Adam, I want to share with you that you have caught the attention of my 13yr old daughter. She's really interested in welding and now has become increasingly interested in machining. She also loves operating farm equipment now and had played around on some small excavators also. She says she wants to learn to do it all. She likes the Tig welding you did in this video. Thanks for posting these family friendly videos. You just never know who you are inspiring for the future.
Great to be able to see your welding skills with your new camera set up. Great extra content to your already well shot and edited videos. I always look forward to your Saturday uploads!!
Would be nice if on some of these projects the customer could provide you with some photo's of the end result in operation. Would be a nice finish to the vid to see how it's used on occasion. Great vid Adam!
Adam .Right at the end of the video the 2 people on your left would very proud of you and the quality of your work that you do . ' I am a machinist not a grinder' certainly is true but you're an excellent all rounder on many workshop requirements .
I never see anyone else working in this Machine Shop, so I believe Abom79 is the only Machinist but what a well equipped and well organised shop he has. A small project but never the less still interesting to watch
It's his own shop. He used to work at another shop and built this shop up during the weekends and after work. About a year or so ago he decided to go on his own full-time, depending on the revenue from Patreon, this channel, and the jobs he does at his shop.
I've been watching your videos for a long time now and it still blows me away the kind of cuts you take so casually... I get the whole 'I wanna be like Abom when I grow up' thing. I guess there's no substitute for experience to develop confidence without arrogance. Keep it up, boss.
Adam , it always amazes me how different machinists are trained to do the same job. I hope some day to run up to north Fl. & sit down with you and have a looooong talk , we do things somewhat differently because we were trained differently , I have learned a few tricks from you on lathe work ,( thank you very much ) I would love to show you a few things on a knee mill to repay that kindness ! :) Keep in mind I got my journeyman machinist book in 1977 (McDonnell aircraft AFL-CIO local 31 ) so I been at it a long time. Over the years we in the machinist trade all learn from each other as the guy that tells you " they know it all !" ----- oh boy , Stay away from him lol . My opinion is the more we get to watch others do the work the more we all learn. M/P
My O' math teacher had a phrase he called it the "Art of Mathematics; knowing many methods of get to an answer and finding the best way to get there. The understanding of functions and the ability to dance with the numbers." He would add "Everyone has there own dance and best way to get there." He really like it when I used the phrase, "I got to the answer after Massaging the numbers." Awww the good ol' days!
Looking good Adam - long time viewer and I was chasing a few of your old vids in lockdown and was curious how your fitness was going? You’ve made such good progress, we’d love to hear how it’s going for you. Stay healthy!
Thanks Adam, that's some good, neat work. I liked your setup on the mill for multiple repetitive task (in this case two), and the 45 deg angle milling for the weld. Cheers!!
It would have been nice to see a one piece no weld version of this made on the shaper. It would be a waste of time and materials, but man would the customer be shocked when that piece arrived. Great video.
Malcolm J. Leeds UK: Hi Adam. Here in the UK we are staying at home because of the Virus so I am missing not being able to visit our local railway as a volunteer in the workshop. Our Railway at Middleton Leeds was the first to use steam locos in 1812. Your videos are and have been both a help and inspiration. I hope everyone stays clear of the virus.
Just wanna say love the channel. I work in the food and beverage industry welding stainless. After we make a weld we let it cool a minute and hit the piece with a wire brush while still hot and it takes of the discoloration. looks much better. Unless you gonna paint it. Just passing on a little tip. Awesome videos thanks again.
You make such amazing videos I love how you are so real and honest on camera. Thank you also You look like you have lost so much weight you are looking good man. Keep up the hard work I know it's not easy but you are an inspiration
Hi Adam, I'm new to your channel and have probably watched dozens of your videos over the last number of weeks since subscribed. I have thoroughly enjoyed each and everyone of them so far and although I've been in the trade and Manufacturing / Production Industry for almost 50 years (qualified as a Fitter & Turner 1970 - 1974), one is never too old to still learn new tricks. I admire your skill to not only just perform your projects on your machines and equipment, but also your ability to keep your audience (at least in my case) entertained throughout your videos. I'm from South Africa and since we're currently "Locked Down" to mid April, I'll probably watch ALL your videos to pass the time as I just love the conventional equipment and methods. Well done and keep up the good work and I can't wait for the next project ... !! PS. Just loved the comment on the chamfers : - "I'm a Machinist, not a Grinder" !!
Re: the welding critique; Good enough, satisfactory, sufficient, acceptable, suitable, reasonable, agreeable, adequate, usable, all right; these words do not necessarily mean compromise in any endeavor, just a point at which nothing further of substance will be gained by additional effort. Don't let perfection be the enemy of good enough.☺
Hey Adam, when you said you where going to do the weld prep bevels., I thought grinding, then I saw the 45 degree mill and it was a no brainer. Loved your comment about being a machinist first.
Hi it’s stacie! Great job Adam! You have to remember that you do such great work and everything won’t be pretty all the time! Take care and Hi to Abby!
Hey! That's a good idea for a t-shirt you had, Adam.... "I'm a machinist, not a grinder you fool!" LOL. Keep yourself safe, best wishes from a quarantined Argentina.
That first cut...LOL: Keith Rucker "Well, I'm going to take a pretty hefty cut here of 50 thou", ABOM "Uncle Keith, Hold my beer, 250 Thou coming right up"...LOL
Your skills continue to impress me. I learn something every time I watch one of your videos. If I may make a suggestion without being a dick. I would have left just enough on the overall length on the welded end to clean up both pieces after the weld on the grooved end to really make it look like one piece. Take it for what it worth but I will still be watching.
Two new Abom Quotes for the day "I'm a machinist, not a grinder." and "I'm a machinist first, a welder later." Gold!

Adam, for sure, you're a machinist and a good welder but overall, you're a perfectionnist, it is the most important quality for a machinist.
adam thanks for putting the extra videos on during this week, we like yourselves are in lockdown in the uk trying to avoid CV. thanks again.
Do you have something special lined up for SNS 300 ?
A huge milestone...so proud of you!
That was the best camera work I've ever seen for welding. I'm pretty bad at TIG, and I feel like I've learned a lot watching that.
Awesome! 👍🏻
19:36 "I'm a machinist, not a grinder" -> love it!!!
Oh, man. It's so satisfying to watch that face end mill eat through those bars seemingly effortless.
Great to be able to see your welding skills with your new camera set up. Great extra content to your already well shot and edited videos. I always look forward to your Saturday uploads!!

In these uncertain times watching SNS has become part of my life, thank you for making these!
Nice to see some simple but enjoyable machining. Thanks for sharing
The welding footage is very nice. The exposure in those shots is excellent! Better than some of the dedicated welding channels
Nice one. Thanks for taking us along. I'm always amazed when I see steel treated like butter by those big mills.
Thank you, Adam, for emphasizing machining. It's in your DNA and it shows!
Some great tig welding shots.
I enjoy learning and watching you work. thanks for sharing
Great work Adam. Looks great and nice Tig weld. Thank you for sharing.
welding is 10% technique 90% practice good job.
Very nice. A coat or two of that cold bluing solution would look cool too.
Love the way the K&T powered that face mill over those bars like it was cutting butter. 👍
I never see anyone else working in this Machine Shop, so I believe Abom79 is the only Machinist but what a well equipped and well organised shop he has. A small project but never the less still interesting to watch
It's his own shop. He used to work at another shop and built this shop up during the weekends and after work. About a year or so ago he decided to go on his own full-time, depending on the revenue from Patreon, this channel, and the jobs he does at his shop.
Plus, his Dad and Granddad owned a machine shop and he got most of the tooling and some of the machines like the Monarch and DoAll mill.
It’s his shop in the garage behind his house.
I've been watching your videos for a long time now and it still blows me away the kind of cuts you take so casually... I get the whole 'I wanna be like Abom when I grow up' thing. I guess there's no substitute for experience to develop confidence without arrogance. Keep it up, boss.
The "corncob" roughing end mills are amazing. I do a lot of stainless and they have extended the life of my regular end mills greatly. Great work Adam

I like your steady hands when welding. Nice Job.
Great footage of the welding Adam! It was a pleasure to watch!
Really appreciate those great tig shots....👍
It's a joy to watch you work. The definition of workmanship and mastery are in your method.
I noticed you chose to just make regular round holes instead of the oddly shaped holes shown in the sketch. 😁
Good 👁!
Atle Olav Dahl that is what I noticed as well! On the drawing they looked oval shaped
The trick would be to make EXACTLY what the customer drew, haha. It would take a week and cost $1000 and the customer would be like...wtf
Great welding shots, Adam! Jody would be proud.
Looking good Adam - long time viewer and I was chasing a few of your old vids in lockdown and was curious how your fitness was going? You’ve made such good progress, we’d love to hear how it’s going for you. Stay healthy!
You are a very good welder for a machinist, Adam 👍
like the new lens view for welding. great job. thanks
I have never seen a shell mill cut so smoothly. Wow that is a true cutter
Enjoyed the show. Camera clarity is pretty awesome
Great welding shots Adam. A lot better then just watching a boring bright light from the distance.
I've always liked machined weld prep over ground keep up the good work
"Because I'm a machinist." Damn straight :)
Thanks Adam, that's some good, neat work. I liked your setup on the mill for multiple repetitive task (in this case two), and the 45 deg angle milling for the weld. Cheers!!
That's still some mighty fine welding.....An mighty fine everything work...Thanks..!
They both look great Adam. Dont knonck your own work. Keep these videos coming brother. Stay safe during these rough times.
I love seeing sharp tooling cut thru steel like it is wood !!!!!
It would have been nice to see a one piece no weld version of this made on the shaper. It would be a waste of time and materials, but man would the customer be shocked when that piece arrived. Great video.
Our company makes machine parts, please contact me yedda@yaomingjixie.com
Making that square hole in the end would be a little tough.
Your welding is as good as any, don't kid yourself!
Nice job Adam. Like the use of vise stops for drilling and milling.
Thank you for the Tig demo, you always do a great presentation for your audience. A professional at work
Just beautiful welding! Nice work!
Welder and paint makes me the grinder I ain't.
Hi ABOM79. I love your videos, you are as good at welding as at milling. well done
The best view of the welding process I have ever seen. Excellent work.
I love the variety of different projects, nice job

Great job. Love that you used a darkening lens while welding. Much easier to appreciate and learn what's going on.
You have really got the welding shots clear and informative. Thanks for keeping me entertained at this boring time.
Another nice job Adam. I love your attention to detail and accuracy. My favorite machinist channel on RUclips.
The filter/camera settings for those welding shots looks great!
Looks like they turned out good.
Can't wait to see you work on Keith motor that you got in the back of the video especially on that shaper
You make such amazing videos I love how you are so real and honest on camera. Thank you also You look like you have lost so much weight you are looking good man. Keep up the hard work I know it's not easy but you are an inspiration
Would love to see a video of them in use. Always fun to watch a master at work!
Excellent work from start to finish. Keep up the great video's
Those welding shots were awesome. Thanks for your video.
So precise and very efficient with the table. Lovely stuff.
Shaper Shaper Shaper, LOL, I cant wait to see both running
Wow, great TIG shots!! :-)
Adam, your attention to detail reminds me of my dad, he was a finish carpenter, sure do miss him.
Not that much more effort to do it right.
I love that he held the TIG wand (sewing Aragon) until the weld cooled down. Ron W4BIN

as they say, "ain't it the tooth?" true. true.
Nice welding shots!
Question, what makes you decide when to use coolant or not? Cutting oil or not? Thanks for all your videos. I have learned a lot from you and others.
the facemill he uses in the start, he dont use coolant on because the inserts can break if they cool down too quickly
Hope you and your bride are healthy.
Aw man Ive been waiting for some more TIG on the channel!! Cant wait to watch tonight
Thank you Adam I always enjoy watching and learning from your videos I am from South Africa
nice shots on the TIG welding. I've never seen an actual TIG weld that clearly
Machinist first, welder second, Perfectionist Always. Thanks for another great video. You and Abbie stay safe
Always fun to see some welding!
Adam, Cool video, liked the content, thanks for sharing your video.!.!.!.
Great welding footage. "Laying them coins"...............
Hi it’s stacie! Great job Adam! You have to remember that you do such great work and everything won’t be pretty all the time! Take care and Hi to Abby!
Great video I like that Machinist first ,a lot like my self Joiner first but like you i can weld, thanks i am in lock down in the UK,Thanks
I like the way you think 4 or 5 steps ahead to make sure thing are right. Beautiful work Adam
The welding footage is top notch! Great work!
Keep Home Keep safe keep making youtube, the telly in the uk is crap need you m8
Enjoyed this video, thanks for making time to do it!!
Hey! That's a good idea for a t-shirt you had, Adam.... "I'm a machinist, not a grinder you fool!" LOL. Keep yourself safe, best wishes from a quarantined Argentina.
salut et fraternité, merci pour tes vidéos , beau travail. attention protèges toi bien ainsi que ta famille. et à bientôt
That first cut...LOL: Keith Rucker "Well, I'm going to take a pretty hefty cut here of 50 thou", ABOM "Uncle Keith, Hold my beer, 250 Thou coming right up"...LOL
Beautiful TIG welding, well done!
Wish I had a camera that could weld that good...... Lol.. 😜
Keep up the great content Abom.
The greatest machinest and not that bad at tiging Nice work !
@23:20 you got those camera settings dialed in man. Looks good
Great job Adam , ENJOYED !!
Abom stacking dimes, don’t see that everyday. Who knew. Lol
Your skills continue to impress me. I learn something every time I watch one of your videos. If I may make a suggestion without being a dick.

Great project and very interesting work Adam. Thanks for sharing I love to see these small projects.. keep up the great work👍
