Reminded me of old black & white westerns when the hero gets the bullet removed from his shoulder by the town "Doc". That noise that brass made when it dropped into your pan ..... great idea to play catch. Great to see the love and care that goes into one of your own projects Adam. An inspiration to us all. Thank you for sharing.

Nice job Adam,keep up the good work. There is nothing more satisfying (For a machinist) to transform an ugly piece of stock into something pretty and functional.A few years back i was doing a welding job for my boss in his home and spotted two 3mt lengths of 50mm brass rod both having tapered,threaded and key slots at the end of each one,I asked what they where and he replied "Oh they are just two old prop shafts from my fathers boats that have been here for years and some day i will bring them to the scrap yard to get rid of them"........I nearly fainted at the thought of that lovely material getting scrapped. I now have enough brass rod to keep me making pretty shiny things for many years to come.

Adam, A great job! The brass insert is a nice touch so you don't scar up your shaft when steel meets steel. You get it painted/powdered coated with your "Abom79" badge on it and you will have a great welding table. Every machinist and welder will be envious! They will probably show their wives and say "Honey. I want one of those for Christmas!" Again . . . an excellent job! Have a good one! Dave

Adam that's not a piece of machinery. It's damned nice piece of sculpted metal artwork! The project is really coming together beautifully. A photo (before painting) of the completed project laid out would be fantastic! Kinda like an exploded drawing, only laid out flat. And what an SNS! 3 fer 3 on a sign of respect. Hope Elena got chocolates for Valentine's!

It's no more overkill that the rest of the build, but we like overkill. Go big or go home. Great job so far Adam. Enjoying the series.

The T handle turned out really nice. I like the fact that it tightens at 90 degrees to the shaft tube, that's an added bonus! I can't wait to see the completed project. I really enjoy your videos. You are an inspiration to all of us who enjoy to see how things are made and to build things ourselves. Thanks for sharing your knowledge with us. We really appreciate the time and effort that you put into it.

Man waiting for new episodes is worse on youtube than on regular TV. I want to see this piece completed bad. I even let a few episodes build up so I got a few hours of something to watch/listen to while I'm browsing the net. Good going Mr. Bom.

Adam, The T-handle length is perfect. A beefy handle for a beefy shaft. Leave it as is! Great video!

Hallo Adam. Der Samstag ist wieder sehr gut geworden, mit diesem Video, bin gespannt auf dein nächstes. Deine Kommentare zur Arbeit, dein Talent, einfach Super, vielen Dank. Regards Bernhard

Now that's a Man's handle, not no small delicate job. Perfect right size, you will see it is when you get the whole thing together trust me it's in the right proportion.

Adam, haven't made it to comment on one of your videos for some time, sorry! The T-handle: one word awesome! Doesn't look to be out of proportion at all. I mean look at that piece of pipe... very nice craft men's ship. You truly are a master of your trade! Your dad would be proud! Thanks for the video! All the best Phil

The t-handle is the ABOM... LOL Cant wait to see the whole thing, spinnin' and turnin' during welding ops. Great work and fun watching.

It's coming together quite nicely. This is recycling at its finest...

Hey Adam I think the massive smile of satisfaction you got when you screwed the handle in for the first time tells you that you got it just right. Looks fantastic and can't wait to see it finished. All the best. Bren.

As "Hannibal" Smith used to say; "Don't ya love it when a plan comes together." Nice work, a true thing of beauty!

That smile when you screwed it in perfectly for the first time :) That's why we do stuff! :D keep it up

Someone said it before I could.....it's a work of art!

No way in hell would I use this for a welding table! That thing's a showpiece man! Can't believe beautiful everything is coming out, hate to see any welding spatter wind up on it, haha. Gorgeous work man, can't wait to see her done.

True ABOM FASHION!! There is no such thing as overkill in your shop! Thanks for spending the time to let us follow you through your videos.

Adam, thanks again for a most informative video. Nice to see even the best have problems which they over come, the marks of a true professional.

If it looks big, that just means its ABom, which means it’s just right. Great job and I can’t wait to see this beauty all complete. Thanks for the videos and all you do for your viewers

That whole column is a work of art! The Tee handle is perfect...

I just wanted to say thank you for sharing all you know....I'm not a machinist and I don't know shit about it but I'm always curious as to how things are made. Watching your videos makes me want to change careers...then I looked into the cost of the machines you use and figured it'd be best if I stick to what I know :) . I hope you never stop making videos!

I have watched 100 of your videos since discovering you like a month ago, and I still can't describe what these videos do to me. I catch myself staring in an almost daze of fascination, I bet my mouth is open and my eyes are glazed over. There is something about it, its like the most calming thing I have ever watched. Forget an awesome sunset or the stars in the sky, I'll take this any day!

The Victor lathe is running really nice with that new starting lever Adam! Lock key is perfectly in proportion, well done!

Spaniard subscriber here, Adam. First of all, my apologies for any mistakes, as English is not my mother tongue. Speaking about today's video, I love how the T-handle turned out and I find that its proportions fit perfectly within the whole project. It even makes it look like a submarine! The USS Abom, perhaps?

Awesome. I love the handle. Can't wait to see this table finished. Keep it up and keep sharing.

The price of this table is going up, the buyer will need to have deep pockets! The ratios of the "T" handle/table are just right! Your design and build of this project is high class art! I wouldn't worry about "overkill" because a friend repairing a log loader for me a long time ago said, "just remember, you can't build it too stout" and a he was correct. As I see it 'Abom Stout' isn't too stout, it's AWESOME! Thanks for another great video! ....13

As a 32 year old apprentice I very much appreciate your vids Adam. They are very helpful and thanks for taking the time to do them. And the bit in the video where you are giving your "personal opinion" at 31:58, do more of it. Your opinion is highly valued to me mate. ;o) Cheers.

That Rotary welding table is heavy duty all the way. :-)

Hey Adam, The T-handle is Great!! This is truly a Awesome Rotary Welding Table and I cant wait to see it with the oiler cups installed. Matt C.

Just beautiful, Adam. The design, the functionality, appearance, and even the length of the Tee-handle. Superlative.

Adam, I love the honest way you do these vids. I often make "soft" tooling on the fly. And no matter how good it ends up, I often have little mental oops's along the progression. Your vids portray an active dynamic mind at work. And they are so much better, because you don't edit out the minor "dangits" we make along the way. Phil.

What a great Project this has turned out to be.Please keep on doing what you do so well! All your video's are great. Looking forward to seeing the finished Table with the Abom79 Emblenm installed on the column. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us all.

Adam, all I have to say is, pretty darn sweet! thank you for all you do, you are an inspiration to the trade and the young folks making a start in the art of machining and fabrication.

Sure is going to be heavy duty! It's going to look great. It is such good work you are going to have to sign it for posterity. I know you are going to install your logo but you need to give it a personal touch someplace ie. Made by Adam booth. Maybe dedicate it to your dad. It's going to be around for along time. Hell if you have kids you might pass it along. We hear you talk about your dad's and granddad's tools with such love and appreciation. You need to start looking toward the future. No one is around forever!!!!

Loving this project Adam. The attention to detail is a testament to your skills. Can't wait to see the table finished.

This has been a very enjoyable series. It's cool to watch the craftsmanship and the attention to detail that you put into your projects. Thanks for sharing your work.

Looks great. Leave handles long. As you get older, you'll need the extra leverage....this thing is going to last forever!

At first I wasn't sure about the length of the handle, but after seeing it assembled I think I like it!

Abom approved T handle.. Overkill because he can. looks great perfect length Adam.

That handle is BEAST the whole assembly looks great so far can't wait to see it completed

The entire pedestal assembly is done so well that it looks like a piece of jewelry. Bravo!

Hey Adam, Just a great job! Love your method of plugging the handle with the brass seat. Great fit! Am sure your final assembly will result in absolutely the best welding table ever fabricated! Ciao! G

Impressive! You are the best machinist on the Tube.👍🙏

Your getting there buddy! It's definitely my kinda build Adam! After the paint and polish of your medallion you'll have your "Shop Trophy". Stellar job ma!!! Razor!

I love how you show your whole process, including your "Oh, fudge" moments. Superb.

Beautiful work. I love how that t-handle came out at 90 degrees! I look forward to seeing the rest of the build!

Adam We got a new Smart HD TV yesterday, and I just watched this episode again on KZfaq TV format. Wow !! The HD is fantastic, and the sound from the Rode mic pops right out of the sound bar that came with the TV. I can't wait to see how good the finished welding table will look. It's like being right there in you workshop. Regards

The mother of all T handles.

I have to respond to the folks that don't like your videos. Don't watch if you don't like, very simple. I, being a newby to this world, love the way you present, patiently and in great detail. I really like both your and Tom's tool gathering from the flea market as I don't have access to one where I live. Great job on the table and my opinion the handle is perfect. As I recently told Tom, you, Tom, Jodi, Keith and SV seeker have cost me a crap ton of money with a bridgeport, clausing colchester, migs, tigs, presses welding table (I'll email you a pic of mine) all purchased in the last year. Thanks Man.

A little overkill never hurt anyone! I love it :)

"what you guys think, is this key overkill?" asks the man building a welding table that can easily take a Mac truck on top. Adam, the whole thing is overkill!! That key fits in nicely with the theme. It is a work of art for sure.

It's a work of art, the whole thing. That T handle is a jewel. I'm glad you left the whiteboard up, it's like a cave drawing turning into the space shuttle, lol. This is one the best series that i've seen on the 'tubes...thanks for letting us join you on the way!

I love watching you cut threads Adam! You make it look so easy.

That's a work of art, particularly the radius on that lock post. Can't wait to see it all together, it's certainly built to last.

"Project overkill"? Well, you know what Tom says: Nothing too strong ever broke. Nice project, Adam. It's been fun watching everything come together. I imagine you can't wait to start using it. I'm still looking forward to see how you use that piece of copper. Well, I just yesterday brought home my first lathe, a South Bend heavy 10, so I'm going to go play with it now. Joe

The proportions look great. Adam scale.

Machine work and art work at the same time. Looks great!

the proportions of the t-handle look perfect, especially when it's mounted in the big tube

Outstanding Adam. And that line up at 90'. Well that's all the love and care you have put into it paying you back :)

I think that T handle is perfect. Just remember the size of the table. You will be reaching under that to tighten the handle. You will be very happy you left it 10". One of the cool things about this project is it shows all the little steps it takes to make a simple T handle. There is a lot of machining that goes into simple things we don't think about. That smile on your face when you tightened it up says it was exactly what you wanted. Perfect!

Adam great looking rotory table so far. Oh and at 30:20 when your sirens went by I had the sirens close by that was strange hard to tell which was which.Back to the rest of vdieo . keep up the great work & video's. Happy Valentine's Day !

Another fine example of AMERICAN machine work; this is a terrific instructional video and should be shown in machine shop classes arround the country... that is, if there are any left! After our shop teacher retired, the school decided that this program would be dropped from the ciriculum. What a disservice to the community.

Looks great, beautifully proportioned and to have it lock at 90 degrees is a real bonus.

Nice Tee handle. Got to be the best welding table on the planet. Nice stuff from skilled hands.

Just how I thought it should look, Awesome Really have enjoyed this series. thank again.

Hello there Adam Particularly liked the Brass-tipped anti-mar feature as well on the T-Handle.Did not get it at first, but now we appreciate that bit of extra work Tapping and fitting that slug. Will remember that when we need to use the idea. Guess the size of the "T" suits the Man. Great workmanship all round. All the best

Hi Adam, the overkill t-handle matches the whole project. You should name that table Overkill, it will be able to handle any future projects you might encounter without ever straining. Very nice look overall.

MAN! You mean I gotta wait till the last one is finished? I hate a mini series. Especially when it's getting to the best part!!!

The handle looks like a tool made at NASA or a nuclear launch key or something. Very cool. Can't wait to see the finished product.

Nice T-Handle. I'd say, if you are happy with it, then that's all that counts. Nice to see the project coming together. Quite a showcase of your machining skills.

I really like your project, thanks for sharing it with us! T Handle looks great and I can tell you are happy with it too -Mark

Another top notch video. Well done young man, Scott

Looks good. Nice proportions. Can't help but think it looks like a mini submarine the way you had it on the table at the end! :)

Adam -Great series of videos. Incredibly well conceived and executed project. Frankly the table is almost too good to use. Looking forward to the final assembly. Chris

Hi Adam: I think that you hit the mark on the proportions for the handle in reference to the pedestal and by association the rest of the table. This project is on the last rows. great video, thanks for sharing.

It looks like a submarine on the last view ! I take a real great pleasure to see you working with such precision, knowledge of the metal work and love of your job. Congretulation Adam ! can't wait to see the final step ....

Looking good Adam. Thanks for sharing!

Beautiful work as always. Thank you for the time you put into your channel. A thought on the diameter of the brass wear pad. Over time it's going to mushroom and when your great, great, grandson (or daughter) needs to remove the T handle to refurbish the bearings, the brass pad will bind in the threads and try to unscrew itself from the shaft. Maybe a left-hand thread on the brass plug? (Just kidding :) )

OUTSTANDING !!!! What a nice piece of work !! , can't wait to see the finished product . Great videos , Bob k

Anything you do in the workshop is always professional, I enjoy watching your videos

Beautiful art work just beautiful, the pic of a very satisfied customer at 41:01 proves it.

Excellent build sir! One of those tools built in the real world meant to last more than a generation. Harder and harder to get equipment or tools that last more than one project. This welding table is built stout like your Monarch! Also there's always something mesmerizing about shiny freshly machined brass! Beautiful. Keep it coming man! Matt

I am sure your Dad and Grand Dad would be proud.

Looks terrific! Can't wait to see it finished. Cheers, John

The tee handle is Perfect !!!

Perfect. Can't wait to see the finished product.

Hi Adam looks good to me. Thanks for letting me see inside your workshop. You have been inspiration for me to get my lathe up and running Guy

Adam, it looks great! Massive, strong, and really cool that it lined up like that. You must be living right! The way it spun in so smoothly was neat too. -- Mike

Looking great Adam. That's a million dollar welding table.

YOU'RE BUILDIN A MASTERPIECE OF EQUIPMENT THERE BROTHER, YOU ALREADY HAVE A TON OF HOURS BETWEEN EDITIN AND THE SHOOTIN,, LOOKIN PRETTY SWEET

That's a good looking handle. Cant wait to see the rest of the build. Keep it up!

adam one HD welding table one of a kind over the top great work ,great video 1=10.

Really nice job Adam, that brass plug was a nice touch.

It is a joy to watch your work. Length of handle perfect for big hands like ours.

Looks "PERFECT" do not change anything !!!!!!

Adam, I think it looks great just like it is. Can't wait to see the finished table, keep up the fine videos.

I think proportions are perfect, looks right and purposeful. Watching with interest as I have to be honest as I've never heard of a rotary welding table before.

Hi Adam, Excellent man! Everything is very well built and perfectly proportioned, I am really enjoying this project and looking forward to seeing all come together! Thanks buddy! Ray
