Learning a lot from watching how methodical you work. I guess that's how pros does it!

[@DoRiteFabrication]

Back to back Abom79 vids...it's a good day!

[@MaturePatriot]

Yes it is. Nothing better than shaper work.

[@MrLembnau]

thats full time abom. i hope this continues.

[@douglasbarnes3506]

My wife loves when Adam fires up the shaper as it makes her fall asleep which is win win for me. Keep rocking Adam.

[@yqwgjsg]

I love the way the shaper almost puts a grain in the metal vs the swirl marks of a mill.

[@dougankrum3328]

Yeah, both are smoother than they appear, but sort of nice to look at...

[@rosswaring2835]

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!

[@alansquires7382]

I’m impressed by your knowledge and skill, and something we don’t see in many engineering shops, it’s spotlessly clean. Brilliant video keep them coming.

[@markramsell454]

Sitting here in the rocking chair listening to the click of the feed, going back and forth, it's so relaxing I could almost... zzzzz. What! It's over already? Have to watch it again.

[@EleanorPeterson]

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. ;-)

[@MattysWorkshop]

I love watching the shaper do its thing, make me just want a buy one and learn just what they can do, love it thanks mate, bloody brilliant 👍

[@scottthomson120]

Watching that beautiful shaper curl chips, is almost as satisfying as standing next to an idling steam locomotive!

[@dirtyknuclesde]

Beautiful Video! Incredible resolution and excellent camerawork and lighting! THANKS Abom!!!

[@LucIn724]

Something so soothingly mechanical (or is it mechanically soothing?) about a shaper. Like an old grandfather clock

[@ryanlukens9280]

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.

[@Abom79]

I covered the hammer abuse back when I was refurbishing the tool head.

[@BDJappe]

As a woodworker I’m not a regular on this channel. Adam I have to say. It’s clear that the workpiece isn’t the only thing getting in good shaped. Good job man.

[@TheAyrCaveShop]

Great job Adam, very enjoyable...Like the detail and explanation of setting the shaper up for the particular cutting operation. Nothing like watching the chips peel off, while enjoying morning coffee. Weather looking nice there, enjoy the rest of the weekend.

[@sheminger]

That GnE shaper is awesome. I wish I had room for such a machine as that. Mine will be so small compared to that beast. The shaper although outdated to modern machines is such an awesome tool. Love it, could watch it all day.

[@johnapel2856]

I'm glad you said that you still enjoy working with the shaper. It makes me feel better about saying "Oh boy, the shaper!" every single time. Love that thing. Thanks.

[@woxnerw]

Brings back memories of using the Shaper at the Halifax County Vocational School 1959 to 1961.. I used the Shaper to build the BASE for the "Knock Off" Starrett Surface Scriber.. Thanks for posting this Video, Adam..

[@IROCKID]

I like how clean you keep your stuff.

[@HaynesJP]

I could sit and listen to that shaper run all day. Like a waterfall, so relaxing!!! Keep up the good work Abom79!!!!!

[@sandy1653]

This might be weird, but I find the noise the shaper makes really soothing. Almost like a metronome as it steadily peels its way through the piece.

[@leecwilkin]

you should start making the shaper videos in 3d. guys will be jumping behind the sofa for cover

[@gth042]

If you send him a camera, I'll buy some VR goggles!

[@kensherwin4544]

We're already reaching for the safety glasses!

[@dougankrum3328]

No sofa for me, but my chair would tip over...

[@soulcatch]

The first few seconds it looked like one of the old shop safety videos we had to watch in high school. Love it.

[@musicbro8225]

I love how you get excited about the shaper :) I agree, the finish has a special beauty about it, like it's been hand crafted by an artist (a title I would not hesitate to apply to you).

[@bones357]

This was an awesome vid, great production! You can tell you were having a lot of fun with it, and it was really fun to watch. So the G&E seems fully dialed in now; and if I had to pick one of your videos to show someone what a shaper is all about, so far, it would be this one! BTW, those parts remind me of chipper blades.👍🏼👊🏼😉

[@Nullpersona]

Nice camera work! The close views of the shaping are very immersive. The audio is outstanding, especially in headphones. The bigger the work piece appears in the thumbnail, the more views it gets, seemingly. A bit like book covers, maybe. Take care!

[@zvonibab]

Passion is so great in your videos it is so great to see you working with so much satisfaction! Cheers Adam!

[@tompryor1807]

Adam, Couple things! One is I really enjoy watching you machine while I'm going thru chemo treatment, It gives me inspirational things to watch and learn more. Second, have ever thaught of putting a row of windows in your roll up door? My roll door in my machine shop, don't have windows, but faces front of my property.

[@Rubbernecker]

At the end when you were showing how the parts bolt to the fixture it reminded me of ToT videos because all we ever see is his black sleeves and hands. Might be time for a ToT parody video!!

[@evilbrat5376]

Don't know why but watchen that shaper cut is like watchen a tennis game ~ can't help but have the eyes and head move back and forth along with that head. Got rid of stiff neck doing that so thanks. Enjoyed this video as well as all the others preceding this one.

[@broken6747]

Therapy bro... something real and unusually relaxing about this machine........

[@brosselot1]

Watching a shaper is like a fishing show you just can't change the channel. Adam great video. You are expiring myself and others out there to chase their dreams. Thanks for sharing

[@kellygingras2170]

I really enjoy your videos I’m a heavy equipment operator and know nothing about machining! I find what you do very interesting thanks.

Hey Adam. I really appreciate your attention to perfection with what you have. It inspires me and I really hope you do well with your solo career.

[@shaneo5196]

The shaper sound always sounds relaxing to with the repeating noise. Very relaxing lol

[@danibrandt1]

Adam, thanks for share all your experience! We are now instaling a Zayer BF3500 milling machine from the 80' here, big job ! Thanks again.

[@nightriderrv1139]

I just love some shaper action !!!! Nice work Abom79

[@J8MORS]

I am absolutely fascinated with this build for some reason. Premium work.

[@silvergoldking]

I wish I had a shaper. Put the next best thing is getting to watch you enjoy it. Great work like always. Thanks for sharing.

[@raincoast2396]

Its been a long road from watching those guys up north load the G&E, then watching you Adam, bring that old shaper back to life again. A really enjoyable journey, with a long way to go yet! Cheers.

[@larrysnyder3475]

I was told by a old machinist years ago that they used regular bar soap instead of oil on shapers back in the day. Don't know if he was pulling my leg or not. He was a great machinist. Great video man.

[@jouna84]

I have to say..those are some beautiful looking pieces you made. Awesome work, as always. And good luck with your ”new” job. Lookin’ good 🤘

[@Cookerab]

I still can't get over how monstrous that shaper is.

[@bostedtap8399]

Great shaper job, quick to set up and quick to reset head to vertical. Less bending with cutting along full length, rather than locally, ref compare to a milling cutter. Thanks for sharing Adam.

[@jimsvideos7201]

That shaper is a thing of beauty for its own sake and because 100 years on it still does exactly what it was designed to without any complaint.

[@billsargent3407]

I had never seen a shaper in action before... I knew the theory and all. That is radically cool!

[@leesuschrist]

I have really only run knee mills and lathes as far as manuals go, in my machining career. I mostly run CNC at my job, but seeing you put that angle on that part without a big complicated setup, I really see where a shaper shines. When I have the money to build my home machine shop, I'm going to strongly consider getting one of these things.

[@railfan439]

Adam, it is obvious to the most casual observer, that you absolutely love working on the G&E. See you at the Bar-Z. Jon

[@StevenAndrews]

Shaper videos are every bit as relaxing as thunderstorm videos.

[@jeffreymurdock8366]

I love listening to the Clapper on that shaper. Music to the ears. Sadly I haven't heard that music today yet but will probably hear it a little later in the video

[@dougankrum3328]

Now that you're self employed, even more impressive that you can take the time to still make the high quality videos…!! And your attention to details, even when they're not needed to be that close...good to develop good working skills early on...makes it easier later...! Your first big job is 'shaping' up quite well....I couldn't resist making that comment...

[@classicrestoration]

Nice camera work from the ground up......makes the shaper look like a monster metal muncher👍

[@bcbloc02]

Something relaxing about the plink plink of a nice shaper cut. :-)

[@johnb5519]

Gotta love that shaper. You have it looking and working great. It cuts so effortlessly.

[@robbiexps]

Love the way those chips are strong enough to flick the clapper up off the job 😋

[@madaxe79]

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.

[@alflud]

Really enjoying this project Adam. You seem really relaxed lately too if you don't mind me saying so :) Awesome! Y'know, there's a sort of music comes off that shaper. Hypnotic there at times.

[@killermacmc]

Beautiful day for shaping!

[@DodgeCrazed]

Absolutely love the shaper and everything it’s capable of. You do fine work sir. Keep it up and keep having fun doing it.

[@markwaters5412]

I still think the shaper is an incredible and interesting machine. love seeing it work

[@dashahearne4540]

Love watching the master at work !.

[@shortribslongbow5312]

Very nice video the G&E is a pleasure to watch thanks for sharing.

[@westernclimber]

Man this is awesome. I think the guys that will use this for weld tests should have to watch the series on its build. just to pump them up about doing the best they can. NASA couldn't do a better job.

[@brytongreenwell2953]

Love the vids man! Been watching since i got a job machining just about 4 years ago. Have learned alot from your videos! Also just wanted to say good job on the weight loss! Completely different from your old vids stud! Lol

[@gth042]

The whole thing was fun and informative to watch, but 21:02, is the best part.

[@TT-mu9jo]

Just the sheer passion and perfection in your work is fantastic! (Looking great BTW)

[@paulrichmond6903]

Beautiful work Adam.

[@elchuco00]

I am super excited and happy for you bud! Being able to do what you like and enjoy for a living.....IN YOUR OWN SHOP!!!! NICE! I love watching that shaper work man. Hey I was watching Steeve Summers video "HEAVY TEST CUTS ON IN STAINLESS ON THE K&T MILL" take a look at the tool bit he uses at 28:54 time line. I like the results he got with it, and was thinking it might be a good experiment for your shaper, just a thought. I do low budget milling in my garage with a pair of vise grips and a tool bit.......takes me a loooong time to do a cut lol. Great job on those parts!!!

[@1970chevelle396]

Jody is going to be happy.

[@heavenlymachining5674]

nice job on the parts, got me more enthusiastic about getting back to my rack gear job on my shaper tomorrow! :)

[@stevegottwald386]

Nice shave looks great - i love to see your machinework!

[@FernandoFCosta]

Great shots, Adam. I was wearing my safety glasses. I could smell the cutting oil smoke...

[@manguydude287]

That's the kind of machine that would be really easy to run into itself

[@haww3rPwr]

Looking at the set up it seems that it would be more ergonomic for welding if the slots were counter bored with some cap screws so that the top of fasteners were flush with the surface of the plates. Anywho.. excellent work Adam! I really enjoy watching your videos.

[@RobertKohut]

Things are really "shaping" up around there... :-) (you & the projects)

[@jeffryblackmon4846]

Those chips peeled off so nicely.

[@josephsienkiewicz1373]

Adam, you are a master craftsman and an inspiration to me

[@soundgod06]

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.

[@schism47]

Absolute work of art Adam.

[@rootvalue]

Why is the shaper so damn satisfying

[@ericlong3792]

Man your a jam up professional those finishes are on point I wish I had a fraction of knowledge that you do in machining

[@MrPossumeyes]

That shaper is SO hypnotic! (wonder if stoners watch this channel?) Still can't get to bed tho. Guess I'll just have to watch to the end. (I'm a time-traveller)

Using the shaper, not because we have to, but because we can! I love that shaper! I remember back in the seventies when all the orange crops were getting frostbit. Is that some Molybedamed oil? Enjoying what you do makes life blessed. It is a shame to ruin that work of art by welding on it. LOL

[@Abom79]

Yep, it’s only new once! 😁

[@madaxe79]

Yeah I'm slowly coming round to Abom79's way of thinking, I've been in a large manufacturing industry for may years, where everything is about time and money, but now i'm starting to enjoy seeing people do things the old fashioned way. This was painful for me to watch, knowing there was a more efficient way of doing it, but then i realize he's not really doing it for profit, he's not trying to make a million bucks, he just want to earn an honest living. Am i getting old?

[@MaturePatriot]

[@quadviewnw7665]

Hey Adam, I love watching the shaper videos. That machine sure makes short work of those cuts. Is it possible to mount the camera close to the cutting head and take some slow motion shots of those big cuts? Keep up the good work on the weight loss. I also made a goal to lose weight in 2018. I started with a goal of shedding a 100lbs. I have lost 80 lbs so far. Do you have a secret to your weight loss, simple calorie restriction? Keep it up, remember nothing tastes as good as thin feels!!

[@hubbsllc]

The shaper is amazing. You’ll show us how this fixture is used, right?

[@johnnymackers]

Hey, your work is awesome! You ever thought about getting a thermal camera to show the amount of heat and how the different cooling method effects your machining??

[@surveywaters]

That shaper vice has me scratchin my head. How did loosening the hold down bolts free the rotation? Thanks Adam, always fun and educational.
