My visit with Steve Summers and his cool shop in the hills of Kentucky! If you don;t know Steve please go check out his channel and give him a subscription. / @stevesummers
It seems that all these metal working RU-vidrs are all really good friendly and calm people. I dig watching your video's. Really great craftsmanship and I enjoy your vibe. Hope RU-vid is good/fun for you.
I'm 66 years old walk with a cane and I would still try to dumpster dive for a Wilton Vice. I have one that was bolted to some scrap metal that was given to me 40 years ago. It just does not get better than the quality that was made years ago. I gasp for breath seeing what a good Wilton Vice will sell for at the swap meets now days. I really enjoy seeing outside the shop as well Steve/Adam. I live on 8.25 acres myself and love drinking my coffee on the porch swing watching the Scissor Tails catch grasshoppers. The older I get the more time i take for nature. Mother Nature gave us everything we have we should honor Her by taking time to notice. Thanks Guys.
Wow, I've been following Steve's shop rebuild videos. It's cool to see what it was like before construction. I love when my favourite channels cross over like this!
Great video Adam, Steve is a true gentleman, and very humble. As anybody can tell he is very smart at what he does, and enjoys learning his craft. I can watch shaper channels all day long!
Hey Adam - Beautiful country up there isn't it. Great trip you are on. Thanks for sharing. I have a 16" Cincinatti shaper. Much older that Steve's. You mentioned a feeds and speeds chart that is on your machine. Can you post a legible pic of it please. Many thanks. Uncle Bob
I've been watching you (Adam) and Steve for a while and have enjoyed both of you. Many more, too like the fellow down the road you are visiting next, Brian. Well, this is your resident bricklayer signing off and looking forward to a bunch more machine trades videos from you guys, Greg.
Love your stuff man, so when you doing a tour of This Old Tony's place - just watched you cameo in his filing video, think you need to go pay him a visit.
Watching yours and Steve's channel drove me to find the shaper I now have. Its a Cincy 24" . About 10 years newer , it has the electric clutch for the ram. And I to have moved it a few inche across the floor from being in the wrong gear.
Thanks Adam, Steve's vidios are on the top quality list. Wish I could make a visit, I have many shaper tricks, also many shaper attachments even a mill / drill attachment.
I am fully enjoying all of these shop tours your giving. Some of the guys I've heard of some I haven't but every one of you guys seem to be the kind of guys that I would really get along with. I am no machinist (yet) but hear this if I ever move to an area that any of you guys live in, you will have a guy willing to push a broom and make things sparkle just for the opportunity to learn a percentage of a percentage of the knowledge you guys have. While I may be reaching the edge of being an old fart (44) I don't think I'll ever be to old to start learning this sort of stuff. Keep up the good work.
Just a growing community of machinists, metal workers, and makers who all share the same passions. We all enjoy meeting new people and making new friends.
I will be getting a 7 inch atlas shaper in the next month some time I watched all of ur shaper videos for when I rebuild mine very helpful. I also have lots of tools for you if you'll get back with me I sent an email and a pm on facebook.
Its doesn't seem that long ago that when shapers were mentioned they were considered "old hat" and quickly passed over. But now they are all the talk of the moment. Me, having used a shaper in my working days I'm glad to see them back in vogue.
Love this tour as well! It was good to see the front area of Steve's shop, since he never really shows it. You two and Brian Bloc are my 3 favorite RU-vid channels. All 3 of ya seem to be the most down to earth guys around, even though y'all are RU-vid famous. ;-) Thanks for the tour and I sure hope that there's gona be a Bailey Bloc's shop tour video as well.
This fella a machine shop I used to work at had adjusted the punch press just a little too tight and it was jumping every stroke. I had to help him pull it back in place and we couldn't budge so we started stamping parts and every time it jumped we could move it about an inch with both of us pulling on it.
Very cool and comfortable shop tour. Thanks to you and Adam for taking us along. You have inspired me to make a shop tour video of my shop. Great stuff Steve....
I am glad to see two good partners talking about machinery and tools and some other topics related, and I hope this is not the last time you two shall see on videos, congratulations both, and have a great time in the smokey mountains celebrating with 60 degs. apple brandy or corn liquor, because you have a clear water stream, thick vegetation, and very long traditions.
Steve Summers, You've come a long way in a short period of time, and even though I too am new to machining, (about 10 years now) you have some serious skills. Even Adam said you were one up on him regarding your tool cutter grinder! Very impressive Steve. Even your videos put mine to shame.. Hopefully one day I get the privilege to meet you! Razor!
I have been watching steve for a few years he was the first guy I ever saw with a scraper I didn't even know what a scraper was till I started watching steves channel. Thanks for sharing Adam Steve seems like like a good down to earth guy for sure just like you. Have a great day.
I have been watching Steve's videos and he does lots of interesting work. This is the first time that I have seen the outside of the shop. Nice area. Oh, the country life!!
Don't know about the hot woman.. but I wanna see it pop a wheelie. Now I have to chase down one of Steve's shaper videos. I have to see this thing in action.
Hey Adam and Steve)) as someone who live vicariously through your videos it is great to see you both at the same time)) please keep up the great videos)))
Adam, thanks for this Video, turning me onto a fellow Brother from the Hills of Ky. I was Born, and Raised in the Hills of Eastern Ky. So, I am headed over to Subscribe to his channel right now. What a Beautiful Cincinnati.
Hi Adam, Steve has an awesome beard there👍. Love his videos, I subscribed long ago and in fact i was one of the guys who on your channel mentioned Steve as a guy with a scraper. Kindest regards. Joe.
UK magazines - Model Engineer or Engineering in Miniature - can't remember which - had a Quorn Tool and Cutter Grinder as a kit; you just had to machine it and put it together ...
