Nice Plough Gauge find! Those can be pretty expensive (~$400). Looks like a Vers Blanchard. You can still buy the knife that fits it from them, they still make them, for about $50.

I just came in from my workshop after spending time yesterday and today rebuilding old and building new storage space. I was at wits end, worn out and at a dead end on what I should do next, a good case of builder’s block. I really enjoy using old systems and refurbishing what is needed. Decided to watch this video and It inspired me and I figured it out! Three thumbs up👍👍👍! THANKS

I can't count the amount of times I've bought a tool thinking I needed it specifically for something and then realizing it won't work for said thing and just being like "Well, im glad I have it anyways"🤣

That momemt when Adam is mid sentance and then reaches into his memory warehouse and says "oh, I have the perfect thing for that" is just so relatable.

I enjoyed this video. I am a flea market fan. I am also a Jacobs chuck junkie. I strongly urge you to check Evolvent Design KZread videos on Jacobs chuck cleaning and repair. Andrew has a machine business in Ventura. He offers service tings for a number of different Jacobs chucks and also dimensioned drawings for making your own. The service ring is key to disassembly of a Jacobs chuck and reassembly. If done correctly the refurbished chuck will be smooth as silk opening and closing with no grinding noise. I sure do hope you will do more videos featuring the Jacobs chuck.

@@1pcfred i have fixed a few that were taken apart with a hammer. Not the best idea, especially if they are « crunchy » like the one Adam had in the video. Jacobs used to make a set of service rings as part of their master service kit. Much cleaner way to disassemble a precision piece of equipment. Really recommend watching the Evolvent Design videos. Especially Germaine for a shop like Adam’s with a press and a lathe. $5.00 will get you a. Measured drawing to turn your own ring or about $40.00 will get you a CNC ring that fits exactly. Quick easy trip to the press and Bob’s your uncle. Save the hammer for micrometer repair and adjustment. LOL

@@robinhoff4598 not everyone is a qualified swing press operator. Let's just say there can often be some finesse involved. You have to know how to tappy, tap, tap.

Adam, I highly recommend that you press off the outer sleeve of the chuck and clean / lubricate the jaws and split ring inside. From the sound of the chuck as you spin it it sounds as though whatever grease was inside was dissolved with the rust remover. The WD-40 probably washed the rest out. With no lube the jaws will bind unevenly and they will never tighten properly. Also, the chuck will absolutely wear out faster. Properly lubed, the chuck should be nearly silent when spun. Rebuilding Jacobs chucks is kinda my thing and it’s pretty easy once you do your first one. Just remember the spilt rings are a matched set and the jaws have to be re-assembled in the exact same position from which they came out.

You do one of the best British accent impressions I've heard from an American and I'm a Brit myself. You could probably pass as a Brit on the streets of London with it, know wot I mean geeza 🤣 👍👍🇬🇧

Adam Savage gah you made me jealous! Plough gauges are fairly rare in the U.S. for some reason. Also yes plough gauges have specially built blades, which usually feature a pair of hooks which fit over pins inside of the gauge assembly. Blanchard still makes them I beleive

I was stationed at Alameda NAS from 1970-1971 and 1972-1974. I loved going to the end of one of the piers at night and looking at San Francisco.

Dammit! I thought I had a massive chuck for my lathe. Now I have chuck envy.

You might be well served by a collet chuck for that tailstock, you can often get them up to pretty big sizes and they work better than the jacobs chucks for stuff like that annular cutter

@espalier

I was trying to formulate that polite phrasing, and I failed. I second the collet concept.

About a week ago I was walking my dog and found a yard or leather on the side of the road. I was folding it up to make it easy to carry and noticed it had a cattle brand on it. It is now my favorite piece of leather and I will have to make something special out of it.

that cheap flea market chuck is going to get expensive when he still needs the next size up AND something to fit in the 1" 🤣🤣🤣

I want to follow Adam around on his junkets to flea markets

I really like the Ifixit "manta" kits. I use one at work (IT) and I bought a second for home for firearms. Great toolkit - especially for the money.

That is called a Drift Key, the tool that is wedge shaped.

My father and his father both worked for Bell Systems (C&P, Verizon) each for over 30 years. What a lovely find of a box! I always find it nostalgic to see Bell Systems written on anything.

Making a chuck key is not trivial. Well it is if you have the tooling. They're probably drop forged though.

Best in-vid ad ever

Americans have lovely vintage toolboxes, we don’t quite have the same tradition over here in Europe.

Awesome Video. Feels like we are in the cave with you. Thank You Adam!

The thing I love most about these videos is, with Adam being so scatter brained and occasionally distracted or going off on a tangent, coupled with the consistent lighting in the shop, when he walks out of shot and then back, we have no idea if it's real time or he's away for an hour 🤣

This is exactly the way I do my purchases as well. I buy something because it will be perfect for that one thing that I have... and then it turns out they don''t fit and with just a minimal checking I would have figured that out before buying.

How in the heck did this become one of my favorite shop/machine tools channel?!?!

Adam I am a saddler, have many plough gages, french designs are some of the best, yes, you need the proper knife blade, big chunky handle, blade with cut out groove.

I love it when you go full blown Ninja carpenter with wood glue and brads flying.

Bearings are smooth as now 👍

I just bought a small Sherline lathe and was wondering how to store my QCTP tool holders. You just gave me an idea. A wooden display box, that can be raised at an angle for easy access. Tnx!

Hey Adam! Saw you struggling with the glued holder. Just so you know, wood glue dissolves in acetone; clue’s in the name: Poly Vinyl Acetate (PVA). You want to apply it with a needle and a syringe. Found that out building myself a window seat/locker/media center out of an old table during lockdown 😉

I had one of those Bell boxes. My father had been a lineman. It got stolen about twenty years ago. Thanks for letting me know that there are more out there. Does anyone make that type of box anymore? It seems that fiber board might be more sustainable than plastic and fiberglass. And, by the way, I like how you store the chuck keys in the chucks.

Adam be careful using the table saw top as a glue-up surface. I had a kick-back hit a small spot of glue that I missed, flipping the board and sending my hand into the blade. I cut off a finger... it was successfully re-attached, but learn from my mistake. Either don't use the table saw for glue up, or cover it with butcher / craft paper first.

I freaking love you, dude.

I love looking for and finding old tools in places like flea markets. In your video you were thinking about replacing the Morse-Taper adapter. It appeared to be quite different. In particular it did not have the flat tab at the tip. I think you'll find that the tailstock has a slot that that flat tab fits into. This is to prevent the device from spinning. The taper itself is for centering and preventing lateral movement. On your strap cutter that you bought, you pointed out 2 threaded screws that drove the clamps on the tool. You said you thought they were missing the little barbell rods that would help tighten the clamps. I had a thought.... Since this tool is manipulated to slide along and cut through a piece of leather, I think the little barbell rods would constantly be hooking on things and generally getting in the way. I have seen threaded clamp screws with the hole in the ball or cylinder at the and, where you used a hooked pin wrench to fully tighten the screw. The pin wrench is then removed and set aside so there is nothing dangling to catch on things. Keep up the good work.

The turning crank whose name you struggled with is called a tommy bar in the UK. Any other names anybody?

05:00 - You have the lathe, the mill and the skill to turn it down to one inch. I suppose it could be done?

Do any of your props ever randomly scare you when you aren't paying attention? Boom giant spider

I hope the vibration of the lathe does not move the new parts storage assembly. It doesn't look like it was secured down. I guess Adam will find out.

25:16 We see Savage Cave Adam.

Adam! You have a lathe. Turn down that 1.25" arbor on the annular cutter to 1". Happy happy!

more swap meet find videos! I started collecting tools from the swap meet partly because of your videos.

Thanks.

Well who hasn’t done that. Bought something that wasn’t quite right but just added it to the collection.

Every place has a thing and everything has a place.

You could use another scroll chuck attached to the tail stock to hold the 1 1/4 shaft of the cutter.

Hey Adam, just so you know, Morse taper drifts have an orientation in use.

I love that rust remover (purchased per Adam's recommendation), but what type(s) of oil do you use to protect the metal once you remove the rust?

I thought I was doing good finding old Osborne type belt cutters. The wood handle ones . Couldnt never even think of a French plow gage. I thought you might put a turn table on the headstock to accommodate all the tools you had on it..

Hi Adam. It's called a 4-3 reduction... From big to small number. ..also, a new doesn't cost a thing. So treat it with a new instead ☺️👍

IFIXIT tools are pretty good, good value and some very nifty micro bits for weird computer stuff.

Fun fact: jacobs chucks are now made overseas. Find the oldies like Adam does

8:46 Are you sure they're missing a crank? If you put a sliding handle in there, it might get in the way when cutting. It might have been made to use a separate key to adjust it.

I initially assumed that you bought whatever was in the case, because of the case itself. I share your love of containers.
