Old School Machine Shop Skills
Adam has 'em.
I highly recommend watching a few, these are vital skills and will very valuable to have, especially those you'd find in a general purpose, non-computerized, non-production shop like he has.

Except as to the rule of appointment, the United States have an indefinite discretion to make requisitions for men and money; but they have no authority to raise either by regulations extending to the individual citizens of America.
I learned to work machine tools without digital aids... Thanks for the links, that's going to be nice and relaxing to watch.

Been watching Abom for a few years now.
Oh cool, yeah so have I, he's on a list of "regulars" I check at least once a week.Originally Posted by tod evans
Loved watching the setup and working the shapers he got.
Those are damn capable tools that became "obsolete" for no good reason.

Pretty cool skills.

I can run his machines but put me in front of a CNC machine and I'm lost...
Something tells me that knowledge of "the old ways" is good to have and pass on.
Same here. I took formal training decades ago on the very first gen CNC and comp production machines using punch cards and tapes.
That's of course long long gone...but doing it by hand still survives and even thrives.
You'd enjoy the wooden boat building that still goes on out here.

I'm building a mahogany canoe right now, glassed the outside before it got cold, waiting to do the inside when it stays over 70...
Stained to resemble the old Chriscraft mahogany boats, without gunnels, seats and decks the hull weighs about 55# for a 17' x 37".
If it doesn't sell I'll fish out of it.
I took autocad 2000 in HS, thats as far as i got with machine shop. Its really wild watching these machines still being used.
