Adam, following you for a couple of years now, doing all this awesome things and taking the time to explain what you're doing, there's a teacher in you. Seeing you interact with Will and taking the time to explain it all with clarity... there's a treasure of knowledge and passion there. Keep going!
It’s always a joy to watch Adam work. He takes such pride in his craft and clearly still gets a thrill from fundamental machining. Will looks like a sharp kid.
Wills excitement on the surface finish was refreshing to see his level of appreciation for your talent. Adam you make it look so easy, but decades of sweat, brains, and love of the craft are showing!
It’s easy to forget how talented and knowledgeable Adam is until you see him work with a young person who [knows way more than me but] seems a little clumsy and awe struck. Yet Adam is humble and makes the kid feel smart and welcome. Then you realize that’s what Adam’s been doing with us this whole time. He knows we don’t know anything about machining but makes us feel like we do.
WOW I love that monster lathe! Adam, you have some great toys and you know how to make them all sing in harmony! Thanks for all you do for this community and take care!! John in Florida.
Using an antique lathe to repair an even older power hammer. I love how those great old tools can just keep going and going with the right tlc. Just wonderful to see.
I really enjoy watching you work. I am not a machinist but my dad was a master machinist who began working as an apprentice at the Washington D.C Navy yard in 1940. He retired in 1978 . I picked up enough from him however to understand and follow what you are doing and did get to see him at his job a couple of times. I still have his tool box from when he retired and most of the tools he left in it. If he were still here I am sure that he would enjoy watching your channel.
Adam I have learned you know your stuff when it comes to the machining but man you have a knack with people and teaching. Well done. Very enjoyable project to watch.
Will worked with an "older" guy for a while named Alec Steele. Both of them are absolute ARTISTS. (Alec is 25. Two whole years older than Will.) Both of them have fantastic UA-cam channels.
This great to see you guys all calibrate together and learn off each other ,not like other youtube channels all in competitions with each other ,Great video guys thank you 💯👍💙
There are good machinists and very good machinists and then there is you. You can see Will's amazement at just how fast you centred the part, that blew his mind and then the surface finish..... I do take a small issue with the hoodie he was wearing around a high speed lathe but that's just me. I reckon Will learned a lot about just setting up a piece properly in the lathe, he's learned from the best. I love the sound of the pacemaker running up.... big heavy induction 3 phase, yes please....🙂
I had recommended Abom to them years ago when they had first got their shop open in Montana. I'm glad they finally got together on a project. Both are craftsman!
Well, I think he equpped this shop just for that purpose... And his hardcore content lately has been on the up"swing" .. so hopefully the grousing peanut gallery are silenced onced and for all
In my limited experience, industry has a gazillion great machinists, but finding a shop that will take annoying little jobs from a home gamer really is hard to find!
(Thinks, Oh, hey, Adam's finally going to use the American Pacemaker.) (Thinks again, Hmm, I guess I've been watching these videos a really long time if I can immediately name one of his lathes.) Great stuff -- the young man sounds so thrilled about the excellent job you've done. Nice.
Always amazing seeing these older machines still turning out parts. They sure knew how to build them. Can't even imagine how many parts this lathe and those power hammers have made over the years.
First job I did as an apprentice when I started was to make new piston rings for a steam driven power hammer in our very old shop (we have steam as we have a turbine in our steel mill). We turned and bored them then parted them off and split them. We then used the proper sized dowel, hung them on the rod and heated with a torch until yellow and annealed them. Turned the cast iron flexible and opened the split gap to the right size. Was a really cool first job. Diameter of the rings were about 18".
Adam, Will, What a beautiful video and encounter of good friends! And on top of that HUGE axles in the Monarch for the first time! Best video in a long time. I hope this signals the return of the old days at Abom79! I for sure keep watch both your channels.
OMG! At 17:00 Adan tells us that this ancient American Pacemaker is _still_ dead nuts accurate. The center is still on. Who were these people that built that lathe? They were Americans and they built unsurpassed machine tools, like this one. Amazing. Of course all of the users over the decades had to respect this tool, but really: This. Is. Amazing.
One of the most enjoyable videos to watch from the channel for a long time. I think we saw a little more of the real Adam here, and it was all good! Loved every second and hope to see more of this type of content in the future.
I went to school in Bozeman, Montana State. That was where I first ran a metal lathe and a vertical mill. MSU had a great Industrial Arts department back in the 70's. That was when they were training the next generation of shop teachers. Sadly, I'm sure, most of the shop classes were cut, like elsewhere in the country, because people couldn't see spending that much on educating young people.
G'day Adam As much as I love seeing big Monarch's cut 1/2" of each side of a workpiece, watching your American Pacemaker is a joy as well. What amazing machines came out of Cincinnati, OH ? I have a Scots lathe, a John Lang I'm working on, and it's a good bit of gear, but when I watch that Pacemaker, I'm just in awe. Thanks
This was a very smart, educational and entertaining video, Adam. Will asked great questions and you are an excellent instructor. Abby captured it all quite nicely.
Friend of mine’s a retired machinist from Norfolk Naval shipyard 46 years been there done that seen that when he retired, they called him back three times asking him how to do stuff. What can you expect from the government?
Adam, following you for a couple of years now, doing all this awesome things and taking the time to explain what you're doing, there's a teacher in you. Seeing you interact with Will and taking the time to explain it all with clarity... there's a treasure of knowledge and passion there. Keep going!
It’s always a joy to watch Adam work. He takes such pride in his craft and clearly still gets a thrill from fundamental machining.
Will looks like a sharp kid.
Watching this video I saw that kid in me, I'm 77 now. . . . My how fast that time went by. . .
Wills excitement on the surface finish was refreshing to see his level of appreciation for your talent. Adam you make it look so easy, but decades of sweat, brains, and love of the craft are showing!
It’s easy to forget how talented and knowledgeable Adam is until you see him work with a young person who [knows way more than me but] seems a little clumsy and awe struck.

You have a wonderful UA-cam channel Abom79. You bring us sanity to this crazy world we live in.
This is what I love about the community. The strong connection and help that’s passed on to younger and older.
I think your in your element, the pacemaker is a beautiful machine and it takes a man who knows what he doing to run right. Your the man!
Best part is watching the instruction, and Will's excitement at learning.
It's great to see the American Pacemaker being used for a job it is so well suited for. Nice!
Yes indeed! Be equally nicer in my shop. Ha ha.
Absolutely fantastic to see you help a young lad who wants to do this kind of stuff rather than twiddle his thumbs on a play station.
WOW I love that monster lathe! Adam, you have some great toys and you know how to make them all sing in harmony! Thanks for all you do for this community and take care!! John in Florida.
Adam I sure like seeing you use the chuck wrench I made for you 😀😀😀😀
Using an antique lathe to repair an even older power hammer. I love how those great old tools can just keep going and going with the right tlc. Just wonderful to see.
More like the old days of "saturday night special" - great video
If anybody knows how to machine a Giant shaft, It’s Adam Booth. The Pacemaker never fails to impress. Big Tools for a BIG MAN! Love your new shop.
That is what she said
I agree with Will. I think you should become a machinist. You are really good at it! 😀
I really enjoy watching you work. I am not a machinist but my dad was a master machinist who began working as an apprentice at the Washington D.C Navy yard in 1940. He retired in 1978 . I picked up enough from him however to understand and follow what you are doing and did get to see him at his job a couple of times. I still have his tool box from when he retired and most of the tools he left in it. If he were still here I am sure that he would enjoy watching your channel.
Seeing two of my favorite creators and inspirations 'collad' is simply awesome!
Adam I have learned you know your stuff when it comes to the machining but man you have a knack with people and teaching. Well done. Very enjoyable project to watch.
Will, you found absolutely the BEST machinist East of the Mississippi!
It amazes me how the UA-cam family comes together to work and help each other out.
I enjoyed seeing the two of you interact. Thanks.
I love the community of you guys. two guys from oppisit sides of a continent helping each other. This is amazing.
It is cool seeing a young man getting in the art of knife making. I pictured a old man wanting this work done.
Will worked with an "older" guy for a while named Alec Steele. Both of them are absolute ARTISTS. (Alec is 25. Two whole years older than Will.) Both of them have fantastic UA-cam channels.
This great to see you guys all calibrate together and learn off each other ,not like other youtube channels all in competitions with each other ,Great video guys thank you 💯👍💙
Good to see the Pacemaker in operation. It runs smooth
As a baby's bum.
Quality plus as usual; if it's USA made.
There are good machinists and very good machinists and then there is you. You can see Will's amazement at just how fast you centred the part, that blew his mind and then the surface finish..... I do take a small issue with the hoodie he was wearing around a high speed lathe but that's just me.

I love the sound of the pacemaker running up.... big heavy induction 3 phase, yes please....🙂
Adam you should do this for a living - classic 😅
I had recommended Abom to them years ago when they had first got their shop open in Montana. I'm glad they finally got together on a project. Both are craftsman!
I love manuel machines and the skill to run them .thanks Adam
This is classic ABOM working the big stuff with ease. Hope there's more to come.
Well, I think he equpped this shop just for that purpose... And his hardcore content lately has been on the up"swing" .. so hopefully the grousing peanut gallery are silenced onced and for all
He's not kidding. It's hard to find a good machinist. Thanks Abom.
In my limited experience, industry has a gazillion great machinists, but finding a shop that will take annoying little jobs from a home gamer really is hard to find!
He seems like a very nice young man and very appreciative
The perfect video to completely relax to and watch on a 4K screen!
with a 1080p video....
(Thinks, Oh, hey, Adam's finally going to use the American Pacemaker.)
(Thinks again, Hmm, I guess I've been watching these videos a really long time if I can immediately name one of his lathes.)
Great stuff -- the young man sounds so thrilled about the excellent job you've done. Nice.
Always amazing seeing these older machines still turning out parts. They sure knew how to build them.
Can't even imagine how many parts this lathe and those power hammers have made over the years.
These one of a kind projects are the reason I watch Adam. You can see the generations of skill that he puts into every piece.
Great to see you passing on your knowledge to the younger guys.
After watching this video it's one of my favorites Adam and Will or both phenomenal people and I hope they do more collaborations in the future
Collaboration between two of my favorite UA-camrs - well done Adam and Will
Been following him and Steele for years! 😁
You can bet that trucker new exactly what he was doing! Welcome to on the road and old time truckers in general.
You look so good on these manual machining projects. I saw his video about this item about two weeks ago. Nice job Adam 👌🏻
Abom79,, That is your new Apprentice, best video ever!!
It is always a delight to see you working, Mr B. And helping out a fellow craftsman is THE way to go.
I love the kid doing his best to talk shop
Great videography from Abby as usual!
Good to see the joy on Will face as the finish of the shaft comes to life.
He's a nice kid, he loves the work!
I like the fact the young man asked questions that’s how you learn
That's what i like a lot about watching Will. He seems to thrive on finding people to learn from.
love watching Wills cHannel Adam what a fun guest to Have visIt
the shop for a bit of much needed repair.
Great to see the big lathe run so well.
All the novice questions and explaining by Adam, Love it
I finally got to see some chips. Enjoyed the show

Loved the work with Will. It's great seeing folks I like doing things together.
That Pacemaker is a beast! GoPro shutter LED lighting mismatch.
I find it distracting and sometimes frustrating when people want to talk to me when I'm machining. You are a true professional .
Great video!
Adam, Will,
What a beautiful video and encounter of good friends! And on top of that HUGE axles in the Monarch for the first time!
Best video in a long time. I hope this signals the return of the old days at Abom79! I for sure keep watch both your channels.
Love the crossover.

They were Americans and they built unsurpassed machine tools, like this one. Amazing. Of course all of the users over the decades had to respect this tool, but really: This. Is. Amazing.
So cool to see the pacemaker working , awesome video .
Been looking forward to this vkdeo ever since I saw Wills version.
Nice collaboration project, good to see both of you enjoying the project.. Love that finish from the pacemaker 👍👍
Cool beans guys. I hope we get to see them in action after they're repaired
One of the most enjoyable videos to watch from the channel for a long time. I think we saw a little more of the real Adam here, and it was all good! Loved every second and hope to see more of this type of content in the future.
It's good to get to know each other. It's good to help each other. It's good to share experiences. It's good to learn from each other! 👍🛠❤😎
I've been away from the channel for a bit but I have to say I really enjoyed this two part series.
Great to help out the youngsters
He's a great kid.
Great that you could help him out.

I love you Adem just so good content. Love to see you in your own shop. You have come along way from when I first started watching you.well done
G'day Adam

Good for another hundred years.
came for the machining stayed for the free shipping.😆 Will+Adam=amazing
WILL: I have been watching Adam for 12 years. He _always_ indicates to one thousandth,
"It's hard to find a good machinist." Truer words have never been uttered. And it's even harder to find a good tool & die maker.
Hey...it's had to find a good barber...doctor...teacher...you name it...
I like this video, watching Abom operate the mill is a treat .
The close ups we usually see are great , but seeing him move around is cool too .
This was a very smart, educational and entertaining video, Adam. Will asked great questions and you are an excellent instructor. Abby captured it all quite nicely.
So cool to see you and Will Stelter on a project!
Love that pacemaker action👍
Good content, thanks Adam!
Will just seems like an awesome young man.
You are Very nice chap Adam, hello from the UK
Greetings everyone from Brazil.
It's good to see your video crew.
Can't wait for second installment.
I've always known this but if you watch this video really good you can see the focus and passionate Adam has for his work
Good to see the Pacemaker in action!
Great video Adam, thanks.
Nice work and finish; attention to detail and tolerances.
Great vid Adam. Looking forward to part2
Really get a feel for just how massive that lathe is from that angle… You have some nice tools…
You're 100% correct. it's hard to find a good machine shop.
Friend of mine’s a retired machinist from Norfolk Naval shipyard 46 years been there done that seen that when he retired, they called him back three times asking him how to do stuff. What can you expect from the government?
Good work, Adam. Nice to see support from an awesome Blacksmith too!
Nice turning
Saw you on I-40 in arizona on Wednesday I was hauling the white boat on my flat bed. 🎉
This was great to watch and your skills are impressive
Adom you are a master at what you do
Lots of useful information on cleaning up shafts. Thanks for sharing this.
