Your videos are so relaxing and entertaining because they don't cram a bunch of loud, annoying, stinky, music down everybody's face. - I love to hear the smooth sound of that fine running lathe, - that's music to my ear.

You are a class act. All American. Excellent machinist. Thanks for the schooling.

Thanks Adam. I've spent my life as a machinist and never seen that front end caliper measuring trick before. I learned something today as I always do when watching your videos.

Hi. My dad and step dad were both journeyman Machinist. They are long dead now. I don't know why exactley I watch these videos oh, but I'm sure it's because of them. I just wanted to say that to thank you for making them, because your work honers them and there and work ethic.

I agree with Brian Streufert the video was great but the amount of realness and how humble you are is awesome keep up the great work and keep the vids coming thanks...

I like the way you sneak up on your final size. Getting close and halfing what is left. Your videos are a pleasure to watch and I'm still learning from them. Thanks for posting.

I am a self taught machinists. I live in Gulfport Ms. I have a Jet 1460 lathe. Since I have subscribed to your channel my skills have improved dramatically. Thank you for sharing all of your videos I look forward to the next one.

damn, I wish I would have found videos like this back when I started my apprenticeship. You really spell out the basics pretty clearly. Great video Adam!

The man who doesn't make mistakes hasn't been born yet Adam, so you've got nothing at all to worry about. Really enjoy your vids. Thanks

Nice video, lots of good technique. Thanks for talking about the speeds, feeds and depths you are running, that really helps us amateurs figure out what we should be trying.

Brother, as long as you keep making videos, I'll continue watching. I don't do machine work, but you make it so easy to watch! Much respect.

I'm not a machinist, and kind of just stumbled onto this.I don't know if this guy is great at what he does, but I like his attitude and demeanor.

Another triumph! My big day was wiring in new circuits for a new lathe and high hp saw. A ‘big bearing’ for me is a 3.85” axle bearing for the bulldozer roller guides. The factory bearing surface never has adequate interference Press fit so after watching your channel I decided to buy the 4180 steel and do my own roller guides and press fit bearings. Hopefully they last another 20 years.

Like the mirror finish You get with those inserts I jumped back when those chips were flying at the camera Enjoyed every minute You do a Great job machining those pieces

I am a 65 year old new machinist with a Nardini fast trace. I am doing a tapered bar from an 8" stock. This video was a huge help. Your patient teaching method is very appreciated. The copper soft jaws are easier than sandpaper jaws and look to hold better. I have never used a 4 jaw chuck as I thought it would be difficult. You make it look easy and get a better grip on the work. Thanks so much for taking the time to post this.

I was surfing for wood lathe work and stumbled across this Roller Lathe Work Part 1 and was hooked. Part 2 was just as absorbing! Great camera work and great job explaining what you were doing. The indicator demo was perfect. Thanks for the videos.

it is great to see you taking so much pride in your work that is one thing this country is lacking in that is what it will take to make America great again

I thoroughly enjoy your vid's. I learned from watching my father work in his basement workshop and note your style is very similar to his. He was raised in Buffalo and worked WW2 in Detroit.

Thank you for uploading these videos, they are very entertaining. I learn a lot from them. Keep up the good work.

god this brings back memories...good ol "sugarbear" smith n his metal working class back in high school...this makes me wish i had stuck with it n had gone into that field instead of the military then into being a damn ol bus driver. you do great work my friend
