My father was a Slotter, and I remember him sitting there for hours, digging chips out of the soles of his work boots, with a penknife. Over the years, he must've brought home a few hundredweight of steel, in the soles of his work boots.
I have been following Trent and Heath for some time Adam , they are great craftsmen , your boots are in safe hands with those guys . Thanks for the video Adam 👏👏👏👍🇬🇧🍺
Man! That is a big chuck of metal! Careful planning, measurement and preparation is 90% of machine work. You have done those three things. Your outcome is guaranteed.
One of the things I learned during my military tour “USAF” ‘51/‘54 was to change your boots every day. That was drilled into us during basic training & it has stuck me. Alternating your boots give them more time to dry out & extend the life of your boots. It also improves your foot health.
I've been watching Trenton and Heath for about a year now. It's super addictive. They're the biggest reason why I restored my old Redwing Supersoles from 19 years ago when I worked at the printing company. There was printing ink all over them.
Hey there Adam, I somehow found your channel a few days ago. I'm really glad I did! I'm no machinist nor have I ever work in a machine shop. I was a mechanic for around 30 years. I've also done some welding and fabrication work here and there. Having said that I now remember how I found your channel. It was a spray welding vid you did awhile ago. I must Sir that you are a pleasure to watch! From the few videos I've watched. You knowledge, skill, and attention to detail is just outstanding! I'm not in a financial position to be able to donate to the channel. I'm no longer able to work in my trade, nor can I get a work release from any of my doctors. But I just wanted to reach out and at least tell you my thoughts about your work and channel. I know it takes time to produce this type of content and still get your machining work done. You do an outstanding job at both!! So Thank You Sir for all your time and efforts! They are truly appreciated! Again OUTSTANDING work Sir!!
I used to work in broadcast TV years ago on the engineering end as well as production and I know a good writer/producer/director of documentary style videos when I see one. You have the skills of a professional. You understand the fundamental concepts of human interest, storyboard continuity, camera work, narration, post production, editing, music, time lapse and technical quality. In short, you could work in the business of documentary video production if given the opportunity. You are that good. Your openings, main subject continuity, closings and attention to detail are the best I have seen on RUclips in a long time. Your shot angles and placement of the cameras is perfect in that they provide a very important element when telling a story using video...perspective. The close-ups are downright mesmerizing. I too, like thousands of others, am addicted to your videos and check my email everyday for another upload. Good job, Adam..!
@@paulcopeland9035 Wow - I don't pay attention as to when videos are uploaded, I just watch and enjoy them ! I've seen a few from his old work and just hadn't realised he was no longer there - so it's taken me by surprise !
I came to your channel after seeing Trenton & Heath repair your boots. You are a fine teacher. I was going to school to become a machinist and then the doctors disabled me because of complications of a head and neck injury suffered in a head-on collision. I tried working with the machines I had but had to throw in the towel when I lost so much hand strength I could no longer safely do things. I still love machine work and always enjoy seeing a good teacher sharing their craft.
I could both smell and taste that rust dust. Spent many an hour doing wire brush rust removal at an old job. Wore the same respirators that the painters used, but I could still smell/taste the rust. Ah, the memory of a nasty dirty back breaking job. Thanks, I think.. :)
The job I didn't like the most in an automotive shop was cleaning the carbon off of intake and exhaust valves. I could smell and taste the dust from that for a couple days.
They did an excellent job on your boots. I seen their video redoing your boots, that's what brought me to your channel and I subscribed! Keep up the great work, love your videos!
Good video. Interestingly enough, one of the boot repair videos popped up in my feed a couple of days ago. Neat stuff. Thanks for taking us along with your projects.
Great video Adam. I stumbled on the Trenton & Heath youtube videos a few months ago and have been enjoying watching them. Looking forward to seeing your boots given a new life.
I appreciate the way the youtube craftspeople share projects and viewers among the various trades and channels. The history of building this country was very dependent on cooperation between the trades and skilled crafts that support the workers in specialized professions.
I love indicating, and setups videos. It's what got me hooked on Abomb's channel years ago. I'm not a machinist or fabricator, it looks like magic to a layperson like me.
Next time I see you cleaning up that rust I want you to wear a mask, like the ones we use in this pandemic cause I want to keep you in good health. you are the BEST out there.
I tried a pair of thorogoods after you mentioned them a couple years back, and I haven’t worn dire t work boots since. I’ve been through danner, Wolverine, redwing, you name it, the thorogoods are hands down the most comfortable work boots, and made in USA! You ain’t gonna run a marathon in them, but you can’t beat the comfort, stability, and durability. I send mine back to thorogood for refinishing, but want to see how these guys do with yours.
for it's day a great engineering accomplishment, now today it takes highly skilled professionals to make this engine and the rest of the tender plus the locomotive too. This engine has undergone quite the transformation from the first time Keith introduce it to us.
Being in Construction for 25 years I have always appreciated the skill of machinists have. I love how with some of the work they do there is more work in the set up than the actual machining. My fear is, like the construction industry, the people with the skills necessary to do quality work are slowly disappearing. We need young people to realize the value of carrying on these skills and how important it is to always have people who can do these things. Thanks Abom for what you do.
Young people today only want to feed a computer that will do the job, so old people like Adam and me will be the last of the trade making 1 of a peace.......
Hey Adam great videos you make nice to see someone shows a fine craftmanship. I'm also a machinist of old school and I'm from Denmark here metalworkers honors their work like you do. you shall receive a great cadau here from Denmark
Who in their right mind doesn't throw a couple bucks worth of WD-40 on big bare metal parts like that? I'm allergic to chasing rust with a wire wheel all day long! 😃
When I saw boot repair in the title, I was going to mention Trenton and Heath. Glad I watched the entire video prior to posting. Looking forward to seeing how they turn out.
Looks great Adam! I also found potter and son / Trenton and Heath. I sent a pair of Allen Edmonds to the guys and its amazing the craftsmanship they have. You will be so happy with them..
Abom -genuine question after seeing someone compare many pentrating lubes... how does evaporust work on siezed bolts? Might be worth a quick vid maybe, comparing it to leading oils?
5:00 Magnetic blocks and internal indicator - you could just use 2 opposite each other, focus on that axis then swap the magnetic blocks to the other 2 sides and get them aligned.
I am waiting to see how you are going to get a tool and tool holder stiff enough to cut that channel without chattering. Happy Holidays to you Adam and your family.
This is exactly what I do when setting up a part that doesn't need to be super precise. If I'm accurate enough with the scribe lines, I can get with .010" of the center of the block with the dead center.
It's good to see you wearing a mask when grinding that rust. Ive seen a lot of people just stand in a huge cloud with no PPE. I don't know how they do it.
It would be interesting to see the initial contact machining of the square in slow-mo. If possible. Maybe next time❓👍🏻👍🏻 Thanks for your time to share with us ‼️ The right tools ‼️👍🏻👍🏻
Greet video as always but super cool to see the boot segment at the end, Trenton and Heath rock, looking forward to seeing them do your boots. You'll have to go see their machines, those cobbler sewing machines are strange magic devices.
An incredible amount of time and expense before even making the first chip!!!!!! Very cool square stock indicating. WOW, nice even curls off the big-boy bill drit! For those square headed bolts, you needed an adjustable impact wrench. :-)
Speaking as an European from Sweden I find it interesting about your style of "work-shoes" in the US. Fascinating how we tend to like soo completely different styles. Here in Sweden most contractors as well as industrial workers use low-cut shoes with steel toe caps in their for daily use. We only use boot styles in really bad weather or when doing jobs involved with a lot of "spatter/fire risk" like heavy fabrication work. Besides the low shoes there is also sandals and slip-on's with steel capped toes. Try to image google some of our brands if you are curious on how our stuff looks like 😉 Sievi Viper - Low cut Atlas TX 360 - Sandal style Arbesko 187 - "Slip on style" Good video Adam! Great Content as always. Keep up the good work!
That is true! But the brands are common here tho. Not saying they were from Sweden. 😎 Sievi - Finland Jalas - Also finland Atlas - Germany Arbesko - Sweden
When I see Stroker engine I think 383ci SBC (small block Chevy). I put one in a 1986 Chevy S10 back in the day before LS swap the world. Started on it at the age of 13 learning how to and working to pay for all of it myself. Had it ready to drive just before turning 16 and tuned it to run good at 16 years old. Part of what made me go down the part I did. My family were Carpenters loving them dead tree carcass. Only thing I like about wood was it looked good as the bed in my truck. Love metal
Would it be possible and practical to remove the worn areas and replace them with new metal? Its several decades since I worked in a machine shop and this kind of job is way outside my experience.
Instead of high-speed or carbide you might consider 10% Cobalt High Speed Steel. All my internal and external threading tools are 10% Cobalt and they resist wear like nothing else.
Couple of tips from a former foundryman, baseball glove lace is a good source for leather boot laces, and cheap, they're burn resistant. Also spray on pickup bedliner on the toes of work boots protect them vary well, but make sure to silicone the boot sole stitching before spraying, or the cobbler can't resole them.
I would have expected that stoker to have been protected from rust after Kieth cleaned it up. I wonder why it wasn't doused down with some of those protectants you have promoted before on the channel.
I am not a machinist, but love to watch lathe and machining work, particularly Adam. A question I have, is the impact of the corners of a square stock on the cutting tool damaging to the tool? It seems that there must be a tremendous amount of energy and force each time the corner impacts the tool. And, WOW, that drill bit has got to be getting extremely hot without lube, seeing the great amount of smoke coming out of the cutting.
Yes, you're correct, intermittent cutting is very hard on cutting tools, especially Tungsten carbide/cemented carbide, there are tougher grades that are not so hard, and larger radius also helps, Adam was using what looks like CNMG ( Rhombic 80°) in a PCKN toolholder, 75°approch, so loads of strength behind the cutting edge. ( I had a carbide insert book in my hand watching, looking to order some other inserts and toolholders). Hope this helps.
There are workarounds for insert longevity, like taking as deep cut as you can and slow the feed down not in facing so much but when turning. I managed to turn a rotary hydraulic motor rotor and housing like half inch shorter and only used 2 corners of a chinese 6 corner insert that cost a buck. That thing is hard as a coffin nail on top of the interrupted cut. (Not really interrupted in this case as I cut it so deep) The motor went back to use after hacking all the internals with some machines.
Hey! Great videos! A question from person who has used metal lathe only once at school 20 years ago: cutting tool insert has two different edges, but when do you use wide angled edge, when narrow angled edge?
Isn’t great that we live in a world where we can stand over the shoulder of an highly skilled machinist. Thank you Adam!
What do you mean... are you acrobat or gymnast... or something like that!
😂😂😂!
I’m amazed that just last week I found Trenton and Heath and started watching their shoe repair. Now my next Abom79 features these guys.
My father was a Slotter, and I remember him sitting there for hours, digging chips out of the soles of his work boots, with a penknife.
Over the years, he must've brought home a few hundredweight of steel, in the soles of his work boots.
That’s so awesome about the boots!!! I watch their channel a lot. Trent and Heath will get you done up right.

Rust. The taste you never forget.
Man! That is a big chuck of metal! Careful planning, measurement and preparation is 90% of machine work. You have done those three things. Your outcome is guaranteed.

Not being a machinist, could you also scribe lines diagonally on the face and use a dead center on your tail stock to find center?
This is exactly what I do when setting up a part that doesn't need to be super precise. If I'm accurate enough with the scribe lines, I can get with .010" of the center of the block with the dead center.
