I think the mix of vertical and horizontal siding actually looks very artistic.

That picture of three generations at the end of your vids tugs at the heart every time! I can relate: my father, retired automotive mechanic of his business for 35 years, now 87; my older brother, automotive mechanic, took over the business and still going at 65; myself, industrial mechanic with 10 years left until retirement. Your vids are awesome, learn something every time I watch one!
I literally survive on these SNS’s every Saturday. Easily theeee most anticipated part of my week
I would highly recommend insulation on the ceiling. Otherwise, it will rain in there a few times per year when it's cooler outside and the humidity is up. I have a building just like this and came out one day to find my lathe and milling machine were soaking wet!

holy fuck brother every video you look healthier and healthier 💪💪👍👍
The horizontal siding looks great!
Those Align RC helicopter shafts are hardened steel. They need to be as the are the main rotor shaft. If you use soft steel, the bearings will wear into the shafts and cause control issues. Also if they are not case hardened they will eventually bend or warp due to flight loads or minor Mis-handing .

brian whittle drill rod should be fully hardened and tempered. It does not need case hardening as the carbon content is there in the metal already
It's good to see good things happening for good people. Oh, that shrimp looked goooood!
I have a Carolina Carport too, its 24 x 40. If you intend on using this for shop space, look into getting foam insulation sprayed, its a lifesaver. I found someone locally who sprayed foam 1.5" thick under the roof and on the walls. I temporarily installed a small 600 BTU window ac unit (I'm acquiring parts for a 2 ton system), guess what? That little boger keeps the shop cool if I don't open the doors too often. And that's in South Mississippi!
I think the horizontal siding looks good Adam, I wouldn't fret over a mistake being made, it's nice to have things different, you learn more from it.
Both the machining and the garage building were great entertainment and education. Thanks.
Might want to epoxy that new floor rather than seal it. Its the prefect time, while the building is empty.
Variety is the spice of life. Give the next shed a siding 45° to the right and then 45° to the left :) Thanks for another great SNS!
This is your signature intro music!!! DON'T CHANGE IT!!! I GET ALL WARM AND FUZZY WHEN I HEAR YOUR THEME MUSIC AND I'M ALMOST 74!!!

I'm just happy to see I'm not the only one with a parts washer and hand wash sink outdoors....
Awesome new building! It's amazing how you've developed your site through the years. So well planned and executed. Nice job Adam!
Horizontal looks good. Fits with the big door lines!!
Mr Booth, Thank you for making these videos. They make my day and I deeply appreciate your time and effort.

I saw that indicator and immediately bought one! Thanks Abom!
The garage looks just fine with the horizontal siding. 👍. And it’s the same size as my whole workshop and garage - and I run a large lathe, smaller mill and welding gear in there - as well as store one of my cars!
The shop is awesome and love all the equipment, support equipment and tooling. This is something I've wanted to do for years. Great video as akways. Thanks
Classic ToT shot with the beach bar tune whilst the guys assemble your new garage, ace
Great to see it done. The shrimp looked very good.
Very good of you to do small fast service jobs like this. Makes you a Great person
Having siding that doesn’t match exactly is just one of those things that happens. The new building looks great!
Awesome to have the extra building space!! Big congrats on all your shop progress!

Very nice. Align is a decent helicopter.... I'm a little surprised he didn't want to stay hollow shafted... Usually you want to avoid anything that adds weight to an aircraft.... but without knowing anything else, maybe he has plenty of power, and it doesn't matter.... Well done.
I’m pretty big into RC helicopters and drones and I’m surprised he wasn’t worried about the weight. I mean, I have a 8 rotor that can pick up about 65lbs and I’m still shaving off weight wherever possible. Good work!! Congrats on the new building. You’ll love it. I thought a 60x90 shop would be plenty big, a year later I added on lol.
Beautiful new barn! WOW!
Nice storage building... :-)
the new shed looks good, i'd double check the order to make sure it's you who was in the wrong. make 'em give a bit of a discount if it was their fault. not that it's a big deal.
Awesome work on the shaft. Also the new storage garage is very nice. The place is really shaping up.
Those guys sure work quickly, nice to see they were using Abom sized tools as well. For lighting, I think LED lighting would be good. It has plenty of light, but is very cheap to run.
Way to go with the garage/storage building. Looking cool!
Nice job on the drone shaft.
Congrats! Things are really shaping up.
That's a fine looking shed.
Nice job on the machining of the shaft Adam. Your property is looking great with the building upgrade!
A lot of good things are going your way Adam! I'm happy for you !
The garage looks handsome with the horizontal panels, better than vertical.
That shaft is for a collective pitch helicopter for anyone interested.. the ones they fly upside down and do crazy things with.
I wish I had these HSS turning tips back when I was first learning machining at my local tech college. Ahh, the good ol days.
I like the horizontal siding...good job!...👍🏻👍🏻
Nice job as usual Adam and I am excited for your new metal building....it looks great....Congrats!!!
Grats on the new building!
Adam, something about an Abom size garage just makes a Man have a better day thanks for sharing.!.!.!.
The cleaning of the concrete works very well. I have one of those buildings and I've had no troubles, it should do you a fine job!
Another great show. Progress looks good and feels good. Congrats on the new building.
I love your videos! I want to thank you for giving us your time. I know these videos you do take a lot of it.
Sooo, cool to see you making custom precision parts for another cool hobby I enjoy. As far as the shafts you usually machine this is very small, but for a RC helicopter the size of this shaft means its a large model, probably with a custom gas turbine power plant. Very interesting stuff, wish the owner could provide pics of the completed repair, that would be very interesting.
Nice garage dude. Now I want one.
Storage building looks great.
I’m curious why the customer didn’t opt for hollow rod for that power train shaft. It’s heavier and if it’s eccentrically located on the drone the gyro will have to be recalibrated and if there is a prop strike it will transfer more torque to the drive mechanism and probably damage it more. It’s more rotating mass, in other words.

Not a drone, but a medium sized RC helicopter. It'll be centrally located and the mass will only serve to stabilize. You're technically correct about the shaft transferring more energy due to its mass but typically this means stripped delrin gears...sort of a mechanical fuse in the event of a crash.

@@brendanredler3666 Interesting about the gear material. Good info.
Those steel buildings go up much faster than wood ! I used to fly helicopters and I was always bending the blades shafts 👍
Great video. Thanks ABOM!
Congratulations on your new building. Love your mill and lath work keep up the great videos.
Good luck on the new building. Hope you enjoy the height gauge, I know it's in a good home, now.
That is a great shop building, they did a very good , fast quality build IMHO. Your looking good Adam, hard work'n man!!
I Had one of those buildings put up a couple years ago. The two guys put it up in about 6 hrs. 12x20 fills up quick. I built a loft in mine for extra overhead storage
@Abom79

Lots of overhead in mine 👍🏻
Great job Adam. Thanks
FYI that's the main shaft for an Align 550 R/C Helicopter. The holes are for pins for the rotor head at one end and the main gear at the other, it does not matter if they line up top and bottom as you say but you should copy the piece exactly and you're holes are 90 degrees off, not that it matters. Being hollow is not so important because the shaft is at the center of gravity. Not being hollow would also allow for more engine power and aerobatic performance. Nice job on a massive lathe :)

a standard shaft costs about $26, how much did the one you made him cost all up roughly? I realize that custom parts will cost a lot more :)
Building looks nice with the horizontal metal siding. Glad to see you fulfilling your dreams Adam. Cheers from B.C.
I bought that exact same surface cleaner last year. That thing really works great
That building will be a great addition to the property. As I watched you explain how you will be moving everything from the little white wooden shed to the new building, it occurred to me that if you pour the part of the driveway that is between them, you will have a much easier time moving the contents. Cut a door in the back and use your pallet jack. Then tear down the old building and pour the rest of the concrete.
Very cool vid ! Those guys did a great job of getting that building up in 1 day.
Congratulations on the new shed, I know how much they mean to us... Enjoy.. 👍
Ah the joys of living in Florida. I lived there for three years and hated the moss/fungus/crud growth you had to deal with a couple of times per year.
That episode kicked butt Adam! Thanks brotha!

Opps on the stoop. Out Of The Woods had his steel building interior of roof closed cell foam sprayed. It really helped with ending dripping condensation, and insulation factor. That might be a cool addition to your new garage.
Things progressing well for you Adam. Keep up the good work, your content is always interesting. 🇬🇧
I don't know if we can get them this far south but Menard's has some awesome shelving and storage stuff for garages. Modular workbenches and cabinets and stuff. Might be worth taking a look.
"Everything is the same". Well, no. The new shaft has the lonely hole lined up with the far hole. The original has it lined up with the nearest hole. ;) Probably doesn't matter though.
Adam, I am jealous. My brother, who lives in Bonifay, asked me to machine him some prop hubs for his drone on my mini lathe (more of a micro lathe.) I see this video and I am reminded that I still haven’t got the job done. Dealing with a work holding issue and things get off kilter when I flip the part around. Jealous of how skilled you are. Next time I drive from Washington state to Carrabelle , I would love to stop by. if that’s ok?
Nice storage unit Adam. You could drop my whole shop in there 7 times. Thanks for sharing. regards from the UK
This is main rotor shaft for a T-REX helicopter. Nice to fly as well! Great job Adam. As usual!
Came to watch the shed build, and stayed for the shrimps
Power washer with the turbo tip makes an excellent weed wacker especially along a wire fence. Try it.
Nice work on the shaft. I'd like to have a building go up as quickly as yours did. It's so bright inside with the white material. I built my garage with stick lumber 31 years ago.
Nice building going up. I wish the sup on the job would require ear and eye protection for the young 'uns!
Got yourself a nice Abom shelter there Adam.
NICE building, you should connect the two with an enclosed breezeway or hallway of sorts. Then you wouldn't have to go outside in the weather to get something or put it away. Enjoy, you earned it!
New shop...I mean garage looks great!👍🏼
That's great work Adam!!
Congratulations Adam! Looks great! Just wish I had an accessible back yard
Awesome new building Love it
Maybe he didn't care about the hollow shaft. But i would have done it for him. I know that with Drones weight is everything. But i get that it is a rush job so i understand your choice. and it's great that someone like you are there to help when others cant or wont. That's why ur the man Abom. Thanks for a great episode. and congrats with the new garage. it's a ducey. 😊🤘

It's a 6# copter, and the through hole would make about a 4g difference. Too tiny to be a factor.
Very nice , thank you Adam.
That one is right in my wheelhouse, RC Helicopters. Great video Adam,
It’s really hard to get what you actually want. I think the shed came out great and I love your attitude on the problems. Isn’t it great to have a place to put your stuff ;)
Awesome building Adam! Your videos are my favorite. You're the man!
Nice work 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Always enjoy watching your videos Adam thank you from South Africa

Shaft is likely for a scale helicopter built around an aerobatic frame. Lots of new heli designs try to lower the head closer to the airframe for better maneuverability. For scale builds, the goal is realism and lots of custom parts have to be made. Real cool to see something from a familiar hobby show up on your channel :)

I was wondering why he wanted a longer main rotor shaft, but I haven't thought of a scale model since I'm basically only into 3D.

BINGO! I missed this comment when I was replying above. We said almost exactly the same thing.
Looks like dude has lost some weight. Been following for years man, lookin good. And the machine work is top notch as ALWAYS from this gentleman. Keep up the awesome videos man.
Noticed earlier, no gutters on the buildings? Maybe a little roof section between the building? Nice to store stuff that can be in open air!
I have a surface cleaner and it works great on any surface, wood, concrete, brick and asphalt. Works on walls too, gets a little heavy after awhile but it makes up for using a nozzle as far as time goes. Really good on wood fences even with a gap in the boards. Best way is to dampen the area and use some bleach on the surface letting it soak for a few minutes the us the surface cleaner. I use about 1 quart of bleach to 3 quarts water. A lot of mildew will be removed and make the surface look new even by just hosing it off and no pressure.
Now I gotta go get some shrimp. Thanks Adam!
i'm so sorry i dissed you for selling out. You have the need to make a living and you have the courage to show yourself as who you are! I have learned much about fundamental machining. I admire you my friend

Occasional sponsorships help me pay the bills and allow me to continue content creation. It’s easy to sit back and call people sell outs unknowing what it’s like walking in their shoes each day. I get up and work each day just like the next guy.
The garage is great. Nothing makes you work faster than having a camera watching you lol. Paint the floor Adam. Few good coats of epoxy light grey it will look hot.
Everything looks great Adam. All I can say is shrimp, shrimp, shrimp, shrimp. PRAWN! Cheers bro!
