- This week's shop update will show some progress on the interior walls that I decided to hire out for painting. I'm also announcing the purchase of another lathe, one that's much bigger than what I have and that will go into the new shop.

Wise moves on the painters and the riggers. Having the ability to do something yourself doesn't mean you HAVE TO do it yourself.
You can put some flexible self leveling concrete sealant in those control joints to keep them from filling up with chips and being difficult to sweep.
Any hot chips or fragments will fall and melt into the sealant though. Ask me how I know… ;)
I prefer 2 part hard epoxy. Helps with pallet Jack's to.
If the grooves are deep I have dropped rebar down in the gap to help take up the volume. Back them rebar was cheaper then epoxy.
oh good points
Absolutely agree about filling the joints.
Glue down some heavy rope that fits in the groove. It's replaceable.
I think I can safely say,Adam is probably one the one the most decent,and genuine You Tubers I watch,Kudos to him,and I never miss SNS.
Been watching your channel for years now, and always enjoy it. Don't often comment but felt compelled to this time with your anticipatory observation about positioning the new lathe above the "control" joint. This is not a joint as such, but a cut made into the concrete to reduce the possibility of an unsightly crack forming randomly across the floor as the concrete sets off. Any shrinkage forces will tend to crack under the cut because the slab is slightly thinner here. Loading the floor in the area around a "control" cut will not affect things now the floor has well a truly gone off. Anyway, good luck with the workshop build, and installation of the equipment. Looking forward to keeping up with all of this.
Adam I can't even begin to tell you how happy I am to see all your hard work finally paying off. You have worked so hard to get to this point and I know that your father and grandfather are looking down so proud of you. You deserve everything good coming your way! You're a great person an extremely good at what you do. I really appreciate the content you put out for us to enjoy.
A great big giant drill/decimal chart would look awesome painted on the wall.
And a imperial to metric conversion chart LOL
Hi Adam, I don't know what length of work you are expecting to be able to accommodate, but it strikes me that putting either end of your new lathe near a wall will restrict your capacity and also make access to the tailstock difficult, I'd be tempted to allow at least room for a chain lift at that end so the tailstock could be swopped out for a fixed steady on long overhanging work pieces. Exciting times watching you set up a new facility. May I wish you both a happy new year.
For cleaning up more easily, let me recommend a filet between wall and floor. A straight baseboard makes a sharp right-angle corner that embeds dust, swarf, etc. I made mine with a piece of 3" PVC pipe as a molding tool (1.5" radius). A broom cleared anything out with no corner to trap stuff. It also keeps welding sparks from laying against the wall. Use mortar or plaster, and paint it with whatever you use to seal the floor.
That's one of those "it's so simple it's genius" tips right there!
I think the eggshell was the right decision. It looks great.
I like the way that Keith Rucker did his shop with the green metal about 4' high on each wall.
Control joint won’t be an issue. They just control where any crack will be. As long as the floor is reinforced, should be 100% fine.
I second Rob H. Concrete shrinks as it cures and it will crack. The control joints control where the cracks occur. The rule is 2 times the thickness of the slab expressed in feet... a 12" slab would need joints every 24 ft or so. What is more important is an engineered section, based on your site conditions, of a well compacted base of mineral soils. You should have no worries at all. I've been enjoying this shop build from the beginning. Excited to see you actually producing product in there soon.
Exactly. Control joints don’t prevent cracks. They just dictate where the crack occurs.
Happy new year from Wales! I’ve been waiting for a new abom video
I love that gear reduction cross feed dial on the new lathe!
Looking forward to the lathe delivery Adam, congrats the shop looks awesome...
Adam it looks great. You should Epoxy the floor. You won’t regret it and there isn’t a better time. It’ll be much easier to keep clean.
VERY nice space!! Except for the plumbing of the water heater and expansion tank. I think Joe should find another plumber.
Where's your intro music? I always look forward to that, the sounds of good things to come.
Consider a wainscoting on the wall. Make it gray to a height about 5 or 6 feet. It will keep the lower wall from getting soiled, greasy, dusty....
Or diamond plate with a matte finish
See if you can borrow a projector - the type they use on laptops for conference presentations etc...
Point at the wall in various locations with pictures of engineers tools or whatever, then you can trace with a pencil directly onto the wall to end up with a mural with 8' tap holders, Huge Micrometers, Vices and the like.
Was going to wish you happy new year, but I guess its "Happy New Lathe" 🎈🎉🎊
Way to go bro!!!! Now all you need is a nice Horizontal Boring Mill.....
That eggshell paint is a good choice! The bumpy surface spreads the light much better than a semi gloss.
That is better for filming and moving machines etc. Excting new workshop! 👍🤩
Abom79 logo right in the middle of that big wall!
Hi Adam. In the shop I built I used a 2x6 for the base board. It looks good and is durable in case you bump something into it. Like a pallet jack or something.
Congrats on the new lathe, I'm excited for you!
The wall and office look great.
I would two tone the walls. White on the upper 3/4ths and a mid tone on the lower. This gives the brightness of the white from the lights above and is easier on the eyes where you look and film. Consider darkening the lower portion, either a grey, light blue or beige. Also, the darker lower area doesn't show dirt as much. It works REALLY well.
Expansion joints in concrete wont matter, the slab has continuous rebar running both ways, even across the joints. They are pretty much just as strong and distribute the load across the whole slab, you shouldn't have any issues with the location, some good leveling pads under the machine and good to go! Congrats on the new (to you) machine!! Cant wait to see it run...
Yes, the eggshell paint looks very nice. I like it.
Talk about celebrity look alikes, the guy who's selling you the lathe is a dead ringer for This Old Tony.
lol
I thought for sure the lathe announcement was going to be you buying topper machine channels monarch that he posted about yesterday, still congrats on the new lathe!
That was my first thought too.
Massive Abom mural wall would have looked ace! Love watching the progress on the new shop!
The color was very good, the painters were right, where neat
Looks great! Don't worry about that control joint.. might put some good flexible caulk in it to keep chips out.. I recommend NP1.. can get it in different colors, and we use it outside with no issues at all.. Cheers!
I’d find a art painter and do the largest drill chart possible. That way you can read it across the shop.
When I was in school, we did that using overhead projectors.
You need a great big logo painted on that large wall.
A roll of masking tape and some big cardboard boxes can make good tools for laying out machinery placements and verifying the space and access around the machine in the shop. It's a lot easier to move tape and cardboard than an 11kip lathe.
It would be nice to see a video on the details of planning to pickup, move and set large equipment like this. I cant wait to see how it is rigged and moved into the shop.
Knew there would be a Pacemaker moving in. Now you just need to go get the horizontal boring mill back from Motion.
For the baseboard, the rolled rubber moulding has the advantage of hiding any waves or variances in the floor - sheared aluminum won't, and could make them stand out.
caulk the gaps as you do on MDF baseboard on tile floors
No more black stripe in the video. Well done.
Eggshell covers more imperfections but semi-gloss stays cleaner and is easier to clean when dirty. White is a good color for reflecting light and keeping the room light enough to easily work in.
That Lathe looks to be in very good condition. Love the Art Deco look as well. So cool to have this shop finally coming together. The painted walls seem to reflect the light well and the shop seems brighter.
That wall looks great in eggshell! Now it needs a huge Abom logo up there. Will look great in the videos. :)
Walls look great now you need to clean and seal that floor before you move any equipment put in there
it's always nice to see good things happen to good people. your new shop is going to be the bom, err the A-bom.
Place is coming along great. Really looking forward to the new lathe and possibly some work on it to get it dialed in up to your standards.
Egg Shell was the right call. Your walls look great! Can't wait to see the crain in action.
The crazy thing is this man could just turn the camera off and run a very successful machine shop... He is literally giving away his talents to all his viewers. That's how you know he's content and comfortable with all his knowledge.
Congrats on the new lathe, those Pacemakers are beautiful machines.
Aluminum tread plate would be really cool looking for baseboard! That's a great idea Adam.
I have installed some as that, we used 3mm by 200mm wide strips, you will not get the patterns to line up, unless you shear it yourself so that its all the same.
Walls are looking great, and the Pacemaker will be a fantastic addition to the new shop . Keep up the great work
Adam,
You're rockin'! Everything looks great and we're waiting for the next episode with the crane install!
The wall looks real sharp and brighten it up. Definitely American Flag , Pictures of the new property Is to dream with what you want there next
Eggshell is always the way to go man, still cleanable and not as shiny. Looks good!
Adam, I've done my share of rigging, but I too wouldn't feel comfortable doing this one myself. I wish you success in this transition.
The 60Hz line current and the 60shutter recording were back-beating against each other creating banding. I didnt see any banding with your 120shutter, but you may find that your signal may look noisy in low light conditions. If you have a shutter that isnt a multiple of 60, and lower than 120, that should work well in low light.
I think that egg shell look awesome 👀....Thanks for the update 😃👍
Congrats on fixing the lightning issue with the Gopro! Paint job looks good... smart going with eggshell. Always nice having someone looking out for your best interests. Sounds like a good business owner.
Very nice Adam. Happy you are getting everything together the way you want it.
it looks good and bright. Great for a machine/fab shop. Got to keep them lumins as high as you can get. Plus the light reflecting off the white wall will help with shadows when you are working over your work pieces. It all looks like great choices and you should be happy with it.
I reckon your smile says it all
We were sitting at -22F over Christmas here in the mountains, so I can laugh at your hat in a summer-like 33 degrees. Shop looks great, enjoy your content quite a bit, your expertise and OCD makes a fantastic combination. Cheers!!
Looking good. I know Jake Topper’s heart sank when he heard you made a deal on the Pacemaker. He’s sick over thinking his Monarch could end up scrapped. Looking forward to seeing the jib crane in action.
Sounds as though it will look nice and clean and bright.
Hi Adam, Have you thought about covering the two bottom rows of the back wall with plywood to protect the plastic insulation, The shop is coming along Nicely, >Joe, Baltimore MD.
That new lathe is going to be awesome. Can't wait to see that in action
The walls look great! Can't wait to see the jib crane and "new" lathe.
So glad you sorted that camera flutter. Machinist and A/V technician. Looking forward to the new setup in its first reveal.
Congrats on the new to you lathe. Looking forward to seeing it in action. 👍
Wish you the best. You have a good sense on how to work with highly skilled people. I did it for 40 years. Respect and not taking for granted. Please enjoy your New Year.
Happy New Year, Lang May Yer Lum Reek. Love from Scotland :D
Adam I can tell that you’re truly excited with your new shop and I am to watch you get moved in and start up with the videos I think it’s going to be exciting for all of us to see the new projects that will be coming out of the new shop and I can tell your excitement in your looks you’re smiling ear to ear and I know you’re enjoying every minute.
Thanks for the shop update, Good looking paint job. It makes the shop nice and bright. Looking forward to seeing equipment getting installed.
Egg shell is fantastic. It cleans with a sponge and is used in bathrooms. Glad for the shop expansion.
Hi Adam, getting excited for you. Think new shop is going to be awesome. Love your videos, I’ve learned so much from them. Many thanks and all the best for the year ahead.
Happy New Year to you and your family Adam. Thank you for the new year wish. I hope you everything of the best for this year and for setting up your new shop.
Looks great. These are exciting times. I'm looking forward to seeing the new Pacemaker in your shop. Have a happy, healthy and prosperous 2022.
Great looking shop. Thanks to you and all the other guys I watch in keeping the old machines working. They were built by true craftsmen to last. I am proud to watch you keep them turning and burning. It amazes me they still are or can be within .001...or less. Keep up the good work.
A good option might be one row of fiberglass wall panels around the shop. They come in 4'x8' sheets and are only 1/16" thick but they would be really easy to clean and would prevent dings and dents. You can get them at Home Depot for pretty cheap
Looking good and look forward to seeing the big lathe make chips. Happy New Year Adam & Abby.
Good call on hiring out that wall painting. Cheaper than a hospital bill if you tumble off scaffolding or ladder.
Looking good Adam.
There is few things that a worth spending extra for and paint is one of them.
looks great Adam, you have to be getting pretty excited!
troubleshooting shutter speeds, and Microphone transceiver channels... your becoming a cinematographer extraordinaire.
Walls look great. The colour will help keep the shop bright. I'm excited to see that lathe in service there. Happy for you. Cheers
I'd recommend to put an L-profile on the corner of the office wall for some additional protection of the corner, it's easily damaged when you hit it accidentally with a cart or pallet
I am so excited for you! That lathe appears to be an incredible machine!
Looks Great! I am so excited to watch your new shop come together, i can only imagine how you feel.
Nice , I'm happy cause you're happy.
Wow that new lathe is a beauty, can’t wait to see that delivered
Congratulations all the best
Hey Mate looks awesome, and look forward to seeing all the gear in there turning stuff. you and yours have a awesome year. Cheers
You should have some posters made from photos of your Grampa and your Dad to put on your wall.
New lathe looks beautiful!
I’m excited to see some American Pacemaker videos!!
Oh MAN I’m stoked to see the Lathe delivery 💪🏼😎 awesome, awesome stuff! Congratz Adam
Looking good! We're looking forward to seeing that new lathe, too. Thanks for the update.
Happy New Year Adom and Abby . May 2022 be the best year yet. Dave from Australia
Only thing missing now is a new to you horizontal boring mill. Thanks for the update happy new year
Big Abom Muriel on the painted wall (HUGE). And put the American flag on the back wall. Looking good.👏🏻👍🏻
