On today's episode, we're gonna talk about our adventures here at IMTS and all the wonderful people that we've met, the things we've seen, and just how wonderful this event has been for us and practical machines.
00:00:40.159 --> 00:00:44.399
So, first of all, we're gonna hit uh we're gonna do some trivia throughout the show.
00:00:44.560 --> 00:00:46.799

So appreciate you guys joining us uh for like our first ever live in-person show.
00:02:00.879 --> 00:02:06.159
Um, I'm gonna open this up by saying it's it's been a wonderful experience here at IMTS.
00:02:06.319 --> 00:02:08.479
Um, gotten to meet a lot of great people.
00:02:08.639 --> 00:02:18.400
There's been so many people that have given us support, uh, you know, enjoyed us being here, got to meet us, shake our hand, uh, ask us for advice.
00:02:18.800 --> 00:02:21.520
That is the most valuable thing to me.
00:02:21.680 --> 00:02:30.879
All the people that have come here and expressed their their gratitude and and become more than just somebody online, somebody commenting, somebody messaging.
00:02:31.120 --> 00:02:36.080
Um, to meet a lot of people that I've always considered friends, but now they're here in person.
00:02:36.719 --> 00:02:38.159
It's it's amazing.
00:02:38.319 --> 00:02:40.960
Now, with you guys, Cam, what what about you?
00:02:41.039 --> 00:02:42.560
What have we enjoyed?
00:02:42.879 --> 00:02:43.840
Uh same thing.
00:02:44.159 --> 00:02:50.639
Actually, about people that you've been talking to online forever, or people you don't know coming up to us and calling us about like the podcast.
00:02:51.360 --> 00:02:53.199
Just yeah, Papa's on the shan.
00:02:53.439 --> 00:02:54.639
Yeah, that's been pretty great.
00:02:54.960 --> 00:02:56.080
It's amazing, Brad.
00:02:56.319 --> 00:03:02.719
Yeah, same thing, meeting people that have been listening to podcasts, hearing stories, on the support from everybody here.
00:03:03.520 --> 00:03:04.000
Yeah.
00:03:04.319 --> 00:03:12.879
I mean, I have to say, it really puts it in perspective how much of an effect we've had in the two years that we've been doing the show.
00:03:13.120 --> 00:03:18.719
Uh now we've got all these people that have come up to us and and been grateful.
00:03:18.800 --> 00:03:20.879
And like, you know, we do it for fun.
00:03:21.039 --> 00:03:25.520
We started doing it as a fun thing to you know help with practical machinists.
00:03:25.680 --> 00:03:27.759
And you know, now look at us.
00:03:27.840 --> 00:03:32.639
We're up here on stage talking to all these wonderful people and and everyone passing by.
00:03:32.960 --> 00:03:36.879
Uh, it's it's really something, and I I I really appreciate it.
00:03:37.599 --> 00:03:44.879
Um, obviously, part of what we're going to talk about is how uh this show is first of all incredible.
00:03:45.039 --> 00:04:01.840
Uh, people aside, just the atmosphere of everything, you know, the the sheer volume of people that are all here for the same purpose, and that is to further their career, learn the trade, find a solution to a problem that they're looking for.
00:04:02.080 --> 00:04:09.439
Um it's it it gives me like a feeling of hey, I'm not just in a little bubble out in the middle of nowhere, Tennessee, right?
00:04:10.000 --> 00:04:12.000
We're all we're all in this together.
00:04:12.159 --> 00:04:18.079
Um so one of the things we'll hit on is just some of the favorite things we've seen here show.
00:04:18.319 --> 00:04:24.000
You know, to me, I'm a huge fan of the uh the tooling, the work holding side of things.
00:04:24.160 --> 00:04:33.600
Um, I've been to a lot of booths here, you know, we've got Heimer right next to us, and you know, they have a lot of stuff over there that I can't even envision what it's for.
00:04:35.040 --> 00:04:38.240
You know, you they don't have stuff to repair tractor parts with.
00:04:38.959 --> 00:04:43.279
So I'm confused as to what the utility is, but I'm just not that guy.
00:04:43.439 --> 00:04:48.959
Yeah, you guys that are in multi-multi-million dollar shops, you know all about it.
00:04:49.120 --> 00:04:54.000
Um seeing the potential of what a place can be is just phenomenal.
00:04:54.240 --> 00:05:00.720
I got to spend a little bit of time this morning over at the machine hall, uh, which is something else.
00:05:00.959 --> 00:05:09.040
Uh to me, that's I go here to find solutions and ideas and concepts that maybe I can implement in my own shop.
00:05:09.360 --> 00:05:25.360
Uh I go to the machine hall when I want to you know stretch my jaw out and like lay it on the floor and walk around uh just in pure awe of the the money and the just incredible technology that's here at this show.
00:05:26.319 --> 00:05:28.160
You guys it's pretty mind-blowing.
00:05:28.240 --> 00:05:36.240
I mean, think about the millions of dollars and put in their ear, and how many billions of dollars in there, or how many billions, billions of dollars in took even set up these proofs.
00:05:36.399 --> 00:05:38.720
I mean, it's insanely expensive to set these things out.
00:05:38.879 --> 00:05:42.720
And I don't know, I didn't care about like all sales guys snipping bread and dinner.
00:05:42.959 --> 00:05:45.680
How much money we're spending there, food and drinks and stuff.
00:05:45.839 --> 00:05:48.000
It's insane the amount of money spent this.
00:05:48.240 --> 00:05:50.399
Thank God for tax deductions, am I right?
00:05:50.959 --> 00:05:52.160
Yep, everything's around.
00:05:53.279 --> 00:05:53.600
Brad?
00:05:54.399 --> 00:05:56.879
I am walking around very much to see much.
00:05:57.040 --> 00:06:02.720
I've been here topping the people though and a couple booths, so I I gotta get up still today after this.
00:06:02.800 --> 00:06:05.120
I'm gonna go walk through the machine area and take a look.
00:06:05.199 --> 00:06:13.279
So I remember those two years ago walking through just seeing things that I've never seen and be using this for 22 years, still thinking, wow, there's something I haven't seen yet.
00:06:13.439 --> 00:06:14.720
Like that's pretty cool.
00:06:15.120 --> 00:06:16.560
Yeah, the big ass machines.
00:06:16.639 --> 00:06:18.240
It's like what what are them parts for?
00:06:18.399 --> 00:06:19.920
What do you need that big machine card?
00:06:20.319 --> 00:06:20.639
For real?
00:06:20.720 --> 00:06:23.759
Yeah, and I'm in the same zone as you up to spend most of the copy talking.
00:06:23.839 --> 00:06:27.199
People here and everything, do get some free time and go try to roll around.
00:06:27.279 --> 00:06:33.279
I'll run to somebody and now, or I mean, a few times somebody's like, oh dude, good podcast gun.
00:06:33.519 --> 00:06:39.839
So like my three time they got no disposed, and then saw people on open air, and then of course yeah, sales has it already now.
00:06:39.920 --> 00:06:44.560
So a lot of those big friends, but I think you could walk around too and check out some stuff.
00:06:44.720 --> 00:06:48.959
But it it is kind of your first time GS is noise, and it's impressive.
00:06:49.120 --> 00:06:59.199
Yep, and the shop and all the factors there because all these machines with crazy machines that didn't know existed, you don't know what the purpose is for tooling you not didn't know existed or what it was for.
00:06:59.360 --> 00:07:01.759
A mil turn with an 80 and it's born mark.
00:07:01.839 --> 00:07:02.560
Yeah, real.
00:07:03.120 --> 00:07:04.160
Like I don't know.
00:07:04.800 --> 00:07:06.639
It's on like individual tool changer, yeah.
00:07:06.800 --> 00:07:08.959
Jargoning Born or crazy stuff.
00:07:09.120 --> 00:07:13.759
But once you come back that up the next time, TS and after that, it's a lot of the same stuff.
00:07:13.839 --> 00:07:15.839
Yep, it's still mind-blowing, it's impressive.
00:07:17.120 --> 00:07:22.959
But uh I don't had had a bit as much of a priority, yeah, except how many because of that.
00:07:24.399 --> 00:07:28.560
It's nice little put names to faces like instead of yeah, it's really funny.
00:07:28.879 --> 00:07:37.519
You start talking to somebody, they're kind of parking at you, yeah, faces on the internet, and start start balking, and you're trying to read their main bags, but like not with like your yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:07:37.680 --> 00:07:43.360
So sometimes I'm just like who I know we know we shut it, but who are you?
00:07:43.439 --> 00:07:43.839
Yep.
00:07:44.480 --> 00:07:44.879
Oh, yeah.
00:07:44.959 --> 00:07:46.079
What's your Instagram name?
00:07:46.160 --> 00:07:49.040
Uh but I don't need to know your asset bus, I didn't know your Instagram name, right?
00:07:49.439 --> 00:07:52.480
Or figure out how to talk in person, not through a keyboard, too.
00:07:52.879 --> 00:07:54.560
Yeah, it's also weird.
00:07:55.199 --> 00:07:57.360
Can we like shout out to Ian?
00:07:57.759 --> 00:07:59.839
Because he's got it worse than all of us.
00:08:00.000 --> 00:08:04.319
Yeah, he's been all over the place filming, meeting with people.
00:08:04.480 --> 00:08:11.920
I saw him at a booth earlier, he saw the live stream, and he had like three or four people lined up waiting for him to get done.
00:08:12.160 --> 00:08:12.879
He's a banger.
00:08:13.199 --> 00:08:14.079
So that's right.
00:08:14.560 --> 00:08:15.519
Everybody means the community.
00:08:15.759 --> 00:08:17.839
Yeah, they gotta meet the tall boy, man.
00:08:18.000 --> 00:08:19.920
So the tall boy that's a good aim.
00:08:21.920 --> 00:08:24.800
Although he looks small over there at the Hymer booth, I will say.
00:08:24.879 --> 00:08:28.959
They I don't know what they're feeding them boys, but they're feeding them something tall.
00:08:29.120 --> 00:08:29.439
Some tall.
00:08:30.560 --> 00:08:32.240
I didn't plan this right, boy, boys.
00:08:32.320 --> 00:08:33.279
I'm I'm getting a little hot.
00:08:38.159 --> 00:08:39.039
Take it off.
00:08:43.120 --> 00:08:48.879
Oh, yeah.
00:08:54.559 --> 00:08:56.240
Alright, that's enough of that.
00:08:58.879 --> 00:08:59.679
You gotta be there now, man.
00:09:00.000 --> 00:09:00.799
Come into the bed.
00:09:01.200 --> 00:09:03.039
It's a whole it's a whole thing.
00:09:04.639 --> 00:09:06.159
So when do you get to have that brand?
00:09:07.120 --> 00:09:13.759
Oh, you know, about uh uh three weeks ago, you know, I went down to the bar and that's more Irish than anything.
00:09:13.919 --> 00:09:18.480
Sorry, but figured you could get a kick out of it, but you need to order your Minnesota accent.
00:09:18.799 --> 00:09:19.039
I do.
00:09:19.120 --> 00:09:20.480
It's more more Canadian.
00:09:21.440 --> 00:09:21.600
Yeah.
00:09:21.759 --> 00:09:22.879
I don't know the difference.
00:09:23.039 --> 00:09:26.240
Uh Minnesota's one or Canadian, they probably sound the same.
00:09:26.799 --> 00:09:27.120
Fair.
00:09:27.279 --> 00:09:27.840
I'll bet you.
00:09:28.000 --> 00:09:30.240
Yeah, I am pretty I am president of Orchidan.
00:09:30.639 --> 00:09:31.600
Yeah somehow.
00:09:32.399 --> 00:09:33.440
Yeah, I don't know how that works.
00:09:36.799 --> 00:09:38.720
I guess the feeds the adjustable tattoos.
00:09:40.159 --> 00:09:41.759
And don't be that.
00:09:42.000 --> 00:09:43.120
There's plenty of shop fancy.
00:09:43.200 --> 00:09:44.080
You can go get one in it.
00:09:44.240 --> 00:09:44.480
Yeah.
00:09:44.639 --> 00:09:45.279
I'll pay for it.
00:09:45.440 --> 00:09:47.200
You can use a guy to get our mural to do it.
00:09:47.519 --> 00:09:48.639
He's a tattoo artist.
00:09:49.360 --> 00:09:51.279
Okay, back on topic.
00:09:52.559 --> 00:09:55.440
The mural, you guys will see it on on YouTube.
00:09:55.759 --> 00:09:58.080
You know, the mural is incredible.
00:09:58.240 --> 00:10:05.279
The the artists that we have painting the mural around the back of the booth uh are just amazing people.
00:10:06.000 --> 00:10:08.480
And so we had a we had a session.
00:10:08.559 --> 00:10:13.200
We've been doing a ton of sessions here at this booth, uh, at the machinery stub.
00:10:13.600 --> 00:10:18.960
And I was amazed at the fact that uh they they were listening.
00:10:19.200 --> 00:10:25.120
And you know, they're painters, they're artists, they're not manufacturers, manufacturers of art line, I suppose.
00:10:25.519 --> 00:10:29.519
And yet our sessions were very relevant to them.
00:10:30.159 --> 00:10:39.200
And they were they were back there thanking me and Beverly and everyone else that was you know with us on the panels because they relate to too.
00:10:39.679 --> 00:10:42.879
And just the ability for us to to sort of unite.
00:10:43.039 --> 00:10:44.480
Well, what's it say around the back?
00:10:44.559 --> 00:10:48.960
It's like united by uh passion for the trade or united by the trade.
00:10:50.399 --> 00:10:51.039
We are.
00:10:51.679 --> 00:10:55.759
We're all here for that purpose to help lift everybody up together.
00:10:56.080 --> 00:11:04.480
Well, some of the stuff we talked about too they're pretty universal, like analyzed every time you come manage and how you had dead-in shops.
00:11:04.639 --> 00:11:09.360
Actually, talking about dead-in shops, and you get a dead-end company anywhere.
00:11:11.840 --> 00:11:12.000
Yep.
00:11:12.960 --> 00:11:15.600
Yeah, I mean, it it can happen to anybody.
00:11:15.679 --> 00:11:24.639
I I've met I met a gentleman, uh, and forgive me, I can't remember his name, but he was um I don't know how you stamp this.
00:11:25.360 --> 00:11:27.679
I this this is you better break it in.
00:11:27.759 --> 00:11:28.559
You gotta get used to it.
00:11:28.720 --> 00:11:30.080
I guess it is a marble hat.
00:11:30.399 --> 00:11:32.399
I like how things uh covering ears.
00:11:35.759 --> 00:11:38.000
Yeah, like Dumbo.
00:11:38.879 --> 00:11:40.080
Yeah, honestly, that's fair.
00:11:40.240 --> 00:11:42.080
Now cover your ears back up.
00:11:43.759 --> 00:11:47.519
Pat has a lot of firsts coming down here wearing a hat, he's never woven before.
00:11:47.679 --> 00:11:48.080
Yeah.
00:11:48.320 --> 00:11:50.879
Oh first time on an elevator.
00:11:51.679 --> 00:11:53.440
No, I'm not that yeah.
00:11:53.600 --> 00:11:58.879
First time in an Uber, first time eating at a like, I don't know, 15-star restaurant.
00:11:58.960 --> 00:12:02.480
We went to RPM last night, and that was amazing.
00:12:02.639 --> 00:12:03.840
Thank you, Beverly.
00:12:04.480 --> 00:12:10.559
Um, you know, just renting a car up here, just the whole adventure.
00:12:10.799 --> 00:12:13.039
First time at an airport for crying out loud.
00:12:13.759 --> 00:12:14.399
Didn't fly, though.
00:12:15.039 --> 00:12:15.600
Didn't fly.
00:12:15.679 --> 00:12:17.600
No, I just went to the airport for fun.
00:12:19.200 --> 00:12:21.279
I can feel my face getting red.
00:12:22.639 --> 00:12:26.960
Um but yeah, so it's it's been great.
00:12:27.120 --> 00:12:31.200
Um have you guys been to East or uh North Hall?
00:12:31.600 --> 00:12:36.559
Uh I've gone to all the halls, but a lot of it was just cruising right through.
00:12:36.720 --> 00:12:38.399
I don't really looking closely at things.
00:12:38.720 --> 00:12:38.960
Right?
00:12:39.200 --> 00:12:40.799
No, saying just cruising through.
00:12:41.440 --> 00:12:42.080
Me either.
00:12:42.399 --> 00:12:45.440
So I was I was looking at some CNN this morning.
00:12:45.679 --> 00:12:48.080
I woke up looking for like a shop for CNN.
00:12:48.240 --> 00:12:50.240
Not buying one yet, but the future would be here.
00:12:50.559 --> 00:13:01.440
And uh one that I found that was really cool, you know, it's got one with stylists where it's got a ball down and a ball in every access scene just kind of put a ball over your bar because the software works cool.
00:13:01.519 --> 00:13:03.360
He's got a stream out of here on CNN.
00:13:03.759 --> 00:13:06.799
You throw your part model in there and you need to start opening stuff.
00:13:07.039 --> 00:13:07.519
Inspected.
00:13:08.000 --> 00:13:09.200
You inspected parts?
00:13:09.360 --> 00:13:10.320
No, I don't do that.
00:13:10.480 --> 00:13:11.600
Nah, who goes there?
00:13:11.679 --> 00:13:14.960
I'll just I'm I'll just make it in there and look at parts and get react it instead.
00:13:15.120 --> 00:13:16.399
Oh yeah, yeah, that's right.
00:13:16.639 --> 00:13:17.440
True sore.
00:13:18.559 --> 00:13:20.080
RIP in peace.
00:13:20.320 --> 00:13:20.799
All right.
00:13:21.039 --> 00:13:25.360
Um, so before we get too much farther along, you all know how we love to ramble.
00:13:25.600 --> 00:13:26.960
Or I love to ramble.
00:13:27.200 --> 00:13:29.919
Uh Brad, you want to throw out a trivia question?
00:13:30.159 --> 00:13:30.639
Sure.
00:13:30.879 --> 00:13:36.240
Uh raise your hand and we will try to see you raising it first.
00:13:36.559 --> 00:13:37.120
Let's go.
00:13:37.600 --> 00:13:45.039
Oh where don't you what does T I R stand for when checking on that out?
00:13:46.159 --> 00:13:46.720
There you go.
00:13:46.879 --> 00:13:47.519
All right, nose.
00:13:47.840 --> 00:13:48.639
Back corner back there.
00:13:49.919 --> 00:13:50.559
Yeah.
00:13:51.440 --> 00:13:53.200
Big out the same carolina's me.
00:13:56.159 --> 00:13:57.279
That's correct.
00:13:57.759 --> 00:13:59.279
Wow, this is so much fun.
00:13:59.519 --> 00:14:01.600
Kind of jealous of the pretty cool ring.
00:14:02.399 --> 00:14:04.639
You made extras for all the crew, right?
00:14:05.039 --> 00:14:05.440
Sure.
00:14:06.240 --> 00:14:08.000
Did you work some graph machines once?
00:14:10.080 --> 00:14:11.679
Actually, it would be pretty cool.
00:14:12.639 --> 00:14:13.279
All right.
00:14:13.919 --> 00:14:19.840
So now that leads me to like, we're here mainly for a good time here at the machines hub, you know.
00:14:20.159 --> 00:14:23.840
But uh most everybody's here for business, right?
00:14:23.919 --> 00:14:26.799
We're here to look at equipment, tools, whatever.
00:14:27.120 --> 00:14:30.399
Um have you guys really looked at anything?
00:14:30.480 --> 00:14:32.639
You I mean, Cam, you just mentioned CMM.
00:14:32.799 --> 00:14:35.120
Have there been anything that caught your eye?
00:14:35.279 --> 00:14:40.720
Not just from a wow, that's cool, but like I I could use that.
00:14:41.279 --> 00:14:41.840
Yeah.
00:14:42.000 --> 00:14:44.960
Uh I thought it would be a cool advice over at SMW.
00:14:45.279 --> 00:14:51.519
It's a like an zero-point device, and you can do self-centering, of course.
00:14:51.759 --> 00:14:55.440
Apparently, for people enough to do optics as well, which is great.
00:14:55.679 --> 00:14:59.840
You can throw a center sec or center jaw in and do double station.
00:15:00.159 --> 00:15:05.279
And then you can also fix the jaw to backup ice and use it like a grip ice to use any one fixed.
00:15:05.600 --> 00:15:06.080
Oh wow.
00:15:06.240 --> 00:15:13.200
And then the uh the jaw subs a little trying triangular groupers at both end tens you can change it based on the material you're running.
00:15:13.279 --> 00:15:19.279
So if you're doing a lumin or uh plastic, it's got a little high fedge one, it just inner styles to eat materials.
00:15:19.759 --> 00:15:21.279
So that's really cool.
00:15:21.440 --> 00:15:22.960
Yeah, it's kind of long one.
00:15:23.039 --> 00:15:26.879
I've been shopping around for a while trying to find something that kind of checks all the boxes.
00:15:27.039 --> 00:15:31.679
I want to buy a device that can do dual stations and uh self-centering, or vice versa.
00:15:32.000 --> 00:15:34.240
Uh which is there's so many options.
00:15:34.480 --> 00:15:38.960
That's one of the cool things about coming to IMTS, you should walk around and actually check stuff out in person.
00:15:39.919 --> 00:15:45.759
Put your hands on it, look at it, compare it to the stuff, opt to the other stuff about it.
00:15:46.080 --> 00:15:51.120
Oh, and if you're doing uh dual station, you can have two different size pieces of stock.
00:15:52.320 --> 00:15:54.960
That's yeah, a one-inch piece and a four-inch piece.
00:15:55.279 --> 00:15:55.919
Very nice.
00:15:56.080 --> 00:16:01.919
So, in theory, you could even do op one and op two, not just two op ones or two op twos.
00:16:02.159 --> 00:16:03.120
Right there in my device.
00:16:03.440 --> 00:16:04.960
That's that is impressive.
00:16:05.120 --> 00:16:15.519
Like, I mean, self-centering devices are are actually getting to be like 10, 15-year-old technology, maybe 20-year-old in in that aspect, you know, like the fifth access platform.
00:16:15.840 --> 00:16:20.240
So, yeah, somebody's finally figuring out how to bridge all those gaps.
00:16:20.320 --> 00:16:22.720
Because let's face it, work holding is expensive nowadays.
00:16:22.879 --> 00:16:31.200
You know, it doesn't matter what you buy, you could buy a plain single station standard, you know, Kurt Vice or something like that, and spend$800,$900.
00:16:32.000 --> 00:16:39.919
Um, so you know, it's like may as well just find something that checks all the boxes at in that neighborhood.
00:16:40.320 --> 00:16:43.120
I mean, I wish we had started investigating a long time ago.
00:16:43.279 --> 00:16:46.240
So we bought Kurt Vice in the last five years.
00:16:46.879 --> 00:16:48.080
Yeah, we spent.
00:16:48.159 --> 00:16:50.399
I mean, yeah, you might spend about double curve bison.
00:16:50.559 --> 00:16:51.919
You can do so much more with one.
00:16:52.159 --> 00:16:53.919
One more self-setting devices.
00:16:54.240 --> 00:16:59.679
That's why when I went into Dirging Sign and stick with the curve ran, I did something that was really more universal knowing.
00:17:00.320 --> 00:17:04.160
Yeah, kind of what I was already doing in that hit shop shing in Joyo2.
00:17:04.480 --> 00:17:11.200
I I wouldn't mind getting a large sub-center device on that VH3 and just leaving my Y-axis centered all the time.
00:17:12.400 --> 00:17:12.880
Yeah.
00:17:13.039 --> 00:17:15.039
I mean, that would be really cool.
00:17:15.359 --> 00:17:27.279
That you know, the less you can have to do any kind of pickups or change anything at all, the better off you are, especially, you know, like you and I do so much piecework, you know, you know, low quantity stuff.
00:17:30.880 --> 00:17:34.400
Well, it's it's still piecework, it's just yeah, your piece work.
00:17:34.640 --> 00:17:38.240
But yeah, whenever you're doing that stuff, where it's one part to the next to the next.
00:17:38.400 --> 00:17:44.559
Yeah, you you get into zero point and you're not probing or bench finding how your paperwork also saves so much time.
00:17:44.720 --> 00:17:46.720
You'd be treated both in the program and running it.
00:17:46.880 --> 00:17:51.599
That's the best thing about muses is just never moving the learning system.
00:17:51.759 --> 00:17:52.480
It's always there.
00:17:52.559 --> 00:17:52.720
Yeah.
00:17:52.960 --> 00:17:54.960
You just put the right thing in, you know.
00:17:55.839 --> 00:17:57.039
That's a good point.
00:17:57.680 --> 00:18:02.400
I've learned um, and I learned a lot of this from you over the years.
00:18:02.640 --> 00:18:08.799
Um, you know, first shop I worked at, we had probes, but we could probe from our cam software.
00:18:08.960 --> 00:18:10.799
So that that's a pretty big limitation.
00:18:10.960 --> 00:18:11.279
Yeah.
00:18:11.440 --> 00:18:16.240
Uh we use them on the machine with you know the menus and stuff.
00:18:16.480 --> 00:18:22.079
Um and then went to the second shop I worked at where we could probe from Cam.
00:18:22.319 --> 00:18:23.599
Don't get excited.
00:18:23.839 --> 00:18:26.960
Um, and uh that was a huge step.
00:18:27.039 --> 00:18:32.559
So it's like just probe everything, just probe every single part that I do, no stops or nothing.
00:18:32.799 --> 00:18:40.400
And then now that I'm back to your machine, with which you know does not have a pro, Possman are working on that.
00:18:40.880 --> 00:18:49.920
Now it's like the the real brain, big brain move is figure out how to not pick anything up ever.
00:18:50.240 --> 00:18:51.440
Even if you have a pro.
00:18:51.599 --> 00:18:51.920
Yep.
00:18:52.079 --> 00:18:55.599
Figure out how to not pick anything up, just do it.
00:18:55.759 --> 00:18:57.920
I mean, that's like big brain stuff.
00:18:58.079 --> 00:18:58.319
Yeah.
00:18:59.440 --> 00:19:04.799
The most common way I think people do it is they get you know, they model the entire environment.
00:19:05.119 --> 00:19:06.240
And that's in the machine.
00:19:06.319 --> 00:19:08.640
They didn't mash what's actually on your scan software.
00:19:08.799 --> 00:19:11.680
You bend your zero points coming from a bowl of your vice tool.
00:19:12.480 --> 00:19:14.720
You can even use a corner of the shawl.
00:19:14.799 --> 00:19:15.599
I've done it like that.
00:19:15.759 --> 00:19:17.839
I do I do a bunch of parts like that actually.
00:19:18.000 --> 00:19:24.400
Um there's a company I'll make some big street for, and it's like you make it a whole bunch of different pieces, there's one fixture.
00:19:24.559 --> 00:19:28.000
And so I'll do zero point quote, quote.
00:19:28.400 --> 00:19:33.200
Basically just using the same work coordinate for everything for op one, the same word at two.
00:19:33.359 --> 00:19:37.839
So everything I make all in 30 40 pieces, all use the same keys coordinates.
00:19:37.920 --> 00:19:49.279
I'll make three three jaws on op one, and I have my marks there, and then just run everything and line everything up with that one corner, it all starts in the same place, like bottom back left corner, and then bottom back right corner for op two.
00:19:49.519 --> 00:19:49.759
Yep.
00:19:49.839 --> 00:19:55.119
So that's a little tricky to do to say save yourself time, even if that doesn't cost you anything.
00:19:55.200 --> 00:19:58.880
You know, right now that's how my vertical is set up.
00:19:58.960 --> 00:20:05.759
But when I built my subplate for my core vices, I built the base off machine zero gear opponent system.
00:20:05.839 --> 00:20:08.799
So now I know where each edge of them vices are.
00:20:08.960 --> 00:20:14.640
So if I instart on my series drift, I know that I know my X is here, my Y is here, no matter what.
00:20:14.720 --> 00:20:16.000
So I don't need to pick up the stock.
00:20:16.079 --> 00:20:25.599
And then if I go to opt two and I flip it over, I try to use the edge of the vice to line up X, but I know where my vice or my jaw is to use like type it in there all the time.
00:20:25.839 --> 00:20:38.000
Every now and then you get some weird shit where you got like something funny and you got data coming to what, but it saves a lot of time, like I said, being able to focus up and get another part in there, especially if it's low mix or low mix, high bump.
00:20:38.160 --> 00:20:38.400
Yeah, yeah.
00:20:38.559 --> 00:20:39.279
High mix, low bump.
00:20:39.440 --> 00:20:39.839
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:20:40.960 --> 00:20:48.240
The part that I'm trying to figure out, I think I've got an idea for it, but I would love to have just a tableful uh zero blood plates.
00:20:48.400 --> 00:20:50.480
Yeah, whatever it is you want, you just throw it on there.
00:20:50.559 --> 00:20:51.839
You have a bottom and can.
00:20:52.079 --> 00:20:52.319
Yeah.
00:20:52.559 --> 00:20:56.000
You just put the right thing in the right place and run, you'll figure out anything.
00:20:56.160 --> 00:21:00.000
But we do so many parts that require so high and smear fixturing.
00:21:00.160 --> 00:21:09.519
Yeah, I would need to have like a separate way of doing things where you can drop a fixture plate with a bush tap hold and on your zero y plates and nothing there.
00:21:10.079 --> 00:21:11.599
It can be done, anything can be done.
00:21:11.759 --> 00:21:12.079
Yeah.
00:21:12.400 --> 00:21:13.920
Just how deep's your pocket.
00:21:14.160 --> 00:21:16.480
Yeah, I mean, yeah.
00:21:16.720 --> 00:21:18.799
It ain't deep enough after walking around here.
00:21:19.759 --> 00:21:20.960
New kid, man.
00:21:21.359 --> 00:21:31.119
I mean, the tens of millions the guys spent at this show or more is other things.
00:21:31.599 --> 00:21:33.599
Yeah, it's just crazy.
00:21:34.079 --> 00:21:37.440
Do you see anything that you're inclined to buy?
00:21:41.519 --> 00:21:42.880
Not at the moment.
00:21:43.279 --> 00:21:45.119
I know that's like very boring.
00:21:45.759 --> 00:21:54.960
Uh but being in a weird spot, you know, my shop's just recently established, and I don't even know if I've explicitly stated on the show before.
00:21:55.119 --> 00:21:56.400
I'm full time now.
00:21:56.799 --> 00:21:58.799
I quit my job about four weeks ago.
00:21:59.039 --> 00:22:01.359
So How's it going?
00:22:01.599 --> 00:22:02.240
Awesome.
00:22:02.559 --> 00:22:06.720
And thanks to you guys and you know a lot of the our other friends out there.
00:22:06.880 --> 00:22:08.480
I've got a lot of work from them.
00:22:09.359 --> 00:22:14.319
I've got full confidence that it's going to be the second best thing ever did.
00:22:14.720 --> 00:22:18.319
So uh first was marrying my wife.
00:22:21.839 --> 00:22:23.440
Tranny points.
00:22:24.240 --> 00:22:27.519
Um, but no, it it's been it's been great.
00:22:27.680 --> 00:22:29.119
Uh the freedom.
00:22:29.519 --> 00:22:32.400
You don't know how much, man, I always envied you.
00:22:32.640 --> 00:22:36.240
Uh when we first started, you know, chatting together and stuff.
00:22:36.400 --> 00:22:42.319
Like the the time you can spend at home with your kids and your wife and everything.
00:22:42.480 --> 00:22:44.240
Um it was amazing.
00:22:44.400 --> 00:22:48.319
And it wasn't an envy like, oh, it must be nice, because you I know you worked for it.
00:22:48.480 --> 00:22:48.720
Yep.
00:22:48.880 --> 00:22:51.200
You know, you you absolutely were earned it.
00:22:51.359 --> 00:22:57.839
Um just like Cam earned his spot at a good shop that you know you're never gonna leave.
00:22:58.000 --> 00:22:59.200
Oh, you know.
00:22:59.599 --> 00:23:10.720
Um, and now I've earned hopefully people feel like I've earned my spot where I'm getting started, the path that you know you started down 12, 13 years ago.
00:23:10.799 --> 00:23:12.079
And with the same machine.
00:23:12.240 --> 00:23:13.680
Yeah, the exact same machine.
00:23:13.759 --> 00:23:14.160
That's right.
00:23:14.319 --> 00:23:15.119
That's the cool part.
00:23:15.359 --> 00:23:16.319
I love it.
00:23:16.559 --> 00:23:17.200
I love it.
00:23:17.519 --> 00:23:20.640
So with all this new freedom, are we gonna have some little paths coming in the future?
00:23:22.480 --> 00:23:26.000
Uh I mean, yeah, we got a little.
00:23:26.079 --> 00:23:26.559
Yeah.
00:23:27.680 --> 00:23:28.559
We'll see.
00:23:28.720 --> 00:23:29.359
We'll see.
00:23:30.000 --> 00:23:30.799
We'll see.
00:23:31.039 --> 00:23:33.119
Um just dogs for now.
00:23:33.279 --> 00:23:34.319
Yeah, just dogs for now.
00:23:34.559 --> 00:23:35.200
And a cat.
00:23:35.920 --> 00:23:39.279
They're having a hard time being away from us.
00:23:39.440 --> 00:23:43.759
I mean, with my my mother's watching the house, watching the watching the animals while we're gone.
00:23:44.000 --> 00:23:44.960
They're really gonna have a hard time.
00:23:46.079 --> 00:23:46.240
Okay.
00:23:47.119 --> 00:23:47.279
Yeah.
00:23:47.759 --> 00:23:48.559
Yeah, I know who you are now.
00:23:48.799 --> 00:23:49.599
Yeah, oh yeah.
00:23:49.680 --> 00:23:51.920
I'm I'm gonna get mauled to death, probably.
00:23:53.200 --> 00:23:56.240
So are you gonna did you see anything here you come by?
00:23:56.880 --> 00:24:04.799
Like seriously, whenever things be more established, invest in any sort of so school holding or anything.
00:24:05.119 --> 00:24:12.720
I was impressed with uh bison uh really up their game with work holding.
00:24:12.799 --> 00:24:13.039
Yeah.
00:24:13.200 --> 00:24:13.920
Uh, have you been there?
00:24:14.079 --> 00:24:14.400
Not yet.
00:24:14.559 --> 00:24:14.880
Brad?
00:24:15.279 --> 00:24:15.920
No, I haven't.
00:24:16.319 --> 00:24:20.240
So I I mean, I like bison for the three-jaw chucks, that's all I knew them to have.
00:24:20.400 --> 00:24:29.279
Well, this year they released uh self-serving vices, like what you would put on a five-axis machine or a fourth axis.
00:24:29.440 --> 00:24:29.680
Right.
00:24:30.079 --> 00:24:38.240
Um, they've got like a very low profile uh scroll chuck for a mill, because you know, I'm all about the mill ghilly.
00:24:38.799 --> 00:24:41.119
Scroll chucks available, ready to chips out.
00:24:41.839 --> 00:24:44.000
Uh it looked pretty contained.
00:24:44.160 --> 00:24:44.480
Okay.
00:24:44.880 --> 00:24:51.039
Um, the cool thing, I could see it getting in the way in some cases, but the drive mechanism for it was vertical.
00:24:51.359 --> 00:24:53.279
And you could decide for a ratchet.
00:24:53.680 --> 00:24:57.440
So you could use a wrench or it's like off to the side on the show.
00:24:57.519 --> 00:24:57.920
Yeah, yeah.
00:24:58.160 --> 00:24:58.400
Yep.
00:24:58.480 --> 00:24:59.839
And that's I mean, that's smart.
00:25:00.000 --> 00:25:10.880
And I think that will be a big help to shops like mine if you're starting out, but still want a you know quality product, but can't afford the high dollar companies.
00:25:10.960 --> 00:25:12.000
We all know who they are.
00:25:12.160 --> 00:25:14.319
But um, that was very interesting.
00:25:14.480 --> 00:25:18.079
Um, there's I'm not really a tool and die guy.
00:25:18.400 --> 00:25:22.640
You were started eight years, tool and die.
00:25:23.119 --> 00:25:24.960
Cutting cutting shims for dies.
00:25:25.440 --> 00:25:26.799
That's a pain, right?
00:25:26.960 --> 00:25:27.440
Yep.
00:25:27.920 --> 00:25:34.640
So there's a machine back there um made by I forgot, I think his name's Josh, but the company Scott Machine.
00:25:34.880 --> 00:25:36.880
He's invented this really cool thing.
00:25:37.119 --> 00:25:50.000
His dad invented this really cool thing where it's like a pantograph where you trace, you have your die block on the table, and you can trace inside of it with a stylus, and it will cut out a shim over here.
00:25:50.559 --> 00:25:52.000
It's it's really neat.
00:25:52.160 --> 00:25:58.000
And it's some the way he phrases it, it's it's an idea his dad had years ago that kind of helped develop it.
00:25:58.160 --> 00:26:00.880
Uh, and now, like this year, they've released it.
00:26:01.039 --> 00:26:05.920
And I mean, apparently they've they've had a really like a lot of luck with it.
00:26:06.240 --> 00:26:07.200
That's pretty full.
00:26:07.359 --> 00:26:19.839
20 years ago, when I was doing tool and die, we would trace it with a marker, tin snip, cut it out, and you'd have the punch block to get the holes through, and then you'd have to go to burr it, and you'd get an edge that's not supposed to be there.
00:26:21.519 --> 00:26:22.160
Exactly.
00:26:22.319 --> 00:26:25.599
And I realize now that that's not an answer to your question.
00:26:25.759 --> 00:26:26.079
Yeah.
00:26:27.119 --> 00:26:30.960
Classic MCAS pollen right there was tool and die from here on out now.
00:26:32.079 --> 00:26:33.599
No, I have not.
00:26:35.039 --> 00:26:37.519
Um, but it was cool.
00:26:37.680 --> 00:26:39.359
Would I buy when I'm not in that market?
00:26:39.440 --> 00:26:41.200
But hey, maybe somebody will.
00:26:41.359 --> 00:26:52.240
Besides that, um, I can't really put my finger on anything that I would buy, but I've definitely seen a lot of uh interesting solutions for threading.
00:26:52.559 --> 00:26:57.440
Inserted, indexable threading thread mills, and and even thread whirling.
00:26:57.599 --> 00:26:58.000
Yeah.
00:26:58.160 --> 00:27:00.000
Um, that I could see.
00:27:00.079 --> 00:27:04.880
I mean, yeah, I just like the last job I worked on before I came here, I broke tap.
00:27:05.759 --> 00:27:09.599
So uh yeah, threadmilling is very fresh in my brain.
00:27:09.839 --> 00:27:12.720
Well, you got a broken thread too on that.
00:27:15.680 --> 00:27:16.720
That's smart.
00:27:16.880 --> 00:27:18.480
That's true because my drill push well.
00:27:20.559 --> 00:27:21.440
Yeah, yeah.
00:27:21.599 --> 00:27:23.599
The threadmill versus an hour of my time.
00:27:23.680 --> 00:27:25.680
I mean, in Tennessee, it's you know 10 bucks.
00:27:25.839 --> 00:27:27.359
So yeah.
00:27:27.519 --> 00:27:29.839
Uh sweet tea while you go, man.
00:27:30.480 --> 00:27:31.519
Uh, I wish.
00:27:31.680 --> 00:27:33.039
Why I missed my sweet tea.
00:27:33.200 --> 00:27:34.160
Shoo doggy.
00:27:34.480 --> 00:27:38.079
I found a place in in Indiana that had sweet tea, and it was good.
00:27:38.240 --> 00:27:39.119
It was good.
00:27:39.359 --> 00:27:48.319
Uh since then, though, here in Chicago, I've never experienced getting free water automatically.
00:27:48.559 --> 00:27:48.960
Yeah.
00:27:49.119 --> 00:27:52.880
But apparently, up here in Yankeeville, that's a thing.
00:27:53.119 --> 00:27:56.960
Everywhere I've gone, you get a free thing of water, whether you want it or not.
00:27:57.200 --> 00:27:57.599
Yeah.
00:27:57.920 --> 00:28:00.640
And I it's new one to me.
00:28:02.319 --> 00:28:03.359
What about you guys?
00:28:03.440 --> 00:28:05.440
Have you seen anything you'd you would actually buy?
00:28:05.920 --> 00:28:09.680
Yeah, the two things I already mentioned, like that vice I was talking about, east CRM.
00:28:10.000 --> 00:28:10.160
Yeah.
00:28:10.319 --> 00:28:11.920
I mean, those are just first glance things.
00:28:12.000 --> 00:28:13.839
I haven't actually dug into it deeply.
00:28:14.000 --> 00:28:25.119
Obviously, if you're gonna buy a hundred thousand dollars C and then you look a little more, but back of the years turning at some point we're gonna need some sort of shop for solution for inspecting stuff and inspecting quickly.
00:28:25.200 --> 00:28:27.839
It's like right now using a high gauge, I can take forever.
00:28:27.920 --> 00:28:29.920
And checking stuff mainly take forever.
00:28:30.160 --> 00:28:33.359
Machines are sick where you check it for cards.
00:28:33.440 --> 00:28:36.720
So I know a guy that this is amazing.
00:28:36.880 --> 00:28:40.720
Going through the machine hall, I noticed there's a lot of machines that have a sold sticker on.
00:28:40.799 --> 00:28:45.359
Yeah, even the high dollar, you know, ones that you know are multi-million machines.
00:28:45.519 --> 00:28:48.400
Yeah, I've heard some of those machine companies have sold hundreds of machines here.
00:28:48.480 --> 00:28:49.279
Yeah, this show.
00:28:49.599 --> 00:29:03.039
A friend of mine um works at mainly MazeX shop, but they I called him yesterday because I was trying to get him to come here, and they were literally inking a deal with Herco for a VMX 42, like Kenny has.
00:29:03.200 --> 00:29:03.359
Yeah.
00:29:04.240 --> 00:29:06.720
I mean, we bought a machine last year at the shop.
00:29:07.599 --> 00:29:09.200
You can get good deals while you're at the show, though.
00:29:09.359 --> 00:29:10.960
It's some sort of IMCS promotion.
00:29:11.200 --> 00:29:13.359
Good tip, you're gonna buy a machine, wait till it feels.
00:29:13.680 --> 00:29:14.319
For real.
00:29:14.640 --> 00:29:15.680
What about you, Brad?
00:29:15.759 --> 00:29:19.119
Hawson's trying to buy a machine, but they haven't given him the price yet.
00:29:19.680 --> 00:29:21.680
He's been over there like four times.
00:29:21.920 --> 00:29:24.799
Uh no, I I haven't walked around much.
00:29:24.880 --> 00:29:28.319
I'm gonna go to the work poll and probably after this and check some stuff out.
00:29:28.480 --> 00:29:32.559
Uh looking for some more five-access stuff, just some party stuff.
00:29:32.799 --> 00:29:33.279
Yeah.
00:29:33.759 --> 00:29:35.680
You haven't looked at anything turning?
00:29:36.240 --> 00:29:38.319
No, absolutely not.
00:29:38.880 --> 00:29:40.720
Man, just walk right by.
00:29:41.359 --> 00:29:43.920
Which you want to do another trivia question right now?
00:29:44.079 --> 00:29:44.720
Yep, good time.
00:29:45.839 --> 00:29:48.319
Raise your hand if you wanna answer.
00:29:48.640 --> 00:30:02.079
On a Susie lathe, which answers normally control human along this in the right here.
00:30:06.720 --> 00:30:07.839
C axis?
00:30:09.279 --> 00:30:10.000
What did you say?
00:30:10.160 --> 00:30:10.720
C or Z?
00:30:10.960 --> 00:30:13.440
Wait, are you saying it are you saying it on that axis or that?
00:30:13.680 --> 00:30:14.160
Yeah, you go.
00:30:15.200 --> 00:30:19.839
On a C and C bray at which axis go control move it along the spindle center line.
00:30:22.160 --> 00:30:23.440
Is that rotational?
00:30:23.920 --> 00:30:26.000
Along Oh, along okay.
00:30:26.079 --> 00:30:27.039
Well, never mind I asked.
00:30:27.759 --> 00:30:29.519
Oh, trick question, got it.
00:30:30.319 --> 00:30:31.599
That's not a trick question.
00:30:31.839 --> 00:30:32.079
Yeah.
00:30:32.880 --> 00:30:34.000
Right there behind you.
00:30:34.319 --> 00:30:35.200
Oh wait.
00:30:35.839 --> 00:30:36.079
Okay.
00:30:36.319 --> 00:30:38.400
I I'm not sure which one raised their hand first.
00:30:38.880 --> 00:30:40.240
Raise up high, guys.
00:30:40.880 --> 00:30:43.039
You pay for I don't have a mic.
00:30:43.519 --> 00:30:46.000
The uh U or X axis?
00:30:46.559 --> 00:30:46.880
Oh.
00:30:48.640 --> 00:30:50.559
Along the circle center line.
00:30:51.279 --> 00:30:52.319
I bet the center line.
00:30:52.640 --> 00:30:52.799
Z.
00:30:53.200 --> 00:30:53.440
That's right.
00:30:53.759 --> 00:30:53.920
Correct.
00:30:54.480 --> 00:30:56.240
Center line kind of throws you off.
00:30:56.720 --> 00:30:58.720
Did did we AI these questions?
00:30:59.119 --> 00:30:59.839
Oh, correct.
00:31:01.119 --> 00:31:02.640
So they're wrong, plain brand.
00:31:02.960 --> 00:31:03.599
Yeah.
00:31:05.039 --> 00:31:09.440
Before we were you think I came up with a laid question?
00:31:09.759 --> 00:31:10.880
I don't even know the answer.
00:31:10.960 --> 00:31:11.920
I would have got it wrong too.
00:31:12.079 --> 00:31:12.960
That's a good point.
00:31:15.039 --> 00:31:17.200
Well, um, yeah.
00:31:17.440 --> 00:31:20.799
So it's so I got a question.
00:31:20.960 --> 00:31:21.440
Yep.
00:31:21.680 --> 00:31:25.440
Just for people who are listening who haven't been to IMTS.
00:31:25.759 --> 00:31:29.839
What advice would you give for actually playing out an IMTS trip?
00:31:30.000 --> 00:31:30.640
How much time?
00:31:30.720 --> 00:31:32.480
How much walking around you need to do?
00:31:33.839 --> 00:31:34.799
That sort of thing.
00:31:35.119 --> 00:31:36.480
Do not wear new boots.
00:31:36.640 --> 00:31:40.640
Yeah, don't wear I wear new boots and I got a giant blister on my heel.
00:31:41.359 --> 00:31:42.160
Day one.
00:31:42.640 --> 00:31:44.400
Day one within like four hours.
00:31:44.480 --> 00:31:44.720
Yeah.
00:31:44.960 --> 00:31:46.160
You should have numbered that.
00:31:46.319 --> 00:31:47.119
Yeah, I know.
00:31:47.359 --> 00:31:49.119
That's that's rough.
00:31:49.599 --> 00:31:51.119
For sure, good shoes.
00:31:51.279 --> 00:31:54.559
I mean, we we went and bought fairly expensive shoes for the show.
00:31:54.640 --> 00:31:57.680
Just even knowing I wouldn't be walking around that much.
00:31:57.759 --> 00:32:00.799
I mean, my wife's gone around and grabbed every free thing she could get a hold of.
00:32:00.880 --> 00:32:03.519
We got what, 15 hats back at the hotel?
00:32:03.759 --> 00:32:06.640
Yeah, I saw a guy walking around with like 30 hats on his head.
00:32:06.799 --> 00:32:08.799
He was like eight and a half feet tall with all his hats.
00:32:08.960 --> 00:32:09.920
It was a ballmark.
00:32:10.160 --> 00:32:10.559
Wow.
00:32:11.200 --> 00:32:12.559
You better get out there.
00:32:12.720 --> 00:32:13.200
Yeah.
00:32:13.440 --> 00:32:13.759
Yeah.
00:32:14.160 --> 00:32:14.799
14?
00:32:15.200 --> 00:32:15.839
13?
00:32:16.640 --> 00:32:18.000
What do you do with autumn hat hat?
00:32:18.240 --> 00:32:19.759
Well, he's he's a backwards hanger now.
00:32:20.559 --> 00:32:23.119
I I am not, uh to be clear.
00:32:23.359 --> 00:32:29.200
Um, but I guess you know, I just have to wear one backwards, one sideways, one front, one just have a little tower.
00:32:29.359 --> 00:32:30.000
There you go.
00:32:31.119 --> 00:32:34.640
Um, yeah, it's uh for sure shoes.
00:32:34.799 --> 00:32:40.880
Um water, although most, you know, a lot of the booths offer you, you know, water or some you know other beverages.
00:32:41.039 --> 00:32:42.480
Yeah, a lot of places have beer.
00:32:42.720 --> 00:32:43.519
Cool ones out here.
00:32:44.000 --> 00:32:44.400
Yeah.
00:32:44.559 --> 00:32:50.000
Umide has popcorn, and I have to say, I I love like all these booths have been amazing.
00:32:50.160 --> 00:32:53.359
Allied's still my favorite because their popcorn is awesome.
00:32:53.599 --> 00:32:55.519
They have all these different flavorings and everything.
00:32:56.480 --> 00:32:59.599
And honestly, so do they not have that manga on?
00:32:59.920 --> 00:33:01.599
Yeah, they don't have popcorn, obviously.
00:33:01.759 --> 00:33:03.119
Yeah, they don't have popcorn to see.
00:33:03.680 --> 00:33:04.880
No, we we do.
00:33:05.039 --> 00:33:07.200
Uh it's just like going to an event.
00:33:07.279 --> 00:33:08.799
I mean, it's it's good.
00:33:09.279 --> 00:33:12.559
Um, so you can kind of live off that.
00:33:12.880 --> 00:33:15.599
You don't really have to bring a lot of food.
00:33:16.079 --> 00:33:17.519
Live off the popcorn and coffee.
00:33:17.839 --> 00:33:18.720
Yeah, I have.
00:33:18.880 --> 00:33:26.480
Because I mean, my God, I know you guys said it was cheap the other day, but I got a I got me a Chicago dog and a uh pizza.
00:33:26.559 --> 00:33:32.799
It wasn't the tomato soup pizza that they're known for here, but um I uh I'm gonna get blasts.
00:33:33.759 --> 00:33:35.839
Yeah, can it get fine by some Chicago?
00:33:36.000 --> 00:33:36.720
Oh yeah, I love it.
00:33:37.039 --> 00:33:38.720
Scared is gonna come remove, yeah.
00:33:38.960 --> 00:33:39.519
Right.
00:33:40.240 --> 00:33:46.160
Um, but like it was it was pretty expensive, you know, to actually get food here at the show is a good bit.
00:33:46.319 --> 00:33:48.880
So scrounge what free stuff you can.
00:33:49.039 --> 00:33:57.519
Uh bring good shoes, um, and you know, have your Instagram handle on tap if you're gonna be one of them guys to be like, hey man, I love your show.
00:33:57.599 --> 00:33:59.359
Thanks for you know, whatnot.
00:33:59.519 --> 00:34:00.799
That's awesome.
00:34:01.119 --> 00:34:04.960
It you you know us, we may not know you.
00:34:05.200 --> 00:34:06.799
And uh better.
00:34:06.960 --> 00:34:09.199
We know you very well, I just have no idea what's in the body.
00:34:09.519 --> 00:34:09.920
Right.
00:34:10.079 --> 00:34:15.039
Yeah, we know who you are on you know Instagram or whatever, but we don't know your your first.
00:34:15.280 --> 00:34:19.119
So it's wonderful to meet everybody, uh, for sure.
00:34:19.360 --> 00:34:19.679
Yeah.
00:34:19.920 --> 00:34:22.639
I would say playing from more time than you think you need.
00:34:22.880 --> 00:34:27.199
I know a couple people that yeah, maybe one day or two days is just it's never enough.
00:34:27.280 --> 00:34:28.480
There's so much stuff to see.
00:34:28.639 --> 00:34:34.400
I know I know people walking seven to ten miles a day here and still not seeing everything.
00:34:34.800 --> 00:34:37.360
What blows my mind is emo is even bigger than this.
00:34:37.519 --> 00:34:37.840
I know.
00:34:38.000 --> 00:34:40.639
I haven't been to emote yet, but I've heard it's like a little size.
00:34:41.599 --> 00:34:42.800
Maybe next year, ma'am.
00:34:42.960 --> 00:34:44.079
Maybe we'll see.
00:34:44.559 --> 00:34:47.599
Oh man, imagine a cast from uh Europe.
00:34:47.920 --> 00:34:48.480
Right?
00:34:48.880 --> 00:34:49.360
Oh man.
00:34:49.599 --> 00:34:50.719
Have to say everything in metric.
00:34:52.239 --> 00:34:52.880
Yeah.
00:34:53.840 --> 00:34:55.039
Brad, what about you?
00:34:57.280 --> 00:34:59.039
Well, shoes, obviously.
00:34:59.119 --> 00:34:59.760
You could shoe.
00:35:00.239 --> 00:35:01.840
Um that's a big one.
00:35:02.000 --> 00:35:03.360
That's why we we've all said it.
00:35:03.440 --> 00:35:04.320
It's pretty important.
00:35:04.880 --> 00:35:11.599
I think just know what you want to look at and plan your day because there's so much you can see, and you can get stopped walking around.
00:35:11.840 --> 00:35:22.880
You know, if you're in the market for a work hole, and make sure you get over there, get it down and all assembly, um, catch, whatever he is, he's staying for another day so he can see some stuff.
00:35:23.039 --> 00:35:26.320
He said the last few days he's just been too busy talking to people.
00:35:26.400 --> 00:35:28.960
So yeah, he's gonna stick around tomorrow and go check everything out.
00:35:29.440 --> 00:35:32.480
If if a lot of people tell you wear a fake mustache, right?
00:35:32.880 --> 00:35:34.000
Or fake tattoos.
00:35:34.239 --> 00:35:34.639
That's right.
00:35:34.719 --> 00:35:34.960
That's right.
00:35:36.320 --> 00:35:37.119
Yeah, oh yeah.
00:35:37.280 --> 00:35:40.719
When they kick him out of here, the headline's gonna say Brad Marvel Machine.
00:35:41.039 --> 00:35:44.000
Kick's for stickering.
00:35:44.639 --> 00:35:45.760
The yeah.
00:35:46.000 --> 00:35:48.960
Now, now I will admit, I tried to grow a beard.
00:35:49.039 --> 00:35:50.400
This is as far as I could get.
00:35:50.559 --> 00:35:52.800
So, I mean, I couldn't pull the full thing off.
00:35:52.960 --> 00:35:53.599
That's all you got.
00:35:54.000 --> 00:35:54.719
Yeah, that's all I got.
00:35:54.880 --> 00:35:55.360
Sorry.
00:35:55.519 --> 00:35:56.800
You'll be a man someday.
00:35:56.960 --> 00:35:58.320
Yeah, one day.
00:35:58.960 --> 00:36:00.719
Once he figures out how to run that BC.
00:36:01.039 --> 00:36:02.159
Yeah, that's right.
00:36:02.400 --> 00:36:03.360
That's right.
00:36:04.000 --> 00:36:06.559
Um, what else you got, Cam?
00:36:07.199 --> 00:36:14.320
Uh well, as far as planning goes, I would I would definitely say plan for uh finally other e-beaks as well.
00:36:14.639 --> 00:36:16.480
If you know people, yeah.
00:36:16.800 --> 00:36:20.159
That's one thing I it helps if you don't need to do the show at like 8 a.m.
00:36:20.719 --> 00:36:21.840
Yeah, for sure.
00:36:22.000 --> 00:36:29.360
I mean, we're here like we leave our hotel at 7:30, which you know, for poor Brad, that's like it's like 5 a.m.
00:36:29.519 --> 00:36:29.840
for him.
00:36:30.079 --> 00:36:31.119
That's pretty early.
00:36:31.360 --> 00:36:32.880
Uh yeah.
00:36:33.119 --> 00:36:37.280
And so, but at the same time, we're out here having a good time, right?
00:36:37.360 --> 00:36:40.400
We want to go, you know, enjoy ourselves after the show.
00:36:40.559 --> 00:36:42.880
We're leaving the show at 6 or thereabouts.
00:36:42.960 --> 00:36:45.360
So we're here from you know, 8 to 6.
00:36:45.679 --> 00:36:50.239
And then some of these guys want to go out and party and and for house and all that.
00:36:50.480 --> 00:36:55.119
Um, get back to the hotel at 2 or 3, get up, get up in the morning, and do it all again.
00:36:55.199 --> 00:36:56.159
That's rough.
00:36:56.400 --> 00:37:02.559
Um, and never mind the fact that you get invited to parties with people, with with companies, the link companies.
00:37:02.800 --> 00:37:11.280
Um it's hard to say no because the whole connection networking thing, and plus the friends we had that work at these places.
00:37:11.360 --> 00:37:14.000
I mean, sometimes you you you have to.
00:37:14.559 --> 00:37:15.519
Networking's awesome.
00:37:15.920 --> 00:37:20.159
Like you got say you got some tools you use that you know you're having issues with or whatever.
00:37:20.320 --> 00:37:22.639
Maybe the rep in your area isn't super knowledgeable.
00:37:22.960 --> 00:37:30.880
You come here and you talk to the people here, you get a couple levels above them and tell them about your problems, you you'll really get stuff solved.
00:37:31.039 --> 00:37:35.519
And you you make good contact so when you have issues in future, you know, figure something out and gotta yeah.
00:37:35.840 --> 00:37:38.000
It's nice to be able to put a tool in your hand too.
00:37:39.039 --> 00:37:48.400
That's been a big issue with me is trying to find something online and seeing a picture of it and just know it's in work, but be able to hold something that yeah, that's for sure.
00:37:48.559 --> 00:37:51.039
I mean, the to be able to actually see it.
00:37:51.119 --> 00:37:52.960
I mean, a website only goes so far.
00:37:53.280 --> 00:37:57.360
You know, you've got like clamps and fixture clamps and things like that.
00:37:57.599 --> 00:38:00.880
Well, and when you look at something on a website, you just see the thing.
00:38:01.039 --> 00:38:03.679
You don't have somebody there that knows everything about the thing.
00:38:03.920 --> 00:38:06.800
So you're like, oh well, we have this, like this works place, and I don't know.
00:38:06.960 --> 00:38:10.559
This stuff there's features about you don't even know exist that they know.
00:38:10.800 --> 00:38:12.800
Or things to be a concern.
00:38:12.880 --> 00:38:17.519
Like, oh well, if you're gonna be using this tool to do that specific application, it's not gonna work great.
00:38:17.599 --> 00:38:18.400
There's just other things.
00:38:19.280 --> 00:38:20.880
It's just it's great.
00:38:21.119 --> 00:38:28.719
I learned a lot the other night when we went all ISCAR about curving all the random letters and numbers or whatever element of B.
00:38:28.960 --> 00:38:30.480
Yeah, all right, right.
00:38:30.719 --> 00:38:30.960
Right.
00:38:31.199 --> 00:38:34.559
C M M D or MMD, MM, I don't know.
00:38:34.880 --> 00:38:36.639
He's gonna bring me a chart.
00:38:37.039 --> 00:38:37.920
You'll get there.
00:38:38.159 --> 00:38:41.039
Yeah, so he's gonna furnish up a tool in the machine, too.
00:38:41.119 --> 00:38:41.360
Yeah.
00:38:41.440 --> 00:38:43.440
Oh yeah, I learned I'm doing that wrong too.
00:38:43.599 --> 00:38:45.440
Yeah, it cuts, it cuts.
00:38:46.480 --> 00:38:47.039
Oh man.
00:38:47.679 --> 00:38:49.039
Yep, yeah, for sure.
00:38:49.199 --> 00:38:51.119
Networking is is crazy.
00:38:51.360 --> 00:38:53.760
Um, you want to do another trivia, Brad?
00:38:53.920 --> 00:38:55.760
Yeah, and we're gonna lose one lap.
00:38:56.800 --> 00:38:58.000
Um, let's see.
00:38:59.760 --> 00:39:06.000
What is the included angle of a standard NP NPT pipe thread?
00:39:06.239 --> 00:39:07.679
Oh, that's a good one.
00:39:09.760 --> 00:39:10.639
Anyone?
00:39:11.039 --> 00:39:15.199
Standard angle NPT pipe dread.
00:39:15.679 --> 00:39:16.639
Or insert, right?
00:39:16.800 --> 00:39:18.159
Marco, you want to answer it?
00:39:20.480 --> 00:39:21.599
Included, right?
00:39:21.679 --> 00:39:22.559
Not per side.
00:39:23.360 --> 00:39:25.679
Oh man, I gotta do math then to figure that out.
00:39:26.000 --> 00:39:27.440
I'll do it per side.
00:39:28.000 --> 00:39:28.400
Right, yeah.
00:39:29.199 --> 00:39:34.239
1.67 per side or uh three point one eight.
00:39:35.840 --> 00:39:36.960
Good job, man.
00:39:37.760 --> 00:39:38.320
Is that right?
00:39:38.559 --> 00:39:38.719
Thank you.
00:39:38.880 --> 00:39:39.199
Yep.
00:39:39.440 --> 00:39:42.480
Your APCA 4.7899, isn't it?
00:39:45.599 --> 00:39:46.400
Wait, sorry, guys.
00:39:46.559 --> 00:39:47.519
I suppose enough.
00:39:47.679 --> 00:39:48.159
Yep.
00:39:48.880 --> 00:39:49.440
It'll seal.
00:39:49.519 --> 00:39:51.360
Just crank it down another half turn, it'll seal.
00:39:51.519 --> 00:39:53.679
We need to remember questions a little better.
00:39:54.000 --> 00:39:58.400
I mean, we thought of this this morning, so I'm sorry it was a little messy, but yeah.
00:39:58.719 --> 00:40:00.960
Speaking of does anybody have any questions for us?
00:40:01.119 --> 00:40:01.760
Yeah.
00:40:03.280 --> 00:40:05.760
No, no, wow, you're talking about it.
00:40:05.840 --> 00:40:06.559
Ian does.
00:40:06.719 --> 00:40:07.039
Yeah.
00:40:07.280 --> 00:40:07.599
Oh.
00:40:09.920 --> 00:40:10.159
Yeah.
00:40:10.239 --> 00:40:10.800
Yeah, that's it.
00:40:12.559 --> 00:40:13.679
I call if I pay for them.
00:40:13.760 --> 00:40:15.199
You win on it and throw them in?
00:40:15.519 --> 00:40:16.159
Yeah.
00:40:17.119 --> 00:40:19.280
How much would this actually cost?
00:40:19.599 --> 00:40:21.039
You're not paying for it, it doesn't matter.
00:40:21.199 --> 00:40:23.440
Well, I know, but like I'm genuinely curious.
00:40:23.599 --> 00:40:25.199
Like, two sleeves.
00:40:25.760 --> 00:40:29.360
I mean, these were like two dollars on Amazon, but that's how much we got.
00:40:29.840 --> 00:40:33.119
If you did that exact thing, you're probably looking at two, three quarter in.
00:40:34.480 --> 00:40:35.920
Well, I mean, not two.
00:40:36.159 --> 00:40:38.000
Oh, wow.
00:40:38.320 --> 00:40:39.920
Depends on how much you want to do.
00:40:41.840 --> 00:40:43.920
You come up in Minnesota, I got one at home.
00:40:44.000 --> 00:40:44.960
I get a new puppy.
00:40:45.119 --> 00:40:45.280
Yeah.
00:40:46.079 --> 00:40:47.440
Shit brought that to the shoulders.
00:40:47.679 --> 00:40:48.480
I know I thought about it.
00:40:48.639 --> 00:40:50.880
Just get the Marwood thing right on my arm.
00:40:51.440 --> 00:40:55.760
Ian and I would have probably been not looking good one morning.
00:40:58.400 --> 00:40:59.280
Oh man.
00:40:59.679 --> 00:41:03.440
Um, cool.
00:41:03.760 --> 00:41:04.239
Cool.
00:41:04.480 --> 00:41:05.519
That's new.
00:41:05.840 --> 00:41:07.679
Uh all right.
00:41:07.760 --> 00:41:10.639
Um, you got any other topics for the from the show, Brad?
00:41:10.880 --> 00:41:11.679
Or uh Cam?
00:41:11.920 --> 00:41:12.239
All right?
00:41:13.119 --> 00:41:14.719
No, I'll read through all the questions.
00:41:14.960 --> 00:41:15.039
Okay.
00:41:15.760 --> 00:41:16.719
I'm too busy talking to people.
00:41:16.880 --> 00:41:18.079
I haven't really tried to do this.
00:41:18.400 --> 00:41:18.719
Okay.
00:41:19.599 --> 00:41:22.960
We always shoot for an hour, an hour and a half.
00:41:23.440 --> 00:41:29.280
And I find it funny that the first time we do it live in person, we're like 45 minutes, yeah, we're good.
00:41:29.519 --> 00:41:30.239
Oh no.
00:41:31.760 --> 00:41:36.239
I feel like it's easier when you're just chilling at home for the shop.
00:41:36.400 --> 00:41:36.800
It is.
00:41:37.920 --> 00:41:41.119
And Pat gives us a whole itself spreadsheet of talking about.
00:41:41.280 --> 00:41:42.079
Yeah, that's true.
00:41:42.320 --> 00:41:45.039
That is a good planner.
00:41:45.519 --> 00:41:46.159
Yeah.
00:41:46.559 --> 00:41:46.719
Okay.
00:41:49.039 --> 00:41:50.480
How'd that go, Pat?
00:41:50.800 --> 00:41:52.880
Well, we had to redo it three times.
00:41:53.119 --> 00:41:55.599
Um, Pat was trying to read from the script.
00:41:55.920 --> 00:41:56.559
Yeah.
00:41:56.960 --> 00:41:59.519
I I'm bad about that.
00:42:00.639 --> 00:42:02.719
Oh, I can tell you're reading.
00:42:02.960 --> 00:42:04.559
That's but yeah, yeah.
00:42:04.719 --> 00:42:19.840
Two, what, over two years ago now, uh, when we started the show, it's kind of crazy to think like the journey that's put us on, you know, for us all to just start throwing the show together and and me trying to write a whole script, which is so stupid.
00:42:20.800 --> 00:42:27.440
Uh, and then finally get into our groove, and and now here we are, all three of us up here on the stage together doing this.
00:42:27.599 --> 00:42:29.920
Yeah, this is the first time all three of us have been together.
00:42:30.079 --> 00:42:30.239
Yeah.
00:42:30.400 --> 00:42:31.360
Oh, yeah, that's true.
00:42:31.519 --> 00:42:34.719
Yeah, I mean, Cam and I have met, you know, in person a couple times.
00:42:34.880 --> 00:42:36.559
I've never met Brett.
00:42:36.960 --> 00:42:40.079
Um, what happened?
00:42:40.480 --> 00:42:40.960
That's right.
00:42:41.119 --> 00:42:44.159
Yeah, two years hanging with you guys, and now look at me.
00:42:46.320 --> 00:42:47.280
Justin?
00:42:52.079 --> 00:43:04.159
Pat, I know this is your first time in a big city, and what first time we're all together as a group, what is the one thing that you would say INTS is enlightening you all on about this community?
00:43:05.039 --> 00:43:08.079
How wonderful everyone is.
00:43:08.960 --> 00:43:11.760
Uh just okay.
00:43:12.159 --> 00:43:18.400
When we're on uh the internet and we're browsing Facebook or whatever, when we see the comments, right?
00:43:18.800 --> 00:43:20.400
A lot of negative comments up.
00:43:20.639 --> 00:43:26.239
And sometimes I get under my skin uh and then I call Brad in to you know put him in their place.
00:43:26.639 --> 00:43:46.480
Um but the fact that everybody that had enough about him to show up here at the show and especially here at the Machinist Hub and be happy and grateful and show energy and passion about the trade, about what we're doing.
00:43:46.719 --> 00:43:58.559
Um it it really helps give me like, you know, I can drown out the negativity because I've had so many people come up to me and and appreciate what we do.
00:43:58.880 --> 00:44:18.639
Uh And it that helps with my perspective, helps give me more fuel to keep going, you know, keep doing it, keep enjoying it, uh, put more effort into it because clearly, I mean, we've been standing room only several times during our sessions.
00:44:18.880 --> 00:44:23.920
Uh it's winding down now, you know, a little bit since it's Thursday, or maybe we just suck.
00:44:24.239 --> 00:44:25.039
I don't know.
00:44:26.639 --> 00:44:35.280
Um, but uh the just yeah, the the amount of community that it's helped me feel has been has been great.
00:44:35.679 --> 00:44:38.719
I thought you were looking for Hay Arnold to show up.
00:44:40.239 --> 00:44:44.880
You know, I have the feeling he's not the kind of guy that would come to a show like this.
00:44:45.280 --> 00:44:45.599
No.
00:44:47.760 --> 00:44:48.639
Bet you you can.
00:44:49.440 --> 00:44:50.639
I would agree with that.
00:44:51.119 --> 00:45:01.119
Definitely been pretty sweet talking to all these people having just all these random people excited for us and one that bought the us.
00:45:01.199 --> 00:45:02.239
I mean, I don't know.
00:45:02.480 --> 00:45:03.039
It's weird.
00:45:03.280 --> 00:45:05.199
It's it's weird in a good way.
00:45:05.280 --> 00:45:05.519
Yeah.
00:45:05.679 --> 00:45:09.760
Uh because let's face it, we're all machinists, we're all awkward.
00:45:09.920 --> 00:45:10.239
Yeah.
00:45:10.480 --> 00:45:12.960
Uh it so it ain't nothing.
00:45:14.480 --> 00:45:15.199
Oh yeah.
00:45:15.519 --> 00:45:20.639
It it's it ain't nothing, you know, to have some awkward pauses and things like that.
00:45:20.719 --> 00:45:29.280
And like like you guys mentioned before, the whole like look at your face, shake your hand, look at your badge, try to in like half a second figure out who you are.
00:45:29.599 --> 00:45:36.880
Um, and at the end of the day, it it doesn't it doesn't matter because we're all we're all here for the same thing.
00:45:37.039 --> 00:45:40.239
And and that is like our love of this of this trade, this industry.
00:45:43.519 --> 00:46:02.000
Apart from that, the same point that we've been talking about now, like just how how impressive and and important the community is, I would say it gives me a little bit of hope that manufacturing is is maybe about to make a comeback.
00:46:02.480 --> 00:46:05.360
Um again, I I mean it ties back to the same thing.
00:46:05.440 --> 00:46:13.119
The passion that every ever excuse me, everybody shows for the industry goes a long way.
00:46:13.280 --> 00:46:21.199
Seeing the fact that people are spending you know so much money on a presence here, and everyone is so happy and so excited.
00:46:21.440 --> 00:46:27.280
As an aside, yes, of course, it's it's great for us, but it's like, yeah, people like our stuff, they love the channel.
00:46:27.679 --> 00:46:35.039
But in addition to that, that means that people care about manufacturing and you know, looking around at everything.
00:46:35.599 --> 00:46:42.159
Like the crowd you see here, I don't think is what you would expect to see, knowing what you never work in a shop.
00:46:42.239 --> 00:46:45.440
So you figure just get a bunch of old dudes walking around looking at stuff.
00:46:45.840 --> 00:46:57.039
I mean, when I worked at a shop of of you know 10 to 12 people that worked on the floor, I would say maybe three of them would be even interested in coming to a show like this.
00:46:57.199 --> 00:46:57.519
Yeah.
00:46:57.760 --> 00:47:12.800
But now I'm looking, I mean, Thursday, it's like things are getting slower, and I'm looking around, and I'm looking at several hundred people, you know, between what's at our booth and throughout the halls, and and I can see about 0.2% of this whole building.
00:47:13.039 --> 00:47:13.519
From us.
00:47:13.920 --> 00:47:31.760
Um, yeah, it's we really are also on that note, the global aspect too, because I've met several people from Australia, uh, New Zealand, uh Europe, you know, even in Asia as well.
00:47:32.000 --> 00:47:33.679
Yeah, they got to see what Kiwi looks like.
00:47:33.840 --> 00:47:35.119
Finally got to meet old Bob.
00:47:35.360 --> 00:47:37.920
Is he yeah, he's he's been around a lot.
00:47:38.079 --> 00:47:39.519
I got a really good picture of him.
00:47:39.760 --> 00:47:40.079
Nice.
00:47:40.400 --> 00:47:41.519
Robusted on the internet.
00:47:41.920 --> 00:47:43.840
Nobody knew what he looked like until today.
00:47:44.000 --> 00:47:45.840
Uh or earlier this week.
00:47:45.920 --> 00:47:46.400
Yeah, all right.
00:47:46.639 --> 00:47:50.320
I remember uh met up with him in a bar and I had no idea of uh looking for it.
00:47:50.559 --> 00:47:51.280
Yep, same thing.
00:47:51.440 --> 00:47:54.480
You're just walking in there until somebody seemed like they wanted to talk to him.
00:47:55.360 --> 00:47:56.559
Another guy.
00:47:56.800 --> 00:47:58.480
Now, what about you guys?
00:47:59.599 --> 00:48:01.360
Just in what you've learned through the show.
00:48:01.679 --> 00:48:04.239
I don't know if I specifically learned anything.
00:48:04.719 --> 00:48:07.840
Partially because I've been just standing here popping with me a little while.
00:48:08.079 --> 00:48:08.639
That's right.
00:48:08.800 --> 00:48:12.800
But yeah, I saw some new technology, saw some vices, you know.
00:48:12.960 --> 00:48:22.159
I guess I've learned that those exist and supposed new like fully new concepts and the alpha learned new thing, but I'd probably find something about where to actually walk around.
00:48:22.320 --> 00:48:22.559
Yeah.
00:48:23.119 --> 00:48:26.559
We've still got, you know, to today and a good bit of tomorrow.
00:48:26.719 --> 00:48:28.239
So Brad.
00:48:29.360 --> 00:48:33.840
You got any impractical tips you want to share for this episode?
00:48:35.119 --> 00:48:35.840
We should.
00:48:36.000 --> 00:48:37.920
I just don't have it prepared on the spreadsheet.
00:48:38.159 --> 00:48:40.400
What about uh car rentals?
00:48:40.800 --> 00:48:43.519
Oh god, what about what car rentals?
00:48:43.920 --> 00:48:48.639
So apparently you can't rent a one-way far rental from uh Chicago back home.
00:48:48.800 --> 00:48:52.079
So I'm gonna be driving a U-Haul truck back home.
00:48:53.199 --> 00:48:55.519
So I guess rent or do a two-way.
00:48:56.719 --> 00:49:00.000
I guess a two-way and park it somewhere.
00:49:00.239 --> 00:49:05.760
I in the future, I'm either gonna bite the bullet and fly, or I'll do like Brad did.
00:49:06.400 --> 00:49:07.440
You gotta fly, you do.
00:49:07.840 --> 00:49:10.159
Yeah, that's I'm just gonna stop there.
00:49:10.239 --> 00:49:11.519
That's really what I need to do.
00:49:11.679 --> 00:49:26.159
I promised Marco earlier um that I should uh you know, like next year, I'm gonna take a trip somewhere in a plane, learn the process, and you know, that way come in to guess 2028.
00:49:26.400 --> 00:49:27.840
You gotta fly to Nashville.
00:49:29.599 --> 00:49:30.159
I don't know.
00:49:30.239 --> 00:49:30.559
We'll see.
00:49:30.719 --> 00:49:31.519
New Mexico or something.
00:49:31.679 --> 00:49:33.440
I've got a good 20-minute flight in.
00:49:33.599 --> 00:49:34.639
Yeah, for real.
00:49:34.880 --> 00:49:37.599
Gotta get three layovers and said New Mexico.
00:49:37.840 --> 00:49:38.000
Yeah.
00:49:38.239 --> 00:49:39.039
Or do you there?
00:49:39.280 --> 00:49:40.800
Yeah, I mean, it's where I was born.
00:49:40.880 --> 00:49:44.079
Uh I don't know what I would do there, but hold on.
00:49:44.320 --> 00:49:46.880
This is the second time you've left Tennessee.
00:49:47.280 --> 00:49:52.239
Uh I've been to Georgia like three times, so I mean barely into Georgia.
00:49:52.400 --> 00:49:52.719
Yeah.
00:49:52.880 --> 00:49:54.559
I shopped an hour across the border.
00:49:54.800 --> 00:49:57.199
Hey, I mean, well, so am I.
00:49:57.360 --> 00:50:00.639
But like, hey, if you came to my place, we are we in Tennessee?
00:50:00.800 --> 00:50:01.199
Yeah.
00:50:01.360 --> 00:50:04.719
Well, possibly during the Nashville like seven times.
00:50:05.039 --> 00:50:07.360
You know, I've never been to Nashville, really.
00:50:07.599 --> 00:50:08.639
You're not missing much.
00:50:08.880 --> 00:50:09.360
I'm sure.
00:50:09.440 --> 00:50:10.559
It's just party town.
00:50:10.719 --> 00:50:11.039
Yeah.
00:50:11.280 --> 00:50:13.679
I mean, as you wanted to go to party, best place.
00:50:13.760 --> 00:50:14.960
You got a Burbanstreel.
00:50:15.199 --> 00:50:17.280
You want to go hear a bunch of garbage music?
00:50:17.519 --> 00:50:18.800
Probably not very true.
00:50:19.519 --> 00:50:20.159
Yeah.
00:50:20.559 --> 00:50:21.360
Oh man.
00:50:22.559 --> 00:50:26.320
Any more, any more questions from uh our lovely audience here?
00:50:29.119 --> 00:50:29.360
Ev.
00:50:31.280 --> 00:50:32.480
Go get him.
00:50:36.400 --> 00:50:37.360
I'm curious.
00:50:38.000 --> 00:50:41.760
I'm curious what are some of your favorite tools in your shop?
00:50:42.000 --> 00:50:47.440
So, for example, for me, I love my Milwaukee M12 right-hand die grinder.
00:50:48.719 --> 00:50:52.079
Milwaukee 3H drive power ratchet.
00:50:54.960 --> 00:50:57.920
Swapping on uh Vice Drills.
00:50:58.239 --> 00:50:59.119
Can't be it.
00:50:59.599 --> 00:51:01.039
I just hammer that thing on too.
00:51:01.119 --> 00:51:04.400
But when I'm tight and loosen it, I just treat hard at breaker bar.
00:51:04.960 --> 00:51:08.719
I'm gonna go with Cam on that one who he he shared that with me about a year ago.
00:51:08.880 --> 00:51:11.599
My only issue is the batteries fall apart.
00:51:11.679 --> 00:51:12.719
I don't know what my deal is.
00:51:12.960 --> 00:51:15.519
I think it's because I use them as a hammer sometimes.
00:51:16.239 --> 00:51:17.199
Oh yeah.
00:51:17.760 --> 00:51:18.320
Yes.
00:51:19.039 --> 00:51:22.880
Uh same, but but I'm cheap, so I went with Hercules.
00:51:23.679 --> 00:51:25.679
But yeah, I I bought one for myself.
00:51:25.760 --> 00:51:26.400
It's funny.
00:51:26.559 --> 00:51:27.840
Funny, funny you asked that.
00:51:28.239 --> 00:51:34.000
That's one of those things I always wanted employers to invest in, and they never would.
00:51:34.559 --> 00:51:36.880
And it's so funny.
00:51:37.039 --> 00:51:46.880
One of the greatest joys that I have owning my shop is when I feel the need that I need something, I don't have to run it up the ladder.
00:51:47.039 --> 00:51:48.559
I can just buy it.
00:51:48.880 --> 00:51:54.079
And obviously, you gotta be careful doing that, or else the Amex will run up a three grand.
00:51:54.480 --> 00:51:59.679
But you know, yeah, if I feel like I need a die grinder, because I bought a die grinder as well.
00:51:59.840 --> 00:52:01.119
Uh what brand?
00:52:01.360 --> 00:52:02.159
Hercules.
00:52:03.039 --> 00:52:09.199
Hey, for two reasons, you'll be proud of me for this because you're all about branding and color scheme and all that.
00:52:09.360 --> 00:52:12.480
You should be using Ryobi, green, and black.
00:52:12.719 --> 00:52:16.079
Um, yeah, heart, these is blue, white, black.
00:52:16.159 --> 00:52:18.639
That's kind of my color scheme.
00:52:19.360 --> 00:52:21.039
Gotta keep it on brand.
00:52:21.599 --> 00:52:26.239
Well, I'm gonna make mine practical tip for this episode, the 3A scratch it.
00:52:26.960 --> 00:52:30.079
That's that's probably one of the best things I've added.
00:52:30.480 --> 00:52:32.000
Yeah, stolen it from you.
00:52:32.079 --> 00:52:32.239
Yeah.
00:52:32.400 --> 00:52:38.480
Well, like so the first shop I was at, there was like one aller inch that you had to find in the way exchange jobs.
00:52:38.639 --> 00:52:40.880
That was a job sign, so we're changing jobs daily.
00:52:40.960 --> 00:52:43.199
Yeah, so you had to track it down across the shop.
00:52:44.400 --> 00:52:45.199
It's a big shop.
00:52:45.360 --> 00:52:47.119
I'm a one-man shop and I got four of them.
00:52:47.280 --> 00:52:47.599
Thanks.
00:52:47.760 --> 00:52:49.760
Yeah, we we have a nursing machine now.
00:52:49.920 --> 00:52:52.880
I mean, wait, yeah, you got keep that.
00:52:53.199 --> 00:52:57.840
Wait, they uh stop going interaction with the city so I'll get ready a little sooner.
00:52:59.519 --> 00:52:59.840
Yep.
00:53:00.079 --> 00:53:01.599
I want to demonstrate this for you.
00:53:01.920 --> 00:53:02.559
That's nice.
00:53:02.800 --> 00:53:05.280
I like uh I mean it's a great tip.
00:53:06.079 --> 00:53:11.360
Don't have to be Milwaukee, although you know that'd be near and dear to Brad's heart being from up north.
00:53:11.440 --> 00:53:12.880
But yep.
00:53:14.320 --> 00:53:14.559
I don't know.
00:53:16.960 --> 00:53:18.320
I guess we can wrap it up, boys.
00:53:18.400 --> 00:53:24.159
So uh read some or we're we're not gonna do the whole thing, that'd be silly.
00:53:24.400 --> 00:53:26.480
But um appreciate you guys.
00:53:26.639 --> 00:53:29.840
Yeah, thanks for coming on to our first live now.
00:53:30.159 --> 00:53:31.679
Yeah, that's right.
00:53:32.320 --> 00:53:34.960
So it was beer at four.
00:53:35.199 --> 00:53:37.280
There's beer at four, that's the important part.
00:53:37.440 --> 00:53:37.840
That's right.
00:53:38.159 --> 00:53:39.280
Thanks, guys.
