Personally, i like the content. I like getting new things too, it's nice to use new tools that work well and are accurate. Adam has done enough hydraulic rods in his life to kick back, do TH-cam and take on jobs that he wants, and accept products that he likes and thinks will be good for HIM and the channel. He's 3rd generation machinist, his grandfather would have loved and cherished the opportunities Adam has brought about for his family. Well done. Thank you very much for sharing you knowledge.👍👌🇦🇺
46:45 Aging [75] Canadian man here. Back in the dark ages [early 1960s] when I was in high school, our metal shop instructor showed us how nice a surface finish we could achieve by draw-filing - the file's cutting edges are at a diagonal angle to the direction of the tool movement so that the cutting edges are in gentle continuous contact with the workpiece. No chattering like a coarse bastard file would tend to do. A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away...
This guy really deserves a You Tube channel. You tube is a club of amateurs today who don't know anything but think they know better than others and they try to discover hot water. Here we've seen and learned a lot of good things, unfortunately the amateurs have ruined YT. Good work sir as always.
I love ya Adam, you were one of the first machinist channels I subbed to and made sure I watched every one as soon as it came out .. That said though, please don't simp to the algorithm to the extent that you chop videos up so much that it's one operation per video like this. There was, shockingly, only a single op for this 50min video, taking ~160thou off the base. It should've been one video for each of the pieces; video for all of the body/fixed-jaw, one for the dynamic jaw/ram, and the last one for the base. When a project is broken down *_this far_* for the "almighty algorithm", you're alienating your followers for the sake of YT's statistics. I mean if that's what you WANT to do, then by all means, don't let me or anyone else stop you. I just hope you value the community that's formed around you more than the platform and it's janky ever-changing algorithm. Because I just sacrificed an hour of my life, one less hour to live on this Earth .. for a single surface cleanup.
Draw filing was one of the first skills I learned in metal work back in high school in the 70ies. It was emphasized as a fundamental filing method and one of our first projects was hand finished with draw filing. I use it all the time for many applications for accuracy and finish. You are the first youtuber I have seen use it and it is sad to see that you have to justify a legitimate method to keep the you tube nannies at bay. Beautiful work !
I remembered the comments on draw filing about the time you mentioned them. I've like draw filing since 8th grade shop back in about 1970-1971. To me, it's almost therapeutic; almost like using a sharp wood plane on a nice piece of wood.
Adam, I learned about draw filing in metal shop class in Junior High School, can't believe people don't think it's correct. Thanks for all your videos!
I would love to see more companies do what Jason is trying to do. Too many companies are going the easy way and manufacturing overseas. Support America I feel is needed. And hopefully it happens.
Thanks Adam for the video. I am a toolmake and in the toolshop we have a large wire edm machine. I use that for the square hole in the main body. Yes a very time consuming and expencive way to make but thats a way to get it done.
That'll be the best fireball nice made with an Adam's touch. Jason should offer offer as a kit a personal machinist touch 90% of the time for their self ends up being a very fantastic tool . Thanks for the video
I noticed a nice 250R in the background. I built an '85 up a few years ago of course hotting up the engine. Dang it's fun sliding it through a corner. They can be a handful but the power is addicting. Enjoy it! Oyeah,, nice vid on Jasons vise too.
cannot wait for this upcoming content for this project. It looks as though this is going to be a fun one Adam. I'm an old Cert welder and got to play a bit with Automotive shop maintenance and have been hooked ever since.
I love draw filing as part of sharpening large knifes and machetes. They have a tendency to get an apple seed edge, even if that's not the user's intent. That's just how they wear and the least resistance to hand sharpening. I run 3 different grades of files in a draw file manor before moving on to diamond stones. This flattens out the edge, makes quick work of repairing any chips or bending of the edge, and allows for a multiple degree edge geometry to be applied to prolong the sharpness of the edge without sacrificing edge strength nor making the cut have more drag.
I definitely enjoyed this. It's nice to see a recent video of someone (ahem...) *actually* indicating in a casting before going at them. Seems like you know what you're doing!
The rectangular tunnel through the vise will be fun with the old shaper, can't wait for that! Machining it with with a giant broach is pure savage, something I would expect from Jason!
SHAPER! Thrilled to see you're thinking of using it. It'll be perfect for that application. Looking forward to seeing more. That cast iron machines nicely. It's fun to see metal cut dry like that.
Man i can’t tell you how excited i am about a collab between abom and fireball. And especially on something i could do myself at home on my bridgeport. I love this series of episodes so much already. Can’t wait for the next episode!
I remember the filing comments....ouch. And not to be out done....we can't forget the comment deluge regarding the exploding drain trap on the water fountain. Wow!
Perhaps if Jason had it cast in 2 pieces it would be easier to manufacture as the base could be flat and the inside miled out. Then 4 bolts up each side could have attached it together. 8 1/2” boots in shear should be plenty strong to hold it together.
Awesome stuff! A shame Jason doesn’t need 10,000 of them, as it would be fun to watch what Titans of CNC could do with the project. I could envision less than a minute with three machines working simultaneously. I would pay to watch that video.
Mr Booth... I can't overstate my appreciation for the content. Also the "you should have read the comments on that one"😂😂😂. Keep up the good work and remember... Haters gonna hate but here you are still killing it! Im looking forward to the rest of this build.
It looks like there is some slight draft on the base circumference. Draw filing first around the base circumference would help remove those high spots making indicating a bit easier, that's what Joe Pie would do.
That clamping setup reminds me of beeing a kid playing with lego. I would have tried to keep the center cutout level, when clamping, just to end up with the most even strength of material around it, when I am done machining.
I have wanted this vise since Jason first built the prototype but it cost as much as i paid for my milling machine so kinda hard to justify for the home shop. One day i will have one with a table!
5:32 As soon as Adam mention the inside machining, I instantly thought Jason would use a custom Broach! He's going to have quite a few to make and that's the MOST efficient way to machine that, BUT he'll be selling a GOOD number of them before that Broach pays back!! It takes some guts to jump into a project like this! If had to do it (one or two off) and no Shaper? I'd use a long end mill and machine it from each side (very difficult to get it to match perfectly) AND with the radius that's left?? Hand file it one corner at the time, it's basically the only way I could figure besides say, using a band saw and hand finishing it. A BIG decision Jason would have had t make is "How Many to Cast"!!! I bet Jason spent some late nights exercising his business seance figuring that one out!! ... That and the Broach is a MASSIVE up front expense!!
It’s so nice to watch a seasoned experienced professional using quality tooling perform his art. As the millwrights and machinists I worked with said “ I bet if we gave him a pile of dirt he could make a work of art”. Big thanks for all your sharing and all you do. 👍👍👍
Great video - a few years back in the old shop I inquired if Adam would ever consider building a HEAVY duty vise to Abom standards but said he didnt foresee a need as he had so many large high quality vises already - so while this is not Adams design im really stoked to follow this project by two of the most heavy duty high quality machinists on YT, Adam Booth and Jason Marburger of Fireball tools. Jasons designs especially the USA version of this vise are amazing and remind me of old school vises from the past and Adams machine work will be a great pairing to watch as it all comes together into one of the best "Beast" vises ever made out of cast iron-!! Looking great Adam cant wait to follow the whole series-!
Very cool. Thanks. Really looking forward to the shaper episodes. Hope that round base is nicely centered with respect to the body where the rectangular passage will be cut given all your precise indicating work. For appearance of the final product seems that opening having equal wall thicknessees would be important. Just guessing...
That would be cool if he made the made in USA castings available for sale. I'd buy one to machine myself, looks like a fun project and if I'm machining dusty smelly cast iron it might as well be Made In USA! Who knows what's in the chineseium cast iron, that stuff smells!
You the shaper, haven't see that in so long!!!! Would also be a nice thing is a update on everyday life. We see Abby alot, how's she doing with dealing with a TH-cam life. Lol😂

Abom Standard
As much as I love your new shop, I do miss your home shop videos and machinery

He is totally commercialized. He simps any freebies he can get. Basically unwatchable.
Abom standards. Such a polite way of saying that ❤
When standard precision is not enough then simply machine it to Abom standards.

Draw filing was the first thing my dad taught my at a kid and working on machines, Along with a file card to clean the file. Thanks for sharing.
I would love to see more companies do what Jason is trying to do. Too many companies are going the easy way and manufacturing overseas. Support America I feel is needed. And hopefully it happens.
Your a great person, going to show the people of America that we can still do this kind of work .. 😃😃😃😃
Thanks Adam for the video. I am a toolmake and in the toolshop we have a large wire edm machine. I use that for the square hole in the main body. Yes a very time consuming and expencive way to make but thats a way to get it done.
we had some 150 um Ground-signal-ground probes that were created with EDM. From small to gigantic!
wire edm where the first thought I had. Don't have personal experience with it, but it seems like it could be a good solution
That'll be the best fireball nice made with an Adam's touch.
Jason should offer offer as a kit a personal machinist touch 90% of the time for their self ends up being a very fantastic tool .
Thanks for the video
Anyone else notice the 3 wheeler in the background. Love the content Adam?
I was taught the draw filing technique in USN aviation school in '71, making aluminum patch panels
Apologies Glen - only read your comment (almost duplicate of mine) before commenting 👍👍
Learned how to properly use a file from Marine Gunny Sargent in 'A' school at Millington Tennesee '67
Thanks @fireballtools for building badass tools. And thanks Adam for taking us on a journey building a Abom approved badass vise.
Looking forward to the shaper content. Always loved the old school machines!
These vice changed the game. Nothing compares to them.
I noticed a nice 250R in the background. I built an '85 up a few years ago of course hotting up the engine. Dang it's fun sliding it through a corner. They can be a handful but the power is addicting. Enjoy it!

abom standard, is the highest quality BAR NONE!
a standard i hope one day to achieve
Machinist like you Adam are a dying breed keep up the good qualityAnd perfection

Seen Adam using a tape measure in his videos, is a kind of thing you've never expected. Great job as always. Regards from Brasil
Sometimes you don't need everything dead nuts down to 1000th. Sure you can do it if you want but it's not really necessary.
use a tape for rough cuts and getting an idea, then put it in the lathe turn it perfect then go from there with your precision instruments
The rectangular tunnel through the vise will be fun with the old shaper, can't wait for that! Machining it with with a giant broach is pure savage, something I would expect from Jason!
Yes and a 500 ton press to push the broach I expect!
Exactly what my doctor ordered after a long day at work, an Abom79 video!
SHAPER! Thrilled to see you're thinking of using it. It'll be perfect for that application. Looking forward to seeing more. That cast iron machines nicely. It's fun to see metal cut dry like that.
Thanks Adam this is what I like you to see doing
Man i can’t tell you how excited i am about a collab between abom and fireball. And especially on something i could do myself at home on my bridgeport. I love this series of episodes so much already. Can’t wait for the next episode!
I remember the filing comments....ouch. And not to be out done....we can't forget the comment deluge regarding the exploding drain trap on the water fountain. Wow!
Cut’n metal & make’n chips. Awesome.
Fireball makes some of the best stuff you can find.
CNC broaching! Do it all the time on my HAAS
I like these multi part build series like how BlondiHacks does
How's about that guys, gonna make mine "abom standards" eh! so cool. Really looking forward to this series.
Hi Adam! Looking forward to seeing the shaper in action, again.
Starting the vice base, a horizontal mill would be a great fit for the first two surfaces. Great project. Thanks for sharing.
Perhaps if Jason had it cast in 2 pieces it would be easier to manufacture as the base could be flat and the inside miled out. Then 4 bolts up each side could have attached it together. 8 1/2” boots in shear should be plenty strong to hold it together.
REAL NICE WORK WITH THE STRAP ATOM. I REMEMBER MY FIRST TIME CHUCKING UP SOMETHING IN THE VICE.
Adam I believe all that needs said; my compliments on this exemplary work. Thank you for sharing this. .. I enjoyed it .
I’ve watched the vise testing and definitely Jason’s vise is tougher than any other.
It’s basically a copy of a British Record vice.
American vices have always been terrible in comparison to Record.
Awesome stuff! A shame Jason doesn’t need 10,000 of them, as it would be fun to watch what Titans of CNC could do with the project. I could envision less than a minute with three machines working simultaneously. I would pay to watch that video.
Great video Adam, this is going to be a fun project watching you work your magic.
Thanks for sharing.
I think this is gonna be a really great series! All sorts of different techniques and stuff for you to show off!
I love watching your channel you are such a professional.
Yes a shaper video is coming. It is by far my favorite metal manipulation tool. USA made tools always intrigues me.
Logically yes, just hope he can get under the scale for a good finish.
Love watching cast iron being machined, it works beautifully!
That casting was done right , having machined tons of cast materials the foundry did its job correcly..
Will be colonizing Mars by the time this is finished😢
How many shots can you take drilling a hole and vacuuming the mess? Wow.
🤣🤣🤣
Man, those castings are flawless. Hats off to fireball. Ive been watching some casting videos from India and goddam the castings are full of voids :D
Mr Booth... I can't overstate my appreciation for the content. Also the "you should have read the comments on that one"😂😂😂. Keep up the good work and remember... Haters gonna hate but here you are still killing it! Im looking forward to the rest of this build.
It looks like there is some slight draft on the base circumference. Draw filing first around the
base circumference would help remove those high spots making indicating a bit easier, that's
what Joe Pie would do.
knock off those warts and pimples
Hey Adam, thanks for making videos for all these years! Your the man for this project.
Been looking forward to this series of machining! Going to be fire! 🔥👍
Cutting metal...fun fun fun...☺
That clamping setup reminds me of beeing a kid playing with lego. I would have tried to keep the center cutout level, when clamping, just to end up with the most even strength of material around it, when I am done machining.
I have wanted this vise since Jason first built the prototype but it cost as much as i paid for my milling machine so kinda hard to justify for the home shop. One day i will have one with a table!
I really enjoy the video Adam!,, 👍👊
Looks like a beast of a vice 🔥

Won’t be able to find a nicer vise in all of creation once this one is done👍🙂
It’s so nice to watch a seasoned experienced professional using quality tooling perform his art. As the millwrights and machinists I worked with said “ I bet if we gave him a pile of dirt he could make a work of art”. Big thanks for all your sharing and all you do. 👍👍👍
Greting from Germany 🎉
That’s one hell of a toilet. Probably cold as heck in the winter.
Im gonna watch TV that way I can see more commercials
Interesting work, thanks for sharing.
You really are a precision perfectionist. And that's what counts in the finished product.
An actual machining video!
Great video - a few years back in the old shop I inquired if Adam would ever consider building a HEAVY duty vise to Abom standards but said he didnt foresee a need as he had so many large high quality vises already - so while this is not Adams design im really stoked to follow this project by two of the most heavy duty high quality machinists on YT, Adam Booth and Jason Marburger of Fireball tools.

Nice the vise is really great looking !
excellent start on the vice build!! great episode Adam! Many thx!!
Shaper time 🎉
“ Abom standard “ 😎
That vise is going to be epic. I appreciate the time you took with the machining as you’ve said cast iron is tough to machine.
Appears to be cast steel, I could be wrong though.
Excellent video. A master machinist at work.
I love it! So cool, you got the Made in USA Version. This is a proper vise.
Very cool. Thanks. Really looking forward to the shaper episodes. Hope that round base is nicely centered with respect to the body where the rectangular passage will be cut given all your precise indicating work. For appearance of the final product seems that opening having equal wall thicknessees would be important. Just guessing...
Very nice to watch,, I've often wondered how this was done,,, looking forward to the next video !!
Thanks !!!
Oooo, shaper.content coming up. 😁 looking forward to it. Enjoyed the video!
Exciting start to a machining project.
What a great and big project,Adam.Looking forward to the next one.Thank you.
16:55 Always nice to see Abom torque!
Old school shaper. YESS !!
GORGEOUS new angles
I'm here for some shaper action
I've been eagerly anticipating this build! Super cool!
Un bonjour de la France 👍👍
Very cool project Adam! As always, loving your vids.
Love your content and collaboration with FB tools.
That would be cool if he made the made in USA castings available for sale. I'd buy one to machine myself, looks like a fun project and if I'm machining dusty smelly cast iron it might as well be Made In USA! Who knows what's in the chineseium cast iron, that stuff smells!
The casting is very nicely done, considering Adam can center it up to pretty much within 5-10 thou
at last some machining!! this is why we are here
SHAPER SHAPER SHAPER! 👍
Wonderfull machinning, enjoyed the video.🔩🔧⚙
Nice!!! Big Vice!!!
That is one good looking casting!
You the shaper, haven't see that in so long!!!! Would also be a nice thing is a update on everyday life. We see Abby alot, how's she doing with dealing with a TH-cam life. Lol😂
