Shaping a Hydraulic Rod Clevis Part 1 

Little Bacchus Are you familiar with the novel, Trustee From The Toolroom by Neville Shute ? For that matter,his autobiography, Slide Rule is almost as good. If you like Adam's videos,I betcha you will like those two. Cheers.

Haha yep

Yep, classic old saying. I’m proving them all wrong though! 😀

That peeling sound followed by plinks and pings, yeah its great.

Having your own shop which you can relax and enjoy, and produce parts and or content at your pace is what this is all about. 👍🏻

Thanks Kenneth. Glad to hear you enjoyed that. It’s fun the work I get into. 👍🏻

What would be a new-school way of doing it?

The Triggerati I just said it so little boys like you would ask questions.....guess what it worked. CNC mill would have made quick work of it dont you think

Sure. I just didn't know if you were trolling. Frankly I'll never be able to afford a CNC, so I watch classic machining vids.

Cnc’s have their place today, but old school is cool, just like old hot rods. 😎

Abom79 well said sir.

Generic thing in 3-world country. On russian factories we all doing this. On indian also. And a lot of chinese machinist also grinding his own tooling. We just often don't have money for inserts.

I've got some 25 year old computers if you want to buy them then.

How old are you? I guarantee they were built better than PCs today.

Old tech is fun,but calling it better is just non sense. More robust for sure,but watch watch a 6axis turn center work and tell me old gear is "better". Im not being a dick,so dont get mad.

insert good name That's really not true at all, even ignoring the fact that computers 25 years ago obviously had hilariously little capability compared to today, the electronics were much less reliable. Have a look inside of some old computers there's tons of teardowns on RU-vid and you'll see what a mess it is inside of them, many hand soldered components with poor consistency (not the fault of the workers, it's just really difficult). Not to mention that ICs have obviously become much more advanced themselves and are able to have redundancy and fualt protection built in. And do I need to remind you about floppy Disks? I mean, Jesus, I could literally spend 2 hours telling you about all the advances in electronics manufacturing since then alone. I will say the old IBM keyboards were pretty heavy duty. And to answer you question I am actually 25 years old, I have been building and repairing computers nearly my whole life and I am currently getting a degree in computer engineering. So I make it my business to know these things.

I'm 35 so I *actually* lived thought the change in the marketplace form computers being Very expensive industrial type machines to the first "black cases" to now the flimsy cased, flimsy connectors, and so on... As you said the keyboards are nowhere near the quality they used to be. Just weigh an average 90's pc. You will see that almost all the steel was of a heavier gauge.

.100 seems like a light cut for me now, I like those deep heavy passes! 👍🏻👍🏻

Thank you!

That’s what Dad used to do, get the shaper going then go run the lathe.

Awesome! What kind of condition is it in?

Abom79 if i could post pics i would. Id say its in good condition, you can still see the flacking on it. Im going to upload a video of it soon. It has a 1950 date . Air force and navy tags are on it. Then a high school had it. PS. Hope your doing well.
