get that cranked up and a bonus cut and the chips would be flying of like a catapult you wouldn't be stood in front of it
my brother has 2 of them. both decent sizes and in good nick@brightspark Yeah, I blame abom, it's become the new sexy thing to have, I'd like one, got no real use for one but that's never stopped me.
Keep looking but prices are not what they used to be
When I was at college many years ago, the lecturer warned us never to stand in front of a shaper. He quoted the case of an inexperienced guy who had set the table too high on a very large machine with the motor running and the clutch not engaged. He engaged the clutch very quickly whilst standing in front of it and the ram shot forward, hit the work and sheared its drive allowing it to shoot out of the guide and hit him in the chest. Whether there was some embellishment to this story to frighten us into not standing in front of one is another matter but has stuck with me even when using my little shaper.get that cranked up and a bonus cut and the chips would be flying of like a catapult you wouldn't be stood in front of it

I think he’s a silly boy. His channel got popular as he was a working man making videos that were of interest in a mid sized machine shop. People donated as a thank you.Was that before of after he sold out and became a massive shill?

He’s let the cat out the bag that he’s making enough patron money to get loads of work done at his house , buy a big caravan and go touring .
In return his loyal subs get home shop videos.
AvE said he’d never be stupid enough to give up his career for YouTube as it won’t be forever.
Abomb is deluded enough to think he’s a celebrity now
I don't watch abom anymore because of it, was far better when he had jobs from motion included and less blatant product placement. I'm not particularly interested in his holidays or his "secret" gastric
AvE, well he made enough from his patrons to buy a nice HAAS in what appears to be a large workshop under the veil of "it's for the people". Havnt seen many things made for the people and the good content has dried up somewhat.
I shouldn't moan, I don't really contribute, I've bought a few stickers. Always wanted a ToT t-shirt bit I can't pay £30+ for a t-shirt when fruit of the loom will give me 9 for that price.
American chopper, what a hokey show. No biker folk I've ever known would broadcast their private life to the public. I no longer watch several of the machinist channels for the same reason as others here, but haven't missed a doubleboost video since I was told about him a few years ago. I like his style and honest down to earth content, its also how I found out about this forum.I have to agree I watched Abom when the work was honest but now it’s a bit American chopper for my liking.

Works for me. I remember my Dad telling me when I was young, " You may do many good things in life which you will not be acknowledged for, but you do one bad thing, and it may follow you forever. "Honestly is the best policy.
