mark, he starts tapping on the head with the plastic mallet. You can see several dents in the side of the head where, I’m guessing, previous owners used steel hammers, or even worse, pieces of metal (maybe work pieces) to do the same thing. Nice to know a responsible person like Adam owns this wonderful piece of history now.

seriously, I have watched maybe 3 or 4 Abom79 videos, and I can't get over the way he literally finds the slowest way to do everything. I managed a very large machine shop for about 10 years and we there's no way in a million years we could turn a profit doing things this way. Having said that though, It's really nice to watch a young guy machining the way our fathers and grandfathers did, it's like a step back in time. I love watching chips fly, and this is no exception, but i get anxiety thinking about all the wasted time and money. I may have to subscribe and watch a few more videos so my psychologists has something to work on next time i go see him about my anxiety issues.

Awesome vid Adam. I cant remember what video you first showed us using the shear tool in the shaper, but I seem to remember it was entering the material point first and pushing material away from the cut. Today you have it going the other way shoving the chip towards the cut. Was that an oversight on your setup, or does it not matter? Might be worth making more test cuts to see if one ways better, plus it'd be more time on the shaper. Can't wait to see more, Aaron.
