Unloading the Smith & Mills Shaper Part 2 

Russian people are Awesome! It is the Governments that need work. I hope you are well. From the USA. I'll bet that Lathe was HUGE!

I laughed more than I expected reading this comment.

Adam has found the perfect lady to spend the rest of his life with, Abby seems to enjoy getting involved in Adams passion.

Richard Scott LOL

Most of our major industrial production was in that area because it was so far from the coastline but still had reasonable access to water shipping via the lakes and the Ohio river. It was a great combination for making it a difficult target for WW2/cold war airstrikes while still being relatively easy to move material around between different factories and out to the final delivery sites.

@@PoignantPirate ... While distance from coast may be a nice thing to have, it was more an unintended bonus. The reason was raw materials and the fuel to turn them into useful metals and the ease of transportation. Coal and iron ore are nearby, and the lakes and river mean you can move heavy loads cheaply. Which is why most of the steel mills and metal foundries were right there as well. Add a couple centuries where the cost to transport the castings, plates, etc were very prohibitive kept everything close.

We used to make everything here in Ohio

There were a couple of moments of holding my breath.

Up the irons! (or roll the irons I suppose) \m/

I guess im randomly asking but does any of you know a way to log back into an Instagram account?? I stupidly forgot my login password. I love any assistance you can offer me!

@Marley Gus Instablaster ;)

@Chance Parker i really appreciate your reply. I got to the site thru google and I'm in the hacking process now. Seems to take quite some time so I will get back to you later when my account password hopefully is recovered.

I was a little worried I didn’t have quite enough mass to get it moving 😰

Sounds good to me!!!

Just don't forget to spay and neuter. Before you know it you'll have eight small machines running around using up all the oil.

Cop 1: Looks like Adam is out filming in the yard. Cop 2: Turn the siren or nobody will believe it's him.

445supermag they probably are subscribers, and this is their way of being in every video.

it'll definitely work better than new when home boy is done with it

add a dolly under the shaper for extra effect

Seeing that size of a machine run on 220 volts is really mesmerizing... We use 220v for anything from phone chargers to vacuum cleaners and washing machines. 400v 3-phase for Big Boys Toys, heh.

I almost made a wisecrack to one that asked why he got another shaper ... "So he can produce synchronized shaper videos" ... Hmmm, what music would fit best to a pair of shapers ... ?

The NWO handed it to China. Not we. There was never a we, or a USA. That was only on television and in the gov't controlled mind control institutions called schools. Government = Mind Control. Mente = Mind. Govern = To Control. To Control the Mind = Government.

Lol did 'Q' tell you that? 😂😂

I feel old knowing that song!

Remigiusz Marcinkiewicz just how much does this machine weigh smart guy?

Did you just tell him to use a rope instead of that big ass chain? RU-vid comment section is out of control. Does it look like its his first rodeo

@@Highstranger951 6500lbs, or just shy of 3t. At the end of the downwards slide it was traveling at 0.7.-0.9 m/s (measured by playing frame-by-frame, at 60fps it's quite easy) and got decelerated by the chains within 0.15-0.20s. This exerted a force of approximately 52000N, or slightly over 230000lbf. This was *definitely* in excess of WLL of those chains and almost certainly above 2x WLL, at which point even most brand new certified hoisting chains are fully expected to just snap with zero advance warning. There you go, "smart guy". Adam himself wasn't in danger here because he kept his distance, but the shaper could have broken free and most likely fallen off the side of the ramp.

​@@truckguy6666 There are no chains in this video that I'd call "big ass", not by a long shot. The one used for pulling, on the chain hoist side, was perfectly good for the job, but absolutely not "big ass" in my opinion. I've had my share of exciting rodeos as well, you see. I told Adam to use a sling or a rope instead of the two quite puny chains that held the rear of the shaper onto the trailer. The ones that stop the shaper at 9:35 and bounce it back up a bit. They barely held, according to some back-of-the-envelope calculations I made in another reply in this thread. Check them out. The reason for my recommendation is that chains subject to excessive shock loads (such as being rapidly tightened by a heavy moving object) can snap *extremely* violently, sending pieces of broken links at high speeds in random directions. People get killed by those. Slings and ropes, on the other hand, have a larger capacity to stretch, fail gradually, provide visible warning signs when damaged and failing, and don't throw shrapnel. Thus, a sling is safer for holding back a load that could get going on its own.

Remigiusz Marcinkiewicz it’s approximately 6200 Lbs according to the spec sheet and a ton is 2000 lbs so it’s over 3 tons. Your math is bullshit because you didn’t factor in mass. There is no possible way unless the whole machine was lifted and dropped letting the chain bear the load. Did you factor in friction? If so, explain how because I doubt you were there. Cure your ignorance.

Thanks that’s what I was looking for, funny my guess was 6000 lbs. Amazing what a guy can do with mechanical advantage.

They are jealous that he got the machine. ;-)

good exercise!

tactless!

@@truckguy6666 Agreed! And Adam doesn't know me from, well- Adam. G.
