Best of luck at the new location. I’d love to see you take on an apprentice and pass your knowledge down to the next generation. My dad was a machinist and I curse myself for not paying more attention to him and his craft
While he definitely could do that, I think him constantly uploading RUclips videos with him sharing his knowledge to thousands of people is a much better way for him to share his wisdom. I know I've learned a lot from it.
2 BRAND NEW MACHINES! I AM JEALOUS! I retired and found an Acer 3 VK Knee mill and a Precision Mathews 12x 36 Lathe. Both used BUT well cared for. My stuff will strictly be personal projects and friends and family stuff. Great to watch a guy that knows exactly what he wants go out and get it. Keep it up Adam!
We have a rule for our overhead doors; "all the way open or all the way closed." If we want a door partially open for air or light a sawhorse is placed. We learned about this rule the hard way of course!
I used to live 5 minutes from KBC, now about 25 minutes. I love walking through the machinery showroom mouth agape and dreaming. I get all my tooling and expendables from them. Great place with good prices.
I think your Father and Grandfather are looking down from Heaven, filled with joy for the good use you are making of the skills and passion they lovingly taught you . Way to go Adam.
Just a 2 cents advise ….by learning from changing like 4 times garages doors……it’s full open to it fully closed !!!! I saw lift truck (my own employee ) truck backing up on the door …..
In a machine shop always install four gang boxes everywhere. You'll be glad you did in the future. Never heard a machinist say "I have too many outlets." I'd be afraid with a new shop and new machines like that I may have died and gone to heaven. Count your blessings.
Definitely save all those 2x4's a year ago that pile was $100.00 worth of lumber. Congratulations on the new KBC, 5hp is a nice size. And the Cat 40 spindle says we aren't fooling around. The new shop is coming along very nicely.
Adam, I do woodworking. I thought, "I would have just taken my 8 lb hammer and pounded it apart." And seconds later that is what you did. I also recycle all my pallet wood. Run it through a planer and the rough-cut pallet lumber becomes good boards for many uses.
Looks really good Adam, glad you had your helper today, she runs things around there and did a fine job lifting the milling machine in place just where you wanted it. Thanks for sharing with us, stay safe and keep up the good work and videos. Fred.
I looked at KBC's catalog for that mill. Priced at $35K before shipping and tax. Wonderful item to behold Adam. Can't wait to see it making chips. YES, save those 2x4s. Their worth their weight in gold : ).
I guess I wasn't the only one who was glad you put the saw down while uncrating the mill. Fernando thanks you, too! A lot of money there in 2x4s. What a great looking mill; I bet you are anxious to get it running. Looking forward to it myself! You have a great crane operator there, Greg.
Great thing that you try to safe the lumber for any future crates for your own jobs . Don’t waste any materials of any matter. All cost money , and a little at it times adds up .
Good call on the Lumber. Lumber is at a premium to right now. That pallet has got some very good Lumber in it too. I like the way they got chip covers right from the factory. Way guard. Beautiful machine.
I really like the fact you’re embracing new machines! Looking forward to what you can create with them! I’ve watched you for a few years and have enjoyed you fixing up old machines and it’s now a really cool balance. Onwards and upwards!
Your living the dream Adam, as far as I’m concerned. Very happy for you. I can remember when I first started watching your channel. Sometimes you seemed very tired but you worked through it. Well done! Love your new shop and the new machines.
Congratulations on the new equipment, Adam. I can tell you're excited to use it and happy to finally have new machines that haven't been run by anybody. And it's pretty cool seeing how excited Abbey is for you. I can't wait to see the first chips come off both machines!
Abby and Adam (030). Abby loves Adam, his machinist quirks, and his machines. I so enjoy seeing Abby's enthusiasm. It makes me just feel good to see this.
you got the big brother of my KBC mill. Mine is the 3hp with the R8 collet spindle. Congrats! I put a 6 inch extension on it since i'm 6'3" . it's easier on my back to run plus i got 6 inch more clearance between the table and spindle.
Love seeing the new machines! I love all the old machines but as someone who eventually wants to get into some hobby machining seeing the new machines helps me plan out what I want. Obviously not to the same extent as this but it helps! Great video!!
So happy to hear you say you are having that wood salvaged by someone, with the price of lumber these days. Congrats on the new machine, thanks for sharing!
So happy for you guys! My god do you hold yourself to such a high standard. I’ve noticed you spend so much time explaining yourself and over justify everything you do. I just wanted to remind you that we all follow you because we think you’re spectacular!! Try to focus a tiny bit less on what someone might say about why your doing something and just do it. Let your expertise lead you. Look at aVe’s videos. You’re so awesome and I think you deserve better than explaining yourself constantly. Just do and share why.
Exciting times Adam. Congratulations on your new KBC MILL. I see a new fabricated steel table like the one in the home shop coming to your new shop... going to need it.
Love the appreciation you show for your new acquisitions! And a big thumbs up to the new crane operator!!! Fantastic content. Looking forward to the the when the chips are a flying.
I remember the thrill of getting a brand new Haas Mini-Mill in our shop some 11 or 12 years ago, with a brand new Kurt vise. It's not looking so new any more... I learned to program a CNC on that machine, and I admit I made a few mistakes, put a few marks in the vise, and ruined a couple of tool holders. But hey, I had been doing manual machining for over 30 years at that point, and had to learn not only CAD but also CNC programming at basically the same time. I think I did pretty good. And I'm certainly not the only person to have used that machine, and not the only one to put some marks on it.
Forklift drivers are truly unsung heroes. I've worked with the union guys at Mascone Center in SF and they could move millions of dollars of electrical equipment and place them down so accurately you'd need a micron tool to measure how far off they were. And they handled that equipment like it was made of feathers. Truly amazing as to what forklift drivers can do.
I would leave the rear way guard alone... am in the glass industry, but we keep those types of guards on machines crooked on purpose. It tends to shed debris and coolant better when it is offset some. When they are straight and level, it usually creates folds when moving up and down that catch debris and coolant is more difficult to control.
I held my breath for a second as he drove that forklift into the building. I have a rule that doors are either 100% open or 100% closed (or maybe just cracked for airflow). I've seen too many partly open doors hit by things on forklifts.
Good looking machine. Going to be a different experience using stuff that hasn’t had years of wear. So excited you are getting to do this and put together that awesome shop! I am getting so slammed with work I may have to quit doing videos.
congrats Adam, this is awesome. Very happy for you, I would love a mill but I only have a garage with low power haha. Hard work and dedication pay off. Well deserved, sir!
Congratulations on everything! On my vertical mills, I have mounting feet from Unisorb. They have a kit for mills with a hollow base that comes with the feet, a plate to span the hollow, and the adjustment bolt. I am very happy with these mounting feet.
It's cool to see some modern machines getting some love. There's nothing wrong with vintage lathes and milling machines, but at some point, the cost to maintain them becomes prohibitive.
Now the little stuff is out of the way time to land a VTL and HBM. Lances K & T is a beast too but for repair work the VTL & HBM will be the most versatile pieces of equipment you can get for your size shop.
Hey Adam best of luck with the new milling machine it’s only the second new one I have ever seen ? You might wanna talk to your electrician about running a dedicated 20 amp circuit just for the milling machine accessories and a surge protector to protect the D.R.O from getting zapped in a storm
Very happy for you and Abby to see your new Shop starting to take shape with the new Machines rolling in. Can’t wait to see the Mill and especially the PM Lathe making some Chips. That’s the exact Lathe I plan on buying. Great Video Adam!
Good for you, Adam! New tool day is always fun. Hopefully in a few years when I retire, I can get some of the old machines that 'Old' machinists like you are done with.
Best of luck at the new location. I’d love to see you take on an apprentice and pass your knowledge down to the next generation. My dad was a machinist and I curse myself for not paying more attention to him and his craft
While he definitely could do that, I think him constantly uploading RUclips videos with him sharing his knowledge to thousands of people is a much better way for him to share his wisdom. I know I've learned a lot from it.
Shoot, I'd apply to be the apprentice
2 BRAND NEW MACHINES! I AM JEALOUS! I retired and found an Acer 3 VK Knee mill and a Precision Mathews 12x 36 Lathe. Both used BUT well cared for. My stuff will strictly be personal projects and friends and family stuff. Great to watch a guy that knows exactly what he wants go out and get it. Keep it up Adam!
I love the smile on this mans face, when a new machine shows up.
The shop is really coming together!!! Super excited for the future for you, Abby and the shop! Your dad and grandfather would be very proud!
We have a rule for our overhead doors; "all the way open or all the way closed."
If we want a door partially open for air or light a sawhorse is placed.
We learned about this rule the hard way of course!
Congratulations on another new machine Adam. Uneventful is Exactly how you want any machine moving experience to be!
Phil
Best part of the video is your smile on the end. God Bless you Adam.
Nothing beats the feeling of walking towards that new machine still in the crate in your building. Congrats on all the cool new machines Adam and Abby
The respect he has for his machinery in my opinion shows that you're going to get a quality product from him.
I used to live 5 minutes from KBC, now about 25 minutes. I love walking through the machinery showroom mouth agape and dreaming. I get all my tooling and expendables from them. Great place with good prices.
I love seeing you and Abbey getting along so well and doing these things, its so wholesome.
I think your Father and Grandfather are looking down from Heaven, filled with joy for the good use you are making of the skills and passion they lovingly taught you . Way to go Adam.
Just a 2 cents advise ….by learning from changing like 4 times garages doors……it’s full open to it fully closed !!!! I saw lift truck (my own employee ) truck backing up on the door …..
The truth - ALWAYS ALL THE WAY OPEN. - ALWAYS
I was going to say the same thing. Open or shut, not half way.
I have seen it happen several times
Nice new machine that haven't had a bunch a mishaps happen on it
Wow, youtube really pays well! I'm very happy for you.
Glad to hear all those nice 2X4's are going to be reused. Congrats on the new equipment. New shop is really coming along.
I don't know who more excided about this me or Adam. I an old man now and really happy to se a young man coming up it the world.
I'm glad to see the business runs strong for you Adam. You and Abby look really happy, that's awsome.
In my workshop, I built my shelves from 100% used lumber, and they're holding up well.
In a machine shop always install four gang boxes everywhere. You'll be glad you did in the future. Never heard a machinist say "I have too many outlets."
I'd be afraid with a new shop and new machines like that I may have died and gone to heaven. Count your blessings.
Man the new shop is coming real nice very excited for the future.
Best of luck ❤
Two thumbs up for our modern industrialized society! BTW, that's the nicest pallet wood I've ever seen.
Definitely save all those 2x4's a year ago that pile was $100.00 worth of lumber. Congratulations on the new KBC, 5hp is a nice size. And the Cat 40 spindle says we aren't fooling around. The new shop is coming along very nicely.
More than that
Joe is one heck of an operator. Came in, knew what needed to be done to get the load moved safely and just knocked it out.
Its so dope we get to "be there" for these events! Great cam work Angelfish!
Adam, I do woodworking. I thought, "I would have just taken my 8 lb hammer and pounded it apart." And seconds later that is what you did. I also recycle all my pallet wood. Run it through a planer and the rough-cut pallet lumber becomes good boards for many uses.
Looks really good Adam, glad you had your helper today, she runs things around there and did a fine job lifting the milling machine in place just where you wanted it. Thanks for sharing with us, stay safe and keep up the good work and videos. Fred.
"...with the manual machines..." Nice foreshadowing of things to come! new shop is shaping up nice, congrats. can't wait to see whats next
Yep, still holding to my theory the tape on the floor across from the Pacemaker is for a CNC.
I bought a forklift that you just walk behind. Similar to a pallet truck, but it lifts up to 160cm. Its the best thing I ever bought for the workshop!
So great to see Abbey is so supportive of your work.
I looked at KBC's catalog for that mill. Priced at $35K before shipping and tax. Wonderful item to behold Adam. Can't wait to see it making chips. YES, save those 2x4s. Their worth their weight in gold : ).
I see it listed as about $14K. Not sure what you saw.
The link he posted was ~$14k.
I guess I wasn't the only one who was glad you put the saw down while uncrating the mill. Fernando thanks you, too! A lot of money there in 2x4s. What a great looking mill; I bet you are anxious to get it running. Looking forward to it myself! You have a great crane operator there, Greg.
I was thinking the same thing, don't cut them Adam, save them ! 😱
Great thing that you try to safe the lumber for any future crates for your own jobs .
Don’t waste any materials of any matter.
All cost money , and a little at it times adds up .
The new shop is coming along great. Love the equipment you have already there.
You and Abby are so good together.
Love watching your shows.
Good call on the Lumber. Lumber is at a premium to right now. That pallet has got some very good Lumber in it too. I like the way they got chip covers right from the factory. Way guard. Beautiful machine.
Man, that crating job was great 👍! And your demo was AWESOME ! Thank you
I really like the fact you’re embracing new machines! Looking forward to what you can create with them! I’ve watched you for a few years and have enjoyed you fixing up old machines and it’s now a really cool balance. Onwards and upwards!
Your living the dream Adam, as far as I’m concerned. Very happy for you. I can remember when I first started watching your channel. Sometimes you seemed very tired but you worked through it. Well done! Love your new shop and the new machines.
Love the new video series. Looking forward to seeing chips from the new tools. You are a national treasure! I hope google is treating you right!
Congratulations on the new equipment, Adam. I can tell you're excited to use it and happy to finally have new machines that haven't been run by anybody. And it's pretty cool seeing how excited Abbey is for you. I can't wait to see the first chips come off both machines!

I am so happy for you two. You are making steady progress.
Love seeing the new machines! I love all the old machines but as someone who eventually wants to get into some hobby machining seeing the new machines helps me plan out what I want. Obviously not to the same extent as this but it helps! Great video!!
Congratulations! These are big steps taken in rapid succession!
So happy to hear you say you are having that wood salvaged by someone, with the price of lumber these days. Congrats on the new machine, thanks for sharing!
You will love that Newall DRO. I used one at Kellogg before my retirement, it made using a mill real easy.
He already knows. Did you listen to the video?
So happy for you guys! My god do you hold yourself to such a high standard. I’ve noticed you spend so much time explaining yourself and over justify everything you do. I just wanted to remind you that we all follow you because we think you’re spectacular!! Try to focus a tiny bit less on what someone might say about why your doing something and just do it. Let your expertise lead you. Look at aVe’s videos. You’re so awesome and I think you deserve better than explaining yourself constantly. Just do and share why.
Just get a cnc and get with the times.
@@tomkeating65 Adam is a machinist, not a button pusher.
I had a flash back to a Brian Bloc moment. But you gently rested it in place. Stressful for all of us.
LOL !!! Abby doesn't drop test stuff :)
New shop is coming together nicely Adam congrats to you and your wife!
Glad to see your getting the machines you need to do your excellent work with🤩
These mills never cease to remind me of photo enlargers, those used to print from negatives. I wish my enlargers were as precise as this mill!
Exciting times Adam. Congratulations on your new KBC MILL. I see a new fabricated steel table like the one in the home shop coming to your new shop... going to need it.
Congrats, looks like you've planned an efficient workspace for those new machines. Can't wait to see them in action.
Love the appreciation you show for your new acquisitions! And a big thumbs up to the new crane operator!!! Fantastic content. Looking forward to the the when the chips are a flying.

And I'm certainly not the only person to have used that machine, and not the only one to put some marks on it.
Oh, man. Am I ever envious. Congratulations, Adam.
I can see that roller door being taken out. All the way up or down I learned the hard way twice .
Congratulations on the mill. Looks nice. Can't wait to see all this equipment making some chips.

Interesting, I never thought of that
Congratulations Adam! Nice looking machine👍
This is awesome! Your new machine days feel like Christmas to me! Can't wait to see the first chips!
Best wishes for many healthy and productive years with your new mill!
Congrats with the new machine!
Nice, comes with bonus $1,000 in 2x4s.
🤣🤣🤣
The pallet is the same value as the DRO.
Nice looking machine! I just ordered a new HAAS TM-1P. They told me 30 to 35 weeks lead time! Machine Tools are HOT right now.
You have the best helper in the world.
Glad to see you getting new machines, I hope you bring you awesome shaper into that shop .
I really enjoy watching the new shop taking shape and coming to life.
Wow, nice stuff. Got to be thrilled with brand new equipment!!!
I held my breath for a second as he drove that forklift into the building. I have a rule that doors are either 100% open or 100% closed (or maybe just cracked for airflow). I've seen too many partly open doors hit by things on forklifts.
So you've been to my work and seen ours? Lol. The Staples delivery guy smashed ours on nice Friday. I'm like thanks bud for the extra paperwork today.
Love new machine day! Hope KBC gave you a good deal. You’ve been promoting KBC for years. Peace.
Shop looks great. Nice milling machine. Thank you for sharing.
It's always nice getting new equipment!!!
I am happy for you! It is a very nice machine. Good to see you smiling!
Nice new machine - good to see Abby helping out too. She's a keeper.
It must be extremely rewarding having this YT channel.
Good luck with the new machine
Good looking machine. Going to be a different experience using stuff that hasn’t had years of wear. So excited you are getting to do this and put together that awesome shop! I am getting so slammed with work I may have to quit doing videos.
congrats Adam, this is awesome. Very happy for you, I would love a mill but I only have a garage with low power haha. Hard work and dedication pay off. Well deserved, sir!

great job Adom, good luck-----------thanks for the vid, and you got a cute crane operator.
The new shop is really coming together, man... awesome!!
The adventure comming up to speed! Best of luck. Keep Amy, she is better than a prize.
Who?
Its abby lol
Awesome, been looking forward to this since you been showing stuff on Instagram, many thanks abom
So happy for you Adam and what an awesome new machine,CAN'T wait to see it working🤩....You are the man with a BIG SMILE😁👀
Thank's very much...👍👍
Abbey really loves to help. So great to see. Lovely couple.
Man I cant wait to see the new shop on the land you purchased. Dad and Grandad have to be smiling from ear to ear!!!
Cheers to BMS 4.0!? I think….
But where's the next generation ?
Now the little stuff is out of the way time to land a VTL and HBM. Lances K & T is a beast too but for repair work the VTL & HBM will be the most versatile pieces of equipment you can get for your size shop.
It's great seeing another new machine. Can't wait to see you make some chips in the new shop.
New Shop certainly does deserve new machines ! Nice Work !
Hey Adam best of luck with the new milling machine it’s only the second new one I have ever seen ? You might wanna talk to your electrician about running a dedicated 20 amp circuit just for the milling machine accessories and a surge protector to protect the D.R.O from getting zapped in a storm
Can always use another receptacle (or 2!). Like a work light, hmmm?
Very happy for you and Abby to see your new Shop starting to take shape with the new Machines rolling in. Can’t wait to see the Mill and especially the PM Lathe making some Chips. That’s the exact Lathe I plan on buying. Great Video Adam!
Time to enjoy the spoils of your labor. New is always nice.
Good for you, Adam! New tool day is always fun. Hopefully in a few years when I retire, I can get some of the old machines that 'Old' machinists like you are done with.
Congratulations on the new mill Adam. I have a similar 40 taper 5hp mill from Manford and I love it.
Good luck with the new machine, happy machining.....
Thanks for sharing! Sweet machines
Loving being part of your journey with the new shop
