I love seeing a rusty piece of metal going through a lathe peeling it down to shiny metal. it's so satisfying. My dad was a machinist but I never saw any of it. It's a great skill.
Good thing their only for rolling Aluminum. No need to be harden, But maybe later the customer will want them harden for other projects😎😎👍👍A gear upgrade on Dad's old press would be a great episode.
It's so rare and gratifying to get to see the parts in use after they're delivered! Whenever I invite machinists over to our labs to see what they made being used is a great delight for them and me!
It's interesting to see what you've made in use and to feel how it fits. I think most machinists never hear thanks. They only hear about problems and mistakes
This video is a throwback to the kind of content you uploaded several years ago. I really enjoyed it. I have seen a rolling machine in use over on Engel's Coach Shop channel. He uses it to roll the steel tires to put on wagon wheels, but his is a manual-crank machine! Same exact function though - it takes a flat bar of metal and arcs it into a curve, with each pass through the rollers curving it more as needed.
Adam, you being within earshot of Joe must be a Godsend for him when he needs something “Different” or something repaired. Fun video because broaching is something that is a mystery to many people.
Adding the roll pin to the broach plug is a stroke of genius! That's an extremely helpful tip. THanks, Adam! Love your work and your videos. I never fail to learn something from you.
I have a woodshop because I'm a woodworker but I'm a frustrated machinist at heart. when you started using the cutting oil I took a deep breath and swear I could smell it. I love the way a machine shop smells.
I love seeing you run a manual machine . That old press is a beast make awful noise but I’d be pleased if she was in my shop. Thanks for showing the rollers in use . Thanks Adam
The irony of a great guy who measures things to the ten-thousanths of an inch and also tolerates and enjoys using a clackity-clackity electric press is priceless! I learn a lot from your videos, thank you!
I'm wondering if that electric press has any limit switches to stop the motor at the ends of travel. Also, props to the camerawoman for that shot of those chips popping out of the broach.
Great to see an older piece of equipment still out performing todays equipment. Goes to show you a little TLC and she will last a lifetime. Keep her lubed and she will live on.
Always good to see the parts in use, not a usual thing so that was a nice treat. Good job Adam those rollers fit the rolling machine like a machinist made them.
As usual, Adam, you take a common item like some rollers for a pipe bender and turn it into an art form. I've noticed over the years that you never seem to be in a hurry or rushed. Even when you worked for that hydraulic company, and you always seem to have the time to do that little bit extra and do it right!
The videography and editing on this video is soo nice, and your commentary and taking time to show some little things like the toolbit drawer feels quite homey too Excellent work, I should get back to watching longer format comfy videos like this.
You can sure tell what machine Adam cut his teeth on or likes to operate, the "old" manual stuff Adam just flows he just makes the "old" machine sing, joy to watch
Love seeing this sort of content in the old shop, and how you explain so much about why doing things a certain way, and not another (such as why 50 tho on faceoff, or your boring bar size, or why using cutting oil, HSS cutter stuff, going in and out quick so you dont rub, etc - just little stuff like that. Ty
I would love to have a video every now and then of just showing the contents of one or more of your tool boxes. You have so many boxes and that could easily give you some content for your more curious viewers like myself. Much love as always from Texas.
Great old school home shop/jobshop project. Always fun to see you work on stuff in your comfort zone because you're a master! Enjoy the tour of drawers in your toolbox and you talking about your dad's tools as well. I love seeing you run your dad's old press and "clackitty" is a great way to describe the sound. 😁👍 Great video thanks for sharing.
I have to say Adam, that my heart was in my mouth when you had your hand stuck into that hardtail vice with the shaper tool right there and the thing de-clutched but running. I was so relieved that the thing didn't start to move, say, if the clutch picked up. I'd have the motor stopped before I did that.
51:17 I love seeing the broaching operation .. Especially on this old electric press .. it's the perfect speed for broachingtoo, far I think anyway! :)
Brilliant. Loved this video. I worked in a GM factory. They had a machine that clamped the cast connecting rod by its large hole. Then two broaches, identical to what Adam has, came down on each side. The clamp had the slot for the broaches, on the outside of both sides of the casting. They flooded the broaches with kerosene at the cutting site, just like Adam's CNC machine floods its cutting tools. The kerosene was carefully filtered, and reused. The year I worked there the two broaching machines each broached 2,225,000 connecting rods; a total of 4,500,000 rods in one year. Yes, that number is correct. In 2016 GM sold 10,000,000 vehicles world wide, manufacturing 1 car every 3 seconds, all year long. That means that a total of 60,000,000 connecting rods (at least) were manufactured that year, which is 2 rods a second all year long.
The casual skill you show here is so impressive. So many different competencies on display, it's always a learning experience watching your work. (e.g. grinding the HSS tool and configuring it for boring - that could easily be a video all by itself) Bottom line: Thanks so much for posting!
I Miss this old style Abom content absolute pleasure to watch. Thanks Mr Booth!
I agree
I love seeing a rusty piece of metal going through a lathe peeling it down to shiny metal. it's so satisfying. My dad was a machinist but I never saw any of it. It's a great skill.
This is the stuff that got me hooked watching you years ago. In the old shop, doin machining. Thank you.
So nice to see the old shop, the old machines, and you back where we all cut our teeth.
Reminds me of the good ol days
Abom: complains about rooster noise.
Neighbour: complains about loud arbor press.
😂
You're nicer than I was thinking.. he probably feels the need to have a rooster just like Adam feels the need to have a machine shop at his house.
Glad to see you working in the home shop miss them videos
I REALLY enjoyed seeing the final application in use at your customer's shop.
Good thing their only for rolling Aluminum. No need to be harden, But maybe later the customer will want them harden for other projects😎😎👍👍A gear upgrade on Dad's old press would be a great episode.
I second this motion nothing better than shop uogrades
Why? If you make it quiet you’ll rob it of its character. 😕😕
It's so rare and gratifying to get to see the parts in use after they're delivered! Whenever I invite machinists over to our labs to see what they made being used is a great delight for them and me!
It is great to see you back on the Victor. I love your new shop and all your new equipment, but it is great to see you using the classics.
Still the best machining content on TH-cam…
I wish there was more often videos of from the customer. Cool to see the machined parts in use
BY FAR.... what we've missed for a long time, Thanxx.
Always love watching the older machines do their thing at the old shop!
MJ
IDK about all of y'all??? But it was good to see abom back in his element....
iDK?

Nice, Adam! I really enjoy your traditional machining videos. 😊
It was really cool to see how the notches in the broach plug teeth split the chips!
Thanks for taking us along on this job, Adam.
Thanks Abby for helping out with the videography.
Adding the roll pin to the broach plug is a stroke of genius! That's an extremely helpful tip. THanks, Adam! Love your work and your videos. I never fail to learn something from you.
That’s a really nice looking vise at the end of the video😂
I love your memories of working with your dad and sharing the back stories about your machines from him.
I have a woodshop because I'm a woodworker but I'm a frustrated machinist at heart. when you started using the cutting oil I took a deep breath and swear I could smell it. I love the way a machine shop smells.

Adam says, "Nice-looking chip, right there." It's always about the curves, and the curves in that chip were beautifully perfect.
Brilliant - Adam back in the home shop
It's a joy to watch someone who has the confidence to do a job without an excess of caution.
Thank you Adam for taking us back to the old shop for an hour. A lot of good times looking over your shoulder there.
I saw roller in the screen title and it brought me way back to when I first started watching your channel.
Good video!!! I like how you did the end so we could see what the parts actually were made for!
"That's not my rooster" - Abom addressing the press before the rumor mill starts
Maybe the neighbors getting back for all the machining music
I'm wondering if that electric press has any limit switches to stop the motor at the ends of travel. Also, props to the camerawoman for that shot of those chips popping out of the broach.
Always enjoy the home shop videos, just always seems like if you don't have the right tool you have the tools to make the tool. Old School!!! Love it
Love that press! The simple reversing of a 3 phase motor and the open ring gear drive of that machine is so satisfying.
Great to see an older piece of equipment still out performing todays equipment. Goes to show you a little TLC and she will last a lifetime. Keep her lubed and she will live on.
Great videography from Abby as always!
Prefect ending at Joe's shop ...
Great to see your dads old press in action again Adam, nicely done as always 🍻
Always great when you can see the finished part being used. Thanks Adam for the extra effort and thanks Joe for allowing the video!
Love it!!! is like a small glimpse of perfection on a imperfect world
So satisfying to watch that rust give way to a shiny surface.
"I got a 55 gallon drum of that stuff, and I use it." - Abom
GREAT SHOW ABOM 79.
ADAM YOU A ABBY HAVE A GREAT DAY.
ENJOYED WATCHING THE EPISODES IN THE OLD SHOP.
thank you for showing us the manual ways. I learn something from each video you share. Please continue to make them.
Adam, Another quality job!
Abby - Nice job on the broach plug video. You captured some great detail on the cutting action.
Damn, missed the old shop!
Adam, I would love to see how a broach is made. A factory visit might make a great video
I would also love to see the main man a om role one of de broach cutting beauts
Cutting Oil....the fragrance of the metal gods.
Always good to see the parts in use, not a usual thing so that was a nice treat. Good job Adam those rollers fit the rolling machine like a machinist made them.
Another first quality job from the shop of Adam Booth, well done...as usual-!
As usual, Adam, you take a common item like some rollers for a pipe bender and turn it into an art form. I've noticed over the years that you never seem to be in a hurry or rushed. Even when you worked for that hydraulic company, and you always seem to have the time to do that little bit extra and do it right!
Great to see the old shop and the Victor back alive.
This was an excellent video Adam... reminded me of the old days... really appreciate the detailed explanations of how, what and why... cheers!
58:28 Great recording Abby !!! .. Really captured the most interesting aspects of broaching this keyway!
Cool to see the rollers working. Would have liked to see the parts you made for the fabric mill working.
Anyone notice he's using the Fireball vise at the end........sweet
The videography and editing on this video is soo nice, and your commentary and taking time to show some little things like the toolbit drawer feels quite homey too
Excellent work, I should get back to watching longer format comfy videos like this.
Great to see work in the old shop....🙂
Love watching a proficient machinist at work!!!! Adam, you are DA MAN!!!
Nice work Adam. Great to see the rollers being used at the end.
Old shop videos are so cozzy... and extra footage from working rolling machine!
We love the expanding mandrel.
Hey Adam! glad to see you getting back to your roots once in a while! Thanks for sharing it with all of us!
I do like the follow up video👍👍,watch so many channels and dont see the parts or work put to use
Thanks for the show Adam 🍻 🇦🇺
We always used Metal pallet banding for shims on our broach. Great video as always!
yea that stuff is pretty good quality steel ive used it for shims several times my self.
You can sure tell what machine Adam cut his teeth on or likes to operate, the "old" manual stuff Adam just flows he just makes the "old" machine sing, joy to watch
Love the old shop
Really enjoyed watching this one Adam, very educational, thank you for the video, from the UK
Excellent, enjoyed watching this Adam, good to see you back in the home shop ....
Look at that, the new vice at work.
Adam, you really should start stamping these one-off projects with your brand! Beautiful work, Sir! 👍👍👊👊
Love seeing this sort of content in the old shop, and how you explain so much about why doing things a certain way, and not another (such as why 50 tho on faceoff, or your boring bar size, or why using cutting oil, HSS cutter stuff, going in and out quick so you dont rub, etc - just little stuff like that. Ty
It's great to see you using the Hard Tail vice in an elevated position on the shaper table to carry out paid work. 👏👍
Thanks Adam; that is more than informative.
Totally cool, Abom! Start to finish machining AND how these parts were used! Thanks!
I feel like I haven't seen the new shop In a while. Happy with the home shop though😊
I would love to have a video every now and then of just showing the contents of one or more of your tool boxes. You have so many boxes and that could easily give you some content for your more curious viewers like myself. Much love as always from Texas.
Great job Adam!!! I don't know anything about machining but I do enjoy watching quality craftsmanship.
You know your evenings are going to be epic when Abom79 releases one of his EPIC videos!
This is the type of content I come to this channel for.
Totally missed that you were at the home shop. Been a while
Love seeing the parts in action
Great old school home shop/jobshop project. Always fun to see you work on stuff in your comfort zone because you're a master!

First! This was perfect. Thanks Adam!
I have to say Adam, that my heart was in my mouth when you had your hand stuck into that hardtail vice with the shaper tool right there and the thing de-clutched but running. I was so relieved that the thing didn't start to move, say, if the clutch picked up. I'd have the motor stopped before I did that.
Seven words that make algorithms love You.
51:17 I love seeing the broaching operation .. Especially on this old electric press .. it's the perfect speed for broachingtoo, far I think anyway! :)
Nice work Adam, as always thanks for the channel
Love the machine shop gray on the fireball vice. Looks like you'll have somebody to do all your broaching projects. Good job! Abby on the video
Brilliant. Loved this video. I worked in a GM factory. They had a machine that clamped the cast connecting rod by its large hole. Then two broaches, identical to what Adam has, came down on each side. The clamp had the slot for the broaches, on the outside of both sides of the casting.

First use of the Hard tail vice

that was a real treat seeing something you've made in operation. More of that if possible please.
Good content, nice to see the machined parts in action.
Adam you made it right , same precision at every video. Greetings from Germany.
Awesome video 😎thanks for sharing , it brings back memories of my job !
