and in 1000 years, some machinist finds this thing in the back of a garage (in perfect working condition), and is entirely confused, having never heard of Abom brand Rotary Welding Tables, much less 79 models of them.

A well done one of a kind welding table, A flimsy as you built it I don't expect it to last much longer than the Pyramids have.

That's one of the best youtube project series I have ever watched! You did great work Abom, gotta give it to you man!

APPLAUSE! The chrome logo is amazing on black. Many thanks Adam tto have shared this project with us. Great job.

Not gonna lie, I almost shed a tear when you painted that column. It would have looked so good with the black table and base and that shiny metal column.

Adam, this is beyond offshore expectations. 300 years from now people are still enjoying welding with this table. Build forever! Adam, I like your style and your personality. I think you are a true person and a great guy. When I'm done with my work I relax and watch yours. After looking at your videos I only got one concern and that is your weight. Living the live just as I'm doing with the same result. I like to enjoy your videos past my retirement and I'm 12 years older. So maybe, as a distant fríend, maybe water instead of a soft drink for starters? I like watching your adventures as long as I live so don't be insulted. Warm greatings from Holland. Best regards, Job

I know I'm about five years late but couldn't help but comment. What a wonderful series started watching yesterday morning and just finished. That is a tool that will make life better on a lot of jobs and will last a couple lifetimes. Great job and beautiful tool. Thanks for taking us along.

Just spent the entire day watching you build your weld table project. I felt like I was right there in your shop watching you. Congratulations on a job well done Abomb.

Adam, this was a fun project to watch again 8 years later.

Looks awesome Adam. The chromed badge just sets it off. And bonus, no-one can get it out the back window. Thanks for sharing it with us!

Great time watching the 17 segments. Adam you make us all feel that we are a part of the build. Again great time watching the complete build. Lookng forward to many more hours of enjoyment.

That thing is more appropriate in the Louvre than in a shop. As always, absolutely beautiful work and extremely well documented. You have no idea the service you do the world in preserving the art of manual machining for generations to come. Without people like you, it would soon be a lost art. Thank you.

Total respect to your skills and ingenuity. That table will be discovered in 150 years still spinning as smoothly as butter.

Thanks for sharing this series. I don't think anyone could see the table and not say "Wow!" It's heavy duty, precision, and gorgeous.

Looks fantastic! Very good work my friend!

Looking over old videos....awesome build on that table wish I had one...lol

There is a primary lesson for me out of watching this series, and that is one of patience. Not the patience required to sit through the entire series in just a few days, but the patience you exhibit when planning your approach and in doing the doing stuff. Patience that one can most readily apply to a personal project, rather than a customer one. But man, I would have been rushing through step and screwing up 1/2 the time. Also the ease in which guys deal with inches and fractions of, my gear is all set up in metric and 100th of a mm, is very different to dealing with thou's of an inch. I had my conversion micrometer out trying to follow some of your measures. So cool. Thanks for the lessons.

Adam, It's a great looking turntable. It's good to see someone who pays attention to detail and cares not only that it functions properly but looks great too! The young guys watching certainly learned a great deal from you. Thanks!

Adam i have watched every video you have produced and I have to say that watching this series has been very enjoyable. The look on your face was worth the viewing alone, You have the look of a kid in a candy store with twenty bucks in his pocket. It is inspiring to see the enjoyment that can be had at creating a tool for the shop that looks and works well. Thank you for sharing the outstanding Rotary Welding Table series.

Thank you Adam for these great videos from your machine shop, I have been enjoying them a lot. Compared to many videos I follow on KZfaq I have to say that you stick out from the rest by showing your Bozo´s. These Bozo´s are actually how you (We) learn from your (our) mistakes and you are not afraid to show them to us followers even though you are professional in what you are doing. Congratulations to your finished welding table. It is awesome!!!. It has been very educational to watch this project. BR Jan from Sweden

Now you need to build a welding table you can use. That one is WAY too nice to weld on. It's a show piece - nice job!

Adam, Absolutely.!. Awesome.!.!. Job & Video.!.!.!.

Adam you must be NUT'S to weld on a piece of art like that, put it in a glass case. Stunning build Adam ,well done.

Wow, I've just finished bingewatching all the 17 parts. Your eye for detail and your sense for perfection is ashtonishing. I admire your skills and perseverance. It was a joy to watch you creating it.

This must be the nicest welding table in the world. Well done Adam

Congrats on the final episode... Looks great Adam ... I am sure that this will last for generations ... Looking forward to the next build/project.

That's the money shot there at 28:20. Smooth action, a bit of old and new, and those oilers! I watched 16 videos to see that 20 seconds. Well worth it just for that - Thank you Adam.

Thank you for posting this. I enjoyed every episode, and how you explained how you came to the conclusion of how and why you made the parts the way you did. Great job, awesome attention to detail, and definitely some pride in your work! Nothing better than creating something from our own imagination, and then seeing it finalized, and working. Again, awesome job, and I am happy I stumbled across your page. I especially like how you mentioned all the people who donated, helped, had ideas, and sent you some of the tools you used. That says a lot about how you appreciated the people who may not have been involved in the build, but did contribute in a small way. A big thank you and hello from Alberta, Canada : )

Hi Adam, You did a beautiful job making a useful well built tool that will last almost forever. Good on you, Harvey

Awesome project! I thoroughly enjoyed watching each and every episode. Thanks Adam.

Just spent my Saturday binge watching this here series... I know I'm 5 yrs late to the dance but happy that I'll be able to watch again several more times in the next 5 yrs to come...!!! Like what you did on your final spring clasp on the copper leads... I was wondering if that little spring thing would even come close to holding the copper together over a sustained time period... I appreciate that you had stated "mock-up", but your final completed task are always solid accomplishments... So glad your GA buddy Kieth Rucker turned us on to you Sir.. Again Great Job... Thank You...

This was so great to watch from start to Finnish. Adam, you sir are a true craftsman! thank you!.

nothing better than simplicity. Thank you Adam

Too nice for the shop...nice coffee table for your living room.

I'd forgotten about the aluminum feet for the Victor until we got the ground level view of them. It reminded me that it's something that I need to get get done. Thanks for the table videos and also for that project which I now have to revisit.

I have not seen any round welding tables on youtube !!! Original and beautiful !!!

Table turned out great Adam.

Great job Adam I hope you will continue with 2 videos I certainly look forward to them every Saturday.

Nice one Adam!, she looks the BOM!

Need to smash a bottle of champagne on it and do some welding or brazing... great job and thanks for sharing, it's been so much fun watching. We'll all be here for the next project!

Congratulations on completing a great project, and thank you for sharing it. I actually held my breath while watching you tap the second hole. Had it been me the tap would've snapped..

excellent job Adam. I could see the pride in your eyes and the tone in you voice.Thanks for all your excellent videos.Brad

It's been a fantastic series, thanks.

"It's a little stout" is the understatement of the series! That table is just fantastic, thanks Adam. I've recently subscribed and I've just spent how many hours watching this whole project. Loved it all! I love the way you work. Off to find out what else you've been up to now. Thanks, Teig.

The black, chrome, brass, and copper remind me of the look of an old steam engine, when function and looks were as important, great job adam

Just finished watching the entire series for the build and I must say your welding table came out AWESOME! I really enjoyed watching this build go from design to final assemble, thanks for making the videos.

I just finished watching this build series , GREAT TABLE! A lot of thought , time and care went into this project it will last several lifetimes.

I know this fellows they build Frame Machines and they paint outside with waterborne paint. Thanks for your videos you allways doing a great job !!!

Great job and video series on the welding Table

Adam, that is one classy table. Get it messy fast so that it doesn't end up in the house.

I did the marathon. I watched this whole series while I was out of work, sick today. Awesome job Adam! I've just found your channel and I'm loving it. I'm not a machinist but I love anything mechanical. I'll be watching a few videos a day until I'm caught up. I know it'll take a while. Keep up the good work!

Awesome. If it were mine it would be next to my recliner with a lamp, beer and remote:)

Very nice project. Congratulations on the finish.

Well done Adam! It's something to be proud of.

The lifting plug would make a nice breechblock if you ever get the hankering to build a cannon. :) I could feel my face curling into a big wide smile when you unlocked the shaft and took the top for a spin. Form *and* function! What an excellent project...it's been a pleasure and an honor to watch it come together. Awesome job Adam!

Your great, great, great, great grandkids are gonna love that thing. They might even end up in court squabbling over who gets it. Great build Adam!

Adam, I'm not in your business, but I stumbled upon your channel a few weeks ago. I watched all episodes and enjoyed every minute. I respect your attention to details - that's what separates you from the pack. Can't wait to watch your other projects. Joe

sat and watched all 17, that is the most over engineered thing of wonder I've ever had the pleasure of, just because I can at its finest. nice....

Sad to see the end of an awesome series. Looking forward to the next! cheers adam.

I just finished watching the last installment on this build. i didn't comment on any of the other ones because I couldn't offer any advice. The little bit I know about machining on those various machines I learned from you. Thanks for putting this together and showing novices like myself how it's done the right way. This welding table would fit with my living room decor just fine. BEAUTIFUL. Thanks for what you do.

Finally after 3 1/2 months 17 videos later 1000 lbs of steel bronze and copper come together with a watchmakers precision forming a table that any NASA engineer would be proud to have Great job Adam

A great testament to your skill and vision Adam. So glad you shared the journey with us, it was a great watch. Did someone once say "Nothing too strong ever broke"? ;-) This is a fine example of that. Thanks again.

Simply awesome! Chris

The gloss black paint, shinny chrome and the brass oiler's give it that old school look. Very nice. Awesome job, looking forward to your next project. Steve W.

Besides watching and enjoying the progress and the challenges of a slightly design on the fly and concept, it is great to see all this come together for you Adam. On the painting side, you should look into an HVLP gun and pay closer attention to keeping the gun closer as you go along for best atomization of a finish.

Adam I don't know if you read old post of yours but I have watched every one of the rotary welding table video's. Enjoyed every one of them. You are truly an accomplished machinist.

Dear Adam., I found all of the parts of this series exceptionally interesting and enjoyable. I am sure that you find the welding-table a tremendous aid in your shop, but above all else I trust you are proud and pleased with your project. Excellent :-)

I like to see a person take pride in their work - this one certainly deserves it. Good job Adam!!

Wow nice job Adam turned out awesome!

Hi Adam , greetings from Ireland. I watched, learned and enjoyed all the videos in this series , I admire your precision and pride you take in your work. I am a printer by trade and work on a large printing press and this series gave me a whole new appreciation of the internals of my machine. Keep up the good work.

Congrats on the finish. I've enjoyed the series and look forward to what's next.

That's not just a function tool for the shop. That is a beautiful piece of art. Great Job.

Es ist eine Freude, Deinen Stolz und Deine Freude bei den Details zu sehen. Sehr schöne Arbeit und Videos.

I just watched this all over again since I could not find a good movie to watch. Nice work and very relaxing.

Just seen all the videos on youre rotary table build , awsome job man iv learned lots from all of youre video's, Thanks and keep posting.

It looks awesome! I watched every video of this series on the same day. The oilers and the logo are giving the table kind of an antique look, very nice touch. Congratulations Adam, you made very fine engineered piece! And, of course, great craftsmanship! Please, make another video when you design and fabricate accessories for the table.

That is a thing of beauty! It has got to be the Rolls of welding tables! I also enjoyed the things learned while watching the machining especially the setting up of the steady rests which I made a comment hoping you would cover, and see that you already did. You are an amazing creator. Keep up the good work.

Thanks Adam, a really great set off videos.....you inspire me to get out in my own shop!

Great series, I enjoyed watching every week!! Thanx Adam !

Watched from start to finish. Really cool. Thanks Adam.

Watched all the videos of the making, super, super nice.

You are a machinist and an artist, thanks for sharing this with us

Great build. Just finished waching all the serie. That retro look it gets with the bronze oilers is spectacular. Don't freet about the base paint, it will hold your boots. It was dust that fell on the fresh paint, but that crackeled look it gets is nice. The electrical part was very nicely done. You are one of a very special kind.

the chrome logo and the gloss black make the whole table look like a super hero uniform.

The best work Adam!

いつも拝見させもらって、こういう仕事を自宅でしていることに憧れています。 自分は、学校に通ってた時代に旋盤を扱っていらい使う機会がないのですが、もう一度旋盤を使った物作りをすることが一つの夢です。

great series on this build Adam. You should be very proud and is a great pleasure to watch you in your element!

I'm not a machinist but I do recognize talent and workmanship when I see it, I can see Adam is a top drawer machinist and my hat is off to him. In my younger days I built engines, mostly hot rod stuff, and I appreciate precision machine work and attention to detail. I hope you continue to entertain us for a long time. Thank you for all you do for us.

Congrats on a beautiful piece of art. Should bring a smile every time you use it.

What a fantastic project! Your attention to detail is off the charts on this one.

Looks real choice there Adam.

Great job Adam, Hope it will serve you well.

Fantastic job Adam! Great success on your project and taking the time to share it with us!

Beautiful work.

100% functional and a work of art. It takes a professional and an artist to take suggestions and work them into the design. You rocked it!

Over 1000 likes in 24 hours. But 7 people gave it the thumbs down - that's 7 people who have no appreciation of fine machining work. Great work Adam, well done for such a fine job and for sharing your expertise. A big thanks to you.

Man that build video series was awesome. Just incredible build design and execution! Adam you are a pro and pleasure to watch! You inspire me! Thanks for your time and expertise!

Just one thing, WOW this is incredible, was so nice to see all episodes

Adam you do not need any more prising for your machining skills. The project looks and 'feels' good but guess what is the best part of the lot: the cool glass oilers! It was a pleasure to watch and learn. Thanks

Big work with happy ending I'm glad how nice it looks a table. Adam it become so nice as shiny so l would use it for dinner table.
