Great work Adam. We would be lucky if everyone took such pride in the work they did. We appreciate the opportunity to spend a few minutes looking over the shoulder of a master of his craft.
You are a master machinist with clean hands !!! Awesome skills.....From an old guy who ran machines a lot but just automotive type machine work mostly.....You have some great equipment.....I enjoy your videos a lot....thanks....
I am impressed with the caution you use to take the time to ease into the exact finished measurement you’re trying to achieve. Anyone watching who is just learning to become a GOOD machinist should pay attention to your technique and use of tools for checking their work. I really enjoy watching a good machinist at his trade.
I am really amazed by the many many adaptors, acesoiries tools and so on there are available for these lathes so just about anything can be accessed and made...
You should talk more often about metals and materials for machining, and some of their properties and uses. Material choice is sometimes tricky. You know a lot about this stuff. Great video btw.
Agreed. I think Adam sometimes talk about it, but a video on the subject on its own or at least more often mentioned what material is used and why - such as "It's important to use 4140 here, because it can take the load" or "stainless 303 is used here because it is easy to machine".
I don’t know who the majority of viewers of these machining/fabricating sites are. I’ve always had the feeling though, that a large part are those who have never done any of this, and are just interested for whatever reason. Maybe understanding what materials we use, and why, would be helpful for them to get a good idea of how we decide to choose how products are built for suitability and durability. But realistically, the rest of us who do this either professionally, or as amateurs, should either know this already, or be interested enough to read about it ourselves. It’s enjoyable watching Adam and others do this, but we should not depend on the random video on a subject for our educational needs. That’s being too passive. We should buy (yes, spend money!) on the needed resources so we can have it in hand, and be able to learn it for ourselves. Professionally, we’ve already had a formal education in this area. In other words; C’mon guys, look things up before starting a project to find the right material and how to work it! That’s a big part of enjoying the process.
Thanks Adam. As a newbie lathe owner I learn so much from your videos. Your workmanship is amazing and your camera setup is perfect, I can always see exactly what's going on. All your hard work pays off!
Not that you even need to see this but you do very top notch professional work which I enjoy watching as an amateur machinist. Great work! Thank you for sharing!
Well I learned something. When doing the countersink... using the stop on the quill and raising the knee until you get the proper depth... and now you’re set for the other 3. Thanks, I probably wouldn’t have lived long enough to figure that out on my own. Inherited a SouthBend 9A and a Taiwanese mill about 2 years ago, so still in the steep part of the learning curve, although I managed to make my first gear a few months ago. That was a highlight!
Excellent series....helped me make the decision to start over and upgrade/ custom build a tailstock for my old enco..but with that antique, sculpted look..I just like old stuff🤣🤣...it'll be an interesting experience for me....your vids are a great resource and inspiration.....be safe
You have a new fan! I am really enjoying your videos (tours and jobs). I'm learning a lot of things I will never do, but it gives me a real appreciation for what it takes to be a machinist. "Very cool" to see parts created out of a blank chunk of metal. (By the way, I am an Electrical Engineer.)
As always Adam, we love hanging out at your shop thank you for allowing us to do so and it's always a pleasure to watch you work eventually I hope to be able toget back into the depths of machining that I am used to which is pretty much the same I'm really digging all the new products you showand think to myself how much easier it would have been if I had something like that.. thanks again for another great video
Hi, this is exactly how I would do it myself, with the same kind of tools I had at my work. It is so nice to see that there is others who can do things on a lathe that I can. The only safety thing is the way you hold the file. We were told to hold it the other way, not having your arm over the chuck when turning. Very nice job. Leif Hansson, Sweden
Agom My daughter and I just back from Florida on Aug 17th , we went to Milton FL to visit my nephew which is in the Navy of 24 years I wanted to come by and visit but so much to do I didn't get to drop by , plus I didn't want to just drop in without any notices . I hope to catch you on the next round . Thanks for all the videos and great content . say hello to your newly wife . Thanks Freddy Bowman
I would love it, as a capper to this series, if Brian Simmons would share a video... or at least a picture... of this installed and working. Thank you for another fun and educational series!
the beginning music really sets a relaxing tone for you videos. makes for nice videos to watch while i wind down form a long day. i appreciate your hard work and just wanted to say thanks for the content
So much to learn from your channel , ** walks to his workshop, to his tiny-hq400 what for me is a "large machine" and is capable of more then i can do ** thanks for the video's and taking the time to show what your doing / and how. Just those imperial measurements :) :) :) autch, coming from a metric person :)
As always I enjoyed watching you make chips. Thanks Showing the setup is important, it the trickiest part of machining. If you are worried about a 30 minute youtube suggested length try releasing videos in 2 parts.
Definately pop open the cover on the headstock, usually bearing adjustment just needs a large hook spanner. Did that at work for one of the lathes as it idn't want to part easily at all and gave funky results sometimes. Bearing adjustment made it part without any issues and took roughly 30-45 minutes to do :)
I don't think I ever thanked you for your tip on how you use telescoping gauge's. How you insert the gauge and how you exit it by gently applying pressure to rock the gauge out. Thanks much :-)
Me gustan mucho tus trabajos por tus acabados en tus pzas. Y por lo que puedo aprender de ti con respecto a este hermoso oficio. Lo único que quisiera pedirte es que se puedan traducir en español. Te felicito y sigue dejando tu legado.
Now how awesome is that. I can watch you work all day. Instead of a LIVE FEED of a Bald Eagle nest, I suggest a LIVE FEED of an American Machinist in his shop. 😁 ABOM is the one who can pull it off. 👌🇨🇦
This was a great turning for that man. Did a beautiful job on it. If I Ever need something turned and built I know who to call and it is Not The Ghost Busters" - LOL. Stay safe and happy.
a^2+b^2=c^2 you knew the y dimensions and the bolt circle (hypotenuse). Your X dimension should have been .9019~.902. It's a clearance hole, so close enough. But simple trig is faster than scribing and trial and error. Great video!!!! It's obvious that you are a machinist and know your craft well. That lathe was singing with those feeds and speeds!
I always recommend that bolt patterns be made symmetric if possible just based off more holes with certain ones missing. For example that probably would have worked out as an 8 hole pattern with 2 holes missing between each pair.
Not at all. For that to be so, the angle at the centre between adjacent holes would need to be 45 degrees. You can see without measuring that this is not the case. There is no integer multiple of a 1" chord distance that will fit around a 2.0625" PCD. Use your Machinery's tables (e.g. www.ptsintl.com/pdfs/Multihead%20Centinel/PitchCircle.pdf) in reverse: work out chord distance/PCD and see if the number matches any in the tables.
I was getting a really strong sense of Déjà Vu when that piece was finished. Then, I realized that it reminded my of the old days when I serviced VCRs. That housing looks similar to a VHS video head drum assembly.
One of the tricks I learned where Im currently working for countersinking holes is to turn the screw upside down, when the hole is countersunk enough the top of the head will kinda pop into place instead of sliding over the surface. Of course i would then double check by dropping the screw in proper every few holes
I saw two things I have never seen before. A fast adjusting micrometer. I saw the button on the end but what the hell goes on inside :) Never seen 3 jaw parallels either. Maybe I need to get out more! Thanks for sharing, what a nice looking result.

all of that info is already in the machinery's handbook
McMaster Carr has a great description on their website.
"Machinery's Handbook" is a great source for that info too!

It is so neat to see blank pieces of metal turn into such nice finished parts. Always a pleasure to watch Adam.

We are always happy to see Adam machine some parts in the shop.
Thank you.
Lance & Patrick.
So ready for the Victor restoration.
That was exactly what I heard!! Adam said "I cant take not being able to part off !" Must RESTORE Victor ;)
@@DawidKellerman It really probably needs the headstock bearings adjusted.
@Chuck Kirchner Keith Rucker is the restoration man...!
@Chuck Kirchner I think I see a Colab coming. Uncle Keith and his long lost nephew ABOM!
As someone who is just getting into machining I watch this channel everyday and learn something valuable everytime.
Really enjoyed this build. The acme thread fit in the nut was a work of art!
Excellent series....helped me make the decision to start over and upgrade/ custom build a tailstock for my old enco..but with that antique, sculpted look..I just like old stuff🤣🤣...it'll be an interesting experience for me....your vids are a great resource and inspiration.....be safe
I love what you have been doing! Plus you look and project a happier vibe!! Keep it going!
So envious you get to do this for work every day!
Beautiful work Adam!

Hi Adam, another super job, just love watching you do your magic. Thanks for sharing. Stay safe and keep up the good work. 👍🖖
That was a beautiful job.I never cease to be amazed at the work you do. thank you for a great video.

Absolutely love that 6 jaw chuck...could watch it turn all day! Great job!!
That surface finish is amazing. Practically looks like a CD!

Big thanks from Germany for your efforts to create interesting content. Thumbs up.
Booth Machine & Tool Shop. Not just a machinist, but a master tool maker to! Muchly enjoyed.
Your a Beast Adam! Love how thorough and detailed you are Sir! Always a pleasure learning from you. Thanks, Otto
I would love it, as a capper to this series, if Brian Simmons would share a video... or at least a picture... of this installed and working. Thank you for another fun and educational series!
I think you do a wonderful job of explaining everything how everything worked out Center metal here using. You put out some wonderful videos
I always love your videos Adam thank you from South Africa
Windhoek Namibia
Gauteng South Africa
First time I've seen a quick slide micrometer like that.
That's a nice feature 👌😊!
Beautiful work Adam. Thanks.
Man, I have been thinking all night on how to do precisely this properly. Thank you dude
Always a pleasure to watch you Adam...(from Quebec city Canada)
Man Adam you are a great man - let us know at his knowledge - and we only consume that stuff - support him
I always learn something by watching you work. Educational and entertaining all at once. Keep 'em coming
@Abom79
you seriously make me want to enroll in the Machinist program at TCC. These pieces are simply wonderful.
the beginning music really sets a relaxing tone for you videos. makes for nice videos to watch while i wind down form a long day. i appreciate your hard work and just wanted to say thanks for the content
I just want to say I appreciate you taking time to get dolled up for your Cameo in today's This Old Tony video about titanium.
A visit with you and Steve Summers makes my weekend my friend. I always enjoy both posts. Nice work bud.
Your work so perfectly.. God how I like your finish done.
That part got soul! No CNC machine can replicate that
Beautiful work as always, Adam. I've been a home shop machinist for many years, but I still have alot to learn!
Thanks for the great video.

Same. Best advice
Awesome as always...
Greetings from Amman Jordan
Great video Adam, I am sure Brian will be delighted. Best regards Sarah
nice video man, it's always cool to watch you work in the shop
Just picked up my own Noga Multi-Burr, works great for everything I need at work!
Nice project. Thanks for the video.
That lead screw can serve as a graduation piece...such knowledge requierd to pull all those different shapes and techniques off..
So nice to watch you work Adam
nice work Mr.Adam, quite inspiring as well as entertaining.
Me gustan mucho tus trabajos por tus acabados en tus pzas. Y por lo que puedo aprender de ti con respecto a este hermoso oficio. Lo único que quisiera pedirte es que se puedan traducir en español. Te felicito y sigue dejando tu legado.

Great show as usual. THANKS Adam Booth.
I haven't watched your videos cause I'm saving them for winter ! Good deal!
Hi Adam. I love that quick adjust mic. you have there!
Really interesting project with all the setup and tool choices.
headstock tear down and bearing adjustment would be a very entertaining video Adam!
I love the look of shiny parts, all completed :-)
Nice little flex with the quick adjustment on that mic! Great job as always
Best youtube channel by far....
Always a great way to spend my Saturday afternoon. Thanks for sharing.
hope the next job is soon , I SURE ENJOYED !!.. Thanks Adam ..
I really like your clean machinery shop, high quality video and sound, highly experienced Abom.
You always have the coolest tools!!!! love the de burring tool!!!! keep up the great work and videos!
The small jobs aren't as dramatic as the big shafts you used to work on, but they show many more procedures. I like them both.
Fabulous work!
Beautiful build
Were all still learning thats what makes a good engineer .
very nice. always fun to watch and learn
Love watching your work...even thoug I have no idea what tailstock is, it was still interesting how you measured for the bolt holes!!
A tailstock is what he's using to hold the drills and push them into the work before he does the boring👍
Looking good there Adam. Looking better over on "this old tony's" though!...........With friends like him who needs enemies!
Keep up the good work!
Such a fine work.
Beautiful job!
Looks like that was a 6 hole pattern with 2 holes not used.
Thanks for sharing
If that were so, the diagonal measurement would be two inches exactly, not the 2.0625 you were shown.
Adom, you make it look easy. Thank you for the video.
Beautiful work.
Man that stainless looks so pretty, excellent job man.
Superb job Adam. The comment earlier about which metal grades to use would be worth seeing in a future video.
I am jealous of jour nice work

He used to pattern based off of the casting area of the tailstock.
Awesome! Thanks
