- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 5 พ.ย. 2021
- I'll machine the two flange plates that I have designed as part of the crane for this next episode. We'll use the saw to cut a thin drop of 4140 into three pieces and machine two of them to finish. While performing the drilling ops, I'll talk about my thoughts on why I like to share these builds in long run videos which normally makes up several videos or episodes.

Has got to be the most precision machined trailer hoist in history.
That is an Abom hoist buddy lol
Mike that's no lie.
Wouldn’t expect anything else!!
😂 Well if you have alle those equipment then why not
Anything worth doing is worth doing right
Keep the long format going! The more you show, the more we learn!
As it turns out, the average cost to learn this stuff to the level that it is taught on this channel is upwards to 50k and it's free right here on the A-Bom TH-cam channel. You make them long videos, my dude.
You won't ever learn the trade to this level unless you are 3rd generation and then spent 20 years in a major machine shop. I'm sure that Abomb was standing next to his dad and grandpa since he could walk. Spend 50+ thousand at a vocational school and you won't know half what he does. Never stand still, always keep evolving.
You are correct I'm a machinist in the trade now about 15 years and I can honestly remember my schooling and it was not nearly this well explained, you would make a great teacher in a vocational school.
50K? I’d like to know where that figure came from. My tuition for tech school is about 9K after calculating everything out.
@@trainman5371 well. Heck, I got paid for my schooling but the fact of the matter is, 90% of what you learn is from experience rather than school and most places have retired or out of work journeymen at best. This guy got his 10,000hrs about 100,000hrs ago. I did say "at the level he is teaching" my 3 month school (we are talking 8hrs of class and practical excercises per day, 5days per week) skips a hell of a lot that he covers in fine detail. This guy ain't half bad. (Also there's a lot of expensive schools out there that are "more sought after")
@@andrewspohrer7183 I do agree that most of the things that you learn in this trade are from experience. Not sure if it’s different at other trade schools, but in mine all the instructors are ex tradesmen. I.E. they were in the industry for several years before coming teachers. I personally went to school because a lot of the tool maker jobs in my area require you to go to school before they would hire you on as an apprentice.
I like the longer more in depth videos. It’s like watching a regular show and learning. People don’t have attention spans anymore ya can’t help that. Bless their hearts.
The long format videos are kinda like hanging out with a friend. Also, everyone who works in the trades knows that whatever your trade is, it will always trickle over into unnecessary but worthy amounts of work into at home projects. It's a matter of pride in your trade.
Damn. Well put, and so true.
I vote for long videos. Short videos don't tell me much and quickly leave me bored looking for something else to watch. Keep it up you are doing great!
Personally, I’m glued to every moment, of every step, of every operation. I KNOW how much I don’t know; & I’m grateful for your wisdom. You’re a true Craftsman. 👍🏻👍🏻
My wife is a professional artist, and couldn't give a rat's a$$ about machining, but she watches your videos with me because she appreciates your artistry in metal, and believes that you have the hands of a surgeon. Keep it up, Adam. We all love your videos.
Wow Adam, you don’t have to defend your vids against the trolls. You be you! I love watching your videos - no matter how long. In fact, I like the longer videos - these are my Saturday night viewing.
I appreciate that you want to share your skills and knowledge! I worked in a machine shop when I was 19 and miss the smells and sounds of grinding, cutting and manufacturing.
i love your videos , short or long as long as they show the critical details
Adam, Don't change a thing. I enjoy every minute of your teaching.
Adam your long form videos are the bom. I love that you take the time to show and explain what you are doing in great detail. I started hobby machining when I retired 3 years ago with no prior experience. It is through watching your videos (and other machinist) that I have advanced to the point that I can actually make some projects around the garage. Thanks for all you do to advance the community here and on IG.
I love the long format videos, I’ve learned so much because of that specific technique, just repetitive processes. I did successful internal lathe threading, all training from your videos. Keep it up!
Love the long-run videos.
Two things never cease to amaze me: 1) The amount of knowledge that can be gained on TH-cam watching creators like ABom mess around in the shop. 2) That some people will 'discover' an established, successful content creator and decide that the creator is doing it wrong and needs to change in some way to meet their expectations.
I consider myself a maker, but I will never have a metal shop - I love watching these videos.
I am for long format videos.
Thanks for sharing content. 👍
Adam, your videos are some of the finest content on TH-cam. I have been watching your work for years and can say what you do is second to none. I've watched plenty of machining videos that are abbreviated and they just don't have the same impact. You've certainly earned my respect with the attention to detail and professionalism you show in everything you do. At this point, I'd probably watch and study a video of you eating a bowl of cereal . :) Seriously though, a long format video is great. You've been a great teacher over the years.
Awesome vid!! Love watching these longer vids.
Please keep going with the projects in the long format. Anybody can pause a video, fast forward or go to tik tok if they have attention span issues. I have learned and applied many things I have seen you do. I really look forward to your detailed video and explanations.
The "long" content you provide to us is just right. It shows the way you accomplish the various projects you do. All of them are informative, and an excellent learning experience. Don't change a thing about the content you create ! Thank you Adam.
Keep doing what you want.
'why invest so much time into a project' - this question is probably why things don't last like they used to. We need more people like you in the world, people prepared to invest time into things.
Long time viewer here, please don't make your videos shorter, I enjoy every second of them. For those who want it faster can use the playback speed function of youtube.
I like the longer format - you cover enough of the details that I usually learn something from each of your videos. There are plenty of other channels that just do short-form snippets of machines making holes in metal with chips flying everywhere for people who just want to zone out and watch machines at work. I guess that's the essence of the difference: those videos are about watching the *machines* work, your videos are about watching *you* work.
I love the longer videos. i like seeing stuff get done . I really dont like short videos that only show 5 min. worth of work . Great video Adam
Brother, you have more than half a million subscribers. You keep doing exactly what you're doing.
Never too long, there is no such thing from the truly great TH-camrs of whom I count you among them.
Adam, don't change a thing. Your videos are like a class in machining. Love 'em.
The best thing about this channel is the long format videos!
Adam, I appreciate the time you spend explaining the project and the process. I am not a machinist and have no access to machine tools but I enjoy watching those that I refer to as metal magicians ply their trade. Thank you
Adam, there is nothing wrong with the length of your videos. Very informative.👍
As a hobbyist machinist - the longer run videos are what I'm here for and I value your channel for exactly what you describe - detail and wisdom. Thank you
The explanation part is one of the best parts about the channel! There is SO MUCH MORE to machining than making chips, the setup stuff is just as important and often takes thinking outside the box to get the job done. Don't change a thing Adam! lol
There is “Generational Knowledge” in what you do here that even Mr. Haas would learn from … it is such a generous nature you display in sharing this in images and words … that goes above and beyond … thank you for doing so!
The long-form videos that you make have taught me SO much! Put me squarely in the "OMG, don't ever change!" camp. :)
Love the long video's, even though I do no machining at all. Just like the video's, and the smooth voice of Adam is really relaxing for me. I even learn some basic stuff, I'll probably never use :)
Keep doing long video's. I've learned all my machining skills just from watching your great video's with extended explanations 😊
Keep up the long format! I've learned so much from you over the past few years!! Thanks!
Frankly Adam, what you've taught me most from just your general working practices, is discipline. Always checking your parallels are snug; always checking your four-jaw or spacers are free of chips; always tidying up and keeping stuff tidy; and just today, putting your tools back in the register so as not to confuse them. I understand that these are just things you do so as to make life easier and get the most accurate part possible/not mess up, but dang son... You truly are artful and I learn every time I watch. Thank you for all the great content. P.s. Don't change a thing :D
I really enjoy the pace of the longer videos. it's 'slow TV'... I'm a woodworker and I appreciate good craftsmanship
Love your videos Adam! Make them run as long as you can. I could watch one of them if they even lasted all day! Lol Hank Schaffner Flaherty KY
Adam never change the format of your videos I really enjoy how you explain thing and I personally like an hour long video with more in depth content
Emergency doc here. It's soooooooo refreshing to see proper respect paid to PPE. Full face protection, safety guards on, proper work holding ... I'm so sick of fishing bits of zip disc out of legs or grinding fragments out of eyes or treating idiots that have drilled into their own hands. Full marks, Adam.
I appreciate the long videos; they provide detail in depth to the point that even I, a definite non-machinist, can follow along and understand what's going on -- even in enough detail that when a friend has a problem that was covered in your videos I can help (need a retaining clip wrench to remove a circlip by spreading the two holes, e.g.). Sometimes I watch in double speed, and when it's abundantly clear you're doing indication with no discussion I skip over that; both of those are options viewers can use without you having to change a thing. Please keep doing what you're doing and I'll keep enjoying watching you do it and learning what I can.
I agree with you: I love the lenght of your videos. It's the only way to see how precise and clean you are, and also to know the small details and tools, specially gauges, calipers, micrometers, and so on. Thanks for all of them. As an industrial engineer, I love your work. Keep on doing it, Adam!.
I can watch a one hour video of Adam watching paint dry, and I'd enjoy that video!
Awesome project Adam, love your work!
Hi Adam, I wouldn't worry about the people grumbling about the length of the videos. They should be more concerned about lack of knowledge of TH-cam. After all, just tap the screen and the video will fast forward. It is your complete explanation that makes it so instructive and interesting. Please keep up the long videos. Greetings from the Netherlands.
Adam you explaining everything and making long videos is why we all love this channel if the other people don’t like the long format they can fast forward through the videos
Love you back in the shop you are the reason why we I picked up machining as a hobby it is the precision and detailed work that keeps me so interested in these videos
You’re got the subscribers because we like your videos so just do what you do and on the end of the day it’s your channel. Love the long format 👍
Please keep your video's in this format!! It is great to have a 30+ mins relaxing video full of amazing information to watch. If people want shorter videos with no real content, they can just find one w. rock music blasting every 20 seconds during their transitions, and the content creator spending half the video explaining what they are going to do in the other half of the video. Your videos are great, please keep it up!
Thanks Adam!!! As you promised earlier this week!!! Greetings out of Belgium, land of beer!
Adam, keep doing what you are doing. I learn something from every video.
I really like the long format videos. Honestly, they are very calming considering what else is in the youtube space.
I truly enjoy your long format videos! I have learned a lot from your videos and I appreciate the knowledge and techniques you’ve shared through the years. Many thanks!
...keep doing the videos your way!
I love your long run videos, i usually watch your videos on sunday morning for education.
If i want to see Hands-only Videos i watch This Old Tony ;-)
The long term videos work great. Keep it up!
Adam, Please don't change a thing! I appreciate the quality of your instruction and I love seeing projects get completed. Thank you for taking the time and presenting these longer running, well instructed videos. I hate the condensed, music sickened videos found elsewhere. Love the content! Thank you for the effort!
A good machinist is patient, analytical, and thorough - so I love your long video format. Please never change it!
Adam don't change your vvideos just because of afew stick in the muds. If they don.t like your style let them go elsewhere.
I personally like to watch and learn, keep up the good work.
Adam, the reasons i watch your videos are all those you listed. I was an apprentice 30 years ago and still learn tips from you. Please keep all the setups, settings, reasons, etc. coming in nice long videos
Damn right!
Hi Adam.
First, sorry for my bad English, it's not my native language.
I'm not a regular commenter on your videos, but I've been watching your videos for some time now, (since the video of you getting the slab in front of the shop, maybe 4 years ago) and I really enjoy watching your videos.
I love the parts of you explaining the thoght process and why you chose this or that tool/machine. The lessons I take from you making something that can be bought is the best part. Nevermind the (other) keyboard-warriors telling you to change something. Speaking just for myself when saying your style of presenting machining makes me miss my old job really bad. I used to repair cars for a living, untill everything changed and we suddenly became part-swappers. Always loved to fix and make stuff work.
Just keep on making YOUR style of machining videos, and include the "boring" (I got the pun) parts of the project. It's really nice and calming when there's no manager/foreman/shop-coach yelling "You need to hurry up" or "we need to finish this right NOW".
I'll say it again, keep your projects and videos the way you like them. I think most of your (regular) viewers like this style of videos, it's what made me enjoy your videos in the first place.
Ditto! To Odins point.
I’m not a seasoned machinist and the explanation of every step is very helpful.
Don't ever change your format.
I learn so much from you.
Your videos are the perfect length. I learn so much.
The details and explanations are the real value IMHO; That's where the learning and inspiration comes from! For all the metalworking/machining channels out there, only some of them actually take the time to explain what they're doing and why.
Plus, if you enjoy doing it, then that's what you should do. It's worked out for you so far, right?
Thank you for continuing to make the kind of videos that got you to where you are!
Started watching your videos about a year or so after you started your channel, I was trying to get some busted exhaust bolts out of my 74 ford F100, you taught me what I needed to do to get the job dun. I went back and have watch every one of your videos, now I have a 10"x22" lathe and have been able to fabricobble so many things, I am currently building a rock crusher and thanks to your teaching I can do things that I never thought I could do. Thank You Adam!
Adam, I love your videos and have learned a ton from all of the detail you so generously share with everyone. I’m certainly grateful and appreciate you and what you do. Keep the long videos coming!
Hey Adam, I have been subscribed for years to your channel I don’t comment much if ever, I want you to keep going like you are, I understand the need for new subs however the new subs should not dictate on what your content is or is not. My opinion is that is what is wrong with our country. You have helped me greatly through the years I decided this year to enroll in a Machinest course at my local votech. Yes at 48 I am a school kid again 😁. Between you and the two Keith’s, Mr Pete and even Tony I look like a rock star in my class, many thanks for all the help and general advice.
fuck yeah. I vote classic Abom long form. never change your style brother.
Adam don't you change a damn thing 😉👍there's a fast forward button for those who want to get to the end😂 I love the precision and attention to detail that the younger viewers should heed, they teach them in classrooms but in the workshop is where it's at and watching you is an absolute pleasure, keep up the beautiful work Ad' we love ya
Always the best and never too long.
I have learned a lot through the years about machining by watching your videos. Thanks
I'm really enjoying this series of video's, reminds me of some from years ago, thank you
I'm a hobbyist and I've been a subscriber for a couple of years. I've learnt a lot about machining by watching and listening to your explanations. I'm enjoying the projects you've been doing and I like the detailed approach which demystify the more complicated aspects. Cheers.
Adam there is little question that the format that you've established is appreciated by the number of views and subscriptions you've attracted. Personally I feel the detail of you content is it's strength so don't listen to the naysayers. Your skills and this industry were built on attention to detail and quality of the product, both of which you exemplify.
I love your videos exactly the way they are and have for years. Don't change a thing, especially for interlopers.
Adam I made and earlier comment about you wiping the jaws before putting the part in for chamfering. Showing this sort of thing is the best part about your videos. There must be a thousand "machining" channels on TH-cam. I have seen several dozen. Yours is far and away the best precisely because you show the entire cut, including your set up. In this video you comment on your style of video making and we watch the COMPLETE sequence of your bit changes. This is so so important ! This makes you unique. Think about it. This is what the apprentice in the shop sees standing next to their master as they learn the craft. No other channel shows this. DO NOT CHANGE A THING! (Yes, Edge Precision does, but he is a CNC machinist. His is also the only other machining channel I watch.)
I enjoy the format. Keep it up
I really like the longer vids, wife thinks they are boring. I have to correct here, "no dear, this is milling, this is drilling, yes, this right here, that's boring" :D
I like the long format and all the detail. People that get bored can always skip ahead.
1 check for long informative videos Keep them coming. Thanks Adam
I like that you don’t assume that I know things that I don’t. I appreciate you taking your time to explain things. There is so much I need to learn. Thanks again!
I love the amount of detail and explanation you put into your videos and I think I can speak for most people when I say thank you for taking the time to produce them.
Your videos are long(er) and I watch them for THAT detail which you were talking about. If others dont like it - they can turn the speed up to 1.5 or 2 and go faster. I do that sometimes when I dont have time. You do fine the way you are.
Adam, I'm not a machinist at all, but I completely enjoy your longer, detailed videos. So satisfying to watch an experienced professional explaining the how and why of his profession. Thanks
My feeling on that topic is that you happen to be a natural teacher. From your videos years ago, I picked up what you're doing easily, though I'd never watched most such things before, and your commentary on it reminded me of many of the most enjoyable teachers I had in school -- leading me to want to know more.
I like the longer vids and the great detail. I learn so much from all of you machinist that do the really detailed videos. It's more to it than just mechanical detail, there's work order. Learning how to get things done. I watch movies for entertainment. Thanks for all the great projects.
Totally agree. Adam's videos cover everything. He doesn't need to tell you to wear PPE, he just does! And you just follow a good practice. It's natural in him.
Thanks for the video Adam :) One of the reason that got me stuck to your channel is accualy the video length, I just love how you explain the things you do. Keep them comming :)
Don't change Adam. Your video format is great and is why I am still subscribed today. Thank you.
I love the longer videos, and i didn't find the drilling boring at all.There's something satisfying about watching a task progress when its been done with skill.
I like the longer style videos!
Long form, exactly. I don't have much preference for the type of projects you do. What I prefer is the detail of how you do them.
I enjoy watching your videos. The length is appropriate for your topics.
I have never been a machinist. Torch is my Mill. Keep up the good videos.
I love the long videos Adam. Appreciate everything you do! Thanks for sharing with us.
Keep your format as is. Very informative thank you. Hj from the Netherlands
My father was a tool and die maker in the aerospace industry for many years. I know if he were still with us today that he would love your channel. I went the electronics industry direction so I never really learned that much about machinists work. I love your channel as it is almost a master class and I have learned a lot. Thank you for your hard work making these videos. Stay safe.
Adam, keep doing what you do. Would not miss one of your videos on either of your channels. Been a machinist for over 50 years and still love to watch the way you work.
One of the most important things I’ve learned from Adam is to be thoughtful, methodical, calm, and patient in your processes when making your parts. I don’t think I would have gotten that message out of “quickie” videos. If I don’t have time to watch an hour long video, I just watch half now and finish it later. I’ve subscribed to a lot of TH-cam channels that I’ve lost interest in, but I’ve been watching Abom79 for years, and I eagerly look forward to his videos. Thanks, Adam!
