I have no problem with that, I love a cold beer and good shop talk.

Is this 3 years of SNS? 52 weeks x 3 years = 156. Love your channel. Learning so much and entertained at the same time.

Another week, two great videos. Thank you ABOM79!

Please carry on what you are doing Adam, I enjoy your company and look forward to Saturday nights...anything midweek is a bonus and I thank you for taking the time to edit and post.

Hi Adam, If your going to save broken bolts, you may as well start with a 5gal. bucket. After you fill it the first time, take a picture and save that in a photo album. I see a bookshelf in your future. LoL. Thanks for the great videos

another great SNS Adam , on to part 2 man ! We are enjoying .. Thumbs up..

Glad to help, Adam! I think that half the fun of machining is the AMAZING gear I have been able to gather and put into big toolboxes! :)

Adam you are like a surgeon taking those broken bolts out.

Hi. I have nver commented on your videos before but I would like to say thanks for taking the time out of making parts which are most likely flat rate to share your knowledge with us.

Christopher Columbus Booth, hmm, sounds good to me. Glad you enjoy the videos because I sure do. Greg

Ha ha on saving all the extracted broken bolts! Imagine what those will bring on eBay in twenty years! Great work and I enjoyed watching.

isn't it Amazing the connections we discover?? I think that's awesome he has a lathe that used to belong to your Family. As for your KZread popularity I attribute that to several factors. 1 you have a great personality. You tend to positive and Enthusiastic about everything even when it doesn't go right. 2. you have great patience in helping all of us understand what it is you are doing and how things work. 3. all these things combined create an energy that you spread to all of us. The simple little jokes like the no Bozo signs and some of the history of the shop talking about your dad and grandad. It's the little things like that which creates a bind with all your viewers. And we thank you for all of it

Another great video. I don't comment often. But I just had to say, Drill Co makes great drills AND taps. I think they are right up there with UB, OSG, and Dormer hand taps.

Very good! Thanks for showing both an 'easy out' and a left hand drill bit to reve that bolt. I need to buy one of those Drill Co bit sets.

Cool idea to start a collection of extracted bolts👍

Another great video Adam! I used to live in Florida , 7 years ago or so , bout an hour and a half to 2 hours south of Jacksonville!👍 We had to move up north due to work but I'd rather be down there, believe me!! I'm pretty new to your channel, but it is fast becoming one of my favorites !!👍 I've always had an interest in machining , and the way you explain things , makes me want to learn all I can about it!!

Hey man, I am up in Florence, AL. So cool to see someone big in the industry that is pretty local! Awesome work man!

Boy Adam, as a newbie KZread contributor, I can feel for your having to redo your intro. I had not realized how much time and effort is required to shoot and edit videos! Thanks for all your time and effort in providing interesting content. Always look forward to weekly SNS.

Good old Carlyle shipping compressors with whatever bolt they can find. I received one. The bolt was so long they used a 3/8" nut as a spacer to hold the shipping flange on.

Another good SNS. Nice job drilling the bolts, its not easy to do free hand.

great watch adam as usual thanks for sharing keep up the good work

You really need to do a video on how NOT to keep breaking off bolts...

@Patriot1776

Agreed. The time wasted by breaking bolts makes everybody's job miserable, and then making the machinist's job harder by trying to use Easy-Outs in an ill-advised way only means you're cooking a turd sandwich to be eaten by both you and the machinist undoing your carnage. Tips and instruction on avoiding them to begin with, can't ever be enough of.

Exactly...Most people skip the lesson on the proper use of leverage and torque and go straight to "If tight is good, over-tight must be great"...Abomb would be a good example of when not to use 100% of your muscle power when tightening (and loosening) a fastener.

@Patriot1776

Part 2 of this SNS, Abom gives a perfect example of preventing carnage while test fitting threads he just turned, in that he had a hydraulic end-cap bind up on him during a test-fit, and instead of forcing it the rest of the way when it binds up, he unscrewed the cap and checked the threads on both the cap he's test-fitting and the threads he just turned, preventing the cap from galling and likely now being stuck on, and boogering up the threads he'd just cut and was almost finished with.

Please go to the Flora Bama! Plenty of fond memories of that place from when I was a young E-3.

Usually when I tell someone about using a left hand drill bit they look at me like I have 2 heads

Good to see you going places... ;)

Yay! SNS!

That compressor looks like a Carrier HVAC comp. about a 5 ton... the bolts are not designed to install, they are designed to hold the cover for shipping. One of the first things I ever broke when I was a kid learning HVAC trade with my Dad.

Nice job Adam, you saved that $6000 compressor.

Abom79 yup I've bought and replaced many of those semi hermetic compressors. Here in Kauai Hawaii we've got to fly them in and a broken bolt like that could spell disaster! We met at the summer bash two years ago and I gave you a hat from my base. Keep up the great videos! Aloha, Jon

I'm not right familiar with that particular compressor but there may be a coolant line welded to another flange that would be bolted up there on install. usually there is a water cavity up around the motor and the heads as modern freon runs some pretty high temp/pressures.

Man you have come down with whitham's disease. lol Great content as usual. You could call the touring playlist " Walkabout"

Always interesting.

Bruce would be proud

18:00 Looks like they listened to you when you said about not having somewhere to put your air hose.

I would love to see your process for verifying your cylinder square. I think the only way I could do it would be to put the shaft in the 4jaw chuck on the lathe with some soft jaw grips then indicate it till it was showing 0 run out at various locations on the shaft then after it was dialed in indicate the face/base for runout. It would be time consuming to get dialed in but it is all I have to work with. Would be important to not go crazy on jaw tension so as not to distort the cylinder square but since there would be no cutting forces i think it would be fine.

+coyzee1 It doesn't exist anymore. Those old buildings are long gone.

That's a Carlyle 06e or 06d compressor. They don't come from the factory with over length bolts...actually just the opposite. They don't want you to use the shipping flange bolts for the installation so they give you short bolts. This compressor was probably rebuilt locally and the person that closed it up before painting it either screwed up or they had a new guy doing the close out. I've replaced hundreds of those in all kinds of situations in the last 45 years. Carlyle is/was a division of Carrier Corp. it was a little startling when I saw it in your video....you don't usually see those in your situation except for flood coolant chillers.

@Abom79: While I don't mind road trip clips et al., I really joined your fine channel because of your approach to machining. Please keep that part a major in your channel. P.S.: One time or the other I find, that the channels I once had subscribed to because of their unique approach "advanced" from their original great features to something completely different and "common" (analogous to machining --> road tripping, but in other areas) - always was sad about that.

when you put on the vertical head for the K and T how well does it retain zero? how do you tram it back up?

carrier comressors use different length bolts blank plates and service valves

I have that same set of irwins. Works about 50% of the time. Would probably have a higher success rate if I had all the proper drill sizes for each of the EZ outs, but I don't so yeah, more of mine are broke than yours, lol
