Why not switch to metric/smaller units when you start having to use "1/20000 inch" as the measurement? 1.27 micrometers (as example) is far easier to understand
As you and Adam were saying, it's almost a shame you won't be able to see that work of art. But thinking about it, those clean, smooth surfaces will be improving the performance. So in a way, you'll be able to "feel" the beauty of Adam's work every time you use the power hammer.
I love that we get a look at a lot more than tossing iron into a firey furnace and then beating it with a hammer until it submits to your will. This level of detail as we look at classic machinery is a rare gift.
Nice! Everyone has been waiting for the cherry to be popped on the Pacemaker. The bearing came out perfect and it will be great to see your hammer back in service.
As a trained machinist, this was a treat. As a new blacksmith at 52 years old, I'll be beating hot steel until I die at the forge. Now I just need a lot of bronze to make a Gladius.
I have never done any machining work but I have watched so much Abom79 that I could probably work at a machine shop for a week before someone figured out I was never formally trained.
Factor meals are actually DELICIOUS. I don't usually comment about sponsors, but I used them when I was single, low carb, finishing university, and working full-time as an intern, and it was a life saver. Customer support was incredibly easy when needed, which was rare. They never skipped a beat during the pandemic. It was a great match for that time of my life, so check it out if it sounds like it could be for you too.
One of these days, I'll have to do a show of my uncle's salt shaker. 3 pieces, temperature fitted bottom. beautiful piece. one of the most sentimental pieces i own. I was there when he fitted the base into the shaker, using the heat/shrink thing.
That was totally rad AF! Very cool to see TH-camrs working together. Abom79 is amazing! God bless you and I can't wait for more "content" from your channel. 😀
That is pretty cool. Glad to see you got to do a vid with Adam. Even happier that the fit was dang near perfect considering you couldn't take the bore measurements with you. Can you scooch it over just a smidge by pressing it back the other way?
Ohh Paul - once the two interference fit 3d surfaces are shrunk fitted with the vast temperature differential they can seldom be chilled/heated to a different location, or even removed one from the other depending on the fitment number ranges chosen. So in short no, and not as easy to re-position once the temps start to interface mechanically. MikeC
Before you file it, try making a wooden plug with a large head, then heat up the top of the casting and try hitting it into place using the plug to protect the bronze. Worth a try at least.
Nope, it has a death grip on it's home now. If you try to force it to move now, the bearing would be damaged. How much I'll leave to the millwrights in the crew, they are the best educated to respond. Best wishes from the far North.
Depends. Old bearing was drenched in oil and took both heating and cooling plus massive amount of force to move due large surface area or bearing walls. If you go try to move it now, heat and cooling would be needed and even then bronze might change its shape due relatively small end surface area messing up everything and requiring to be reamed back in size. Depending on how much the difference is, its best to take millimeter or two off from casting rather than try to mess with the bearing. If its 5mm... well i would consider trying to redo it, but Will said its 0.762 mm under, so less than millimeter being taken out would not negatively effect the hammer, specially if the casting is bit uneven. In wills case its pretty straight, but smoothening that is not much of a issue and this should not effect rest of the hammers function at all.
Love the video with Adam, @abom79. I ve follow Adam since years. Great to see he was able to help. Superb machinist and perfectionist. Very high level of care and perfect execution.
I've watched Adam for many years, he knows his stuff. It's good to see him pass on his knowledge to you and others. By the way, that bearing looks so much bigger in your vid.
"It's not boring, it's actually quite interesting!" Yeah yeah, this is a pun every machinist with a lathe NEVEREVER had heard in his life before... 😂😁😇🤟
You had the best guy to make this part, for Adam this is just another day, for you an experience with a master machinist as to how stuff is done. Have yourself a great day
What's crazy is when I saw the video of will explaining the problem with the power hammer, I had just watched Adam do a similar repair on a video earlier the same day (it takes me a while to cycle through my subs,)
What if you put a thin steel plate a few thousand thicker than the bronze sticking out. it would be almost like a where or strike plate. don't know if that would affect the operation or anything like that though.
What a great sight to see. An (almost) old dog (Adam) and a young buck ( Will ) collaborating together. You're in the presence of machinist legend kid! I wish one of my grandsons had the direction, skill and appreciation for fine old machines like you two. BTW, when Adam was parting off the bearing I was thinking the worst at the end of that broom handle. I wonder if a plywood sheet under it, like we do for chuck removal would have saved it from the unfortunate ding? Wakodahatchee Chris
Driving from Montana to Florida to make a bronze bearing. I’d do that. My 10x36 lathe is circa 1960. Like watching that monster machine work at such close tolerances.
Interference fits that are put together with liquid nitrogen and heat always stress me out because I know the parts can get stuck before they're fully assembled. 😬 Super glad it all went smoothly!!!
Yup. I think just about any man wood jump at the opportunity to keep a Boudry power hammer in service. I love how craftsmen tend to view themselves as custodians of old tools and want to keep them around for future generations. “I’m just keeping this in good working order for the next guy.” Really cool that You can go to other TH-camrs for the stuff you can’t handle in house. Hopefully Adam will have need of a blacksmith to preserve some other tools.
Awesome video! Abom's great, and Will's the best, so this was a great collab. In terms of matching that radius, could you put some abrasive on the radius of the shaft, and use that to create a match on the bearing?
Super interesting work here :) Always cool to see "big" stuff being processed. I think the algorithm suggested you based off of my 7-8 years subscription to @Abom79 's channel. Adam really inspires a lot of people, including myself, with his old school approach to the job. He's a really great and genuine cool guy:)
That thing spins pieces that way hundreds of pounds, effortlessly... Crazy. Also, with that kid and of energy, if anything goes wrong, it reaaaaally goes wrong. But man is it amazing to watch it operate

Abom is cool : D Serious man! : D
Two of my very favorite people, Will Stelter and Adam Booth. Excellent!
You just know when Adam Booth gets involved, its going to be a 4 hour video incoming on his channel!
dude, your read my mind. I thought if he was doing this for himself it would at least four parts and the job could have been shown in one.
Stoked to watch it!
and what could of been a 5 minute vid :) Aboms awesome like that
Adam could do a one hour video breakdown of a drywall screw. But I’ve been a sub- ever since Scott @ Essential Craftsman highlighted Abomb79. Cheers.
He da bomb.
Are you kidding?? A collab between Will and Adam??? I'm in!

12:07 busted 😂. After all that Abom precision work... will drill it off centered hehehe
That's so cool that you worked with Adam on this project! I've been watching him for many years.
8:04 "....aaannnnnd.... Yathzee!" (Am I the only one who was expecting to hear this?) 😆
I have watched this dude for a couple years. Super Awesome work. Very talented
Nice! Everyone has been waiting for the cherry to be popped on the Pacemaker. The bearing came out perfect and it will be great to see your hammer back in service.
I'm glad you got it all the way in before it started to expand.
As a trained machinist, this was a treat. As a new blacksmith at 52 years old, I'll be beating hot steel until I die at the forge. Now I just need a lot of bronze to make a Gladius.
I have never done any machining work but I have watched so much Abom79 that I could probably work at a machine shop for a week before someone figured out I was never formally trained.
you can file the brass flush and then use a woodworking router to re-cut the radius on the brass
At 4:30 i can hear Curtis from CEE yelling "That's not a boring bar.....that's a boring bar" 😀
Are you going to be doing any collaboration videos with your friend in Sheridan? Sheridan is another beautiful town in the Midwest.
Hard to find a Machinist with more experience than Adam. What a great collaboration between two of my favorite creators!
Just depends where and how long you look...
@@carlbukowsky1931 true that.
I love Adam's new shop content. Haven't missed a single episode
You could use a woodrouter with a roundover bit to cut it flush
That surface finish alone speaks volumes... DAMN

Can believe you survived the drive through St. Louis. That stretch of Highway 70 is one of the most dangerous in the country.
You guys did it, got it done. Nobody does everything perfect. Get it!!!!
Amazing to see young people keeping this alive.
This is Awesome!! Some Abom!! Would love to see Abom come to your shop and make a tool or something for his shop.
One of these days, I'll have to do a show of my uncle's salt shaker. 3 pieces, temperature fitted bottom. beautiful piece. one of the most sentimental pieces i own.
I was there when he fitted the base into the shaker, using the heat/shrink thing.
Will’s got the flock of seagulls’ look going on
Did you try Keith Rucker? He is in Tifton Georgia and has an extensive shop. Incredibly nice guy as is Adam. Great job you are doing.
That was totally rad AF! Very cool to see TH-camrs working together. Abom79 is amazing!
God bless you and I can't wait for more "content" from your channel. 😀
Sweet collaboration!
Awesome to see ABOM! 🥳
Wow! The size of that lathe is just mind-boggling! Very interesting to watch.
The scale of that lathe!!! Insane 🤯
I LOVE seeing voolabs from channels I've been watching for years. Abom should do you right!
That bronze singing made me very happy 😊
That lathe is beautiful , what an amazing machine. 👍
I love turning brass / bronze!
Ooohhyaaa. Super cool. 😎
I love the rifle on the tripod in the background during the Factor ad! Welcome to Montana!!
Heck of a road trip hope you had fun with the drive
been waiting for this
That is pretty cool. Glad to see you got to do a vid with Adam.

@@Hellsong89 Line boring jobs are not cheap.
Everybody loves Adam.
0:48 i just realized that clip is in my hometown!!
I got here from there , Great to see a collab with Adam, he's a great machinist ,
You and Adam get along so well it’s nice to see personalities that mesh like that.
Great see to see collaboration with Adam. I follow him and you and absoltutely enjoy the talents that you both share on TH-cam. Thanks and take care.
Love the video with Adam, @abom79. I ve follow Adam since years. Great to see he was able to help. Superb machinist and perfectionist. Very high level of care and perfect execution.
Ooooooooo damn Abom and Will yesssssssssss abom doing what he does you can't beat his craftsmanship
I've watched Adam for many years, he knows his stuff. It's good to see him pass on his knowledge to you and others. By the way, that bearing looks so much bigger in your vid.
Measurementing. Gonna steal that.
Recognized Adam from thumbnail and said stop what you are doing and watch this now!!! Two great TH-camrs!!!
It’s great seeing you two working together
This is the collaboration the internet needed
That "Ace Ventura" hair really suits you
Are we sure the hair wasn't Wolverine?
I remember when it was the coolest thing you could was rocking the ace Ventura hair style.
4:31
"We call this boring bar THE HOME WRECKER"
Looking forward to the "Extended cut" on Abom's channel. :)
Machining has to be the best ASMR material... I can watch lathes for hours. Adam's videos are always awesome.
You could get paid to watch lathes for hours.
Will, that was an epic trip. Adam is indeed a top tier machinist. Good two see to masters of their craft having a good day.
So glad you guys got together on this. Can't wait to go see Adams video now.
Super cool episode and shoutout to Abom as well!
"It's not boring, it's actually quite interesting!"
Yeah yeah, this is a pun every machinist with a lathe NEVEREVER had heard in his life before... 😂😁😇🤟
That lathe is a monster! Cool video.
You had the best guy to make this part, for Adam this is just another day, for you an experience with a master machinist as to how stuff is done. Have yourself a great day
Damn what an honor! I’ve been wanting to see that thing in action!
That bronze looks awesome against the black paint. Everything should have more bronze on it
Ooh, Abom, spray welding? Dang, still cool to see how well that massive lathe can handle such a big part.
15:20 "MEASUREMENTING" -- New technical term 😂
What's crazy is when I saw the video of will explaining the problem with the power hammer, I had just watched Adam do a similar repair on a video earlier the same day (it takes me a while to cycle through my subs,)
Abom79 and Will? Abom79 is a living legend! Thanks Will. Where there is a will...
What if you put a thin steel plate a few thousand thicker than the bronze sticking out. it would be almost like a where or strike plate. don't know if that would affect the operation or anything like that though.
Fantastic. Nice to see you and Adam working together.
Mad respect for people with the kind of skill that becomes art.
Oh man this makes me so happy
Absolutely love this collaboration with @abom79. I would love to see his video on this project!!!!!!
What a great sight to see. An (almost) old dog (Adam) and a young buck ( Will ) collaborating together. You're in the presence of machinist legend kid!

It was cool seeing you and Adam working together, looked like ya'll had a great time
Love the new Caesar laurels hair stylin’. Great video!
"Measurementing." Hah! What a hoot, Will.
Driving from Montana to Florida to make a bronze bearing. I’d do that. My 10x36 lathe is circa 1960. Like watching that monster machine work at such close tolerances.
How can you be so young and tackle a job this monumental! Incredible.
I subscribe to both of you and cant think of a better machinist. Awesome.
Thank you for bringing us along on your trip!
Interference fits that are put together with liquid nitrogen and heat always stress me out because I know the parts can get stuck before they're fully assembled. 😬 Super glad it all went smoothly!!!
Nice to see Abom on.
Hopefully in a hundred years when someone goes to service that power hammer again and pulls it apart, they see the beautiful work done.
Yup. I think just about any man wood jump at the opportunity to keep a Boudry power hammer in service. I love how craftsmen tend to view themselves as custodians of old tools and want to keep them around for future generations. “I’m just keeping this in good working order for the next guy.” Really cool that You can go to other TH-camrs for the stuff you can’t handle in house.

I'd love to see the old bearings turned into knife guards or shield parts
Awesome video! Abom's great, and Will's the best, so this was a great collab.
In terms of matching that radius, could you put some abrasive on the radius of the shaft, and use that to create a match on the bearing?

Crazy. Also, with that kid and of energy, if anything goes wrong, it reaaaaally goes wrong.
But man is it amazing to watch it operate
Abom is the man, man! Never thought I'd see this collab. Can't wait to see this from his perspective.
Great and fun video Will, I really enjoy your work and personality.
Who edits your videos?
You selected the right man for the job!
"Measurementing?"
Looks like Florida Man got to Will, too.
Cannot wait to see this thing slam hot steel
Dos grandes se juntaron!!!
