"Had I got this from a customer's engineer I'd complain all week, but since I designed it it wasn't that bad." That line was pure gold. I love the videos!

Adam the content you've been putting on youtube recently is unbelievably informative and fascinating. I get the same vibes of Robin Renzetti from your videos. Big fan of your channel, keep up the great work!!

Hello Adam, my name is Daniel im a tool and die maker/ tooling engineer and i have my own tool and die company now. My point is plz keep making content your by far the best tool maker i have ever seen. The content you provided us with is absolutely priceless and your what America needs buddy. Thank you so much your a blessing to the trade!

When it comes to technical precision machining skill you're definitely one of the best if not the best on KZfaq Adam. This channel is such a breath of fresh air compared to the rest.

Excellent video and a mighty nice instrument.

I know it would be a lot of work, but you really ought to do a 'fundamentals of precision' series. I love seeing how you go about designing for making precision tools and parts.

Thanks Adam. Love your comment at 5:25. I really shouldn't have been taking a sip of coffee when I heard that.

I thought it was just Platonic but as the beard grows - and now with the head bands - I realise my feelings are different and stronger than I can control ❤.

I'm not a machinist or have any intentions of being, but I love learning (under the theory that everything ties together) and you're an excellent teacher.

You and Robin are the grinding kings of metalworking KZfaq, Great Content!

This and the peel grinding video are absolute gold. The detail in the video is superb. Grinding is a hard topic to find reliable information on. I’ve been trying to glean every bit of information Robin renzetti and Stefan gottswinter give on grinding. However neither of them cover the topics quite as thoroughly as you tend to. I greatly appreciate the education.

I don't know about you guys, but i really like this format, a project from start to finish in 1 long video. I don't expect this format every time, cause i'm sure it takes a lot of time to film & edit. Thank you for sharing!

Great video, love all the content you make. Not stuff you see everyday.

1 hour show? Thank you for Friday’s entertainment 🍺

This whole project is sooo killer. I'd love to see you offer drawings and manufacturing notes for these projects. I'd happily pay for that kind of insight into your build process.

Adam, long form content like this, full of detailed commentary, is amazingly interesting. I love the short tips and techniques videos you put out, but this, in my opinion, is your real strong suit. The construction paper illustrations, by the way, are SO clear and concise. You are a terrific instructor. Thanks as always!

Adam you're one of the most inspirational and knowledgeable channels I found on the internet. (For other viewers Rob Renzetti, Stephan Gotteswinter and Tom Lipton were my first finds.) I wish I was younger and could be your apprentice. Still so much to learn and enjoy. You made my sunday afternoon great. Thank you Adam! I'm following you as a hawk. All the best, Job

A fantastic video Adam. Your in a very small group of people producing videos with this depth of skill and knowledge. 👍

I was taught early on, if you can measure it, you have a higher chance of making it, compared to if you can't measure it. Nice video.

Lots of excellent ideas and techniques as usual, thanks Adam. Now of course I want to make one for measuring some microwave cavity parts I'm making with shallow face grooves that need a precision fit to another component. Great stuff!

The "like" was coming anyway, but you nailed it at 5.25

I work in Software, watching people solve problems in a tangible way is interesting and, ironically useful.

We used to use slightly modified Boice snap ring groove gages to measure very shallow bores, but they were good to only ~+/- .0005. Hard milling is still new to me. When I see sparks coming from an end mill, I reflexively grimace. Thanks for the great video!

I really love the chill and informative vibe of your vids Adam. Keep it going!

1) My hat is off to you. I'm just a hobby machinist who got the bug while building stuff to support my science research (now retired). As such I have met machinists who make amazing things that range from gizmos that crawl around on the ocean floor to dinguses that orbit overhead. You show the same skill and persnickityness as any of them. Bravo. 2) How in heck do you keep your shop looking like a surgical suite??

Have to say, this video has been out for over a year and I keep coming back to it just because of the incredible amount of information it gives. Most of these concepts have helped me with my own understanding and early career into Tool/Die Making and I want to say thank you very much for providing this content. Request more project videos like this whenever you have the chance, and Happy Holidays -Kyle A.

Loved it! Watched right through in one sitting with my little girl (three and a half); she wanted to play Duplo when you started the assembly section👍😁

I love these videos! Keep up the great work. As someone who just recently got into machining, I find this high precision work very interesting!

I’ll never go this small…in fact it gives me the willies thinking about it, but this is incredible work and video!

What you are doing is totally worth doing! We appreciated it immensely! Please keep the videos coming!

Adam thank you for posting this video. The work you do is like a whole different world than normal machining. It’s amazing and I can’t get enough! The precision and techniques you are showing are so cool to learn about.

This is just an hour of brilliant machining and surface grinding knowledge being shared. That most who have the knowledge would not freely share with anybody on the internet for free.

I absolutely love your videos and seeing into the high precision world (as I'm a hobby machinist). Really appreciate you taking the time to show these cool techniques, especially the 3D printed solutions since I have several printers. Super cool stuff!

Hey Adam, you are the only subscription I have bell notifications on for. Every video of yours I learn so much.

Very few videos worth an hour watch time.........this is certainly one of the few. A master at work.

Glad you don't have more videos out....! I would get nothing done.... I have no idea what you are making or what it is used for.... I enjoy the heck out of seeing your work...! Great work!!!

"Had I got this from a customer's engineer, I'd complain all week, but since I designed it, it wasn't that bad." Subscribed.

I have been in the trade for 40 years and I have managed to get by without one of those tools but makes me think about it I would like to get one of those things or better make a would like to make one you give me some ideas. Thank you for the video I enjoyed your work a lot I follow every step that makes total sense.

You are the finest machinist on KZfaq. I've watched the greats and they mention you. I am humbled and grateful for your generous contributions to the future of this high art.

Nice work Adam. That's a very nice tool. Finally, someone who can provide a well-articulated and logical explanation of their work. Thank you.

Iv seen a lot of machining videos from different people, but you by far are my favorite, a true master at his craft, and just really understands the meaning of what you’re doing and why it matters.

A lot of work, but really nice design. Thanks for sharing. Charles

Your content is amazing! Thank you for taking the time to share your knowledge and skills.

I can see that you're a thinker and you love the challenge. I can relate. I'm no high powered mathematician but I find a way. If I set my mind to something, I'm going to conquer it, period. Thanks for sharing this! Much appreciated! 🙂

This was a real treat to watch Adam. Your projects pique my interest in a way few others do. Thanks for bringing such a neat aspect of the trade to the masses. I also appreciate you stopping to chat at IMTS with a complete stranger.

love the long format video. this could have been 4 hours and i'd still watch the whole thing

That assembly part was relaxing to watch! Great job, looks amazing

I respect the unedited assembly.

Loved the video. When that screw went flying at 53:53, I felt that in my soul. I love the 3D printed tool ideas as well.

adam the gage maker! Those fiddly little screws would cause me to do something other than chuckle. Great stuff and outstanding craftsmanship. Thanks for sharing with us.

It is so nice to see someone with Your knowledge of Machining, Design and execution of said design, with the ability to explain it all in excellent detail.

Fantastic work Adam. Just wow. You're a master machinist like Robin Renzetti.

just great! Could you show a little about your lapping process for holes and round shafts

Really enjoying the content. Don’t worry about the longer format - no problems sitting through an hour if the content is this good. Always learn a lot from your processes

Adam absolutely enjoying your videos! Entertaining and informative.

Yay, a microphone! :D Thanks, that was great.

Great stuff Adam, as always. Thanks!

What a beautiful project, Adam. Thanks for making this! 👊

I've admired your work for a long time but I love the voice over: "Roughing out as much out as we can with a .6 (mm)" 😂 I watched the assembly full screen sitting at the tip of my chair. One of the best things I have seen this week and I could hardly believe that really was 10 minutes.

Thanks for the spectacular content!

Keep up the great work Adam!

You are an excellent toolmaker and you have inspired me to step up the game in my shop.

As a mechanical engineer, this is the level of precision and knowledge I aspire to achieve one day! So thank you very much for the insight every step of the way.

Thank you for your time and effort documenting this project. Hung in till the end.

Fascinating! Excellent video. Thank you!

Very cool video Adam. Thanks!

Learn so much from your stuff. Thank you.

Great video, thanks! What you’re doing is definitely worth doing, and much appreciated!

Fantastic video!

That printed variant is actually amazing. A fairly precise and very useful tool, brought well within the skills and means of many hobbyists. Thank you!

I am so excited to watch this

Fantastic! Love the deep dive and well shot machining and grinding.

I love you stuff Adam

Maaate! Time stamp 45:45. Pure machine porn. The running fit there is just beautiful! You are to modern machine tools what Clickspring is to traditional hand tools. Precision to the point of Art! Subbed!

You did a great job on this.

Thanks for the video! Your talent is inspirational.

Very Very beautiful work , every step of the way 👏. I would have EDM many of the parts but would not have been as proud of the final device. 43 years designing and manufacturing medical products. Paul

Very well edited and full of interesting discussion. Thanks!

Great video! Excellent design improvements on the gage.

Adam, I do sincerely appreciate this sort of content. Thanks ever so much for having taken the time. 👍

Really good stuff. Thanks for sharing.

love your work!

Pure Gold, thank you so much for this type of content ♥

Interesting build. We shared this video on our homemade tools forum this week 😎

This is one of fav channels. Will watch anything you put out start to finish. So much knowledge

Thank you for making these videos, they are greatly appreciated! I enjoy all the content but especially enjoy your hard milling and grinding expertise. Love to learn about this stuff! Thank you!

What you are doing is very worthwhile! I certainly do appreciate it! The attention to detail is fascinating. Thank you for sharing the video. It is truly inspiring

Exceptional work, a real pleasure to see

Outstanding craftsmanship. Love watching you work.

Very cool stuff, thanks for posting

Adam, love the content of your videos and the skills that you have are unbelievable. Your one cool dude 😎👍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Love your work Adam 👏,being a 42year old progression press toolmaker from the UK 👍🤩

You had fun with this one! Looking very good 💪💪💪

Terrific! Each of your machining ops is a class in and of itself. Thanks!

Thank you so much for your videos. I always learn a lot from them and get new ideas that I want to try.

ive already seen this 3 times its wonderful content

Adam thanks so much for your content. Normally I don’t use notifications on YT but for your videos I do. Please keep sharing your knowledge with us.

Having used a federal shallow bore gage your design seem like a dream to use. Just stellar work as usual

Thank you, Adam excellent content. Very nice metrology tool. Really appreciate you sharing, thoroughly enjoy all that you do.

Great video!
