SNS 147 Part 1: Chuck TIR, HBM Drill&Tap, Load Cell, Auction Score, Family Party 

Man Adam, that turkey looked awesome. Making us all HUNGRY!!! Great party, great folks, wonderful family. What a bunch of great food. Love your aunt who calls you "Adam Baby" still - what a hoot. What a spread - wow! Great tools, excellent score at the flea market. Another fantastic action packed SNS. Cool geared shaft too.

Adam your family really looks great, all my family was mom and aunts and uncles on my moms side as mom and dad separated early - all wonderful people who treated me better than I deserved - but alas theyre all are gone now and seeing your family really brought back great memories and reminded me how much I miss them all. You are truly blessed Adam, you have what everyone should have and many long for so count your blessings every day and never feel like you are not rich in the best way possible.

Nice one Adam, it warms the cockles of my heart to see a warm and friendly family get together, I envy you.

Enjoy your SNS videos. Thanks ! When I was a machinist apprentice working with an old German tool maker, he stressed that one should always tighten all three holes on a drill chuck, to significantly reduce the chances of the bit slipping. I've practiced that habit for 50+ yrs and seldom ever have a bit slip. I own two machine shops for the past 40 yrs, and have & have had a number of employees. Those who practice the habit of tightening all three holes, have drills with nice smooth, un-scarred shanks. Try it - you'll be pleasantly amazed how much is helps. Hope this helps. Cheers!

Watching you eat that turkey made me drool on my sweater. Fantastic !

Haha ... I love Southern People ! Every time I visit the south I wish I lived there... I was born about 500 miles too far north. Wonderful family there Adam !

Great family. Everyone seemed to be having a good time. Thanks for sharing. Great little project on the tap holder too. All in all very enjoyable and education segment, but then all your videos are. Merry Christmas.

Hello Abom. I've worked around, not on or with, some heavy machinery but what I see in your shop blows me away. That is some big stuff. Thank you for the vids.

Adam, I must commend you on bringing your RU-vid family into your personal family's Christmas celebration. It is a wonderful thing when creators open up their lives like this. I think most of use watch videos from people like you and feel we have a "bond" for lack of a better term, after all you are opening up part of your life to us to show us things we might not have ever seen in our lives. By bringing in family we see the person you are and not just the knowledge you know. Thank you, be safe and have a Merry Christmas!

The party looks like a good time. Family for the holidays is always great!

Enjoyed the video,Nothing better than spending time with the family .The food looked great!You make the best scores at the flea market.

well done Adam! that smoked turkey is a piece of culinary art:)

Thanks for sharing Adam, lovely family, lovely spread.

Ohhh lordy! Most excellent result on the smoked turkey Abom!

I just KNOW your gonna make a video of that shaft being made! Can't wait for that one. Good looking family you have there and a merry Christmas to all..........

Hi Adam, First Merry Christmas, now it is very nice to see that you have a great family around you that you enjoy spending time with , and I want to tell you that we here in the cyber family also enjoy your company too, and lastly thank you for just being your self and God bless you and all your family too

Oh man, I knew I shouldn't have watched this around lunch time. Man, Adam you could charge admission to that spread. All the best to you and your family for a very happy Christmas. Thanks so much for another year of great videos. The "Abom Yule Log" will be playing again in the Bailey home.

You seem to have an awesome family! and that was a nice smoked turkey!!! you are awesome at cooking Adam. Keep machining on!

glad to see you were able to score some of the tooling from the auction I emailed you about. My wallet was a lot lighter when the auction was over.

Always enjoy looking at your family, Adam. They all seem so genuine and bring a smile to your face. Happy holidays..

Your lucky to have such a nice family. I like all the smiling faces. Happy Holidays.

looks like you have a lovely family Adam. the food was looking soooooooooo good glad you had a blast

I like the BBQ segments... BBQ'ing is also one of my favorite pastimes. Out of passing interest, load cells are built right into the landing gear of many aircraft these days, eliminating a lot guess work on the part of flight crews.

The bird really looks good, wonderful family.

Wow, a lot of great family and great food. Cool that your Mom is enjoying a cold beer...LOL Loved the Christmas tree muffins!!!!

Another great show Adam, especially with your family.....Jon

About 1200 lbs. on the shaft and gear. Missed that one; but I did start drooling when you taste tested that turkey. Great find on all the tooling, etc. Have great holidays especially with the family, Greg.

That turkey looks amazing man, I am also an amateur at cooking whole turkeys. The last few years I have been deep frying mine and the family seems to love i,. now my wife won't let me make it any other way. I may buy an extra next year and give it a try, those temps are tough to get right tho. Keep up the great work, it's nice to see that tight tolerances and clean, technical parts can still be done manually. It's awesome that you use dial indicators instead of DROs in your home shop, nowadays it seems like everything has to be digital or electronic and have that China Export sticker on it. Thanks for putting the time in and sharing your knowledge man.

What a great spread. Very nice family. Wish I could sample that great food.

Another good S&S, looked lilt a nice holiday dinner, chicken and dumplings looked outstanding! I'm glad I didn't guess on the weight, I would have lost badly.

Adam, Thank you for sharing your family's Christmas party what a wonderful friendly bunch of folks. Great SNS as always and thank's for the video. Merry Christmas.

Those are some heavy parts Adam , Great share .. we enjoyed ! Thumbs up ..

Glad I didn't guess, I'd have been way off. Thanks for the video Adam

The 3 drawers missing in that cabinet you scored would kill me. I once gifted my boss a complete new cabinet like that because his was missing a drawer and it pissed me off every time i saw it. He then ended up installing his old one in our work area because we needed more.... yeah thanks :/

You showed several sized items to use as gauges for estimating. I was 184.9 lbs under on my guess ---11" X 55" shaft, 30" X 8" gear and 18" dia. bearings X 11" stack of all 4 bearings and I used 495 lbs./cu. ft. for steel weight. Adam, that was a very nice tool score and a wonderful Christmas Party! Thanks for the video, keep them coming. ....13

Adam, thanks for the great video and more so for sharing some time with your family and some Christmas cheer. It reminded me of my happy Italian family gatherings of my youth that have sadly (pun intended), gone the way of the Romans. On another note, man, I would love to see that shaft project at work! Merry Christmas! Rich

Another great video as are your other videos,I loved seeing the family aspect. Merry Christmas Adam. (Watching from AUS)

Beautiful family!! God bless you all and happy holidays !!

Bro, That Turkey was BANGIN dude!!!!! Great job Adam. From Jeff,in Jupiter..

Looks like fun and good eats. Merry Christmas from freezing southern Alberta, Canada.

Good video Adam we always like to see the big boring mill.

Adam thanks for the invite to you family All the best for Christmas and 2017 enjoyed every minute. even if my guess was way off. thumbs up from Down under.

You are very lucky Adam--that sort of stuff is like hens teeth in oz--we just do not see it at all in the country-- I am turning green with envy and that is why i make so much of my workshop machines and tooling.--E

great to be with family merry Christmas

Adam, you and Keith Fenner are my favorite machinist RU-vidrs! Love you guys!

Merry Christmas Adam--Thanks for another great year of content.

Another great SNS. Thanks Adam. It was nice to invite us to the family.Tell everybody I said Hi and Merry Christmas! Looks like everybody was about to have a great time with a bunch of really great food! Man, you know how to make a bunch of guys hungry! LOL Now that we know how much that big gear and shaft weighed, the next question is what did it go it? I know that there are some things that can't be told in business but we're wondering. Getting ready to watch your next video right after I go to the kitchen. Merry Christmas, Adam.

Damn, that's a lot of really delicious looking food!

big family get-togethers are so cool.

That's an awesome gear and shaft!

awesome family party.....happy Christmas to your family

I found out some time ago that you're supposed to tighten the chuck using all three holes. It seems to work a lot better as I have spun drills when just using one hole. All that food made me hungry.

☕️🍩😊 Enjoyed it, that turkey looks good 👍

Great vids Adam! love watching your channel. Came by way of AVE. and have been hanging around a little over a month. Gulf shrimp, bbq, boils with smoking along with machining are perfect. Thanks!

Ha, now that's a abom-sized roller bearing! :)

one ton and a half, yes! almost spot on

Another good video Adam. Merry Christmas

I have lifted a lot of heavy stuff with eyebolts especially electric motors and it always makes my rear end pucker.

Nothing like spending time with the family. I wasn't even close on the weight.

Lol. I love your mom she is awesome

What a fantastic family get together. Think I going to work on something like that. Trouble is our houses over here arnt as as big, so it may have to be a marquee which wont be quite the same. DES.

Our #20 Jacobs chuck has a two handed chuck key. It's like 8 inches long. Loads of torque. I can use it in our BPort and lathe, but I don't like to.

Love the videos. I used your heavy parallel setup recently. I had thought about it and it seems the best way

Love the channel and watching videos. Only thing I saw wrong was the shackle used to lift the assembly was on wrong the pin is used to connect to the lifting hook or lug not the straps.

Come on Adam, don't go about dissing metric! There are a lot of us European guys watching and subscribing. Your channel is actually the first yt channel I ever subscribed to.

Wow another tap wrench. Lol Go Adam!

i like your diversity of your channel awesome

AvE wasn't kidding when you said you were a mountain of a man. Holy Hell, genetics were in your favour

15:00 Gents when the man asks you for a little slice of you lunch make sure your definition of little slice is aligned with Adam's. LOL Looking good there bud.

That spread looked tastey as!!

Merry Christmas Abom :) Greetings from Holland

Looks like it's kinda cool up there man. It hit 82 here today,supposed to go to 85 tomorrow... I hope y'all can send some of your cool weather on down here to Jupiter!

Big Thanks Motion et al: for hosting the at work videos. Videos informative and entertaining. Does size matter?

Really cool I am a new fan, thanks alot

Have a Merry Christmas ......

damn, that turkey looked tasty

It would be so cool to have one of those big bearings.

I have always tightened drill chucks with all three holes. Seems to work better. No matter how tight you get it with the first hole, it always seems to move with the second and third hole. Perhaps something to do with the sleeve flexing. I also usually modify the key with a longer and larger diameter bar. I hate those little wimpy keys that they come with.

Maybe you could machine that shaft down to make a new spindle for the test indicator.

Judging by how the indicator seemed to jump erratic it seems maybe the Kearns is in need of some new spindle bearings maybe. Great to see the family and all the tool scores. That big eyebolt is massive! What is the max rating on the load cell?

I guessed 3500 lbs. Love the xmas dinner. Thanks Greg

Hey Adam, another great video! However, I just gotta comment that this vid contains three of my pet peeves. First, I cn't believe how many guys , even pro's like yourself don't tighten their three jaw chucks in all three positions. God, or whoever designed them, built those chucks with three positions to tighten down on the piston that push the jaws together. Tightening only one puts uneven pressure on the ring (or ball bearings) which actually squeeze the jaws together resulting in uneven and reduced pressure on the tool. You can see this for yourself by indicating the tool. Not only is the clamping pressure reduced, but the jaws clamping unevenly can't hold the tool evenly. You can always tell an uninformed workman by the grooves in his drill bit shanks, and by the bent handle of the chuck wrench from over tightening. Secondly, applying excessive force when using a single flute countersink. The uneven side force on the tool tends to deflect not only the tool, but also the workpiece, the chuck, and the machine spindle shaft. Subjecting these parts to such extreme forces can actually bend and deform them. Even on such large and ridged machines as your shop's horizontal boring machine you can plainly see the tool and spindle deflecting. I keep my single flute countersinks in a flexible self-centering chuck for use in any machine. Thirdly, although I'm probably the world's worst cook (if I can't microwave it, I can't cook it), watching you or someone else achieve such great success with BBQing or smoking meats makes me feel so inadequate​. Same goes for watching your machining prowess. I am not worthy... peace-out..Tc

So... the weigt is like a smaller car :) thats pretty awesome comparement :)

Fun video, thanks. Are you going to get a chance to film the press out of the gear and bearing? That'd be great!

Great episode buddy! Loads of great content. Can't wait to see the new carport actually, that will be fun to see. Always love seeing family time in the videos and its awesome to see everyone enjoying being on camera. Just makes me smile. My guess on the shaft and gear was initially 3100 but then changed it to double that. Looks like my first guess was far closer than I thought. Still one HEAVY son of a gun though. Are you going to film the press work in a future video? The big boy presswork is ALWAYS awesome to see and this one will be especially impressive! Do you think this one will take a lot of heat like the last big shaft job?

Adam - I guessed 3,500 lbs - Kathy is sitting right next to me - she couldn't believe it!

Hi Adam The turkey looks awesome, would like to have smell-o-vision! For me it's kinda strange to talk about BBQ on christmas, we have about 0°C/32°F on average, so no BBQ weather in Austria! But the next summer will be come. ;)

I thought the one inch eye bolt was huge, then you brought out the 2 1/2 inch... wow

*looks down at vegetable sandwich on desk* *looks up at turkey*

"I just wanted to share". Well apparently not, 'cuz I didn't get any smoked turkey! ;) (disregard if it is still in the mail) Merry Christmas Adam!

I guessed 1.5ton thinking that I might be slightly over. Wow is that thing heavy!

GREAT JOB , GREAT VIDEO , I THANK I WELL HAVE A TURKEY SANDWICH...

Congratz on 100k subs!

...Abom....like MrPete....100% thumbs up....!

Om nom nom!!! 🦃 Great vid!

Jeez. I was WAY off with my guess of 2000 lbs. O__O The dang eyebolt to help pick up the shaft was insane too! This gear and shaft used to drive a house-sized ball-mill or something? It sure looks like its that size, and the motor must be of a freakish, sick size too! Heheheh

Pretty awesome tool score! Micro 100 is literally 2 miles from my house. Small world man.

turkey looks great. try a little orange wood. ive done both pacan an orange both good. when I was in Tampa I found a orange wood was good.

Missed the weight by a country mile...we need smellavision for your BBQ...Turkey looks great. Merry Christmas...if that offends anyone too bad

Happy Christmas Adam
