24:29 like butter! That's a beast of a saw.

We have one of them Marvel saws just like that one at work. We also have a bigger one with hydraulic drive and old school CNC shuttle system that I used to run. Now I run forming presses!

Great work as always Adam. I had to laugh though that you welded it up in the machine shop and took it to the welding shop to machine it.

I really appreciate the American flag on the back wall of your shop. Thank You!

Last night actually wishing it was Saturday to see you work. This week's vids were great. Wish more people were like you continuing to be just a good person. Best wishes.

Really enjoy your videos. Im a 20 year automotive machinist in the racing industry in California. Started with manual machines and progressed into CNC machining along with CAD/CAM designing. Been watching for a couple months now and its my favorite on KZfaq. I look forward to new episodes.

Man, that Marvel is a marvel!

My shop before I got out the navy picked up a marvel 8 band saw, that thing was the most monstrous badass band saw I'd ever seen.

Nice job on the welding Adam. Seeing that Marvel saw brings back memories, we had one in the shop were I had welding classes a while back.

That Marvel saw cut the sprocket section like it was butter.

You are a very wise man Adam. Thanks for the vids as always.

As Paul Harvey use to say, "And that's the rest of the story". Thanks Abom!

Given the smile that wheel dresser brought to your face, I guess a guy's best friend is a diamond (to steal a phrase!).

Awesome work man. Abom79 is a world wide name these days, I have had guys recognise your shirts when I walking around swap meets down here in south Australia!

Always great to have friends that can help you out with projects! I can't believe they told them to leave that dozer blade half fell off with that dorked up slot, some people always just want to get by rather than fix. I think that is the same style of saw as the one Tom has, maybe just newer?

Beautiful welds, Adam!

I manufacture those diamond grinding wheel dressers. One would typically last a home workshop around 5 years depending on the size of the diamond. I also make lathe tools and cnc grinding cluster tools and cvd tipped chisels.

Nice work Adam. Your buddy has a nice welding shop also.

Adam it's to bad that we don't live closer together, because I would be more then glad to refinish all of your shop equipment for you. you see I love doing that kind of work it' s my thought that nice painted machine is a good running machine and it makes the shop a good looking shop.

This may have been mentioned about the thread wires. I keep a ball of clay a bit smaller than a golf ball in my threading drawer. I just stick the wires into the clay at the appropriate diameter. You still need every bit of both hands, but it's better than the 3 hands you needed before.

Nice video Adam it would be good to see where the things you make end up.That would be cool

And here I been thinking ABOM stood for Adam BOoth Machine. lol Love the origin of nick names. They do stick.

The thread wire holders are in that safe place that never becomes apparent - we all have a b-double load of things in that safe place...

Thanks for the video good to see your mates they look like good friends too.

I've used a Marvel saw. they are very nice saws!

Nice job Adam. regards from the UK

Adam your work ,true machinist good work..

just working right have a good day

"And Bob's your Uncle" "Yeah baby!" lol

You have some awesome viewers Adam, great stuff just falls out of the sky-! lol

Nice to have great friends

awesome, love the visit to your buddies shop and insight to the name, would love to see the parts you make put to use, kinda finish the video off, be cool.

Hey Adam, If you order a new foot pedal for the shop Miller makes a sweet cordless version. They are wireless and really nice in the shop with hoses and cords on the floor. Best, Tom

Enjoyed!

Love those saws, carbide tipped blades work great on hardened work, used mark 4 and 5, if I remember correct, I think 14k and worth every penny.

Suggestion for your TIG welding Adam: cut the welding rod in half so that the length of the rod is much shorter and therefore much easier to control. You run a much bigger risk of touching your tungsten when working with more instable longer welding rods. Try to learn to feed the rod with your tumb (there are several different techniques) so that you can lower the hand that feeds the rod much closer to your tungsten that will greatly improve the welding rod stability. Jody will be able to give you some tips on this.

Always nice to hear the story behind a nickname. Mine came up on a Thailand vacation with a group of people, Thomas was to complicated and there was already a Tom in this group so I became just T. and in a similar setting like yours a Thai girl said _"you are so fun T."_ and boom *FunT* was it, for pronouncing reasons I made it to *Funty* and my love for some comic creatures called _The Fabulous Furry Freak Brothers_ made it to Fab Funty.

here I thought the Abom story is in shackle video, went and watched all of it before coming back to this one.

I have used one of those saws, awesome machine.

First! Always interesting videos Adam! Impressed of your knowledge. Regards from Sweden

love marvel saws

Shall we start a go-fund -me for a foot pedal for Adam's works?

dont remember what show it was of yours you were removing bolts from a pool ladder i think ,, they tried too fix it,, you got the job after they failed .. you need a sign x amount per hr if untouched and xxxx amount if you worked on it already , great shows you do Abom79

I can't tell how many times I have used thread wires. Always clean out your chip pan on the lathe before using them because if you drop one it it worse than looking for a needle in a haystack.

We have 2 Roll-Ins at the shop where I work. Handy for what we do but somewhat limited in capacity

adam nice work cool video.

GREAT VIDEO !!

good stuff man

Adam has enough groupies to have a paintfest!

See. I always thought ABOM was an acronym for Adam BOoth Machinist.

I always thought ABOM just comes from Adam Booth Machinist

Great S&S

that sucks that is was off. you know how many times i've had people work on my stuff and they screwed it up. geezzzz. I know they were doing the best they could, but that is why i keep it in house. Sorry about that abom

Hi Adam, I've been a viewing your videos for sometime now. I am a retired machine shop owner in Sydney Australia. When I watched you counterboring the holes in preparation for tapping I wondered why you didn't't use a long series twist drill to drill the tapping diameter and then the clearance hole for the socket head cap screws That would have saved setting it up again after sawing. Just a suggestion fro an old machinist.

Don't misplace the thread wires now because when you find the holders...the wires will have walked off! LOL!

I am thinking maybe that thumb control on the TIG is perhaps not too bad to use. Looked like you were using a lay wire approach after the tacks - ahh, you mentioned that... that sure was fine job Adam - gorgeous. How nice to have huge pieces of bronze pipe! Holy smokes - what a band saw! I still think ABOM could well be Adam Booth Machining! :-)

...and here I was thinking it stood for AdamBOothMachining.

...Welding table.....use the heaviest plate you can afford.....5X10 foot will let you put anything 4x8 on there.... 1' thick is a good minimum.....don't weld the legs on...make a nice frame out of 4X4X1/4...then drill the tabletop and screw it to the base with a few flathead screws....or drill/tap from the bottom....and Don't use the bottom of the plate to blow off your stick-out on the Mig gun....!

Adam, paint don't make it go!! I hate painting too.

great video Joe seems like a really cool guy, ok that explains Abom so i am going to venture a guess that your were born in 79?

Those bolts are called "Socket Head Cap screws".

I had seen when you were welding with no glove on your filler rod, I have done that once till I grounded the filler to the tungsten and burned my finger when the filler brought the electricity through my arm. Never again, man that hurt.

Pee Dee thread wires are the greatest!!

on the bull dozer that slotted area is a pivot float area and is warn but normal

that was the bomb!! lol

I don't think Adam was to happy with that cut...

Pain - ting is when you dont like it LOL

ABOM - Adam Booth Online Machinist

Looking good Adam Was it the same guy that that milled the vise also crushed the oil can I cant believe it still holds oil .

Beautiful work as always, of course the machining work is excellent as always, but a machinist that can weld as well? damn, I never let the machinist's anywhere near my welding machine because I always end up with a dozen burnt up tungsten's to sharpen and a weld bead to grind out and make pretty again, good work mate! I just got done watching the episode about the hydraulic shaft machining where you stick weld that tab's back onto the butt plate and you've got the hand for the stick as well, especially with those Excalibur rods, they put down a nice hydrogen free weld but love getting undercut on anything even slightly out of position, Try to get the boss to swing you some Lincoln Conarc 49C 7018 welding rods, not as good on the hydrogen content ( 3-4 microns per cubic cm of weld metal rather then 2 microns for the Excalibur's) which really doesn't matter for anyone but Exxon mobile engineer's (I welded plenty of pipe together on LNG plants for other oil companies with 49c's and they've hung on no problem) but are a much smoother rod to weld with!

Nice! Could you put dowels in to ensure gear lines up or are the bolts ok on their own.

Ben fatto!

When you cut through the sprocket you removed some of the material between the teeth. Was there an allowance for the changing of the pitch, in two places, when the sprocket was assembled? Maybe I missed that part....

18:56 - Squash it like a bug!

Do you have a video on removing a broken tap from a blind hole? Also, you said you were going to try the thread-wire holders at work. Maybe you left them there?

Why do you turn down the amperage to zero before removing the TIG-needle, which seems to get stuck in the metal? Doesn't this damage the Tungsten pin over time? Maybe I am mistaken and in that case I'd be very happy to learn your motivations!

We have that same saw at my shop and it dont cut straight either. lol

Adam, Great video as always. I'm a hobby machinist and have learned so much from you it's amazing. Can you tell me what type of coolant you use in your misters? I have a Kool Mist system and have tried the milky white water soluble oil many times but the mist clouds up so bad around the machine that I feel like I've downed 3 fingers of 30 wt. by the time I'm done with the project. Any advice would be welcome. Thanks! Terry

Awesome, we finally got the Story about Abom, where the heck the 79 come from, was that your jersey # in HS?

walking the cup.

I use Rubber Bands to hold the wires. Not that fiddly...

something i just noticed. as Adam is always on the up and up with PPE, why not his seat belt?

My question, did you calculate in the kerf of the sawblade width/cut when fabbing up the ID of the collar, or did it even matter on the final ID?

I've heard that the mist from those coolers are really bad for your lungs. Is that actual coolant or just water?

There's an imp that steals my tools and hides them. I can never catch him, and he frequently fools me by moving them back again to where I actually left them. I have an additional problem where I take some critical tool with me as I go searching, and leave that critical tool in some strange place while I'm looking for the first tool.

What was the Facebook page your buddy was talking about? I thought he said "aspiring welders" but I cannot find anything close to that.

you should talk your boss into selling on of those giant pieces of bronze, that would easily pay for a foot pedal. Shit their only 2-3 hundy. Sell your drop to someone like me, you'd make enough for that foot pedal in a day.=)

Bobs your uncle. Never heard that before

I have an interesting question, I’ve been wanting to make my own custom aluminum parts for rc trucks, what machine would be the best, making things like rims, Cnc machine?

just a silly question but maby not so silly after you saw through that is it going to be out of round kinda egg shaped .

What torch are you using for the TIG on the sprocket ?

Is the gear still working? Cause when you cut the gear you reduced also the length of two teeths

You may have since this video was posted, but... Why haven't you bought your own foot pedal for the Tig? They aren't too pricey! :)

Wow Hello Adam I have been watching your channel for over two years as well as others and only to day figured out how to commit on videos Yes I'm not up on all the ways of computer and how things work but all said Thank you for your channel I find it as well as the others very entertaining l have been able to communicate with Mr Fenner because of his face book postings can't figure how to get yours and others posts to talk/communicate with no see how to leave commits here will be able to enjoy every ones and yours channel also was able before to talk with Mr. Rucker so look for me in later posts again thank you and I enjoy a lot maybe can see all of you at this years bash I only live 2 + hrs. Away in Bakersfield Ca. Would of gone last one but was recovering from two different surgeries hope Doubleboost can make it across the pound Ha Ha

hey abom I've been wondering about that tig welder. iv noticed that the shielding gas blows for a long time, after you terminate the arc. Is that done on purpose or is that the lowest setting it has. it seems like that would get expensive losing all that gas.

do you prefer a thumb wheel over a foot pedal on the tig welder?

Adam why when you weld details are not sparks fly, and when the weld details at the end of the video, there are sparks flying?

what surface grinder???

"Bob's Your Auntie "

A-bomb becomes Abom?
