I'm not certain I like the CNC aspect of Adam's new machine shop. For me, It takes out the human element in doing machine work I have been accustom to watching over the years. I guess I'm one of those guys who believe they should still be making horse and buggy whips. I'm not faulting his accomplishments, he is a self made man and is proof the American dream is not dead. I'm looking forward to his next video.
Dear Mr. Booth. When I said I still believe they should be making horse and buggy whips, that is very true. I only have an email address. I don't have any of the new methods of communicating. My idea of a phone is, I call you and we talk. Old school. Looking forward to your next video I do have a project I would like you to review and let me know if you can do it. It is making a part for a 9 inch model A South Bend lathe. Where do I send the project information? Thank you, Joe
I think you make fantastic content and it's amazing that we don't have to pay for it. Sometimes I do wish though that we could see more machining and less explanation. I've seen videos where you talk about that and you tell people to fast forward or get over it and I can understand that I agree that beggars can't be choosers but sometimes it just kind of ruins the flow of the video when you're trying to watch something and there's a lot of talking. As far as me personally you tend to over-explain things and repeat yourself a lot, kind of like I'm doing right now, and also explain things like we have no idea what machining is more basic knowledge of machining and I know that not everyone that watches your channel is a machinist or understands this stuff but the super in-depth isn't always necessary in my opinion. Try not to take this and any harsh way I appreciate your channel I appreciate what you do with think what you do is fantastic I just have my own opinions on certain things and that should be allowed. I'm really jealous of that granite and though
Wow. I’m blown away by you, NOW standing in a new shop surrounded by all new machines an only making parts for fun!!!! American Dream. Well ,American/Pacemaker Dream!!! Congrats big time.
I engraved with a 60 degree engraver for a long time but then at the recommendation of a friend I tried a ball nose end mill. Absolutely my prefered method from there forward. The smaller the tool the better the result. You don’t get that jagged burring and the text just comes out cleaner and more defined. It’s worth a try if you ever get the chance.
Have to agree most of the other comments liked ur channel alot better in the old shop. I'm just a home hobbyist and do it for fun. Nothing u have now in New shop nobody can afford nor do they need in a home shop. End of rant.
I have a different perspective. I too have been watching this content since long before the new shop. However, for me, most of those old tools were equally or even more 'out of reach'. Why? Because they were old American made tools that are not readily available unless you're willing to spend $30-40K on a NEW USA lathe, or you're willing to buy a used (ie, beat to within an inch of its life) lathe that you can then spend 2 years trying to refurbish. So I'm happy to see new machines. For example I don't need the large high-end Precision Matthews model lathe, but I might get the 2nd or 3rd tier product from PM. So people evolve. TH-camrs included. If the content isn't of interest any longer, no need to rant, just move on. It's not like he deleted his older content.
I’m surprised at the number of “you’ve gone corporate man, I’m outta here” comments. As a longtime viewer of this channel and not personally knowing Adam, I’m going to make an assumption that youtube viewer satisfaction and view count is nice, it’s a second or third to meeting/exceeding his clients needs and expectations and putting food on the table for his family. Times change, learning and mastering new technologies, machinery and processes positions him with a better chances of growing the business and his income potential into the future. I would imagine there’s tremendous meaningful enjoyment in the camaraderie he’s built with his vieweers/subscribers. However youtube pays far less then one would think even with a half million subscribers +. Congrats Adam, still love the channel, even if I can’t relate to the theme of every single video.
FWIW Adam, I LOVE watching the work YOU do running your tools. Not so much watching the computer run the tools for you. The end products are much the same but as soon as I see that it is going to be a computer video, I check out. When I see it is an "Adam" video I am all in. Partly, I will NEVER own any equipment even remotely like what you are showing us so I have a hard time identifying with what is being done. But more importantly, it was YOUR skill and know how that got me here in the first place and I miss the human element that was present in you earlier videos.
As much as I agree, he has ideas for production parts and tools to sell. He'd never be able to sell tools at "one off" pricing so the CNC is a need for him. I don't think we've seen the end of manual machining as he'll have plenty of items come in that would never be done in a CNC for a "One off". At least I hope this is true.
I love seeing your “mistakes”. It’s great reminder of, how learning works. Im sure it stuck with you about having the right disk, and CNC is new to me, so I learned something too. Thanks again man!
Cashing in on having so many subscribers. I am waiting for Adam to take delivery of a really comfortable recliner with massage and heat. Then he can create some levelling pads for that and sit in the middle of the machine shop and wait for delivery of more machines.
@@davidcat1455 I know what it means, and the fact you're accusing anyone who makes what you perceive to be a negative comment on here as being "Jealous", is evidence you are confused as to its meaning.
Adam, I am really enthusiastic about your new shop and your determination to learn new methods as quickly as possible. It is clear that some of your old viewers will not want to take this journey with you. It is also clear that some people who are already highly skilled in CNC machining will not welcome you since you are still learning. That means that you have to attract viewers who want to learn about the latest machining techniques and how they relate to the traditional methods. Watching you go through this transition should be quite valuable or at least entertaining for many TH-cam viewers. I think that your channel will continue to thrive, perhaps with a temporary dip during the transition. I do want to harp on one issue, though. The old Adam was very skilled at measuring and ensuring that parts were aligned relative to the machine. Of course the old Adam used hand measuring tools almost exclusively. From what I have seen, CNC machines have "tools" that fit into standard CNC tool holders. You can program them to find edges of parts, to very high precision. For instance, your leveling pucks have an outer diameter and a thickness. They should be circles of a certain size. If you had such a probing tool, it would be a nice learning exercise for you to write a program that uses this tool to find the dimensions of the puck, whether it is concentric under the axis of the mill, and whether the part's dimensions are within spec. The first version of this test program would simply return the measurements and whether or not they were in spec. The second version would take these measurements and give them to the program that does the cutting. For example, if the measuring instrument finds that the center of the disk is at x,y = (0.150,-0.032) mm, your cutting program could adjust x and y positions to compensate. The same goes for the z axis. Suppose the top of the disk is 5.0001 cm instead of 5 cm. You could then compensate for the puck thickness. The nice thing about measurement programs is that they don't cut any chips, so you can use them any time you want. The old Adam knew the value of extra measurements and double-checks on complex layouts. I'm certain that the new Adam will want to do the same, even when the methods have changed.
I am not a machinist myself, but with a scientific background I do love measurements, especially precision ones. I did a very simple search on TH-cam and found a channel called Way of the Mill that had a video called Introduction to CNC Probing. The first half or so describes what a CNC probe is and how it works. It appears that Haas Engineering produces a lot of material on something called a Renishaw Probe. Of course, that material assumes that you want to buy into their line of products. Perhaps you can check with the people who are teaching you about CNC programming. They might be able to help you find the simplest and cheapest way to get started.
great comment it is a learning path for him and the attention to detail was always a favored aspect of his work for me....I bet he will make it happen in the future
Hope I'm not being overbearing, but I did find a TH-cam video that I have been searching for. The channel name is Edge Precision and the title is Facing A Large Aluminum Forging. The author takes a 650 lb aluminum forging that has been bandsawed into an approximate cubic rectangle. He has a big 5-axis CNC mill and wants to turn the piece into a precise cubic rectangle of a precise dimension. To align it, he starts with manual checks, then puts a dial indicator directly into the tool holder of the mill. Later he uses a Renishaw probe to generate high-precision offsets for his program. Later qualification tests are often with manual measuring tools.
Very cool! Having just bought myself a cheap little 3018 desktop CNC router, and jumping into CAD, CAM, and G Code completely blind, I completely understand the "because I can" attitude for machining those blocks.. especially when we all know it could have easily been done in your lathe instead. Ive been engraving and milling any piece of plastic, wood, resin or other soft material I can find just to put time into learning and enjoying using it! Still remember your first videos with a phone ... you've come a long way! Congrats! Hope 2023 is a great year!
Love learning this new CNC from the perspective of someone who isn't a pro at it already. One day I plan to have a hobby shop and by then I'm sure CNC will be accessible enough to be part of it too. Can't wait!
Love how you are using simple, low-precision, parts like these leveling feet to ease yourself into CNC operations. It takes time to get comfortable with it but you will get there! That said it is awesome to see you still rocking the manual equipment too.
Another neat learning experience from Adam. The heat shrink method of mounting cutting tools is new to me and very interesting. If the insert cutting edges are perfectly concentric with the shaft you get zero runout and the same load on each tooth. As Winky would say “I like it!”
I also had the Haimer station at work - it was perfect - and i daily use indexable and carbide mills for high performance operations. I recommend you to buy weldon chucks for the heavy work, because the shrink chucks are really precisely but have no good clamping force. If a tool will loose its grip in the chuck, u ruin chuck, toolshaft workpiece and, maybe, parts of your machine. There is also a new kind of tool chuck from swizerland on the market, called "mold chuck".
I am so glad to see stuff coming out of the new shop! I feel like I have been waiting a year to see you play with the new toys! I didn’t understand why you didn’t just do the whole thing on the CNC lathe. Of course when you did the engraving at the end it explained why you did it on the mill. As always, great work and thanks for your time!
Adam one of my favorite things you do on this channel is take stuff that looks pretty flat to a normal person, measure it with crazy precision, and then make it really, really, really flat. This table is as great an addition to your flattening toolkit as that big beautiful shaper in your other shop. I look forward to seeing you use it!
I can't wait for part 2 when that plate is set in there. He said it has some inserts which I'm extremely excited to see in action. Not many online videos feature plates like this so I'm sure we'll get to see some cool tools on top of that thing.
Got some fond memories of rolling around the 5 gallon metal can of lube on a cart and refilling my machines. Basically what Adam has on top of the 5 gallon pail, but we had metal buckets that got refilled from 55 gallon drums instead of the individual plastic containers Adam buys. And, they were on wheels. So, so much Vactra way oil. We had rolling 5 gallon cans with pumps of 2 and 4 IIRC. My machines needed a shitload of Velocite 10 compared to most in the shop, and with the occasional Velocite 6. Mostly 10 though.
Great stuff, as always. Gotta say, I got a real good laugh when you were heating up those holders and then checked them to see if they were cool. First thing that ran through my head was, "Yeah, that guy's definitely not a blacksmith!" First rule in the smithy - absolutely never use the inside of the fingers/hand to check if a piece is hot. If you're not sure, tap at it with the back of your hand. Otherwise, you end up with a lot of burns and blisters on the most sensitive part, the grip that's always needing to grip tongs and hammers. 😁
Another fantastic video! 👏 Can't wait for video nr2😄 When engraving I tried to add a facing operation after engraving, just a hair to get all burrs out from the lines. Did improve the results for me!
What ever happened to the good old days when Adam was so enthusiastic to find different ways to use the shaper? Not that the machine was efficient, it was just a challenge to find different ways to set jobs up. I really enjoyed the old video’s, but nothing lasts forever. l guess he just sees a better road to go down.
“What ever happened to that guy who swept the floors?” Ohh, he learned how to run the machines he swept under and now he is running the company. People hated on Adam for using the shaper, guess nothing will change. Be sure to like and subscribe! 😂
Got damn that stand is a beauty. Also you can tell Abom doesn’t pay for his CRC products he may as well have used the whole can on that chuck restoration lol
Been watching Adam's videos from day one. Ain't gonna change because of some snarky. Thanx Adam for your content, commitment, and sharing your knowledge with us.😃😃😃😃😃
Thank you for the instructional videos, Mr Booth. Setting up for work is just as much work as making chips and hitting tolerances, and I appreciate all the hard work you two are clearly putting in :)
I went to a caterpillar master mechanic school in Singapore after the 8 days of school the instructor took us to eat then the reman facilities in Singapore they have a room with a starret granite plate the plate was I’m dead serious it’s was 20’x20’ in an air conditioned room it was the most amazing thing I’d ever seen then we went to the dyno room man that place was awsome
It's really nice when other people pay for all your new toys. I honestly think this entire shop is funded by youtube and patrion. This shop does not do enough work to keep itself afloat at all. But hey, he does what he loves and gets paid to do it👍👍👍
Patreon only made enough to pay for a used forklift with a dead battery....he was devastated! We could feel his disappointment! Shame on those miserly Patreon supporters!
I end up getting caught up in abom marathons and every time I think about the extra work on top of the machining. And to still put out quality content, video after video. Respect . I am about to start a youtube channel with my cousin since we have managed to pile a couple nice tools into a little maker space and guys like you, nycnc, mr pete and others have been pretty inspirational. American Manufacturing isn't dead and hopefully with the climate of global politics there will be a boom again. Once I complete my engineering degree I hope to be a part of it. Thanks Abom for keeping a nerd entertained on his off time
I'm a software developer and don't even have a machine tool but I feel like I know so much about the field. Most of that is due to this channel. Been watching for a long time now and I really appreciate the knowledge you've passed on to me. One day I'll have my hobby shop! To all the haters, I'm not wasting my time arguing with you over your bs. Either watch or don't. As for myself and many others, we stick by Abom79. This past year or so of building the shop has changed the content no doubt but honestly I prefer the change. I enjoy learning what goes on behind the operations and the work it takes to set these things up and keep things running smoothly. I also understand that Adam is taking on a new skill, CNC. As far as I can tell, he is doing it bc he loves the trade. When the shop is fully done and the jobs start up at a higher frequency I will be there to learn more about CNC from the perspective of someone learning. Keep it up Adam!
I do not know why people cannot feel they way you do (and how I feel as well) it is clear to anyone that has watched this channel a long time that Adam has had a series of life changing events some bad and some very good and he has decided to keep doing what he loves when he can while he enjoys hos life and builds new skills for the future and he is not just going to rush rush rush to do that because he does not have to and because he wants to enjoy life while he can.....which I think is the crux of this (non) "issue" and that is Adam is enjoying HIS LIFE and others are not enjoying theirs
@@ptv1250 did he learn how to be a traditional machinist in months?....I doubt it especially to the point he was ready to showcase what skills he had on youtube or anywhere else....even with those traditional skills I would imagine it is going to take him longer than a few months to get proficient enough that he can showcase work on youtube especially with the number of learn it over night machining/CNC/youtube channel experts his comment section seems to have curated
@@rodrod383 Why do people feel different than you do, and why does it bother you? Do you expect everyone to agree with you? Surely, you don't believe that.
@@rodrod383 Let me ask another way: I don't agree with you at all, I think this channel has gone down hill, but I'm not here telling you to shut up. Why are you here telling other people who express an opinion you don't like, to shut up?
@@ptv1250 because someone does not do something on the timeline you think they should that makes them "scared"......I think Adam is simply doing things on his timeline and enjoying his life and his new shop and I doubt he enjoys the fact that a few seem so upset about that, but I am sure he realizes there will always be miserable people especially in the comments of youtube and he can move on with enjoying his life and his shop and his new equipment on his terms free of any concern for those that are upset by that or their sophomoric attempts to justify their butt hurt
I love the little tricks along the way. I've been turning a lot of different sized bolts lately, so just wish I had heard or thought of wrapping wire around before.
I'm just gonna be honest I love your work and I could understand owning a shop and buying a CNC for specific purposes and of course having all of this stuff is nice to have depending on the situation but an indexable endmill in a shrink fit holder is not needed no matter what situation you are in. Rough the pocket out with it in an endmill holder it's just a whole with a set screw and if you need 10ths precision throw a solid carbide endmill in the shrink fit. When you go to remove that you'll probably weld the holders together
Abom you get a lot of flack for all your fancy new equipment -- people saying you sold out or whatever. Screw those people man. You love what you do and have fun doing it and we're all lucky that you bring us in to your world. I've learned so much over the years watching your videos. I'm thankful you're here big guy!
Hi, I’d be enthusiastic about about you announcing that you two are going to resume a fresh diet that it seems you abandoned a few years back. Just wishing you health and prosperity.
Exactly my thought. There is not much room left in there for more machines. Working there with big parts will be dificulty. I remember the big parts he made when he was still employed.
Hi Adam, nice job with the leveling feet! I was thinking about your holding the bolts to face them. You could also use a collet and or brass shim stock around threads, lol!
Guys. Been a follower of this channel for years but loosing interest. Seems its just show casing gifted products. Such a shame as he is a good machinist and a great bloke, no doubt about that but got sucked in by the freebees. Anyhow all is not lost as theres still the stalwarts around. Keith Fenner, K Rucker. Stefan Gotswinter and good old reliable Tom Lipton and the fairly new boy on the block Kirt from Cutting Edge Engineering. Hes smart ( I know this cos Im a machinist with over 50 years under the belt) hard working, great content and well filmed and edited. All credit to his missus. What a team! I wish them well.
Agreed - I really love Cutting Edge Engineering. Kurtis and Karen are a force of nature! The fanciness of the machinery involved here has become unrelatable (if entertaining), while the machining projects have become mostly extremely basic. A thing I've noticed in business is that your track record has a shelf life: you have to keep jobs moving out to keep inquiries moving in. I suspect Adam has let his book of machining clients go cold in the last couple years of making lifestyle and product-placement content. I feel like Adam could turn this around, but it might take some struggle. Of the projects in his old stuff, I felt that the automotive projects were particularly interesting and might make the best use of all the fancy CNC machines, fancy vises, etc. I'd love to see some of those older style projects re-done with the fancy new stuff.
Kurtis' channel has grown very quickly. He has almost as many subscribers as Adam, but has only been going 2.5yrs. I think Kurtis with Karen's editing skills have found the sweet spot. I like Adam but his recent content feels a bit drawn out and hope he can get back to how he made content 2-3 yrs ago.
Keith has a computerized plasma cutter and now has a Wazer and a highly sophisticated scanner. Adam is young and dabbling in technology and expanding his horizons. Nothing wrong with that in my opinion.
Prior to this video I watched Cutting Edge Engineering Australia where Curtis made 13 of those setting pads, he got on with the job, not fart around like you have
Prior to this video I watched a video of the biggest losers on the internet who have no life and feel the need to spread negativity. Graham Bitch was the #1 loser
Cutting Edge Engineering is about showing a real machinist doing real work on equipment that shows it's been used for real work. When he gets in a 'new' machine it's not showroom new, it's something that's stood the test of time that he knows will take the stress of the sort of work he does. He makes parts and does repairs on heavy mining equipment that companies need to have working to make a profit. Adam used to do the same thing with the parts he'd make. You notice when he has to do any serious machining, it's on his old well used equipment. I doubt any of the new equipment has even seen coolant in the sumps. He's running out of room though. I mean where will the sponsored waterjet cutting machine go?
Abom's channel is not on machining anymore. It is an excellent (maybe the best) channel to demonstrate how to build a youtube business and have a full useless workshop offered by sponsors, sitting there for not producing anything. But be carefull too much free stuff from too many companies and each of them will appear less and less on the channel...Watch out. Verry expensive cnc machines sleeping in the background for months...not good for marketing purposes. Minutes for unwrapping à box brings the unboxing business to another level.
@@DCogs1 But it didn't cost hundreds of thousands of dollars, either. And all this effort, for basically flat video views that could've been done in the home shop without spending all this time and money on new equipment.
Hi Adam, drill the vent hole in that pump lid large enough to fit the fill tube in with a rubber grommet and you won't have to worry about drips from ththe tube or dirt getting into the oil...
Great video 👍 I enjoy seeing all the new machinery and tooling coming into your shop 👍 I just don't understand why others can't stand it when someone else's years of hard work and dedication start to pay off. Do not stop making your content because of them. Your workload is going to skyrocket and videoing is going to get even harder than it already is. Keep up the great work 👍 There are far more of us viewers that learn and enjoy your work than the ones that don't.
I primarily watch to see all these tools and learn what their purpose is, so new tools are really cool to watch. After years of watching I can say some of the magic has worn off of watching someone manually align, face, turn diameter, and part off a piece in a lathe. It sounds like the other people just want to watch him do that forever not realizing his old videos are there to rewatch all they want. Plus lately it seems like he's getting back to using the tools like making these feet.
@@bac1308 it is funny there are a million channels out there of "making chips" and massive chunks of metal on laths, but they are boring as hell because it is some junk shop in china or somewhere similar with no talking, no explanation of anything, and no personality and nothing but just large metal getting smaller....here we have a guy with a lot of skills from older methods, but he wants to translate them to newer things and take us along for the ride....but some just want to cry and complain the whole way when there are so many other places doing the same thing over again with no personality and nothing to really teach or learn from
@@andrewterry8092 maybe the point is Adam is enjoying his life and his shop and equipment on his terms now while he can and he is not interested nor does he need to be captive to or concerned with holding on to a handful of flightly youtube subscribers/........ and he has enough confidence in himself and his skills and abilities to know that he will be just fine no matter what happens with a few people that are upset that he has a nice shop full of new equipment that he does not utilize in a way that makes THEM happy
@@rodrod383 Hey, forget about my opinion, just look at the views over the past year. CEE is proof of how many views good content can generate, and the last year here with Abom79 views have not done well compared to history, and certainly not compared to the time and money invested in the new direction.
Not to be a downer, but, your shop has gone from something I could relate too, to a fantasy of, if I won the lottery. How about sharing the direction you’re heading to sustain it all. Maybe a format along the lines of CEE?
High psi on the floor in the office will leave indentations in the floor tiles that will have to be fixed in the future. I might do a little math and not shoot from the hip. The load was high before but those recesses in the bottom of the pads just sent the pressure through the stratosphere.
Yes not sure why adam did this. 3350/4 = 837 lbs per leg, flat bottomed. With 4“ bar, removing the inner surface except for a 1/2“ wide ring on the outside. My rough calculations increase the pressure, changes from 66 psi to 150 psi per leg. If my math is good.
Very nice. Your going to next levels on precision with with the granite. We had 14 foot granite surface and a smaller one at work. We could sign up to use the smaller one. I never measured it but three of four people could easily work on it at the same time with extra room to spare. It make everything easier.

This is gotta be so exciting for you too learn all this new stuff you learned from your dad the ways of old but this is what makes you who you are today I remember when my dad had to learn CNC in the early 90 and Went to school he was a machinist for GM he was a old school machinist like your dad he was a perfectionist even when he was working on stuff like wood or taking down a tree it didn't matter that's was the way he did things love this GODSPEED

@@stuartschaffner9744 No, but I like his videos. I myself work in my workshop on small CNC machines, lathes and normal milling machines while sitting in a wheelchair. I had polio when I was a child. Thanks for your comment!
@@Ademann , that's an inspiring story. My mother had polio when I was 5 and was partially crippled the rest of her life. Are you engaged full time in outside professional work? If, like Stefan, you do some machining just for yourself or for friends, perhaps you could cooperate on a project with Adam.
@@stuartschaffner9744 I work professionally 50-60 hours a week. The main occupation is repairing bicycles and wheelchairs.

He's a super good professional. I don't know if I'm at his level. He's too good.
Once upon a time, I was troubleshooting an air compressor that was overheating. It had a3/4” cooling water line that ran to it. I wanted to verify that we were getting cooling water flow, so I grabbed the line with my bare hand. Turned out the solenoid valve that turned flow on had failed, so we were not getting any cooling water flow. Needless to say, this taught me not to check the temperature of things with my hand!
Looked at this after I posted it, and realized it might need a bit more detail. I first grabbed the cooling water line on the supply side of the valve. Our cooling water was in the ranfe of 60F, so it felt nice and cool. The I grabbed on the discharge side of the valve. Since we were getting no glow, the water on that side was quite hot.

Wow. I’m blown away by you, NOW standing in a new shop surrounded by all new machines an only making parts for fun!!!! American Dream. Well ,American/Pacemaker Dream!!! Congrats big time.
I engraved with a 60 degree engraver for a long time but then at the recommendation of a friend I tried a ball nose end mill. Absolutely my prefered method from there forward. The smaller the tool the better the result. You don’t get that jagged burring and the text just comes out cleaner and more defined. It’s worth a try if you ever get the chance.
Bless your good fortune, but I miss the "Home Shop" content.
Have to agree most of the other comments liked ur channel alot better in the old shop. I'm just a home hobbyist and do it for fun. Nothing u have now in New shop nobody can afford nor do they need in a home shop. End of rant.
I have a different perspective. I too have been watching this content since long before the new shop. However, for me, most of those old tools were equally or even more 'out of reach'. Why? Because they were old American made tools that are not readily available unless you're willing to spend $30-40K on a NEW USA lathe, or you're willing to buy a used (ie, beat to within an inch of its life) lathe that you can then spend 2 years trying to refurbish. So I'm happy to see new machines. For example I don't need the large high-end Precision Matthews model lathe, but I might get the 2nd or 3rd tier product from PM. So people evolve. TH-camrs included. If the content isn't of interest any longer, no need to rant, just move on. It's not like he deleted his older content.
Absolutely! I like your longer vids! Not sure why you flipped the format toward the end but no worries! Keep ‘em coming!
you mean the VVS at the end? yeah, VVS sucks.
I’m surprised at the number of “you’ve gone corporate man, I’m outta here” comments. As a longtime viewer of this channel and not personally knowing Adam, I’m going to make an assumption that youtube viewer satisfaction and view count is nice, it’s a second or third to meeting/exceeding his clients needs and expectations and putting food on the table for his family. Times change, learning and mastering new technologies, machinery and processes positions him with a better chances of growing the business and his income potential into the future. I would imagine there’s tremendous meaningful enjoyment in the camaraderie he’s built with his vieweers/subscribers. However youtube pays far less then one would think even with a half million subscribers +. Congrats Adam, still love the channel, even if I can’t relate to the theme of every single video.
FWIW Adam, I LOVE watching the work YOU do running your tools. Not so much watching the computer run the tools for you. The end products are much the same but as soon as I see that it is going to be a computer video, I check out. When I see it is an "Adam" video I am all in. Partly, I will NEVER own any equipment even remotely like what you are showing us so I have a hard time identifying with what is being done. But more importantly, it was YOUR skill and know how that got me here in the first place and I miss the human element that was present in you earlier videos.
As much as I agree, he has ideas for production parts and tools to sell. He'd never be able to sell tools at "one off" pricing so the CNC is a need for him. I don't think we've seen the end of manual machining as he'll have plenty of items come in that would never be done in a CNC for a "One off". At least I hope this is true.
I love seeing your “mistakes”. It’s great reminder of, how learning works. Im sure it stuck with you about having the right disk, and CNC is new to me, so I learned something too. Thanks again man!
Cashing in on having so many subscribers. I am waiting for Adam to take delivery of a really comfortable recliner with massage and heat. Then he can create some levelling pads for that and sit in the middle of the machine shop and wait for delivery of more machines.
I prefer too see him fabricate one.
I didn’t realise America had so many jealous people.
@@davidcat1455 I didn't realise so many people are confused about jealousy
@@colinfahidi9983
What does “ confused, about jealousy “ even mean? Nothing to be confused about. It’s a pretty simple definition, look it up.
@@davidcat1455 I know what it means, and the fact you're accusing anyone who makes what you perceive to be a negative comment on here as being "Jealous", is evidence you are confused as to its meaning.
I am always appreciative of any content that you are willing to post on your channel, Adam. Also, thank you to Abby for her assistance.
The leveling pads seem like a perfect job for your CNC lathe. Repetitive ops and identical parts.
That fibbonacci spiral on those round CNC router cuts... Golden triangle. So pretty to watch that.
Awesome new table too. killer addition.
Thank you for taking the time to visit today.
Adam, I am really enthusiastic about your new shop and your determination to learn new methods as quickly as possible. It is clear that some of your old viewers will not want to take this journey with you. It is also clear that some people who are already highly skilled in CNC machining will not welcome you since you are still learning. That means that you have to attract viewers who want to learn about the latest machining techniques and how they relate to the traditional methods. Watching you go through this transition should be quite valuable or at least entertaining for many TH-cam viewers. I think that your channel will continue to thrive, perhaps with a temporary dip during the transition.
I do want to harp on one issue, though. The old Adam was very skilled at measuring and ensuring that parts were aligned relative to the machine. Of course the old Adam used hand measuring tools almost exclusively. From what I have seen, CNC machines have "tools" that fit into standard CNC tool holders. You can program them to find edges of parts, to very high precision. For instance, your leveling pucks have an outer diameter and a thickness. They should be circles of a certain size. If you had such a probing tool, it would be a nice learning exercise for you to write a program that uses this tool to find the dimensions of the puck, whether it is concentric under the axis of the mill, and whether the part's dimensions are within spec. The first version of this test program would simply return the measurements and whether or not they were in spec.
The second version would take these measurements and give them to the program that does the cutting. For example, if the measuring instrument finds that the center of the disk is at x,y = (0.150,-0.032) mm, your cutting program could adjust x and y positions to compensate. The same goes for the z axis. Suppose the top of the disk is 5.0001 cm instead of 5 cm. You could then compensate for the puck thickness.
The nice thing about measurement programs is that they don't cut any chips, so you can use them any time you want. The old Adam knew the value of extra measurements and double-checks on complex layouts. I'm certain that the new Adam will want to do the same, even when the methods have changed.
I am not a machinist myself, but with a scientific background I do love measurements, especially precision ones. I did a very simple search on TH-cam and found a channel called Way of the Mill that had a video called Introduction to CNC Probing. The first half or so describes what a CNC probe is and how it works. It appears that Haas Engineering produces a lot of material on something called a Renishaw Probe. Of course, that material assumes that you want to buy into their line of products. Perhaps you can check with the people who are teaching you about CNC programming. They might be able to help you find the simplest and cheapest way to get started.
great comment it is a learning path for him and the attention to detail was always a favored aspect of his work for me....I bet he will make it happen in the future
Hope I'm not being overbearing, but I did find a TH-cam video that I have been searching for. The channel name is Edge Precision and the title is Facing A Large Aluminum Forging. The author takes a 650 lb aluminum forging that has been bandsawed into an approximate cubic rectangle. He has a big 5-axis CNC mill and wants to turn the piece into a precise cubic rectangle of a precise dimension. To align it, he starts with manual checks, then puts a dial indicator directly into the tool holder of the mill. Later he uses a Renishaw probe to generate high-precision offsets for his program. Later qualification tests are often with manual measuring tools.
Very cool! Having just bought myself a cheap little 3018 desktop CNC router, and jumping into CAD, CAM, and G Code completely blind, I completely understand the "because I can" attitude for machining those blocks.. especially when we all know it could have easily been done in your lathe instead. Ive been engraving and milling any piece of plastic, wood, resin or other soft material I can find just to put time into learning and enjoying using it!
Still remember your first videos with a phone ... you've come a long way! Congrats! Hope 2023 is a great year!
Enjoying watching you build proficiency with the CNC gear. Never be intimidated by learning something new.
Love learning this new CNC from the perspective of someone who isn't a pro at it already. One day I plan to have a hobby shop and by then I'm sure CNC will be accessible enough to be part of it too. Can't wait!
Your new toys are wonderful, and watching you get comfortable with the CNC is fun too. It's like magic to someone born in '42.
Love how you are using simple, low-precision, parts like these leveling feet to ease yourself into CNC operations. It takes time to get comfortable with it but you will get there! That said it is awesome to see you still rocking the manual equipment too.
I do not get anything out of these videos where the cnc equipment is used. I like the old saturday night special much better.
Jealous of the warm weather and green trees. I was 8 here this morning. Enjoying seeing the mix of manual and CNC work,
Another neat learning experience from Adam. The heat shrink method of mounting cutting tools is new to me and very interesting. If the insert cutting edges are perfectly concentric with the shaft you get zero runout and the same load on each tooth. As Winky would say “I like it!”
Thanks for being you Adam :) I appreciate being able to watch you work. I've learned so much from your approach and mindset as you learn
I also had the Haimer station at work - it was perfect - and i daily use indexable and carbide mills for high performance operations. I recommend you to buy weldon chucks for the heavy work, because the shrink chucks are really precisely but have no good clamping force. If a tool will loose its grip in the chuck, u ruin chuck, toolshaft workpiece and, maybe, parts of your machine. There is also a new kind of tool chuck from swizerland on the market, called "mold chuck".
I am so glad to see stuff coming out of the new shop! I feel like I have been waiting a year to see you play with the new toys! I didn’t understand why you didn’t just do the whole thing on the CNC lathe. Of course when you did the engraving at the end it explained why you did it on the mill. As always, great work and thanks for your time!
This is where I come to relax. Nice job, Adam.
Those milled surfaces at differnt feeds speaks volume about that Haimer Tool Holding System im happy to see the development in your Shop
Adam one of my favorite things you do on this channel is take stuff that looks pretty flat to a normal person, measure it with crazy precision, and then make it really, really, really flat. This table is as great an addition to your flattening toolkit as that big beautiful shaper in your other shop. I look forward to seeing you use it!
I can't wait for part 2 when that plate is set in there. He said it has some inserts which I'm extremely excited to see in action. Not many online videos feature plates like this so I'm sure we'll get to see some cool tools on top of that thing.
No more SNS? This was certainly worthy!
Got some fond memories of rolling around the 5 gallon metal can of lube on a cart and refilling my machines. Basically what Adam has on top of the 5 gallon pail, but we had metal buckets that got refilled from 55 gallon drums instead of the individual plastic containers Adam buys. And, they were on wheels.
So, so much Vactra way oil. We had rolling 5 gallon cans with pumps of 2 and 4 IIRC. My machines needed a shitload of Velocite 10 compared to most in the shop, and with the occasional Velocite 6. Mostly 10 though.
Great stuff, as always. Gotta say, I got a real good laugh when you were heating up those holders and then checked them to see if they were cool. First thing that ran through my head was, "Yeah, that guy's definitely not a blacksmith!" First rule in the smithy - absolutely never use the inside of the fingers/hand to check if a piece is hot. If you're not sure, tap at it with the back of your hand. Otherwise, you end up with a lot of burns and blisters on the most sensitive part, the grip that's always needing to grip tongs and hammers. 😁
It's awesome to see how well you take care of your equipment, clean and tidy !!!
Not producing anything. Keeping clean is easy and a must for a showroom
@@crazyb1443 Don't forget CRC!
Another fantastic video! 👏
Can't wait for video nr2😄
When engraving I tried to add a facing operation after engraving, just a hair to get all burrs out from the lines. Did improve the results for me!
wow its Christmas all year at Booth Machine Shop!
Wish there would be more machining and work being done then all these unboxing vids. Glad u got nice equipment but cmon let's see it being used.
I've taken him out of my favorites list because of it and the endless tours of other shops which should be on Abomb adventures.
Not sure how long you watched but I would say 75% of this video was machining work and Him learning how to use all of that new equipment!
@@monkeywentbananas I've been watching him from the very beginning, and honestly I miss the days when it was all about chips-flying.
Can’t you go into your machine shop and do it yourself if you crave it so much?
The video title is machining feet, and the whole video is him machining feet.
THE NICE THING IS TO SEE YOUR SHOP IS FULL OF AWESOME EQUIPMENT
What ever happened to the good old days when Adam was so enthusiastic to find different ways to use the shaper? Not that the machine was efficient, it was just a challenge to find different ways to set jobs up. I really enjoyed the old video’s, but nothing lasts forever. l guess he just sees a better road to go down.
“What ever happened to that guy who swept the floors?”
Ohh, he learned how to run the machines he swept under and now he is running the company.
People hated on Adam for using the shaper, guess nothing will change.
Be sure to like and subscribe! 😂
Got damn that stand is a beauty. Also you can tell Abom doesn’t pay for his CRC products he may as well have used the whole can on that chuck restoration lol
Damn! I haven't watched for a while, things sure have changed around the shop! All looks amazing.
Been watching Adam's videos from day one. Ain't gonna change because of some snarky. Thanx Adam for your content, commitment, and sharing your knowledge with us.😃😃😃😃😃
Havent been watching from day one. But been watching for a long time and like you not gonna let the jerks ruin my enjoyment :)
Yes Adam thanks
Awesome work, awesome machine, I'd love to have a Bridgeport from 1938! And a lathe to match!
This could be the year we see Abom in Fusion 360 ... once he gets past the learning curve he'll be hooked!
Powder coat job on that cabinet is amazing
I usually thread on a nut, and clamp it over the hex of the the nut and bolt.
Thank you for the instructional videos, Mr Booth. Setting up for work is just as much work as making chips and hitting tolerances, and I appreciate all the hard work you two are clearly putting in :)
I went to a caterpillar master mechanic school in Singapore after the 8 days of school the instructor took us to eat then the reman facilities in Singapore they have a room with a starret granite plate the plate was I’m dead serious it’s was 20’x20’ in an air conditioned room it was the most amazing thing I’d ever seen then we went to the dyno room man that place was awsome
Screw all of the negative, great job man. Youre Dad and Grandpa are looking at ya from heaven with huge smiles . Keep it coming Adam.
You really filled the new shop with some amazing new tools and machines in no time..well done!
I'm excited for the Flex machine to do something big and also some nice size shafts on that Pacemaker.
It's really nice when other people pay for all your new toys. I honestly think this entire shop is funded by youtube and patrion. This shop does not do enough work to keep itself afloat at all. But hey, he does what he loves and gets paid to do it👍👍👍
Patreon only made enough to pay for a used forklift with a dead battery....he was devastated! We could feel his disappointment! Shame on those miserly Patreon supporters!
I end up getting caught up in abom marathons and every time I think about the extra work on top of the machining. And to still put out quality content, video after video. Respect . I am about to start a youtube channel with my cousin since we have managed to pile a couple nice tools into a little maker space and guys like you, nycnc, mr pete and others have been pretty inspirational. American Manufacturing isn't dead and hopefully with the climate of global politics there will be a boom again. Once I complete my engineering degree I hope to be a part of it. Thanks Abom for keeping a nerd entertained on his off time
Throw out a link once you start it and ill be your first sub, I'm always ready for new machining vids.
I'm a software developer and don't even have a machine tool but I feel like I know so much about the field. Most of that is due to this channel. Been watching for a long time now and I really appreciate the knowledge you've passed on to me. One day I'll have my hobby shop!
To all the haters, I'm not wasting my time arguing with you over your bs. Either watch or don't. As for myself and many others, we stick by Abom79. This past year or so of building the shop has changed the content no doubt but honestly I prefer the change. I enjoy learning what goes on behind the operations and the work it takes to set these things up and keep things running smoothly. I also understand that Adam is taking on a new skill, CNC. As far as I can tell, he is doing it bc he loves the trade. When the shop is fully done and the jobs start up at a higher frequency I will be there to learn more about CNC from the perspective of someone learning.
Keep it up Adam!
I do not know why people cannot feel they way you do (and how I feel as well) it is clear to anyone that has watched this channel a long time that Adam has had a series of life changing events some bad and some very good and he has decided to keep doing what he loves when he can while he enjoys hos life and builds new skills for the future and he is not just going to rush rush rush to do that because he does not have to and because he wants to enjoy life while he can.....which I think is the crux of this (non) "issue" and that is Adam is enjoying HIS LIFE and others are not enjoying theirs
@@ptv1250 did he learn how to be a traditional machinist in months?....I doubt it especially to the point he was ready to showcase what skills he had on youtube or anywhere else....even with those traditional skills I would imagine it is going to take him longer than a few months to get proficient enough that he can showcase work on youtube especially with the number of learn it over night machining/CNC/youtube channel experts his comment section seems to have curated
@@rodrod383 Why do people feel different than you do, and why does it bother you? Do you expect everyone to agree with you? Surely, you don't believe that.
@@rodrod383 Let me ask another way: I don't agree with you at all, I think this channel has gone down hill, but I'm not here telling you to shut up. Why are you here telling other people who express an opinion you don't like, to shut up?
@@ptv1250 because someone does not do something on the timeline you think they should that makes them "scared"......I think Adam is simply doing things on his timeline and enjoying his life and his new shop and I doubt he enjoys the fact that a few seem so upset about that, but I am sure he realizes there will always be miserable people especially in the comments of youtube and he can move on with enjoying his life and his shop and his new equipment on his terms free of any concern for those that are upset by that or their sophomoric attempts to justify their butt hurt
I love the little tricks along the way. I've been turning a lot of different sized bolts lately, so just wish I had heard or thought of wrapping wire around before.
Many thanks for showing that tool holder heat machine, I've never seen anything like it, that's really awesome
your new building is coming along nicely my friend, always enjoy watching what youre up to.
all that machine to make an ashtray.......😉😉🤣🤣
I'm just gonna be honest I love your work and I could understand owning a shop and buying a CNC for specific purposes and of course having all of this stuff is nice to have depending on the situation but an indexable endmill in a shrink fit holder is not needed no matter what situation you are in. Rough the pocket out with it in an endmill holder it's just a whole with a set screw and if you need 10ths precision throw a solid carbide endmill in the shrink fit. When you go to remove that you'll probably weld the holders together
Abom you get a lot of flack for all your fancy new equipment -- people saying you sold out or whatever. Screw those people man. You love what you do and have fun doing it and we're all lucky that you bring us in to your world. I've learned so much over the years watching your videos. I'm thankful you're here big guy!
I agree totally. Thanks Adam. You are great.
that heat and cooling tool change system is something else. very nice 👍🙂
Love seeing Adam learning CNC. Thanks for sharing 👍
Hi, I’d be enthusiastic about about you announcing that you two are going to resume a fresh diet that it seems you abandoned a few years back. Just wishing you health and prosperity.
You are such a little fellow.
I bet you wouldn't say that to his face.
The best part of having CNC capacity is to engrave everything 👍
Watching your cnc machine in action is so fascinating. Thank you for sharing! It was a beautiful day here in central Florida too.
The showroom is getting full.
It’s a TH-cam filming studio
Exactly my thought. There is not much room left in there for more machines. Working there with big parts will be dificulty. I remember the big parts he made when he was still employed.
@@karolaneuer5506 Those days are sadly gone.
Can't even use the forklift properly with so much crap in the way. Lol.

After watching your videos for almost nine years, I still love watching you’re content which has evolved in a good way.
Anche quando passa minuti a scartare i pacchi? Io, invece, mi sono stancato ed abbandono. Buon divertimento.
I liked this video a lot I am looking forward to the future
Hi Adam, nice job with the leveling feet! I was thinking about your holding the bolts to face them. You could also use a collet and or brass shim stock around threads, lol!
Guys.
Been a follower of this channel for years but loosing interest. Seems its just show casing gifted products. Such a shame as he is a good machinist and a great bloke, no doubt about that but got sucked in by the freebees.
Anyhow all is not lost as theres still the stalwarts around. Keith Fenner, K Rucker. Stefan Gotswinter and good old reliable Tom Lipton and the fairly new boy on the block Kirt from Cutting Edge Engineering. Hes smart ( I know this cos Im a machinist with over 50 years under the belt) hard working, great content and well filmed and edited. All credit to his missus. What a team! I wish them well.
CEE kind of reminds me when Abom was at Motion Industries, I think that is when Abom picked up a bunch a subscribers.
Can't forget Steve Summers!
Agreed - I really love Cutting Edge Engineering. Kurtis and Karen are a force of nature!
The fanciness of the machinery involved here has become unrelatable (if entertaining), while the machining projects have become mostly extremely basic. A thing I've noticed in business is that your track record has a shelf life: you have to keep jobs moving out to keep inquiries moving in. I suspect Adam has let his book of machining clients go cold in the last couple years of making lifestyle and product-placement content.
I feel like Adam could turn this around, but it might take some struggle. Of the projects in his old stuff, I felt that the automotive projects were particularly interesting and might make the best use of all the fancy CNC machines, fancy vises, etc. I'd love to see some of those older style projects re-done with the fancy new stuff.
Kurtis' channel has grown very quickly. He has almost as many subscribers as Adam, but has only been going 2.5yrs. I think Kurtis with Karen's editing skills have found the sweet spot. I like Adam but his recent content feels a bit drawn out and hope he can get back to how he made content 2-3 yrs ago.
Keith has a computerized plasma cutter and now has a Wazer and a highly sophisticated scanner. Adam is young and dabbling in technology and expanding his horizons. Nothing wrong with that in my opinion.
You're slowly becoming Titan of CNC, Florida edition.
Kind of like watching the winner of a NASCAR race
That engraving turned out great!
Prior to this video I watched Cutting Edge Engineering Australia where Curtis made 13 of those setting pads, he got on with the job, not fart around like you have
If you don't like it! Don't watch it!
Prior to this video I watched a video of the biggest losers on the internet who have no life and feel the need to spread negativity. Graham Bitch was the #1 loser
Cutting Edge Engineering is about showing a real machinist doing real work on equipment that shows it's been used for real work. When he gets in a 'new' machine it's not showroom new, it's something that's stood the test of time that he knows will take the stress of the sort of work he does. He makes parts and does repairs on heavy mining equipment that companies need to have working to make a profit. Adam used to do the same thing with the parts he'd make. You notice when he has to do any serious machining, it's on his old well used equipment. I doubt any of the new equipment has even seen coolant in the sumps. He's running out of room though. I mean where will the sponsored waterjet cutting machine go?
Like watching qvc now this channel
Except QVC sells things I can afford and actually use...
Abom's channel is not on machining anymore. It is an excellent (maybe the best) channel to demonstrate how to build a youtube business and have a full useless workshop offered by sponsors, sitting there for not producing anything.
But be carefull too much free stuff from too many companies and each of them will appear less and less on the channel...Watch out. Verry expensive cnc machines sleeping in the background for months...not good for marketing purposes. Minutes for unwrapping à box brings the unboxing business to another level.
I liked the old Saturday Night Specials better.
A valid point about exposure. The Big Ass fan hasn't made a notable appearance for a while.
Well to be fair, his original shop wasn't a production environment either.
@@DCogs1 But it didn't cost hundreds of thousands of dollars, either. And all this effort, for basically flat video views that could've been done in the home shop without spending all this time and money on new equipment.
@@mongoose388 for sure !
Hi Adam, drill the vent hole in that pump lid large enough to fit the fill tube in with a rubber grommet and you won't have to worry about drips from ththe tube or dirt getting into the oil...
Thank you for sharing the beautiful day!
I love this shop!
Great video 👍
I enjoy seeing all the new machinery and tooling coming into your shop 👍
I just don't understand why others can't stand it when someone else's years of hard work and dedication start to pay off.
Do not stop making your content because of them. Your workload is going to skyrocket and videoing is going to get even harder than it already is.
Keep up the great work 👍
There are far more of us viewers that learn and enjoy your work than the ones that don't.
I primarily watch to see all these tools and learn what their purpose is, so new tools are really cool to watch. After years of watching I can say some of the magic has worn off of watching someone manually align, face, turn diameter, and part off a piece in a lathe. It sounds like the other people just want to watch him do that forever not realizing his old videos are there to rewatch all they want.
Plus lately it seems like he's getting back to using the tools like making these feet.
@@bac1308 Yeah! He has building the shop and people complain as if they are the primary reason he does these things.
@@bac1308 it is funny there are a million channels out there of "making chips" and massive chunks of metal on laths, but they are boring as hell because it is some junk shop in china or somewhere similar with no talking, no explanation of anything, and no personality and nothing but just large metal getting smaller....here we have a guy with a lot of skills from older methods, but he wants to translate them to newer things and take us along for the ride....but some just want to cry and complain the whole way when there are so many other places doing the same thing over again with no personality and nothing to really teach or learn from
@@andrewterry8092 maybe the point is Adam is enjoying his life and his shop and equipment on his terms now while he can and he is not interested nor does he need to be captive to or concerned with holding on to a handful of flightly youtube subscribers/........ and he has enough confidence in himself and his skills and abilities to know that he will be just fine no matter what happens with a few people that are upset that he has a nice shop full of new equipment that he does not utilize in a way that makes THEM happy
@@rodrod383 Hey, forget about my opinion, just look at the views over the past year. CEE is proof of how many views good content can generate, and the last year here with Abom79 views have not done well compared to history, and certainly not compared to the time and money invested in the new direction.
You are just like any other boy out there the bigger you are the higher the price of your toys
Not to be a downer, but, your shop has gone from something I could relate too, to a fantasy of, if I won the lottery.
How about sharing the direction you’re heading to sustain it all. Maybe a format along the lines of CEE?
Did he gain weight? I thought he had some kind of weight loss surgery a while back, but he looks even bigger than I remember.
Dunno but it'd make sense, if there's no change in lifestyle then you'd eventually end up big again 🤷. Don't know about Adam though.
Filming from the wrong angle maybe?
Ol boy got BIG!
High psi on the floor in the office will leave indentations in the floor tiles that will have to be fixed in the future. I might do a little math and not shoot from the hip. The load was high before but those recesses in the bottom of the pads just sent the pressure through the stratosphere.
Yes not sure why adam did this. 3350/4 = 837 lbs per leg, flat bottomed. With 4“ bar, removing the inner surface except for a 1/2“ wide ring on the outside. My rough calculations increase the pressure, changes from 66 psi to 150 psi per leg. If my math is good.
Very nice. Your going to next levels on precision with with the granite. We had 14 foot granite surface and a smaller one at work. We could sign up to use the smaller one. I never measured it but three of four people could easily work on it at the same time with extra room to spare. It make everything easier.
We are ready to watch your new shop going into revenue brining phase. Good.job Adam.

It's all motorsports based predominantly in F1...so it's really a high pressure environment by nature at this time of year (winter build) it can be hectic...But I enjoy the work, and the challenge, but more importantly I really like my employers. Plus in the summer months I will have a much easier time.
Exactly 35 seconds after the garbage is picked up you will need that packing to ship something. Never fails.
I really like that Hydmech saw
I’ll back in a minute. I feel like I need to buy some cnc products and a haimer system.
What would grandpop have to say about all these fancy machines?
Probably glad his grandson is doing so well and keeping machining in the family.
Nice job abom!!! Love the new shop keep it up bro
Thanks Adam. Great video. Nice to see you using the new machines.
G'day Adam Definitely a Terific set of CNC machines with combination tool set. All looks a Million$$. Great video, looking forward to setup of the Table & levelling Granite etc
Something like the last puck would be a good paper weight to sell or give to someone.
I agree
A black epoxy in the logo would be sharp!
This is gotta be so exciting for you too learn all this new stuff you learned from your dad the ways of old but this is what makes you who you are today I remember when my dad had to learn CNC in the early 90 and Went to school he was a machinist for GM he was a old school machinist like your dad he was a perfectionist even when he was working on stuff like wood or taking down a tree it didn't matter that's was the way he did things love this GODSPEED
I'm not kidding, all this time I was thinking that the heat shrinking chucks were doing some kind of vacuum plastic -- this makes so much more sense now.
Adam‘s demonstration of the Haimer equipment was fantastic. Very helpful for anyone wanting to start in CNC, me!
So macht die Arbeit Spass!
Grüße aus Deutschland!
Are you familiar with the TH-camr Stefan Gotteswinter? I really enjoy his channel. Grüße aus Massachusetts, USA!
@@stuartschaffner9744 No, but I like his videos.
I myself work in my workshop on small CNC machines, lathes and normal milling machines while sitting in a wheelchair.
I had polio when I was a child.
Thanks for your comment!
@@Ademann , that's an inspiring story. My mother had polio when I was 5 and was partially crippled the rest of her life.
Are you engaged full time in outside professional work? If, like Stefan, you do some machining just for yourself or for friends, perhaps you could cooperate on a project with Adam.
@@stuartschaffner9744 I work professionally 50-60 hours a week. The main occupation is repairing bicycles and wheelchairs. The second direction is the sale, maintenance, and modification of "Freedom Trax" (American company). My favorite work is developing and producing prototypes of my project: "Wheelchair dancers", where I use all my machines. Cooperation with Adam will be an honor for me! He's a super good professional. I don't know if I'm at his level. He's too good.
Once upon a time, I was troubleshooting an air compressor that was overheating. It had a3/4” cooling water line that ran to it. I wanted to verify that we were getting cooling water flow, so I grabbed the line with my bare hand. Turned out the solenoid valve that turned flow on had failed, so we were not getting any cooling water flow. Needless to say, this taught me not to check the temperature of things with my hand!
Looked at this after I posted it, and realized it might need a bit more detail. I first grabbed the cooling water line on the supply side of the valve. Our cooling water was in the ranfe of 60F, so it felt nice and cool. The I grabbed on the discharge side of the valve. Since we were getting no glow, the water on that side was quite hot.
That is a beautiful shop.
