Truck Hitch Crane Build Ep. 3

[@honeycuttracing]

Talking purely for us, this is the Abom we've came to enjoy, turning, machining and nothing else, that's what drew us to his channel, and encouraged us to build our own milling machine from scratch and working on a lathe from scratch as well!! We see he's putting everything into these parts and we try to do the same, please keep up this kind of content because you never know who you'll inspire to keep the art of the machinist's going!!!!

[@c3h50n023]

This is engineering. I believe this crane will probably out live the truck it's going to be mounted on. Great job.

[@danburch9989]

Your videos bring "How It's Made" to a new level of understanding. The TV series ricocheted off the high points and just gave a general idea as to how things are made without exposing trade secrets.

[@benpeterson9835]

“There’s no need to do it, but let’s try it anyway” 😆 Words of a true craftsman

[@onemaninaboat]

Love this style of video where you explain your thought process. It like being there with you in the shop and being taught.

[@cptbimes1]

Now this is like an old school Abom video. I hope everyone goes back and looks at the quality of content Adam is putting out now versus 7+ years ago when he started. I enjoy seeing how the videos transformed over the years.

[@JamieSpencer-q9n]

Love the way you tell and explain the brand and size of inserts you always use, keep up the good work, Big Fan

[@GHOSTINPLAINSIGHT]

I really appreciate the ending Adam. After all these years you still honor you father and grandfather by presenting them in your videos. Well done!

[@anomamos9095]

Tips for protecting the camera. You can use mirrors to get closer to things that can break a camera, cheap vanity mirrors for car sun visors work well as they’re plastic usually. For splashing you can set a fan to blow splashes away from the camera, a tube focusing the air flow down and across the view field will redirect almost all splashes.

[@gerritgeldenhuys2763]

I find your videos absolutely hypnotic. I don't do any machining, only welding but I can watch this for hours and never miss an episode.

[@Xyz-ij6rh]

Your videos give me the feeling of being in a Shop with a cool and very experienced Guy whos teaching you some stuff I love it !

[@vijayantgovender2045]

Thank you Adam I appreciate you sharing your wonderful videos I am watching from South Africa

[@dockerjade]

I really appreciate the time you take to go into detail about the tools that you use. I find it very interesting. Just wanted to say thank you!

[@Aceoffroad4x4]

WOW. That band saw leaves a special kind of finish on your parts. That's unreal. Never seen anything like it.

[@MatthewHarrisStudio]

Great content as always. As a blacksmith I have such an appreciation for how a real machinist works. I have a lathe and a mill in the shop but that doesn’t make me a machinist 😂😂👍🏼

[@LobbySeatWarmer]

"This week on How it's Made ... Mirrors! Historically mirrors have been made by covering glass with a thin metallic film. Adam, however, makes it look ridiculously easy to form mirrors from solid steel alloys with his glorified electric potato peeler!"

[@tomk2165]

There's nothing like watching Adam make a crane hitch to nuclear missile tolerances.

[@danielson9579]

Love the way that you made using two indicators so simple 🙂👍

[@jimjanke3415]

Thanks for the detail, your pace and explanations are spot on!

[@GAS1950]

Your machining videos are the best on KZbin you explain a lot of exactly what you are doing and the tooling you are using I hope you have a job shop in your new building and a lot more vids

[@crabmansteve6844]

Damn, that insert is fantastic. And hell it left a nice surface finish for a roughing insert.

[@2dividedby3equals666]

The more I see you using that Hydemech, the more I want one! What and amazing machine, when you splited that flange I was somewhat skeptical of how well it would turn out. But knowing you I knew it would do it but it still blew my mind!! Great work as always, thanks for sharing and take care!!

[@olddawgdreaming5715]

Looking good Adam, gonna be an awesome lift when you’re done. Looking forward to your next video of the series. Fred. 🙏🏻🙏🏻👍🏻👍🏻👏🏻👏🏻✋🏻✋🏻

[@ThomasLips]

That Monarch lathe is a beast! I inherited my Dad's South Bend engine lathe that was made in 1929. He loved that machine and so do I! But I wouldn't mind pulling a chip like that 👍👍👍

[@shanerorko8076]

Seeing the old Monarch shudder on the weld prep cuts makes you appreciate how big CCE's lathes are.

[@KPSchleyer]

I think he was on the smaller Victor lathe when doing that cut

[@matthewperlman3356]

I'm impressed with haw little the LNMX insert tool was loading down the lathe considering the depth of cut and RPM. After seeing this I may look for one like the smaller version you showed.

[@fasteddie4107]

Monarch is my favorite, too. Wish I had one. Thanks for another enjoyable video. @ 25:30 it’s for parts like this that I keep a small box of cut leather pieces on hand as an old gunsmith’s trick to prevent leaving vise jaw marks onto a nice metal finish.

[@12...]

I love watching the chips turn from yellow to blue as they land

[@Tf9500]

That never gets old, thanks for the great turning videos!

[@paullee4442]

Two indicators? Ha ha ha. 😂 That’s getting pretty fancy, I mean fussy. Gotta say I love seeing heavy chips turning blue in the pan! Especially when you got speeds and feeds dialed like you do! Thanks Adam!

[@YCM30cnc]

Love your vids Adam, whether shop stuff, BBQ stuff or travel stuff, always informative and entertaining. This vid, though not explicit, showed me what I’ve been doing wrong when using telescoping gages. I saw that you adjust the micrometer as you sweep the gage,…… I always tried to touch the gage like I would measuring a solid part, being careful to try not to move the telescoping gage, but never quite got the hang of it. Now, just as the ‘Always Check Your Threads’ voice goes through my head every time I cuts threads, a mental image of you using a telescoping gage will be with me every time I use one in the future.

[@frankward709]

That Saw made a beautiful cut A light facing If that's all you would have needed.

[@billwilson7496]

I never tire of watching your videos! This project is one I've been thinking about for some time. My health has become such that I cannot pick up anything heavy anymore and your crane may be an answer to one of my biggest needs. I'm looking forward to the next video. Thanks for the effort you put into all your work and all the information you impart!

[@richardw.foxhall3392]

Glad to see you Adam, turning out chips again. And applying your skills to your project, here's hoping you have thought of all of the variables that needed. Looks promising.

[@georgetarabini6552]

The heavy cuts are our favorite too, we miss the heavy cuts of yesteryear

[@heinstrydom864]

Thank you Adam brilliant work with the explaining. Real deal nothing artificial.

[@Joserocha-wm9de]

6 inch a lil less or a lil more it's not gonna hurt the job , he ends up with 6 dead nuts 😂😂 that's professionalism and passion for your job ... A real machining master 👌👌

[@imbok]

Nothing is quite as satisfying as seeing the chips fly!

[@TBizzell68]

Great video! Thanks for taking time to explain those inserts, I found that very interesting and learned something.

[@richardforrest5781]

I've watched all your videos! You seem to be teaching more in depth. Thank-you

[@vicbottrill4162]

Love your videos, Adam !, You do a great job and I appreciate the way you explain everything

[@grotevin]

That bandsaw leaves such a nice finish already. Nothing like the ones i have seen in real life

[@christopherdeathe5505]

I was like "Damn!! video is over already "? Lol . Great work . Can watch these all day.

[@Screws619]

I know it. Of all the you tubers I watch I never fast forward Adam’s videos and they go by so fast!

[@jeremymatthies726]

Nothing like having relaxing while having breakfast, lunch or even supper and watching Adam do his stuff. Beats watching the news LOL. Keep up the awesome content. I know I appreciate what you put out.

[@federiconiedenthal4180]

Love the monarch lathe!!!!! Nice see it in action!!💪💪💪

[@johnbrevard5966]

it all started with Mr pete and then I saw you, and then you guys met up a few back... WOW... I am so proud of you, You are the example of Try Try Try and Success is easy!.. Even your lighting, camera work etc. is amazing, Nevermind the Lifelong experience of Machining Perfection.. BRAVO!!... BRAVO!!!!!

[@patrickgrandy6665]

Bro I could sit in yr shop and watch you work all day

[@josephcitizen4195]

Thanks for showing the two indicator method.

[@guye7763]

Having watched your video the other day stopped me chucking out my headphones. I only have one channel in the audio. Thank goodness you did the audion vid! Thanks

[@Tigtheblacksmith]

I’ve been planning to build a hitch crane for my truck for a long time now. But I could never finalise a design, I’m really enjoying seeing this come together and I fully intend to copy it for my own build. Thanks for all the effort you put in to all your uploads, they’re truly inspiring

[@burnieoak8105]

Oh man.... I've been watching your videos since more than 5 years now and loved em all!!! You*re TIER1 hero and legend ! RESPECT and kindest regards from Austria.. BO

[@charliebaileyandloganberry7557]

You can hear that insert begging for more speed. I love those LMNX inserts. On CNCs I used to take .33 per side at .027 feed, at 650 sfm all day long in anything under 40 Rc. Nice video buddy.

[@russtuff]

These build series type videos are my favorite. Good stuff.

[@MachiningandMicrowaves]

I've learned so much about chip control and speeds/feeds from watching your videos. Most of my workpieces are about the size of one of your chips, but on some recent jobs I've been able to run big DOC and make some lovely Cs and 6s. I want a magic bandsaw now!

[@ydonl]

Thanks for talking a little more lately; I enjoyed that! Especially the chat in Ep 2.during the drilling, kinda explaining what you're about. I distinctly recall you saying in your early videos "I'm just showing you how I do it -- I know people do it different ways." It must have been easier in those days in some ways, with the smaller subscriber group! If you get 1% of a thousand people with a crusty attitude, that's not too bad -- ten people. Meh. But if you get 1% of half a million... that's 5,000 people! But maybe still ignorable. You sure wouldn't want to let them steer the ship!😁

[@andrewdickerson1607]

Man you are a damn good machinist! I can and do watch your vids for hours so relaxing!!

[@ryanhagler9410]

That surface finish 🤤

[@metalbob3335]

The monarch and Abom is like Stockton and Malone, good episode.

[@wildefab]

Thanks for the awesome video. Def need for my back .... Cant wait for the next one!

[@BodgeEngineering]

Such beautiful work.

[@jeffreypeters8446]

You need to get together with Destin from Smarter Every Day to do an in-depth dive into how lathes and mills actually cut and evacuate chips. It would be extremely interesting to see these operations in super slow-motion.

[@charlescompton4495]

Great video; I did think I heard the least bit of noise though. Hard to tell with the screaming cut. Looking forward to the end result but ready for the next episode, Greg

[@r3vo830]

Awesome job. Can't wait to see it all come together!

[@Just1GuyMetalworks]

Love watching those big chips just spill off like that. Satisfaction guaranteed 👍😁👍.

[@a.bakker64]

I was in a CNC shop today and I always like the smell of the coolant fluid.

[@metalgeria]

You gave us a nice and full lesson about turning, thank you very much

[@st3althyone]

It’s a joy watching you work Adam!

[@alexskis3296]

interesting to see the tailstock side indicator moving as you tighten the chuck.

[@andrewkoetz3933]

Adam; I think the bulk of the viewers like your Monarch because it's "Old American Iron"; I am in the process of cleaning up and restoring/rebuilding a 42" (small compared to what you use) Atlas Lathe; the ways (full length) with head stock & tail stock removed is only 42 inches and I will be using it for hobby machining with my mini mill that I have.

[@RobertPerrigoOkiechopper]

I've learned so much from you over the years Adam, Now I just wish I had a small lathe I could operate from my chair to do small jobs and special projects, but the pickings on lathes around OKC are thin to none. I have been wanting to get one with a 2' x 6' or 4'foot print.......Bob. I feel a Grizzly G0602 10" x 22" Benchtop Metal Lathe or one about the same size, give or take would be ideal for me to get my ass off the sofa and back out to my shop. I don't work on mowers any longer and haven't been in my shop for a little over a year now.

[@shanek6582]

You drive to cocke county Tennessee and I’ll sell you my atlas 10” lathe very reasonable.

[@RobertPerrigoOkiechopper]

@@shanek6582 I'm totally disabled and wheelchair dependent & can no longer drive due to multiple sclerosis and live alone. I wish I could.

[@shanek6582]

@@RobertPerrigoOkiechopper sorry bout all that, sounds like you could use a good lathe though, mines just been sitting for years.

[@ronnydowdy7432]

You are making it for some heavy lifting. Enjoyed the show

[@mathankumar6473]

Great job Adam, the type of content I subscribed for you

[@Aceoffroad4x4]

BEAUTIFUL CHIPS. Loving that blue!

[@evilbrat5376]

Adam, you have reminded me of how much I Did Not Know when I filled the position of Welder/Machinist with the Coast Guard. This was back in 1978. Wish you were around then to instruct as you do now with your videos. Have a safe day.

[@k4x4map46]

pretty slick with two indicators!! time for a new four-jaw competition! very nice tool crib you have on Amazon. Was looking for that digital caliper; the 'ol HF is good until you need better than good, short of a micrometer...

[@pilgrimm23]

My Puny Grizzly G0602 would take AT LEAST 10 or more passes to cut that. You have such cool tools.

[@lloydbaker7099]

As always enjoy the content

[@RGSABloke]

As you mentioned on a previous video, no right hand channel on this one, then when you showed the turning tool the right channel came in. Fortunately, I have 2 ears🤔😳🤨🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂👍😎 PS Awesome closeup shots Adam

[@normsweet1710]

I reckon that crane will last as long as it needs to. Good job 😉👍

[@alexanderkramer6047]

Would be cool to see some large old school chips made with a hss tool in the monarch, like the ones you made in the shaper.

[@jeremyeaker7362]

I enjoy a good short video but only because I have learned why you do this or that when using machining tools from your videos that are "long" videos. I would rather learn and understand what I am watching verse guessing why a short video skips from a to z with 30sec of the in between steps. Keep the awesome videos coming!

[@HoppersLab]

Can you do a quick video of repairing the beat up tool?

[@ChainsGoldMask]

You open with this is everyone’s favorite. Literally why I clicked on this was for the monarch 😆. No offense. I don’t watch every video. Still, I love your stuff and like and share 🍻🤘

[@bigt4636]

If your looking for an insert that breaks a chip at small cuts try a iscar 804 TNMG, the chip breaker will do it.

[@oleanderson3693]

Adam, could you please explain in your next lathe video how you determine if you will cut dry or with a coolant? And do you have a barrel for wet and dry cuttings? Do you take them to a scrap dealer?

[@ponkkaa]

You might want to look into installing a Clearview spinning window to keep your camera lens free of glop. The type that they use on ships in place of a windshield wiper. Just a thought. Keep up the excellent work sir!

[@PhilDavisFilms]

I saw your video about the problems with the gopro hero 9 and like this segment, audio only in the left ear. In your video editor you can often convert an audio clip from 'stereo' to 'mono' this will just put the audio in both ears equally, and should allow you to not have only one ear audible. Great content as usual!

[@raymondwildes6421]

Love watching your show

[@jaredstreator3847]

Adam, I see so many young machinists use telescoping gauge wrong, move them back and forth. You should hit on that if you have not already. "One and done". Tell me who coined that quote and your my hero forever. Thanks for the video, great work brother.

[@ydonl]

It's there in the archives! Along with a lot of other quietly great stuff.

[@dinguslopper]

Video is called "Shop Talk 10: Telescope Gages & How They're Used" from 2016

[@martineastburn3679]

The old one is a good hunk of steel for a custom holder or other use. I suspect it is tough metal.

[@keithjurena9319]

Blue chips with water based flood lube? That is some work.

[@staciedziedzic4480]

Hi it's Stacie! I just noticed something! It seems when you use coolant or mist that the chips fly all over the place and besides that they are wet and hot! What a sight to see that's for sure! Great job Adam!
