Now we're talking. This is the old school Abom content that got my watching back in 2014. Back in the old school Motion days. Thanks Abom.

My dad has recently started watching your videos. He is an old school machinist. Everytime I mention one of your videos all he says is " Perfection, the boy was taught well " Gotta love the old timers.

The perfect thing after a long day working, come home put my feet up and watch some Abom79!

I don't want to discourage you from the CNC stuff, because it is important to learn and grown. But man I really love watching you on the manual machines. I can't even explain why I like it so much. But I think it's something about watching someone who just has it nailed down.

Back to the manual machining, love it. Happy to see the American Pacemaker running and making chips!

really enjoy seeing the job shop videos thanks

I just wanna say thank you. I learn so much watching you and others that display your craft. I pick up small hints and tips every time I watch you.

I enjoyed the back to basics Adam . Thanks for sharing the vast experience as always . Cheers Ade.

That peacemaker is like an extension of Adam haha.

I know this is boring for Adam but I love watching ‘back to basics’ work and techniques

Love the Safety Tip on not leaning over a machine in motion and your thought process.

Job shop videos are cool to watch and learn from. The CNC stuff is awesome too, but these are enjoyable

More like this please

Great to see you running the Pacemaker. Manual machining one off parts, that is where your experience shines! Thanks

Adam your a great machinist and a fantastic teacher. Keep up the good work !!!

It will never cease to amaze the precision of manufacturing with large machines. "We're within half a thou." That's an eighth of the thickness of a piece of paper if I am not mistaken.

You are doing a really good job explaining what/why you are doing a certain task. Much appreciated.

Fun to watch! Whether old school or new school it looks like it is about the skill necessary to operate the equipment correctly. Old-school slam dunks new school when it comes to filming.

classic Abom content! A simple part, but crucial when you need it. I have to make stuff like this constantly on the farm. I like to take the time to make everything perfect even if it is just gonna get welded up. It's free practice

Now that was a good one. Just like old times.

Adam, great job. Joe say no facing. So you face it anyways and cleaned up the surface, to show it was done by a professional who takes pride in their work.

So happy to see the Pacemaker at work , love the manual machining.

Due to your competence you make what you do look routine and normal. You're a nice guy who is pleasent to watch

I can watch this stuff all day.Great job Adam as always.

That's what I like, the old school stuff. Not a fan of the new equipment, but still fun to see you learn new stuff.

Thank you, Abom. Watching you has given me the confidence to tackle some of the more difficult jobs. I have learned (the hard way) there are no shortcuts to perfect work I love lathe work, it is so entimate

Great explanation of using snap gauge to measure ID, with the proper tilt. I forgot how to do that (must be that 50+ years) Thanks!

thanks Adam, i have difficulty swapping ends and matching OD....you are a champion.

I do love watching you do manual machining. Job well done Adam. Thnaks for the show.

Really enjoying watching the manual machining with the old iron, great job! Thanks for sharing keep up the good work Adam👍

What a lovely machine, it's a shame they don't make machines like this any more. Just look at the distance between the front and rear spindle bearings plus the mass of the casting, you can see that it's a really rigid machine before you even take a cut. Same as on your beautiful Monarch. Thanks for sharing, great to see.

That pacemaker is so smooth and quiet. I have a 15x72 leblond and the gearhead absolutely screams, especially above 600rpm.

It looks like you take nice care of that old lathe. I ran a few of them still in nice shape like that. You only did one thing different than I would have. Watching you was very soothing to my soul. Nice job and thanks for making and posting the vid.

I sure enjoyed your work! Thanks!

Boy...you can sure tell Adam loves his Starett tools. If he's never been on their factory tour, I'd be surprised.

This is the stuff I like. Good old fashioned job shop stuff. CNC is not my favorite.

I appreciate you making these videos 👍

I learned everything from You, including english listening 😃 For two months it was quite hard to understand content but then thanks to You I've become begginer lathe operator and discovered new knowledge base since I was able to understand english so good 😃

Back to the basics. Excellent teaching!

Thanks for taking jobs like this. And more so for sharing them.

Most excellent. I love that American Pacemaker lathe.

Wonder how many times Adam thought how did I ever function without the crane. It's a back saver

Our hoist at work was recalled. It's the 1 ton version of what you have.

American Pacemaker on the job. I'm interested to see it get shimmed up. And I hope Joe has some good luck finding a steady rest for his lathe.

I would like to see more conventional stuff again. I like your new videos too but you are a fabulous machinist with so much experience and can please show us more! greetings from Germany

Perfect explanation of why you DO NOT buy cheap tools! I've been wanting a dial indicator for years. All I have is a tabletop drill press, but there are (as you know) many other applications for dial indicators. Was thinking a Harbor Freight one might be OK, then I thought: "Nah, I'm gonna pop for a good set"! 😁

great job. Also a great lesson everything explained very clearly i'm sure I will benefit from your work. thank you for sharing Adam

Always good to hear your thoughts on the basics - nice video!

Excellent, great to see you back to some manual machining work. Lovely finish as usual. Good project, thanks for sharing.

You know, if youre avoiding doing more lathe maintenance because of content reasons id love to see you fix that gib and the other stuff you said you wanted to tweak with that pacemaker. I love seeing what all goes into making a machine accurate and reliable so thats interesting to me

Thank you Adam

I certainly enjoy these videos. It has helped me further my adventures in machining! Thank you Adam!

Mean bunch out here tonight

This is the kind of content I enjoy. Thanks !

Thanks a 79 👍🏻

As a guy with the fundamental education in machining, your method makes a lot of sense. Actually you decision to revise your plan to the later, erased my anxiety. You always make machining work such a pleasure watching. thank you very much Adam. 👍Bless your soul sir.

Thank you for the manual machining video.

I love to see the old school stuff!!

Adam at his best, I really learn loads watching these videos. The CNC stuff is interesting, but as I'm just a regular person owning something CNC will not be happening in my life and so I tend to find them not as useful - but I guess the ''sponsors'' want their stuff shown in action.

I started out with an embarrassing little lathe some years back but the engineers thought it through really well and give two steady rests for a 22” swing. It keeps my heavy equipment running, out of the garage and in the fields so it ‘pays the bills’

Thanks for the feeds and speeds, it really helps my learning process

Nice set of Starrett micrometers. Oow, and the Moore and Wright telescoping gages are good quality as well

I learn something every time. Thanks.

I ran American Pacemaker with a Tracer head on it and used templets years ago. it was a great machine

I had to chuckle a little when you were talking about facing and turning when it wasn't necessary due to the nature of it being welded into something. I do machine work for my neighbor and some other folks around here from time to time, and it's the same thing. You make it all pretty and precise, and the freakin' welders just beat it with hammers and burn it into place. Sigh.

Great to see the pacemaker in action , this is my favorite , the soothing therapy of watching metal being turned . Interrupted cuts have their appeal too , but continuous ones are asmr to an engineers ears .

Always good to see three KZfaq creators (that I watch) working together on a restoration project.

This was great Adam. I learned so much. Thank you.

For a novice like myself, this was excellent.

Nice video Adam. Sometimes it is just good to see a simple job done well. Thanks for sharing.

What a great video and what a great machine... 🙂

I love the job shop videos.

Olde school toolbox feast, Thankyou!

A nice easy job, makes me feel old, I started my engineering journey 51 years ago. Wouldn't change it for the world. I used to grease up the steady rollers every time I put them on the lathe, just a habit that seemed to make sense. Good post, thanks. Keep safe and well 👍

I’m having a hard time wrapping my head around how the telescope gauges work with flat cut ends in a round bore. Especially if the bore size differs thus making the radius different where the flat sides of the gauges would touch. Maybe I’m just overthinking it. Would certainly make sense if they were pointed on each end, but with flat ends and therefore touching the bore in two places per side with a small bore radius in between..... I can’t quite grasp the concept. Love the manual machining segments. I’ve picked up most of the very small amount of machining knowledge I have and tips about using my new mill and lathe from these videos.

I love how when you have the camera mounted on the tool, it looks like the lathe is feeding the part.

I like your channel, you work like my father and grandfather were working. We call it now in Germany the "farmer style" of working. Please be not angry with me, we also still have some of these people. Best wishes!

Thanks for sharing all of your great work!

Awesome thank you

11:35 Boy I love seeing that beefy tool post up close

Thnx for the vid. Loved every minute of it!

Thanks for sharing

Love watching the lathe work

Such a beautiful machine! 👌👌 ~ Thanks

Excellent training video

Like watching your old school job shop videos.

Nice job , thank you.

Thanks for the vid Adam

It was very nice to see how poor holding caused a problem and how you were able to fix it.

Wow! I didn't think user would ever shut up! What a knucklehead. Thanks for sharing. I enjoy your CNC videos but I can't relate. I get a lot out of your manual videos. Always enjoy them. Thanks.

I don’t do much lathe work but watching the process and the results are just therapeutic.. great video as usual..👍

Beautiful work,Adam.Thank you for your effort.

Yea😁😁 Adam doing ol'skool 😎😎

Great work!

Great video! You are the guru at the top of the mountain!

Another one that turned out great!

Those Telescope Gauges were one of the projects we had in metal-work classes. We used the spring out of a 'Biro' to make them expand.

Good content!

Muy buen trabajo maestro bendiciones para ti y tu familia un fuerte abrazo Dios te bendiga siempre.

Thanks for sharing. Great work.
