Monday Night Meatloaf 134

[Music] welcome back doc's tools i'm tom so i think we're about due for a meatloaf episode so uh for those of you that are new to the channel meatloaf is a collection of uh kind of engineering and machine shop related subjects that are not long enough to make their own video so we're going to look at some tools instrument gauges uh viewer appreciation gifts bunch of different stuff so let's check it out all right this one here is a um another ebay score um i've actually been doing pretty good on ebay lately um i don't this one i don't think was a buy it now um but other folks were not interested in it because of the way it was listed and this is a what it is for those of you that don't know is this is a taft-pierce magnetic um compound sign plate and when you say compound sine plate what that means is is it tilts in two directions okay it's got two hinges on it you get a sign set up this way and you got a sign set up this way okay we'll talk about that more in just a sec um and it was listed as for parts are not working right and they had you know decent amount of pictures and whatnot so i kind of scanned the pictures and looked at it well honestly there's not a lot to go wrong with these things right uh usually what happens is from lack of use um the uh the rotating magnetic assembly here gets jammed up and then people can't turn it and they give up on it and and you know call it quits right well and that's exactly what was wrong with this one so um this was 51. okay plus uh 30 bucks to ship it so it's a little bit expensive to ship although you know the scheme of things not that expensive right um and these are pretty nutty money uh brand new if you can find one uh in particular at taft pierce right so there are thousands of dollars right uh and now that said it doesn't come up very often right um well in some industries it comes up more than more than others having to do compound angles so what is a compound angle right that's what everybody's out there is sitting in front of their computers or their tvs doing and they're going what the hell is a compound angle right well the classic example is is a tool like this okay so where we have we have an angle here and then we have another angle on the side okay and then there's um this uh i don't know what they call this the true angle or whatever so that's the intersection between two uh two different angles right it's this this one here which is whatever it is i don't know what it is on this particular tool so now this is a this is like a 60 degree threading tool with some amount of relief on the side so um so if we were to set this up on a compound uh sine plate like this we'd do something like this now let's just turn this turn this on here so we're so we're locked on right so we would do the first angle okay hopefully you guys can see that that's here right but you can see this angle is falling off this way right so to get both of these in one shot we would do that okay and now i'm just eyeballing it here folks okay so now you have this angle and the relief angle at the same time so that's the definition of kind of a compound angle and you know if you want to learn more about i've been thinking about doing a video on the on compound angles but it's one of those kind of esoteric things that just doesn't come up that much and i think it's better to do it in context to you know something that you want to do like this right as opposed to just yapping about trigonometry and uh and true angles and projected angles and all this other stuff it sounds like a pretty boring video to me it sounds like a video that i wouldn't want to watch so i probably won't make it unless there's some huge response to uh to this right but anyway that's the classic example machinery's handbook has a couple of examples in fact they have they use this type of a tool as an example um because it's it's pretty simple and um uh and easy to follow along so needless to say these angles that you set are not the actual angles um that uh that you might think they are okay um to get that in one shot okay so uh just know that and um so machinery's handbook's got that and so as elite is a follow-on to this just completely coincidental is a guy named jeff taylo um his dad was a a tool and die maker right was which is where you would see this kind of action okay tool and i work where you've got punches and reliefs on punches and dies and things like that he sent me this little this little trig easy calculator for compound angles okay and so you can solve for the different sides here by just rotating this and it'll tell you if you know certain angles right it'll it'll solve for the unknowns here depending on what what you know and what you don't know and um anyway uh jeff's dad had a whole bunch of stuff and uh you know was he used to watch mr pete he's uh he's since passed away so he's in the uh in the big tool and die shop in the sky but uh um would have been uh tickled to see some of his stuff on the uh on on youtube so uh anyway uh um so this is a you know for compound trigonometry right it's it's special for this kind of stuff so these two things kind of just came out of the sky together and uh and landed here in ox tools central and kind of at the same time so jeff thanks for sending those along and uh and um you know like i said if we get a big strong response on uh wanting to do a video on compound angles and uh maybe i'll ouch that's sharp um might consider that so thanks a lot joe all right we've got a couple of cool books here and um this is a guy named dana willis who who sent me some stuff before and i guess he saw stuff on video and decided to send me some more stuff and dana thank you very much these are both uh actually there was some other stuff with it but uh um thank you for sending that box there's some interesting stuff this book in particular is pretty spectacular um so let's look at this book first then psych um so dana's dad worked for this company actually the braun company and they were in alhambra california which is down in southern california and uh it's no more uh in fact i looked on google google maps and uh it's a city building now or it's a uh a county building now or whatever the uh this is where this plant was and this is a big manufacturing plant that made heat exchangers and big heavy steel stuff but anyway as a engineer at the brawn company his dad was you know doing design work and for the petrochemical industry and um you know not uncommon to have a book about stainless steel right now i got a couple of tags in here we're just going to buzz through this there's a couple of interesting things in here and um let's just flip right to it you know there's all kinds of stuff in here like well preps and uh service temperatures and that and there's some cool pictures okay and that's kind of what some of what i want to show you there so here's a here's a pretty cool picture and what this looks like to me is it's a an external fitting for a tank right and they're they're cutting this curvature here or they're machining this curvature so that it fits up against the uh the tank wall and now if you first first cut it you say oh he's doing it on a shaper right well it's actually a giant planer is what it is and you can see the the cross head up here here's a lead screw see the crosshead up here and then these uh dogs and whatnot are kind of indicative of a big planer so they've short stroke in a planer to uh to cut that out which is pretty cool that's just a really neat picture and a guy's face is in there it's you know i like this kind of stuff so uh neat picture so let's uh let's see what the next tag here is um oh so this is about machining stainless steel and it says here so lots of commercial lubricants are available blah blah blah but if you want to make your own here's a recipe right so powdered sulfur lard oil and lard ore lard oil soda ash and water so anyway i just thought it was funny uh making your own stuff and uh coming up with some powdered sulfur and lard oil sulfur added to um to cutting sulfur and chlorine i usually improve uh um cutting action with a lubricant so uh but they're not always usable on and on all materials particularly in the modern uh modern days here and then down here is actually a really cool statement here about turning you know keeping your tools sharp blah blah blah and then number three here i love this one here take a heavy cut and keep cutting and that is really true right so don't don't when you're cutting stainless steel get on to it right and uh you're not going super fast but load it up and go right and uh if you if you whittle away at it with whiskers you just kill your tool and uh and you just have a lot of trouble so uh that's actually really good advice right there and then the last part i thought was kind of neat was they had samples okay and now they were just inserted in the jacket of the book here and these are the different mill finishes here and um so what we see in modern times right you don't see a lot of these uh kind of lower grade finishes except on kind of heavy plate on sheet metal you see your your 2b and your number four which is we call it grained or food grade or whatever number seven i didn't even know there was such a thing because we used number eight which was a mirror finish um so it makes sense that they can pull these different materials out because it all starts here and then this is just kind of a natural progression uh in the finishing operations of the sheet metal okay so number eight is basically they use it for mirrors um in prisons actually uh because you can't break it so a little tidbit there all right um okay so that's that book now let's look at this book i was setting the exposure on this page here and and this font is kind of interesting i don't know if you guys picked up on it there but uh it's kind of art decoy uh um slightly uh this book is shortly after world war ii 1946 i think there's the the big bronze plant um and uh it the thing is massive and it's got the sawtooth roof here to let light in it's just uh pretty spectacular um so once again i'm just gonna i got some stuff tagged here that's of of interest well to me at least and that's the first one here so i like this one here and it's got these wonderful um and i don't know you know what i don't know what they call the style of drawing here but they're you know they're pencil drawings or whatever pen and ink drawings or whatever that have been photographed or reprinted or whatever but just just beautiful right i mean there's a t-shirt right there pow right and shows the plant you know uh plate forming and um uh the plate shop and whatnot they're they're spinning uh tank heads here um that's i've run a shear like that that's a cincinnati mechanical shear and in my opinion has the best hold down and guarding system uh ever to be created on a sheer um look how open that is right you can see right up to the blade but um the way they've got a design you can't get your fingers under the hold downs or up to the blade you'd really have to try so it's just a wonderful setup as opposed to some of these modern things that are just completely blocked off and you can't see anything in there so anybody that's run a sheer can appreciate that so um let's see what else we got here this one here so um heavy welding once again just a beautiful drawing here uh oh i know i i i flagged this one here so they're this is kind of interesting how they've they've they've got these big bridge cranes in here and um you see that we call these a fish belly type because they're they got a continuous curvature so basically what they're doing is they're modifying the cross section so that it has a kind of uniform deflection for the minimum weight right and so it's kind of old style they don't do it that way anymore because it's expensive to build they just use these big i-beams um but this is a 200 ton capacity and that's between these two cranes here they got big sister hooks on them and then they got little auxiliary hoists here but the way they have them rated here they have a nominal of 85 ton maximum 90 ton and then an auxiliary of 10 ton so they don't rate cranes like this anymore they just have a rating and they test them to typically uh once a year or something like that to 125 percent um or every couple of years to 125 percent something like that but normally you don't see cranes rated that way it's just kind of an interesting thing so between the two of these it looks like at maximum and using the auxiliary hoist at the same time they get 200 tons on the rails uh in this plant which is pretty significant load so 200 tons is uh that's a mighty lift okay and it's just a mighty lift okay let's see what's next here this is the next one here this one's pretty cool dude on a radial drill here okay and uh they got a whole big giant machine shop here that's pretty cool and i think it's worth maybe going in a little bit here because there's a guy drilling a tube sheet an army of uh big old radial drills here same here basically a hall full of radial drills man a lot of drilling going on there so i bet the drill sharpening guy was a pretty busy dude at that plant so uh and i did find um um you know this is in the era where you didn't see a lot of women in this industry right and i did find uh one gallon here um working in the uh bundle section doing heat exchangers and stuff um okay so this one this is uh this is larry and mo here okay working in the materials testing area here and um so uh this is larry and or excuse me that's mo and that's larry this is what's called a charpie uh c-h-a-r-p-y charpy impact tester and they put a little sample down here and then uh dude's got his hand on the lever that releases this uh big swinging head whacker here and look dude's like right pretty much in the way or certainly his hand is in the way there um i would be a little bit nervous about this uh this whole setup right here with this dude right here usually you load the sample and then step around and release it so anyway i don't know if larry made it but i just got a kick out of that safety third right so kind of funny all right let's see what's left here oh this is cool um so in the olden days um they had when they used to bend pipe okay they'd fill them up with sand and they'd heat them up in a furnace and then they lay them up on these bending tables and they'd have a series of pins and dies and stuff that kind of inserted in all these holes and then off to the side you can't see it but they had big winches that they would basically put a cable or a rope around the end of the pipe and they would use the winch and they would just use the pipe to pull it around the and form it so i've seen it done on the floor and then up on tables like this and this table is very securely anchored here and then it's got a railing that's looks fairly so this railing is um this railing you see here is even with the table top so that the pipe as it's being bent can slide across there and not droop and uh and give you a kind of a um a compound bend there so anyway pipe bending table kind of neat and then there's another lithograph or pen and ink drawing there that's pretty cool [Music] so dana thank you very much this is a pretty awesome book i really enjoyed this and um i'll probably post some pictures out of this on instagram just because it's kind of neat so thank you so much for sending this stuff in like i said these things just uh these things are falling out of the air and keep showing up in my mailbox so uh this uh this collection here uh comes from all the way from england and uh you'll notice that some of the uh these are um pretty exclusively uh from uh from england here you know just by the the labeling and whatnot but this is from phil allen and he's in swindon wiltshire um in uh in england in the uk and uh anyway he uh i guess i he didn't say where he got all these but i guess he was saving them up and and never did anything with them and said hey well i might like let's do a world map of machine plates or whatever and uh so anyway a box showed up anyway phil went to some expense because he sent me a bunch of books and i'm going to show you here in a second too uh they kind of go with well they don't go with the tags but the tags were in the lot here so there's just some great colors in here and uh and embl or logos and whatnot like this one here it's got this little this little swift here or whatever that is a bird that's just wonderful um it i don't know i mean uh look here's a there's big ben the uh you know there's just some famous kind of iconic stuff here you know and the fonts and the styling and whatnot it's just this is fun stuff to look at here now this is uh this is probably off of some kind of electronic tube or large uh who knows what a vacuum tube would be my guess on that one there and we've got some motor name plates or drill press name plates yeah there's a drill it's half in half inch drill capacity so that's pretty old pretty uh pre-metric deal there and uh this is pretty old here hughes and lancaster air products limited uh yeah what's this yeah i'm trying to read this stuff upside down so give me a break okay alexander alexander dudley machinery limited alexander machinery dudley limited i think it's alexander dudley machinery limited so you you read i don't know whatever so um just neat stuff so phil thank you very much for sending these along and as i said earlier or in another video that i have to find a kind of a modular way to start displaying these right and uh so i'm putting people's names on the back um so i remember where they came from and at least they can track track it down in the emails and whatnot and figure it out so uh just some wonderful badges and just i mean that one's that was cast brass and and chrome plated or something like that you know uh this is off of some steam boiler or something like that huddersfield hudder huddersfield yeah what's that one there he's that caster i i don't know it's just what can you say about this stuff it's just really cool right and uh it's just a variety of shapes and and that they're three-dimensional and they have relief you know some and most of them have some kind of relief to them right that just makes some kind of little tiny miniature works of art so anyway very much appreciate it thank you very much phil so phil also sent a bunch of books and we're just going to buzz through them real quick um this book i've actually read this book i have a copy of this myself this is actually an excellent book it's a uh it's about material it's a book about materials there or metals in particular um and it's written in such a way that um it's not like hyper technical okay so it's kind of it's got it enough technical stuff so you get a pretty good sense of these things and um and they you know they dig into the details but not so much that it's like a um engineering textbook you know with lots of equations and things like that so it's it's a good it's a you can it's a reading book you can read it kind of from start to finish right it reads like it like a novel kind of okay so i do recommend this book actually and um you'll learn a lot about metallurgy and metals in general and um um and you know you can find a used copy pretty easily and uh anyway he sent this along so that's one and uh then we got uh this one here this is pretty cool um what this is is it's kind of an exercise book for um draftsman and designers that's got some uh you know nice examples of you know doing shaft and gear tooth calculations and beam strengths and things like that with no uh you know super heavy duty mats right you know so there's no this is all this uh algebraic stuff here right you know magicians addition subtraction uh some square roots things like that right so no uh multivariate tensor calculus or differential equations or anything like that so pretty good um what's the date on that 47 to 48 right so uh back when things were were relatively practical so let's see we got that and then uh here's a good one here uh grinding data handbook right uh it's got a lot of information about uh grinding wheels uh for different applications but there was a good little chart in here that i kind of liked that um this is the effects on grinding action um you know speed uh increase decrease right um wheel speed work speed traverse speed and in feed in feed rate is that what it says yeah input rate so it's kind of though all those things are interconnected when you're grinding so by changing one of those speeds you affect some of the others right so that was kind of a i thought that was a a nice uh condensed way to look at that so that's why i feel like that particular one there so look at that and we got this one here this is pretty cool um workshop technology so this is basically kind of a beginning text on uh on metalworking and machine technology right they talk about iron and steel um you know and then machine tools and uh the good old days when uh you used to um they would give you a a plate and you would use a cape chisel and you would chisel chip some grooves in that they used to do a lot of work with chisels boy some just amazing stuff too um not much anymore but surprising what you can do with the chisel if that's what you have to work with so uh protractor there's a little bit on scraping and uh and things like that and then what do i have flagged here oh i thought this was pretty cool i've never seen this before so what we got here is an interesting way to check the corner height or the corner consistency uh on a drill so what they're doing here uh is there support um some crud on the end of my tweezers there they're supporting the drill in the same place right and then they make some they put some blueing on here or a sharpie right although it wasn't sharpie back then and then what they do is they they scratch one corner of the drill across that marking right and it produces a line then you rotate the drill 180 and you do the same thing so this is actually a pretty sensitive test to see if those two edges are at the same height uh and i've never seen that before that's kind of cool and uh i was thinking about bending up a little piece of sheet metal and playing around with that and uh and seeing how well it works but um you know i mean the principle seems sound to me um and uh you know for checking that because otherwise you're just kind of you're using the drill gauge and you're looking at a line you're lining up with a line or whatever or you're you're flipping the drill back and forth to kind of judge if those two edges are in the same place so anyway i just thought that was kind of cool and then um oh um another youtuber contacted me um um about he bought a six-jaw chuck and uh that's got some bell-mouth jaws and uh this is a good diagram of uh of how you set up a tool post grinder um to grind the jaws and uh you know you got bell mouth jaws like that right and you want to make them parallel again um you have to preload the jaws like they're clamping on something and the cool way to do that is to put a little ring in the back and usually in the jaws there's a little step back there where you can kind of sneak that in there and load those jaws up so you don't have to do any elaborate malarkey on the front and then you just grind them you grind them parallel or whatever so i was going to take a picture of that and text it to him but i just haven't got around to it yet and i may help him out a little bit we'll see what he wants to do there so so there's that okay let's see what else we got here um all right it saved the best one for last so this is another book that uh that phil uh sent and what this is is it's a um kind of a technical manual for a rolls-royce jet engine and i think this is the name of the jet engine uh adore um and um so it's basically full of really cool diagrams okay and um uh that show the different the different subsystems and mechanical systems of of this jet engine right so um it's some kind of study guide or manual and whatnot and uh for for these things and just beautiful i mean look at this drawing right i mean this is like off the hook right and i gotta say this is probably pre-cad right um would be my guess although i don't know it's it's just it's really nicely done right so if it's done by hand it's amazing um and let's see let's see if we can find a date on this thing here um well we'll we'll look for a date and but i got one page flagged here that i thought was pretty uh pretty cool here and it's got some color and whatnot let's get that out of there and then we'll then we'll go look for a date here look at that i mean it it's a huge fold out here right and what is this actually showing this is the pipe connections right of all the piping and uh um tubing and whatnot that interconnect all these different systems together right pretty pretty neat stuff okay let's let's uh let's see if we can find a date in this [Applause] well okay so this is an art door mark 102 um and this looks like some of these drawings are 1977. okay so this is probably pre-cad right or just coming into cad you know the aircraft industry was one of the early adopters of a lot of cad stuff and uh um so kind of hard to say but um if it's done by hand it's it's amazing right so anyway phil thanks for sending that that's pretty cool to look at and um those are uh hey if anybody's got one of these jet engines and needs a manual uh drop me a note and uh we'll work some out so phil thanks for sending all that stuff the badges and the books this is uh this is an awesome collection thank you sir all right this next one here this is uh this is pretty cool and you know we were we were talking about these things uh the other day um i showed the uh the nikon um you know it's kind of a screwless uh screw okay and what this is is this is a commercially available version of that and uh i found this on ebay actually and the uh the seller gave me a a quite a discount on it so uh anyway i bought it for like 40 bucks uh it you know it's a good size it uh it's three quarter inch um and uh it's it's kind of an interesting concept to show here so i figured i'd go through it and and show it so this one has six bearings here and you can probably see that these bearings are and you can certainly see that one there and that one right the bearings are tipped they're canted um and they and their contact points form a helix um now this particular one this is a uh they call it a rolex and it's made by the company xeromax okay this particular one has a uh a hundred thousandths lead so one revolution gives you a hundred thousands advance so um um now they have these all the way up to six inch lead so one revolution gives you six inches of travel right which is kind of uh that's pretty gnarly right uh pretty surprising but let's take it apart so you guys can see the see the guts of this thing and honestly it's it's pretty dog simple um you know from uh let's pop it apart okay i mean there it is that's it right so um you know it's got a couple of guide pins locating pins and uh and the two the two oops shell halves kind of uh indexed together let's put it back together and then what we're gonna do because everybody's curious about it is we're going to stick a shaft in there and that's a three-quarter inch shaft okay all right now and then so this uh the one interesting thing about this is you certainly don't need a thread on this um so you get a a screw action with no screw okay so um they're probably not very sensitive to contamination you know you can have sawdust or chips or oil dribbling on these and it doesn't uh it doesn't uh do much to them it certainly doesn't get in the threads and uh and cause a problem there you can kind of see it working and then you can adjust the other interesting thing about this is depending on how much you pre-load these right okay so they're it's an overload device too so if you have something uh that's moving and maybe it's susceptible to jamming or something like that um you can control the release pressure by uh by adjusting these screws here so right there i don't know maybe that's 10 pounds something like that okay now this unit's rated up to 60 pounds of thrust uh when it's when it's maxed out and uh which is uh not a lot for a screw um but uh if you have a kind of an overload situation or whatever uh that might be a kind of an appropriate number and that's where you might use something like this so let's uh let's crank this down a little bit and then you can see hopefully you can see it advancing now before you get all excited about this and you're going to build a machine that uses these and whatnot i don't think the lead is very accurate on these okay and uh they don't go they don't even tell you uh what to expect on the website and um so we'll go uh we'll go check it and we'll see how this thing repeats and um and play around with it a little bit and then uh you know if you have an application and you know kind of universal mounting if you have an application for something like this then you know about them right all right let's clamp this down here like so all right and then what we're gonna do is we're gonna put mr indicator here preload that a little bit let's put it kind of in the center let's see can you see that yeah you can see that okay all right and let's okay um and then what we can do let's get that down there like that let's do this so we'll start right there and then what i want to do is i want to put some kind of uh some kind of index mark on there like that and then maybe let's put a little scratch in that like so so we got a good a good discrete index mark okay so we're zeroed zero the indicator where zero this is supposed to be a hundred thousandths lead so let's let's uh let's check it okay i have my magnifier on but it looks pretty good and so we're what and a half let's see if we goes back to the the same place there that looks like about right there okay that's pretty good within an hour so um one nice thing here is there's no there and i'm i'm pushing on it axially here there's very and that's just his you know that's this kind of flex in the system there right so there's no backlash that's one real nice thing about them so there's no backlash but the uh the lead is not uh particularly accurate okay um so if you're thinking about using them for a machine tool or something like that uh you would want to have some kind of um some kind of feedback loop you know uh so it would be an encoder or a linear scale or if you just need uh you know um stops or whatever you would use limit switches and whatnot or uh you know if you need to travel to a certain place and then come back or whatever something like that um you might use limit switches but uh not to say that you couldn't use them in a in a machine tool application you just have to have some kind of feedback mechanism so anyway so that's a rolex made by xeromax and kind of cool they're still available and they're not super expensive or anything like that but if you have an application there they are all right so these two items here these come to us from a gentleman named john ranaletta and he knows uh mr fields who uh who was the the owner of these tools and uh in his note to me says uh mr fields is very close to life's finish line so hopefully uh uh mr fields will get to see this video and see see uh some of his tools that uh that he sent along um show up on on video here so uh what we got is we have a very a super nice um tubular micrometer here right and this is uh this is lufkin here and uh if you don't already know this lufkin is just a really nice brand and you know they're equivalent to steroid and brown and sharp although not as pursued i would say um but they i think have some of the best satin chrome in the biz and uh and they have a couple of kind of unique items that kind of belong to them too now this one is a tubular inside mic that goes from um let's see i think this one goes to 24. yeah four to 24 inches so by combining these different uh tubular rods here you can get you know you can measure up to a 24 inch bore which is uh that's pretty good size so this covers a pretty good range here um and um what was i going to say oh the tubular is nice because they they make this a larger diameter so these are stiffer and um uh then the small diameter little inside mic rods which are kind of kind of flimsy in my opinion you know when he's when you start getting him uh you know stretched out a little bit and apparently uh he was a pretty uh um judicious about uh gouging his name into uh stuff because i guess he the plant that he worked in there was a lot of uh tool borrowers or whatever so uh anyway mr fields uh thanks i don't think he didn't say his first name there it's uh our fields but uh maybe richard or robert or something like that so uh anyway and then here we have a universal dial indicator said this is starrett um it's missing the indicator but i think i got one kicking around here somewhere that i'll uh that i'll dig out and then there's a couple of bits in here that kind of don't belong with this these guys here not sure what these went to these look like some kind of old indicator kind of accessories but not the universal i don't believe so uh but we'll leave them in there just in case and these are this is all in very nice shape here except it's missing the indicator so i'll see if i can come up with an indicator for this and make it a complete set so anyway what he wants to do with these is uh he wants these to go to a uh um you know an apprentice or somebody that's coming up in the trade and whatnot um and so i'll see if i can find an appropriate person to uh to lay those on so anyway john thanks for sending that stuff in i really appreciate it and uh you taking the effort to do that and we'll find a good home for these well this next one is kind of special it comes to us from uh um a pretty famous uh youtuber and uh and uh you guys i don't know if you watch my channel you might watch his channel he's certainly got his own style and we are talking about the one the only ave anyway ave and i go back a long ways actually um many years ago um uh when i you know when he was getting started in util we were both getting started in youtube he uh he sent me a little a little care package uh all the way from canada and um it had one of these uh one of these uh swedish uh nut adjusters here uh they're actually really nice uh they're really nice crescent wrenches a mcmaster car sells them by the way so you can get them down here and actually they're made in the u.s they ship them to canada and then he shipped it back so the the one he sent me uh went on quite a ride anyway he's uh abe has gotten into machine work and he made a whole bunch of big honking hammers and he made him the hard way and there is a lot of machining uh tool path on here and i suppose that some of that is the um what makes this kind of interesting is uh these trippy tool paths that he's got on here so uh so anyway he sent me this big whopping uh copper adjuster and with a crooked handle look at that i don't know i don't even know what to say about that you know the handle's crooked it's bothering my ocd here that it's touching on one side and uh and uh it's not central in that groove so i'm just gonna stop looking at it so you guys know how much i like hammers so uh abe thanks for sending that along that's pretty cool and uh this box is sweet man that's a that's a nice box i have to say and this is a nice touch here where he actually you know relieved all the wood down to and left the left these locating pins here uh to do all that that's pretty uh that's a lot of machine work so um um anyway i appreciate it thank you so much for sending that and if you're watching this let's figure out a a collaboration to do together and i don't know what that is or what that would look like but we can talk about some ideas uh if you guys the viewers out there have some uh some thoughts on how av and i can make a collaboration video that that's entertaining let me know and uh and then we'll see if we can make it happen so anyway thanks so much for sending this and uh um much appreciated so we'll figure out how to use it [Music] you
