I’m only five minutes through and having trouble concentrating Adam. I have to ask if you heated a needle or a drillbit to try to save that finger nail? 😂 💅🏻 🩸
(Not sure if that was a “busted myth” by the way)
-your friend from the “freight trucks versus Ferrari“ MythBusters episode .(first episode attempt)
WTF did you do to your left middle finger nail?
As a 31 year old professional toolmaker, rare I know, you are completely correct.
Adam what about a guide for using dies
If the 3 first taps have identical barrel diameter, why did you drill 3 identical bores for each of them instead of 1 bore that will serve all the 3 different taps? After all, you will never use these 3 taps concurrently. Also, think of the stress you will experience, discovering that by absent mindedness, because the bores are identical, you used a bore designated for different tap. You won't be ever able to decide if it was a mistake. That's sucks big time!
Super tutorial! Thank you!
Pfft I'm an electrician I just buy a 6-1. Hole stripped? Tap a new one. Fucked up the tap? Make it bigger. Broke the device? Found out how to make it, "look," not broke.
eeeeeeeeeee…. the driving finger on Adams left hand looks like it's about ready to shed that creepy nail. SO i would suggest a band aide to cover it up so when the camera zooms in on it some people with a strong aversion to finger injuries don't get too creeped out to finish the video….
💡When I have holes to drill that need to be precisely located on a larger quantity run, I'll 3D print a drill guide. I use stacked ¼-20 grade 8 nuts pressed into the appropriately shaped 7/16 hole. The inexpensive nuts aren't affected by the drill bit. Afterwards each hole can be opened up with larger drills.
"Tink", the sound you never want to hear.
Adam, you're old enough to know you shouldn't paint your fingernail with a hammer.
Broken tap: Weld over the hole. Grind/sand and forget about said hole. What hole?? You know they put in extras just for fun…
woulda been great if he pinched that black shit off his finger with those calipers.
how did you mash your finger?
Adam said Atom. Ha
Moly Dee is what I use.
Adam is blind because of the insufficient, Somali tech level of lighting in his dungeon. Zero connection with the camera's inability to focus at times, I'm sure.
"blind" because you can't see through it … would be my guess
Flame polishing? Wow! Ok…now that is something I never knew. TY Adam. I love tapping too….even into hard wood for some projects. I also used to make models and often used the tiny ‘ba’ sized taps and dies (approx 3/32 to 7/32 in American). Back in my school days…I made a small tap wrench from mild steel, very similar to that Starret one, for my metalwork class project…still have it today. 13:45 Ah, the quintessential “Hitch-hikers” quote…How often we bring that one out! lol. Tapping method..yes, I too was taught screw in half a turn, back out a quarter turn, rinse and repeat until the hole is fully tapped…unless it gets tight, then much smaller twists….and I have sheared a couple of taps back in the day.
