In this video I finish the machine work on the slide out tool, make the new keys for the shaft, and show how everything fits together. This is the last video for this job.
Adam I found this to be better than the stuff that is on regular TV. In addition to watching an artist in metal I enjoy your commentary. It's a great explanation to show a high school student when they moan about why do they need mathematics. Keep it up.
I can see you as a little kid. Watching Dad and GrandDad. They must have answered your thousand questions. How lucky you are. I love how you are so at ease. Explaining what is going on in your mind. I think we all absolutely love who you are. Not just your remarkable skill set or confidence. But your willingness to be honest (not pretensive) Must say, i too, love your dog checking on you to make sure you are ok and still there. Thank you. Thank you. For sharing with us. bil
+Don Coyotewinds Higgens Don, I would think there would be less splatter to clean up using 7018 rod. Adam, keep the videos coming, great job and interesting videos. Thanks for sharing them.
Hello mr. Adam, I live in the Netherlands and enjoy my retirement and a small lathe. I enjoy watching your videos and still learning how to make things in a smart way. Much appreciation for the way you are doing this. I wish you excellent health so that we can look at you for a long time to come. With best regards, Hans van Gelder
I have really enjoyed watching your videos. I am currently a blacksmith in Santa Barbara California, and I currently put myself in the category of aspiring/hack machinist. I am doing everything I can to learn as much as I can and your videos are great. Thank you.
I'm just going back to watch some of your original videos. I don't know how I ran across your videos as I'm not a machinist, but I really enjoy watching them. In this case I heard of key way broaching but I've never seen it being done. I didn't know there was a machine just for doing that either! On another note, you sir, are a master when it comes to stick welding. You do with a stick welder what other people can't even do with a MIG. I really appreciate that you are recording some of the jobs you are doing. I've been looking at the beginning of the week for your latest videos. Please continue making these videos. Ken W.
I'm working my way backwards through your videos. Watching you work is more impressive than what you make. Your skill, care, attention to detail,pride and humility are seen in everything you do. Thanks for the videos.
Adam, Thanks so much for your time, as an after work home garage machinist yours, Keith's and Tublicain's videos are on the top of my list. To see and hear the process adds so much more to what I read out of a book. Please don't stop.....and make up some T-shirts so we can give back. Thanks again!
It’s amazing to go back and watch your older videos. Shop looks so different. Seeing the outdoors through the window over the Monarch, holes in the ceiling, and of course, Stella roaming around. Can’t believe I’ve been enjoying your vids so long.
I don't know shit about working with metal but I can recognise a skilled craftsman when I see one. Keep up the good work, your vids are excellent. Cheers Mate!
More fine work Adam, I will say you have some serious confidence in that four jaw to be working with that piece hanging so far out. The fact that I won't even try that is probably an indicator that I need to grind out my chuck jaws.
Great job. You're a natural teacher. It's good to watch someone who knows what he's doing and also keeps you informed about everything: dialing in, feeds, speeds and depth of cut, step by step description. Really informative and easy to follow. Makes me fell like I can go out to my shop and do it. You make really nice chips.
I love watching you videos. I sit down with a cup of tea and spend an hour or so. It great to see someone that likes their job so much.... Len Melbourne Australia......
I'm pleased that your GoPro is working so well, and that your instincts for camera angles is so good. I had been following your work on one of the machinist sites through about page 45 and then other commenters drove me away. This is far superior to actually see the machining work and how you handle the measuring tools. Big fan.
Just enjoyed a couple of hours watching part 1 and 2. Why ? Because it was really nice to watch an honest and humble man do some honest work : ) Sometimes I miss my fabbing days : ( I really enjoyed the simple video that let the workmanship speak for itself, a bonus was that you enjoyed sharing ! Thank you and respect for what you do ! All best.
I worked in a auto machine shop about 40 years ago. I really like the way you tackle a job and think it through and make a plan. You do some wonderful work!
im in school for a machinist, and ive lerned so much by watching you. I wish i was tought things like this in school, but im glad you make videos, i see things that i would never otherwise, and lern tricks and ways of doing things i would never dream off. thanks for the great work!
I find everything you do and talk about incredibly interesting! lol You're very good at talking your audience through all the steps. Your talent for detail is not lost on your narration! Thanks for all you post!
i still can't believe how fast you can indicate a piece on a four chuck!!! I'am from Portugal, and we use metric, so I follow your videos with a calculator/converter in my hand! Keep up the good work, and thank you for sharing
Adam, I really enjoy watching your channel. I was an automotive machinist for several years and was probably the best jobs I had. Thank you for sharing your skills, which may I say are brilliant. Tim from Granada Hills Ca.
I have been watching your channel now for about 2 weeks now ---i'm a fan now and will continue watching as long as you're making videos..I'm an ASE Auto Mechanic for 30+ years now and the work you are doing is artistic and truly amazing...in the 2 weeks you've taught me a few things that I can incorporate into my profession. Thanks for your time and effort to post these.
Nice work Adam there aren't to many all around machinist left it's nice to watch one with your overall skills enjoy your videos thanks for taking the time to make them
Adam, Many thanks for taking the time to film and share. Back in the day I was a moderately useful engineer myself. It was nice to see a center lathe being used again and as to the broaching I must confess that I had completely forgotten how to do that and would very likely used a slotter. Keep posting please and give this old fart some joy. Thanks again Tony
Hi adam,i am contacting you from England,and would just like to say how much I love your videos,we have nothing like this here,and along with kieth fenner I have learnt more than I have from any book,please keep them coming.,all the best,martin.
Adam, this was a great way to spend a sleepless night. At 81, I need less sleep and more interesting videos to watch while waiting for daylight. Thank you. This "slide-out tool turned out as beautiful as the stand for your massive rotary table. Fine work.
+Ron McKinney Hey Ron, I think about both my Dad and Grandad everyday, especially when I walk into my shop. I would have none of what you see in my videos if it wasn't for there guidance. I was fortunate that my dad give me all the machines and tools to keep on doing what we do. He was just getting to enjoy sitting on the sideline watching me to the work when I lost him. I feel proud to have turned out to be a pretty decent machinist. I have over 300 videos, so there should be plenty of bedtime viewing for a while. Thanks for dropping by.
Thanks for responding Adam. On my birthdays, more than at other times, I think of my father. I was fifteen when I met him for the first time, up in Middle Tennessee. We worked together for a while, hauling fruit and produce for his younger brother's market. About the time I enlisted in the marines, he got on with the Tennessee Valley Authority constructing powerline towers. His sudden death on his 62nd birthday, which was to have been his first day of retirement, altered the course of my life so I can't help thinking of him when his birthday or mine rolls around.
I could only wish and wish and wish I did the work you do! I really enjoy watching,learning and listening to your stuff. Thank you! You are very much appreciated
You remind me of my Dad. His size and strength that no body else could match and also his great skill with metal working. Your shop also reminds me of the wonderful atmosphere I also had when I worked as a center lathe turner in an old local shop that used to make armaments for WW2! Where we all left the floor periodically as something huge came of a machine! Great videos!
Enjoyed watching a real machinest at work. A real learning experience. Just wish I was a few years younger and could work under someone like you. By the way, I live only a hundred or so miles north of you. Would like one day to visit you and see you shop and say hello. Thanks for the enjoyment watching.
So cool to see someone turn a hunk of steel into a something useful. Even though a lot of the end dimensions were not critical is is inspiring to see you be as precise as you can, a mark of a true pro.
Yes, I enjoyed it very much. Learned quite a bit. I like how you are deliberate in your actions and speech, not a lot of philosophy and rambling. Very clear, easy to follow, and I really appreciate you taking the time to make this. Some videos are so hard to watch, even though they are actually importing something of value, the makers poor communication skills make you want to scream: "Just get on with it". Yours was very clear, easy to understand, and plenty of detail. A++
Thanks Richard, I love that Monarch too! It is a quiet and smooth running machine, especially when compared to modern day lathes like my Victor and Acra-Turn. I really miss my grandad and wish I would have spent more time learning of his past, but you dont think about that when your young.So I have to carry on what I do know, and it was a pleasure to share that with all of you.
Thanks Adam. I watch your shows everyday. Your work is always interesting and fun filled I really enjoy that. Not to mention Adam you seem to be a straight-up mean and I have no choice but to appreciate that thanks for the videos keep them coming and I'm going to keep giving thumbs up.
What excellent work and excellent videos! I love that Monarch Lathe. I can't believe how quiet it is! It was touching to here you talk about your Grandfather and Father because you are right to take some time and share as it helps keep us in the right direction in life. Thanks for taking the time to document your work and I for one really enjoy. I look forward to you next vids and best regards. Richard.
Nice work and great videos! I can't believe the cuts you can take with that lathe. I have a small south bend right now and can only dream of taking 200 k off in one pass! Lol Thx for the videos!
Its tough at times, often the camera gets in the way. But it is enjoyable, especially when you have quite a few people enjoying watching what you do. The filming is more of a hobby now and new to me.
Well done there Abom79, first time I seen how a good lathe operator goes about his implementation of his skills. I call you one of the masters of the steel carving world. Thank you displaying the right way to do things. {I also noticed you run a tidy workshop.} Oulde William.
Thats some fine looking engineering going on there. This is the sort of person we need on youtube. i'm addicted to watching you do your thing. Please keep on doing it. I'm a bit late to finding you, but im catching up slowly Thanks
T-Shirts!! LOL, I only just started this life of video posting my work, but I always wanted to make my own work shirts. I'm a t-shirt guy, black with a pocket, so if I ever do make some, hope yall like black pocket T's! We'll just see how this venture keeps going first. BTW, glad to hear the videos are a help with your home machining. Keith and Tubicain's videos are very good.
Nice work Adam. You have a wonderful mix of passion and skill. You look a little warm in the videos here in a couple months I'll be glad to send you a box of snow. Scot Scot's Machining
Hi Adam, found this vidio today. Though it is from 2013, it's still up to date and well done! Thank you. We can leearn much from each other. But mostly I use four-jaws, when turning sxcenters or cranks. For exact centering I turn soft jaws in a three-jaw chuck, such as parts with lack of material like tube. Excuse my bad English. :-)
I'm not a machinist but I did enjoy watching the process of repairing the old have and making the new Slide-Out. Thanks for taking time to do the videos.
I enjoy watching your videos. Machine work is fascinating to me. reading mics was a bit of trouble for me, all those fine increments. and it is a necessity for this kind of work. At work we had big equipment that when broke down we would call the local machine shop to make a part - usually the shafts on gear boxes. They had the manufacture drawings on file so they could do the work when they got the call. Yes, it was usually in the middle of the night. They did a terrific job too. keep the videos coming
Thanks for measuring everything as many times as it takes to be sure. The guys bust my chops all the time about caring too much about the parts that don't show...but who's the first one they call for when they need it done right on the 1st shot?.... Gets me lots of free lunches...lol. Great video as usual.
Very nice. That came out great man. My grandpa was a blacksmith and to see you run that equipment was fun. As William said, it sure looks like you're a true master of what you do. It was a pleasure to watch you make that tool.
That was a factory made bushing from Dumont Broach, so I felt confident that the slot was milled dead nuts in the center of the shaft, Simply set the existing slot down and square on the bottom of the vise and it should be 180 degrees away, as long as you center the shaft properly in the vise. I normally give the part a few bumps with my lead to make sure it down and even on the bottom.
Hey Adam- I'm still catching up on the oldies- This 2part series was excellent, lots of good learning points there that I'll refer back to when I have my machines in a while- You do a great job, and I am constantly impressed by the mix of your high degree of skill, calm and easy going demeanor, helpful tips, and the fact that you always overcome any challenges, tough or not. I'll be re-watching the rotary table series soon, dam that was a great one- Exceptional. Like the other guy in those comments said, If there was an Academy Awards for TH-cam, that series should be in and win it- Wish I could go to Stan's, maybe next year- Thanks much Brother- Paul
Adam I found this to be better than the stuff that is on regular TV. In addition to watching an artist in metal I enjoy your commentary. It's a great explanation to show a high school student when they moan about why do they need mathematics. Keep it up.
A professional job done by a professional who knows what is important and what is not. Your videos are very good also. Keep them coming
I can see you as a little kid. Watching Dad and GrandDad. They must have answered your thousand questions. How lucky you are.
I love how you are so at ease. Explaining what is going on in your mind.
I think we all absolutely love who you are.
Not just your remarkable skill set or confidence.
But your willingness to be honest (not pretensive)
Must say, i too, love your dog checking on you to make sure you are ok and still there.
Thank you. Thank you. For sharing with us.

Well, I came on here for the Monarch, stayed for the work. Nice demo, nice job, sir.
I want to let you know how much I enjoy watching your videos. I would be happy to have you work on anything.
I never knew anything like this even existed! Broaching the key way....so much to learn so little time!
Adam , again you have proved that you are a master craftsman ,,, Thanks buddy ,,, Dan from Ireland ,,,,,,
I watched every video of your welding table. & few others before that. I'm hooked on your videos. It's on the menu every night. You the man Adam.
+Don Coyotewinds Higgens Don, I would think there would be less splatter to clean up using 7018 rod. Adam, keep the videos coming, great job and interesting videos. Thanks for sharing them.

Tommy you really hit the nail on the head. Adam's clear, concise speech makes him a great teacher. Other youtube machinists take note!
at 35 minutes when you cut the inside for that pin is what got me I never knew how people did that. thanks
Man, the shop looked so different back then. You have come a long way. Keep up the good work!
Thanks! Blacksmithing is a cool trade, and a good one to know as well. Im glad your enjoying the videos!
Thanks Richard, I love that Monarch too! It is a quiet and smooth running machine, especially when compared to modern day lathes like my Victor and Acra-Turn.
I really miss my grandad and wish I would have spent more time learning of his past, but you dont think about that when your young.So I have to carry on what I do know, and it was a pleasure to share that with all of you.
Thanks Adam, ur a master machinist.
Beautiful work! Thanks for sharing.
I have been watching your videos all week, thanks great information.
Thanks Kenneth!
Thanks Adam. I watch your shows everyday. Your work is always interesting and fun filled I really enjoy that. Not to mention Adam you seem to be a straight-up mean and I have no choice but to appreciate that thanks for the videos keep them coming and I'm going to keep giving thumbs up.
Very cool! Yes the heat and humidity here is a killer in the summer time! I cannot wait for fall weather!!
What excellent work and excellent videos! I love that Monarch Lathe. I can't believe how quiet it is! It was touching to here you talk about your Grandfather and Father because you are right to take some time and share as it helps keep us in the right direction in life. Thanks for taking the time to document your work and I for one really enjoy. I look forward to you next vids and best regards.
Richard.
Nice work and great videos! I can't believe the cuts you can take with that lathe. I have a small south bend right now and can only dream of taking 200 k off in one pass! Lol Thx for the videos!
Up until recently, I never appreciated how much time, planning and effort go into projects like this. Well done, sir!
👍😁👍
True craftsmanship makes everything look so easy!!
I love watching your videos Abom, i used to work for 6 years as a machinist, and i really miss it watching you do it.
A job well done I enjoy watching your video with pleasure
Its tough at times, often the camera gets in the way. But it is enjoyable, especially when you have quite a few people enjoying watching what you do. The filming is more of a hobby now and new to me.
You do excellent work and I love watching your videos.. God Bless
Well done there Abom79, first time I seen how a good lathe operator goes about his implementation of his skills.
I call you one of the masters of the steel carving world.
Thank you displaying the right way to do things. {I also noticed you run a tidy workshop.}
Oulde William.
Thanks William! I do try and keep the shop clean when I can.
Great to see traditional engineering great job!
Thats some fine looking engineering going on there. This is the sort of person we need on youtube. i'm addicted to watching you do your thing. Please keep on doing it.
I'm a bit late to finding you, but im catching up slowly
Thanks
Thanks for making the Video's ! I'm a garage mechanist in training.
nice work with the videos! thanks for sharing them with us all... great job!!!
Thanks mam, it takes a whole other level of effort to film what you do. It is appreciated.
T-Shirts!! LOL, I only just started this life of video posting my work, but I always wanted to make my own work shirts. I'm a t-shirt guy, black with a pocket, so if I ever do make some, hope yall like black pocket T's! We'll just see how this venture keeps going first.
BTW, glad to hear the videos are a help with your home machining. Keith and Tubicain's videos are very good.
Nice work Adam. You have a wonderful mix of passion and skill. You look a little warm in the videos here in a couple months I'll be glad to send you a box of snow.

Thanks for the great footage and demos Adam, I just can't stop watching!
Hi Adam, found this vidio today. Though it is from 2013, it's still up to date and well done! Thank you. We can leearn much from each other. But mostly I use four-jaws, when turning sxcenters or cranks. For exact centering I turn soft jaws in a three-jaw chuck, such as parts with lack of material like tube. Excuse my bad English. :-)
Looks like you have a nicely equipped shop and some good machines. Never seen that type of lathe. Thanks for sharing.
glad you enjoyed filming it! i enjoyed watching!
Keep up the videos, I think its great that you are passing on your knowledge
and it looks like you have been doing this for long time.
Thanks
I'm not a machinist but I did enjoy watching the process of repairing the old have and making the new Slide-Out. Thanks for taking time to do the videos.
Enjoyed the video and plan to watch more.
Thanks for taking the time to video your projects. you have some awesome skills.Can't wait for the next video.
Thanks Carter, I use the GoPro Hero 3 camera, and I do all the filming, editing, and producing myself. I'm a one mad show around here.
Great job Adam, really entertaining.
I really enjoy seeing the Broaching process, and the machine is pretty cool as well
I enjoy watching your videos. Machine work is fascinating to me. reading mics was a bit of trouble for me, all those fine increments. and it is a necessity for this kind of work. At work we had big equipment that when broke down we would call the local machine shop to make a part - usually the shafts on gear boxes. They had the manufacture drawings on file so they could do the work when they got the call. Yes, it was usually in the middle of the night. They did a terrific job too. keep the videos coming
Thanks for measuring everything as many times as it takes to be sure. The guys bust my chops all the time about caring too much about the parts that don't show...but who's the first one they call for when they need it done right on the 1st shot?.... Gets me lots of free lunches...lol.
Great video as usual.
Another job well done
Very nice. That came out great man. My grandpa was a blacksmith and to see you run that equipment was fun. As William said, it sure looks like you're a true master of what you do. It was a pleasure to watch you make that tool.
Jsem patnást let soustružník, z tohoto videa jsem si hodně odnesl, zdravím a děkuji, poctivá řemeslná práce
Really good video gave me a lot of ideas to try when I'm in the work shop also I will have to invest in a steep gauge, keep them coming
That was a factory made bushing from Dumont Broach, so I felt confident that the slot was milled dead nuts in the center of the shaft, Simply set the existing slot down and square on the bottom of the vise and it should be 180 degrees away, as long as you center the shaft properly in the vise. I normally give the part a few bumps with my lead to make sure it down and even on the bottom.
Really nice work and videos, i use to do work like this before i got in my wheelchair so it really is fun to watch it being done .......thanks
You do great work, like watching your video's. Really learning a lot on how they do that.
Thanks a Million.
Well done. I like that Monarch. I enjoy seeing the way you work. H you get more jobs like this.
Hey Adam- I'm still catching up on the oldies- This 2part series was excellent, lots of good learning points there that I'll refer back to when I have my machines in a while- You do a great job, and I am constantly impressed by the mix of your high degree of skill, calm and easy going demeanor, helpful tips, and the fact that you always overcome any challenges, tough or not. I'll be re-watching the rotary table series soon, dam that was a great one- Exceptional. Like the other guy in those comments said, If there was an Academy Awards for TH-cam, that series should be in and win it- Wish I could go to Stan's, maybe next year- Thanks much Brother- Paul
