Kearney & Trecker Parking Attachment Part 10

[@esoomreltna]

Adam, Don't let this incident cast a shadow on all of your excellent, detailed work. You are a true master and you do all of us a big favor by sharing your shop with us. All the best, Eric

[@2024bear]

I have watched movie after movie of yours and you have helped me become a better machinist than I was. With this small snaffoo with the mill digging in help me realize ....... you are human and quick on making the adjustments to repair it. I run a Reed Prentice lathe from my wheel chair and you have helped me tremendously. Thanks for your clips.

[@DougHanchard]

Mistakes and accidents happen. In my opinion, nobody can become a master of their domain without them. Nice repair and documentation how to fixed it. +1

[@princetikki]

When you share a mistake on KZbin, not only did you learn from it, we all learn from it! Thanks sir!

[@AndrewChilcott100]

Really enjoying the build and thanks for showing us the mistakes and how you went about fixing it, we all know how bad it feels when stuff like that happens and it takes a lot to share them with the public 👍

[@Drmcunningham]

It takes a big man to share his mistakes with the world. I can hear the disappointment in your voice, but there is an important lesson for all of us here. Everyone makes mistakes, we can either deny them or own them and learn from them. My hat is off to Adam for being a big man in every way!

[@billlee5307]

When I watched this video more than six thousand viewers had learned or been reminded of just how quickly things can go wrong. Thanks Abom79 for being willing to share this with us. I have done exactly the same thing with a radius cutter while doing an operation that was essentially cosmetic and know how bad it makes a person feel to be that far along with a job and and have it go out of control! Great recovery!

[@BrittWayneSmith]

I am glad that you show the mistakes/real world. I can understand that it sucks. But it shows what can happen and you are a "big" enough man to show it. Kudos to you!!!!! It is still great work.

[@jackmoulton9284]

Even the Masters make mistakes. But not many Masters admit they made mistakes and then bare their sole concerning the mistakes. It shows the gift of being humble. It makes us all respect you all the more and marvel at the amazing work that you do.

[@Jazz-km8dd]

This is why I Love your video Adam... it's not the mistake that makes us it's how you render those mistakes null and void that determine who we are and you have just shown us how to fix a genuine mistake. Thank you =)

[@TreeTop1947]

Adam,the shop I worked in for 39 years had an old Milwaukee horizontal milling machine just about the same size as your K&T. We kept it set up with a vertical head and used it exclusively for milling large keyways in large diameter shafts. Unfortunately, it has the same "feature" as your K&T! I shattered a 1" end mill once by accidentally leaving the X feed lever engaged while rapid traversing the carriage "up". Over the years, several of my co-workers had similar experiences with this mill. Keep up the good work and don't be ashamed to share your "Bozos" with us. We can all learn from them! Retired machinist, Tree Top

[@geoffsmith4714]

Good recovery Adam. I believe that is the true sign of a craftsman, being able to make, recover from, and overcome mistakes. It's really cool to see that you do make mistakes and are willing to share them with us.

[@mackasack]

The beauty of working with steel over timber is you can fix almost any "F" ups. Good on you for not hiding it. Plenty of parts get "stashed" where I work!

[@FredMiller]

I know EXACTLY how you were feeling Adam. I think anyone who has done a lot of machining has had this type of thing happen to them. Interesting how it ALWAYS happens after you have a lot of time invested in a part. Thanks for sharing. Fred

[@rayfenwick]

Superb video as always, Adam. I think it is even more valuable to see what mistakes can happen and how to fix them than to see a perfect every time video. I'm an English teacher, who hasn't done any metalwork since I was at school, but I'm a huge fan of your videos and will soon have caught up with all of them. Best wishes from Moscow, Russia!

[@wittemotor100]

Those who make no mistakes, usually make nothing at all. Keep up the good work Adam!

[@dougbourdo2589]

Nice work Adam. Masters show their humble side on rare occasion. It keeps those interested because it is a teaching moment. Thought of Tom as soon as your hands were in view with the file.

[@mikemarriam]

Glad you were able to recover from your lapse of attention. I appreciate your candor. Much can be learned from mistakes, your own and other peoples, if you're willing to be humble enough to pay attention and obviously you are. I admire that and that's one reason your vids are so good.

[@Gary3247]

Whenever I make a mistake like that I always think to myself, if the part gets stolen, I'll be able to recognize it when the police find it. I always try to find something positive from every mistake. Keep up the great work, I live for your videos.

[@miker6927]

Adam, very brave to show the mistakes and the thing that we like to see is how to recover. That's the bit that is never shown so thanks you.

[@deej19142]

This just put a smile on my already happy face this morning. I get a notification that Part 10 is ready. Awesome man!, there I go again commenting before I even watch the video....see how excited I am? LOL

[@RoughriderUT]

You just went from good to great... anyone that is willing to post his mistakes and how they fix it is a great KZbin poster.. love your work and enjoy watching all that your doing.. mistakes and all.. :)

[@dougankrum3328]

...I'm always impressed with the amount of viewer appreciation tools people give/send you. Says a lot about the type of person you are!! Every video is a thumbs up... Overtime at your day job....that's always good for a little extra $$$..and.... Some killer deals from that flea market you go to.....here in Sacramento, Calif...lucky to find a beat up ball-peen hammer....

[@wnebergall]

you know Adam it's not so much that we like to watch you make mistakes it's watching how you correct the problems that means the most to me

[@CarlBright]

I feel better about your mistakes then most machine shops final products. You are awesome.

[@andrewterry8092]

I like your honesty, Adam. Thank you once again. We all make mistakes!

[@YouNeverTubeAlone]

watching your fab movies is so relaxing in my evenings. much much more entertaining than most of the broadcast on tv over here in germany! thank you very much for sharing!

[@Patriot1776]

YIKES!! Looks like that was a scary screwup moment! Excellent recovery from it though. ^^ Where I work, the only machine I run on occasion is a doozy of a machine: a roller die cutter! I've only had one incident with it in the twelve years I've been at the job, when I didn't have the top plastic plate straight enough during a pass and broke a whole corner off said plastic plate that was covering the material being cut and the cutting die. Machine's built-in shutoff that detects such disasters kicked in and prevented further disaster, like wrecking the die and/or the upper press roller's supports and I have NEVER FORGOTTEN the lesson learned from that of keeping the top plate straight and lined up BEFORE sending the die/material/plate sandwich through the rollers on a cutting pass.

[@mikemichelizzi2023]

Nice surprise to see this in the middle of the week. Sorry to see the mistake, but thanks for showing it along with the repair and letting us learn from it as well!

[@Abom79]

Thought you might like a mid week vid.

[@travisshrewsbury7169]

looks great,really like the honesty about a mistake, how to repair it and move on,great video

[@jtrent3960]

its funny I work all day in a shop, but can't wait to watch you work in yours every day. .... thanks man

[@jakepinkham5942]

my grandfather once told me it's not a mistake it you learned something from it. love the videos

[@bjre.wa.8681]

I couldn't read all the "it happens to all of us comments" , yes it does. You show true character when you work thru a problem like that. It's what keeps me coming back. And it's just not me, All the viewers recognize this. Keep on, You are gold, man, I should be more like you. bjr

[@bulletproofpepper2]

Yep I don't like the feeling of being not in control of my equipment. My equipment is made from some of the big parts you make at your work. Thanks for all the great parts and videos. Thanks for sharing.

[@tolydukhovny682]

brother adam, do not despair! accidents do happen. but we all are rooting for you. -toly

[@MrKingdavis13]

I don't think we like to see you make mistakes, I think we like to see that you are man enough to post your mistakes and we appreciate that. Just my opinion though.

[@MIGASHOORAY]

Hi Adam sure sux when something goes wrong ,happens to me a lot at the moment.thanks for the great videos.

[@federicomoulins3027]

Sometimes it happens, man. The important thing is how to fall then rise. Very good recovery of the part. We are with you. Keep up the excellent work. Regards!

[@charlesfraser6894]

Good fix Adam , another great video ! I like the idea of the dowel pins , will keep it nice and square.

[@psiwog]

Mate NYC CNC posted similar video about a stuff up and how things dont always go well.. Im glad to see you guys are mortal like the rest of us :)

[@terrylarotonda784]

I know how that makes you feel, however, things happen so fast, just glad you did not get hurt. Parts are looking good. That's just a personal reminder mark that you will be the only person to see it in the future. Great series Adam

[@PeterWMeek]

I was slot milling in 1/2" aluminum when the tool packed up and seized. Stalled the 3 hp motor. Pretty exciting. It "schooled" me on the subject of tooth loading and chip evacuation as well.

[@emildekoven4872]

Great recovery from a fleeting moment of inattention.... Were they all so skillfully executed....? No looking back! On with the construction.....!!!

[@hassenfepher]

i love the photos at the end that show the detail of the issue. knowing what i know from the video, it was valuable to look at the part up close and make the association to the result. i also think the first few minutes of the video that shows the issue, and a brief explanation of how it happened might be good enough to be a standalone video on its own. like a series of videos just called "oops". its a valuable learning experience. maybe towards the end of the oops video there can be a quick spot that says "click this link to see the "repair video" or something. then a sesries of "All Better" videos that show the solutions to the problems, with a brief spot at the beginning that says something like: "in this video i fix an issue caused by a bad table adjustment, to see the oops video first, click this link" breaking the videos up into several smaller ones might also attract the attention of the younger add/adhd crowd. gotta teach those millennials how to be useful in a workshop man. im getting sick and tired of big beards with no men attached to them.

[@zach7375]

I did the same thing at work about two years ago. Except the part I was working on was about 40,000 lbs and I was circular interpolating with a quarter round on the edge of the bore and programmed it wrong. Got my G00 mixed up with my G03 (don't ask how because I don't know). It wasn't pretty. Lucky I was machining it before heat treatment and there was .250 extra stock per surface. So it cleaned up. Thank god!

[@centurialinc]

Looks good Adam! You recovered nicely. Best Matt

[@reideichner8597]

Hi Adam, Bummer about the radius cutter but good recovery. That is what it is all about!! Take Care, Reid

[@halbritt]

I exploded with laughter when you have a shout out to Tom for teaching us all how to file.

[@peteferguson7024]

As in life, true learning comes from mistakes.... Thanks for sharing the good stuff!

[@cozzm0AU]

Adam, you make so few mistakes with your work, from what i've watched over the years. You're always so careful with double and triple checking things, a mistake is bound to happen once in a while. Thanks for sharing this, while i can hear the disappointment in your voice, i can also hear the positive side of it that its not a complete 'scrap it and start again' situation. Love the videos and the channel, thanks for sharing your craft with us all.

[@cesardariogonzalez924]

Damn... +2000 views in an hour... I remember one of your videos where your boss is saying in the background that you had had 6,000 views in a day. Hehe. Good work Adam. You have us enthralled.

[@BossmanEight]

The nice thing about metal is that a skilled tradesman - such as one Adam Booth - can always put things right.

[@mikenixon9164]

Good video Adam keep them coming!

[@brandtAU]

as always great video. Sorry to see you had a bit of a mishap to start but as much as we dont like them things happen like that and is good to see how professionals like your self work through the problem.

[@ronaldwalker6790]

Great weld repair Adam,great videos.

[@rossmiller2204]

Adam, I think Mr. Bozo lives in my little hobby shop, so I feel your pain. I've "fixed" several screw-ups with bronze braze and a thorough application of Tom's filing lessons!

[@StreuB1]

I'll post a picture when I get home tonight......got one as well. Great vid man, sorry to see the crash but it happens to all of us and if it hasn't, it will. The true mark of a craftsman is how and if he is able to recover. :-)

[@GusBird]

I still have bad memories of manual CNC tool changes years ago. All you needed was to forget a tool change (or insert the wrong tool) for a spectacular crash of part and machine. Anyone who hasn't duplicated your "rapid feed hiccup" a few times probably hasn't worked on a mill much. Nice fix.

[@DSCKy]

I can do it... and I don't even have rapid feed. :)

[@dougankrum3328]

Yeah, back in the 1970's I worked at Burgmaster....Elec/tech on big turret drills/mills (not the tiny ones you see on KZbin). Saw a few times on machine tests before shipping where guys forgot to change the Z-axis from rapid to feed....1-1/4" drill hitting the brand new table at 400 IPM...which was fast back then....400 IPM rapids...40 IPM max for feed...

[@arkansas1313]

Adapt and overcome. Great recovery by a great machinist! ....13

[@Spoif]

+Abom79 Hi Adam. As well as using the dowels, you could "loose fit" the outer-arm section to help minimise warp during welding.

[@billdlv]

Adam nice recovery. I think a good measure of skill is recovering from mistakes or working with less than ideal equipment or materials.

[@freethought2296]

Even the best make mistakes and you're one of the best!

[@chosipian]

mistakes happen to all of us, glad you were not hurt. Thanks for sharing.....

[@bcbloc02]

Man I hate when that happens! When John was down I showed him a apart I probably had 15hrs in and overshot the bore on the last hole and scrapped it. I probably would have just run the cutter on back a bit till it cleaned up since it wasn't a critical dimension but you got it fixed. :-)

[@Abom79]

Man that sucks Brian!

[@DavoShed]

We don’t like to see you screw up. We like to learn from them. Thanks for sharing them.

[@kiaorakiakaha1929]

Hi Adam, when you are ready to weld the two parts to the main body could you not put the part at 13:57 between them like that and shim it accordingly then clamp all three parts then weld the outsides, and after welding the outsides if you intend to weld the inside you could clamp the piece to the corner edge of a bench, both the main body and dell pinned part therefore should be no movement during welding, anyway just a thought, by the way if ya shim it consider shimming it at the edge rather then all the way in, makes it easier to remove shims after. PS Just to say you are an amazing heart, if ever there was a brother from another mother you'd be it :)

[@mgmoody42]

Luckily it's not a complete loss. I hate it when I mess something up, but you pick up the pieces and move on. You have a good attitude towards mistakes.

[@mikeysgarage3697]

Unfortunately these things do happen, that's why machines have big e-stop buttons. Thankfully there was no damage to you or the machine, and the part was recoverable.

[@ScottandTera]

just had my plasma cutter of four years stop working so I feel ya on just having a crappy day. glad you were able to get past it

[@cesardariogonzalez924]

Easy does it dude. This video should have been longer for all you do, but it's OK. Relax, take a deep breath, cool down, and take your time. You almost there. Pressure is mounting. +11,000 views in less than 24 hours. Keep it up.

[@grntitan1]

That makes me sick to see what happened to your part. I take no satisfaction in knowing a professional like yourself makes mistakes akin to stuff I do. Perhaps the frequency in which amateur/hobby machinists make these errors over professionals is the big difference. It just revolves back to the fact that we all need to be 100% aware when working with these machines. The beauty is, we get to learn a lesson from you, and that is it is not the end of the world when these things happen. Good recovery and thanks for sharing this and not hiding it like it didn't happen. It adds to the reality aspect of machining. Thanks Adam. Matt

[@tomscorner3838]

It's what I call, " Shit happens" But you fixed it! That's the main point. Thumbs up buddy!

[@thandles_workshop]

Man😥 glad that the mill and the cutter is ok👍 i would have left that just like it is as a remainder to check your feed man..Lol Great work Adam👍

[@musicbro8225]

You're already amped from double checking your steps, every movement considered and reconsidered so when something so potentially catastrophic happens your system gets flooded with adrenaline. Good that your autopilot had the experience to go for the best solution, but the after effects of all that adrenaline is kinda like shock and it makes you feel a little sick... Nice save, good outcome!

[@RGSneaker]

Hi Adam, Sorry you had a bad morning, but way to get back in the saddle :-) I still HAVE to see everything you post. I'm just a bad Abom addict :-)

[@geneelliott3230]

Glad you saved the part and no damage to machine or you.

[@MrStacygordon]

Hi Adam: Can you use a old autodarking lens from a welding helmet,for your camera.While you weld

[@TSKseattle]

After all, that's what KEITH does

[@howder1951]

Looking good Adam, sorry for the boo-boo, but those things do happen. Your machinist skills are a pleasure to watch, this series i.e. very enjoyable.

[@Icemann40000]

Best part about Metal ,in my opinion, you can mess up but still repair your damage. Maybe some sandpaper can cover your little Spot. I like your videos even if i do the same work *thumps up*

[@poppopscarvinshop]

I had a Bad Programming Crash that messed up a 24" x 36" vacuum table, the machine spindle, and tool holder. About $10,000 and 4 weeks down time. My Boss said, "If you never make mistakes, you ain't working hard enough". He never mentioned it again!

[@Thefreakyfreek]

The shame is enoug punishment I feld the same A college of mine crashed a new big machine the er colet nut split and one part flew of and shattered the first layer of the huge window on the machine he was so mad boss had to calm him down

[@grahamstretch6863]

James White A guy in the CNC shop where I worked (as a toolmaker, no I’m not the guy) crashed a 3 day old CNC lathe the first time he used it, his mistake? A ‘+’ not a ‘-‘ 😳😳 He moved the headstock, broke the tailstock, tool and toolholder, again several weeks downtime, much expenditure, lots of ribbing from colleagues and most of all the shame of it. Plus the installation team that he was bragging to came to fix it! 🤣😂🤣😂

[@63256325N]

Nice fix. Am I correct in saying that you're going to paint the whole thing when complete? If so I don't thing you'll ever see that fix.

[@jamesshelley8339]

Dude, stop beating yourself up. Your videos are superb. Just don't forget Mr Bozo!👍keep up the good work from a fan in the UK. Regards J

[@commadore129]

Hey Adam I can't watch you weld lol. It says "DANGER DO NOT WATCH THE WELDER" lol. Don't worry about that gouge, It's Abom certified and it's something to tell the grand kids about. At least that's what they used to tell me at work lol. Great job man!

[@KPearce57]

Ouch damn-it that hurt, good recovery!

[@scowell]

Pecker tracks! Good recovery, Adam.

[@ReignOterror]

Adam was having one of those Keith Fenner "not today" days... we all have them.

[@Abom79]

I keep thinking about the lady they interviewed about the apartment fire!

[@togusa75]

I wish you'll get better from that sickness man.It's no fun working while feeling bad.

[@dtiydr]

10:10 I never thought that these stable cast machines would be able to move so it could be seen!

[@TechNebulous]

Hey Adam.. Just a thought ... to keep the part not moving when welding why not use the part that John machined as a spacer and to keep the part from pulling in or out?.....

[@JostheRebel]

My toughts where about the same. But just use a scrap piece with the correct size as a spacer clambed between there to stop it from worping...

[@RambozoClown]

Plus a thin shim for clearance.

[@JostheRebel]

Yep just to make sure

[@WAVETUBE84]

Cool idea! That would work perfectly.

[@Jazz-km8dd]

HAHA i was thinking same think if not use the part John made you could even use a small piece thats that height or a thou or 2 higher for flex

[@Ryzomadman]

Bloody Gremlins and Murphys law when they get together all hell breaks loose, main thing Master of the KNT you recovered and it adds character.

[@macro820]

I like this music Adam thanks for the video. We all make mistakes, I think you probably make a lot less than most of us! At least it isn't critical, just cosmetic

[@yankeemachineworks6115]

The part got a little buggered up...your pride got a little buggered up...and you are madder than a hornet on a 100 degree day after its nest got kicked. No harm to the machine or cutter. An adequate repair to recover the part to what it needs to be. We have all been there and know how it all feels...Take a few deep breaths now & continue on with a good job well done :)

[@BoffinGrusky]

Hey Man, as long as no meat was harmed in the making of the part, you're Cadillacin'.

[@offramp100]

If you are going to start the day with a screw up better machining than sky diving ;)

[@Barefoot3us]

Adam, Only one comment. We are all human and mistakes are a natural and do occur. You fixed it so it's all good.

[@davidmotoman4956]

Bugger :( But Hey you werent hurt is the main thing, a little Repair and bobs ya uncle. Must have been frustrating after all the hard work you had put in Adom. But came up good in the end. This has been a great Project to Watch mate. Dave from Australia

[@johngermain3535]

ouch always a bummer when those occur. good save.

[@joseantoniosarachaga8700]

Hola Abom: quiero felicitarte pues la pieza quedó bien, son accidentes que no puede uno evitar pues nadie está exento te mando un saludo y un apretón de mano desde la CDMX

[@davidphillips6571]

Is there a reason that you did not machine all the rust off off this part in the beginning?

[@dlstanf2]

No worries Adam, mistakes happen. I had a bad one myself the other day. Just move ahead.
