"are those rings bothering you?" LOL you read our minds. Great interaction with the audience...

I own and run a shop and I learn new things and confirm methods through Abom79 and other channels. Adam I want you to know I appreciate these videos. They're not as easy to make as many people assume.

This guy is the bob Ross of metal work. There was a joy of painting episode when bobs son took the show. Besides not being as charming as dad, I noticed how he didn’t have the same skill in empathizing with the audience. He often would get in the way of the camera and just overall not give the feeling like we were in the room with him, like bob was a master at. In these vids with abom , I feel in the room with him.

love a abom surprise during the week

I love that Adam doesn't just make videos that entertain, but that he also educates everyone too.

I'm raised in metric so always looking at you youtubers talking in imperial has bothered me for a long time. so frustrated using dial indicators on my town and woodhouse lathe to know the measurements because the dials are all imperial. but couple of weeks ago I started using the dials for the rough work and it worked OK and now I'm getting really comfy by using them and starting to understand and feel what you guys are talking about. helped me a lot on feeds and speeds, talking about depth of cuts and trying to mimic the chips! thanks mate!

man you are a great machinist and a excellent teacher I been watching your channel for awhile now and have learned alot iam a mechanic on a 6000 acres farm and a local machinist passed away and my boss bought all his equipment at a estate sale he had many many years worth of equipment in his shop two giant lathes and other big machines have always been interested in what you do and was hoping they would keep it but sadly they bought it to flip and make money on they kept some stuff like a milling machine and some saws but any way you do a great job and very much enjoy your channel and really enjoy when you work on automotive things

I'm only a shade tree machinist-ish guy, so, I'm always amazed watching how easily you do this 4 jaw indicating. Love your work and how down to earth your explanations are.

I reckon of all your videos I’ve watched; this to me was the most like my Dad trying to teach me how to be “ accurate “ Being “ on the money “ as my Dad would call it, is your best trademark ! Well done 👍

I am not a machinist but I do enjoy your videos.

A-HA! I got a v-block just like that when I bought my lathe. All kinds of random old stuff came with it, so I had no idea what it was for. That's one less mystery tool. Great video as always Adam- you're one of the few I never miss.

I'm a retired carpenter but have always been impressed by machinist. Being a hobbyist, the biggest lesson I'm still trying to learn is to take your time and be patient. Your patience shows with your accuracy, that shows a "true" machinist. Thanks for the video, JB.

That Monarch is one smooooooth machine. Adam uses it with what my machinist father used to call "finesse."

I have to join the chorus and say that I will never miss one of your videos. You are good at what you do and if Abomb says it’s so, it’s carved in stone. Please keep em coming. You’re the best. 😎👍👏

I sure enjoy your machining videos, Adam. I run a tiny one man shop, doing short runs of small parts. All my machines are small ones I got for my retirement business. Used to work in job shops, and many years ago I learned how to cut Acme threads on a Monarch BB, similar to what you have there. That was the only time I ran that machine, and seeing yours brings back good memories of my old machinist friend showing a then young machinist a few tricks. After many years of machine work, it's fun to watch you, and I like seeing that someone does things the old way, like I did them. I learn a new trick from you here and there too! I found your channel from watching some of This Old Tony and Joe Piezynski vids. Your name shows up in the comments sometimes. On Oxtools and Keith Fenner, too. You're a bunch of popular guys. :)

It seems that you have decided to talk to us rather than at us, when you start expecting responses you might want to see someone about that ;-) As always, a pleasure to watch you work TA!

I love to tone you have while you work. Very purposeful and your patience makes the video content relaxing. I watch your videos whenever I need to calm myself down. You should be the "Metal Whisperer"

Adam, Kieth Fenner Esq, may hold the championship belt but in my mind you are the 4 Jaw king. The way you centred that cross feed nut I almost missed it when I blinked :-)

Thank you Adam for all that you show us.

I find it soothing to watch a master perform his craft.

As a retired engineer I enjoy watch these videos.

A pleasure to watch an accomplished machinist work. I really enjoy your videos!

Mid-week Abom79 video, what a treat! Thanks, Adam.

Learned lots over these three videos. Thanks

I have a bar just about like that - carbide. I had a deep bore and I put a V cut slot down the inside - it fit inside - and super glued it to the length of the extended bar. Now 20 years later, the v bar to keep the long bar from flapping in the wind and shattering the bar when cutting poor quality cast iron. Hard spots in it. Love the series.

You my good sir are a very talented and skilled machinist. 😊 I find myself in awe while watching every video, when seeing your beautiful work!

Another priceless vídeo. Very good. Thanks a lot Adam for the time you spend making these fantastic vídeos to us.

...amazing how easy it is to spend time watching the diligence with which you work. Just a hobby machinist, but its a pleasure to watch and learn.

Great video Adam! Thanks for sharing

Adam as always enjoyed the video. Nice edit on the end of part two. Like the measuring transference from the granite, to the paper, on to the machine, then to the part. Great tool application, many people wonder why so many tools, great example of the need of specialized tools to make work precise and more easily accomplished. Admire you effort and instruction, Philip

Lots of good useful instruction about indicating and indicator setups

Hi Adam . Love the video a real master class in indicating and machining. Thanks for sharing and keep um coming .

Thank You!, the rings were bothering me...LOL

i´ve been enjoying your content since -13, and your videos are still the ones i Watch first of all the new stuff.Thank you Adam.(even before click spring:)

Thanks! I always learn something from your videos. Much appreciated!

Great presentation Adam, keep the stuff coming. Many thanks.

Good video. You were channeling your inner instructor.

"A little each time and before you know it you'll be there" That´s very fine wisdom there ;-) As always, amazing video!

Adam, when I am doing soft jaws, I just use a piece of masking tape to hold all the shim stock pieces to my work. That way you don't have to worry about stuff falling so much! Great videos, thanks!

Love your videos, Adam. A suggestion for something I always do when boring. I set up an air gun on the back end of the spindle blowing air through to clear the chips out of the job so avoiding re-cutting of the chips and marking up my bore. It also stops the chips getting into the spindle. You don't need a lot of air, I run around 10-20psi, just enough to clear the chips, angle the gun to get it flowing around the bore. This works really well with cast iron, brass, bronze, etc. Always wear your safety glasses though.

Nice work Adam. I have not seen that 671 attachment before, it looks handy. Thanks for sharing that.

I really enjoy watching you work the lathe. Better than HBO ha ha ha

I swear that I learn more from these videos than I did from actual education. Every one is like a masterclass.

Very nice video Adam thanks for sharing.

Very nice job and wonderful craftsmanship.

Thank you for not using music over the machine work. Twas bummed when Senior AvE started doing that.

Tak tomu se říká fortelná práce! Well done !

thanks again Adam.

Enjoyed these videos. I'm learning.....thanks

Thanks Adam..... we like watching you like filming...

Watching these videos, are like what I assume being on crack is like, very addictive. The family pic at the end was great.

Incredible education watching your presentation.. Bravo again!

Great teacher. Love learning from you. Wish I had you at college cheers james from uk

That rascal is starting to look like a part Adam, nice work. Always appreciate the videos, always instructive, always entertaining.

great work as always

Yes, those rings were bothering some of us, lol, love watching you work!

By first machining job involved mostly precision boring on a lathe, and using a dial indicator on the cross slide made things much easier, since they didn't have DRO on those machines. There was one that was graduated in half-thousandths, so each tick on the dial meant a thousandth of diameter, much easier to keep track of.

Adam I do a lot of internal grinding and what I use is a dial bore gauge with a tenth reading indicator you can't go wrong I've been using them for 25 years as long as your micrometer is calibrated. Nice job man:)

Hi Adam, Another great video. I would like to see you turn something at the next Bash. You can only see so much on the videos. You are an excellent instructor. Bill from Seattle.

thanks for the show . learned a lot from you.

Ahh, really enjoyed Adam .. Great work ! Thumbs up..

Just subscribed this week. Really enjoy your work and explanations.

Thank you very much I learn a lot from you you get a big thumbs up

Good show again.

Nice work mate, enjoyable

I machine hence I am.... Just love your work Abom.

nice work as usual, thanks for the video...

I always keep modeling clay around for setting soft jaws like that. I put a little ball on the face and the copper sticks to it pretty well. Makes it easier than trying to hold them in place.

Looking really good.

Adam, Thanks for the "boring" video! (LOL) Seriously, it was very interesting and informative! Thanks! Have a good one! Dave

Looking good. It's almost done :)

Very nice work thanks for sharing.

I feel your pain on that damn 800 pin. It seems like the odds are always stacked against you in those situations. At least you can get a little chuckle and not take it too serious. Nice looking part so far, looking forward to the final vid.

Brilliant keep them coming

Nice work

indicating like a boss !

you are an indicating master wow !

That's what that thing is. I inherited my great grandfather machinist box. There not much in there. But that round thing you called a tip set is in there. But it only has four pieces

I really appreciate how you are able to hold on to things. Many of the KZfaq videos show the machinist picking up their shims, soft jaws, dial indicator tip, work piece, or hand tool (file, micrometer, etc.) from the chip pan, cross-slide or floor. You've got good hands - or maybe you've just edited those things out of the videos? ;-) Either way it's a good example of what to do.

That lathe is on sweet piece of equipment.

You're an efficent ironworker Mister Adam!

Very interesting. So if you are confident in the use of the telescoping gauges the pin gauge could give you fits when they are damaged or even if they are tarnished. We never ran into that close of tolerance in the masonry trade. There was some times when we had to be very careful on some refractory fittings in kilns where tongue and groove fittings had to pass by to seal the heat from kiln cars. You had to figure in expansion under heat. Oh well, that's another trade and yet could be a similar problem. Greg

I like that you call your collection of boring your stash.

C'mon Adam... you could have taken that hub mic to the belt sander & knocked the corners off it to let it fit that bore... 😂😂😂😂😂 😎👍☘️

Are these rings bothering ya? Cracked me up! Love your style. Looking forward to part 4 :)

nice job

Suggest if you had some space between the chuck and the inner side of the job, you could put all 4 brass shimming peaces held by an rubber band. Once secured in the chuck, yo7 can pull the rubber band with a pair of long nose pliers. Or picked up by a hook. Just a thought.

Skeeeeeeew more abom!

As a 70 year old man,I remember my grandad nickel bump his feed dials.Must be an old but proven way to get small amount at a time..

Is it strange that your voice is in my head while I'm on the lathe or mill?

Poster putty will hold all 4 soft shims in place and will squeeze out upon clamping. A very small pinch of it is all that is needed.

Amazing work. Looking forward to seeing how you cut those grooves linking the oil groove to the end. Wondering if something that course can be done as you do threading and if it will have to be done from the oil groove out towards the face...

Good looking work. It was nice seeing the little right-angle indicator attachment again. Always good to be be shown or reminded of different ways to indicate.

I'm looking forward to seeing your method for the longitudinal oil groove. I think I know.

good video Adam. thank you. I'm surprised with the tolerances you produce, that you don't work for the space industry. I really enjoy your videos. I learned to use a CNC and a le blond growing up, but today I don't have access to those machines. I now work in the computer cooling systems industry. we still have our tolerances, but nothing compared to yours. keep the cool videos coming and be safe. Oh, by the way can you do more automotive parts videos ?

super precise job. Adam, is it possible to show us also how you do adjust the height of the lathe tools, boring bars, parting off, turning tools? Thank You

About the soft jaws, I know you did one but for some kinda emergency situations you can use brass or copper pipes; 1 1/4 inch pipe with a vertical cut will cover the product almost 350 degrees.

After doing lots of assembly on my Harleys....a snug slip fit like this, is often a 1/2 thou.....and that's by the service manual....piston pins...crank bearings and bushings....

Nice!

Hey adam when are you going to open your school and start accepting people for your machining clinics? Just like Justin from the fabrication series does for tig welding processes. You are a great teacher!
