Machine shop tour, small town machine shop

[@paddrivers]

The sound went funky!

[@smalltownmachineshop6860]

Yes I apologize for that

[@joesteffens613]

Man O man! Looks fantastic! I remember what it looked like when you started organizing. Kinda looked like a bomb went off in your shop. That was a lot of work Adam. I’m happy for you. You can go to town on jobs now. Everything is accessible and ready to be used. No more cleaning off the machine to use it. Your shop looks like a firm pair of ( . Y . ) now. I bet you feel pretty proud about now, and you should. Thanks.

[@smalltownmachineshop6860]

Thank you, it was indeed a lot of work, I hope to keep it somewhat clean

[@hswrailway]

The shop is looking great. All the hard work you have been doing to organize it is paying off. Well done

[@smalltownmachineshop6860]

Now the goal is to keep it clean

[@TheKnacklersWorkshop]

Hello Adam, Good tour. enjoyable viewing, thank you. Take care. Paul,,

[@smalltownmachineshop6860]

And thank you for taking the time to watch it

[@kimber1958]

Thank you for the shop door Adam I think I was impacted the most by your storage capacity wall of storage but you have some very nice equipment as well and appreciate you taking the time to share that with us

[@smalltownmachineshop6860]

All the storage stuff is super handy to have on hand for a job shop like mine

[@speedwrench1909]

Hey Adam, That’s a awesome shop you got. Very very cool!

[@smalltownmachineshop6860]

Thank you very much, I like your shop to

[@Rustinox]

Very interesting tour. Nice to see all these beautiful toys to play with.

[@smalltownmachineshop6860]

Yes it’s nice to be able to get to everything

[@johncanter6996]

Cyclops grinders! Never see anyone talk about these. I have a little red Wizard mounted to my bench. Super weak but they’re useful for cleaning up small parts and fine work.

[@bryanbridges2519]

Shop is looking great Adam. Keep up the good work and videos. Tornado wrecked everything for me in January, but we have about finished rebuilding our house so the shop is next. Shop actually done better than the house and won’t take long to fix. Then maybe I’ll do an updated tour of mine.

[@smalltownmachineshop6860]

Very sorry to hear that, hopefully no one was hurt

[@eyuptony]

Wow you've some gear in there Adam. Great to see that you love the old classic machines. Enjoyed the tour. Tony

[@smalltownmachineshop6860]

I love old machines, thanks for watching

[@metalworksmachineshop]

there is a floor in your shop.. did you drop your mic half way into the video.. cant hear a thing.

[@smalltownmachineshop6860]

I apologize for that, not sure what happened

[@gorak9000]

Probably covered it with his finger if he's shooting it on a phone - they put the mics in the spot right were your fingers go when holding the phone horizontally. Real swift design

[@kentuckytrapper780]

Looks great compared to mine, great video Adam, keep'um coming..

[@smalltownmachineshop6860]

Will do

[@sallybrokaw6124]

Now I think you can get a hunk of iron to the back of the shop lol. Much more room to get around the machinery. I still think you would benefit from putting the compressor out back and pipe air to the front. Less noise and free up space for the bandsaw.AL B.

[@smalltownmachineshop6860]

It’s going to end up out back, that’s one of the last few things on the list

[@sallybrokaw6124]

@@smalltownmachineshop6860 Cool Adam!

[@danneumann3274]

I have a Reed Prentice lathe like Yours. I like the very low gears for large tool steel parts

[@arnoldromppai5395]

man id love to have thaat small lath. been a heavy equipment welder fabricator all my life, always wanted to self teach my self lath work, always have to send small pins an bushing work out, in high school every after noon was shop classes, but that is one shop class they never had, i have self thought my self many things.. for years i been trying to find an old small lath

[@sailawaybob]

awesome workshop those lathes are so cool. i suspect you own all the clamps and hacksawss in your area lol. seriously what guy doesn't love tools.

[@smalltownmachineshop6860]

I know, I just love hacksaws and always have

[@hiddenworldforge374]

Your shop's looking amazing! And thank you again for moving the reed for me; I've aready started putting it back together, it's gonna be an absolute workhorse in my shop

[@smalltownmachineshop6860]

Your very welcome, I hated to see it go but I needed the space very badly

[@oxtoolco]

Sweet hacksaw collection! I would love to hear the story behind those. Cheers, Tom

[@smalltownmachineshop6860]

I’ll do a video on them soon, thank you for watching, your one of my favorite creators on here

[@josemedina4814]

Good job Adam!!

[@smalltownmachineshop6860]

Thank you very much

[@hilltopmachineworks2131]

Looking way better now. Of course now that everything is put away you won't be able to find what you need. LOL!

[@smalltownmachineshop6860]

That has already begun lol

[@fatkorn]

Very cool, you definitely have a lots of hacksaws. I inherited most of my tools from my grandpa an if I need something I [borrow] from mer da. I jus sorta turn wrenches an skin knuckles.

[@smalltownmachineshop6860]

I wish I had my grandpas tools but they sadly went to a cousin of mine who never works on anything

[@MurlWatne-io2bo]

🎉Have you got a granite inspection plate?

[@smalltownmachineshop6860]

@@MurlWatne-io2bo no, I do mostly repair machining so making parts fit other parts so never have needed one

[@michaelhallas6450]

That little red press you said you do broaching , what make is that ?

[@smalltownmachineshop6860]

There are no tags on it at all, I used to be available at tractor supply stores and I believe harbor freight but it’s been awhile since I have seen them there

[@elchuco00]

Wow!! Looking good man!!

[@smalltownmachineshop6860]

Thank you very much

[@bernardvonderheide1268]

Looks great. Sound went south tho .

[@smalltownmachineshop6860]

Yeah I’m not sure how that happened, thanks for watching

[@yadda_tools]

Impressive! I wish I lived nearby, I would take the small lathe off your hands.

[@smalltownmachineshop6860]

Yeah I need to find it a good home

[@paulbfields8284]

I have the same lathe.. it’s Clausing Colchester 15x50 it looks like to me.

[@smalltownmachineshop6860]

Yup, it was sold under a few names but there all exactly the same

[@TBJK07Jeep]

I was going to say the same thing. We have the damn near exact Clausing Colchester.

[@raykerr6046]

Buddy how do you operate in that disorganized mess. I was a Machinist /Millwright for 35 years and that disorganized shop would drive me crazy.

[@smalltownmachineshop6860]

I make do, iv picked up larger machines since then now it’s really crammed, but I know where everything is and I work two full time jobs so doesn’t leave much time for organizing, thankfully my kids are getting older and starting to help me out there so cleaning and such is where they will start

[@raykerr6046]

@@smalltownmachineshop6860 I thought you might be working it daily. Nice stuff to have for a hobby or part time work. 👍🏻 I did my apprenticeship in a messy shop and when I left I said I would never work like that again. You must be in Ontario with the Lawson organizing bins.

[@raykerr6046]

@@smalltownmachineshop6860 I once mounted a bench grinder we used for sharpening tool bits on the ram of the shaper and turned it into a surface grinder. The shaper has lost it shine to the new tooling. It was a great machine for its time.

[@michaelmcallister3429]

Nice bit of shop equipment but looks mostly like a disorganized mess with needed work and cleaning on the machines. Shakey video with a volume drop in the middle of it. There is a lot of potential here, will look forward to your progress.

[@smalltownmachineshop6860]

Yeah it’s sucks the Audio acted up, I am super busy with two full time jobs so it will always be a little messy but my customers love my shop. Thank you for checking it out

[@BuiltOverBot]

that is a nice setup

[@smalltownmachineshop6860]

Thanks for checking it out

[@matersworkshop6123]

A nice tour of your shop. I have a museum of old machine tools that is looking for donations

[@craigtate5930]

Fantastic setup

[@smalltownmachineshop6860]

Thank you, I like it to

[@chriskwakernaat2328]

half way through the video the sound volume takes a nosedive , what happend?

[@smalltownmachineshop6860]

Yeah the wired in mic I was using unfortunately went out, I’m going to try and do a voice over it to fix it but I haven’t had time to yet

[@samwittstruck.6685]

Hello Adam :)

[@smalltownmachineshop6860]

Hi

[@derekgilbert2884]

After first sounds good in half video it sound of talking about machine shop , video looks good and need work on sound hear talk ok good luck

[@bigbob1699]

You need three maids and a small heard of apprentices to clean and organize.

[@smalltownmachineshop6860]

I make do, with the time I have I do the best I can, I work 2 full time jobs and when I have my kids I drop everything for them so I can either clean or crank out parts so I do what I can

[@bigbob1699]

@@smalltownmachineshop6860 No machine shop needs to be spotless, make it look as safe as you can, but leave just enough scrap to prove that you know what you are doing.

[@SoBoring136]

Tidy up and respect your gear mate if I was a customer and saw your work shop I wouldn’t do business with you

[@smalltownmachineshop6860]

I keep it as clean as I can with how busy I am and most my customers love my cluttered little shop and the machines might be dirty but the parts that cut are meticulously maintained

[@carlkulyk366]

Audio is faulty

[@smalltownmachineshop6860]

Yes I know unfortunately but I’m doing an updated one here in a few weeks

Indeed, the finest shop snack

[@techt111]

I've owned factories with 100+ people working on them, and this place is more cluttered and sloppy than anything I've seen, I would fire my foreman on the spot for something like this, No pride of ownership dude.

[@smalltownmachineshop6860]

I work two full time jobs and when I have my kids I drop everything for them, with the time I have I can clean or crank out jobs so I do that, my customers love my shop and although dirty, the machines are very well taken care of where it counts, thanks for watching

[@agentcovert]

Not sure what this video is or what the intent was..as is its just an advertisement to any customers to stay far away.. if every machine is broken and or half taken apart and in a complete disaster for a work area..How can anyone expect this place to fix or repair anything when they can't finish a single project or even fix their own equipment..I surely wouldn't advertise such a place to the general public..business sabotage at its finest..lol

[@smalltownmachineshop6860]

Thanks for watching, I stay very very busy and I rotate through machines a lot as I buy them and fix them so there are always machines apart and being worked on in my shop, everyone works there own way

[@agentcovert]

@@smalltownmachineshop6860 perhaps but wouldn't a shop tour be more beneficial to the business to show organized, clean work areas with working machines and perhaps a repair area for taken apart machines..as a customer I look into any business before doing business with them..your showing alot of unflattering content for customers..even a few clean up days on the weekend before a shop tour would show your shop in a positive light..just an outsider opinion..Trust me when I say I would look up your business before ever going there and if that video of the shop tour was seen I would have found another place to do business at..

[@smalltownmachineshop6860]

@@agentcovert I completely understand where your coming from, all my work is from word of mouth from the farmers and irrigation districts I do work for so there just looking to have there stuff fixed, if I advertised and did more work for walk in customers I would certainly keep it a little more tidy but I stay busy enough from my others to go that route yet, but again, I do see your point
