You can tell that this man is an absolute perfectionist 👍
I love watching a real pro work. This video is packed with markers that indicate that someone's a pro, no matter the discipline.
- Make interpersonal connections, and use them
- Work safe and smart
- Plan
- Maintains the tools and work areas as they go
- Exercises patience, and doesn't rush (re: work safe/smart)
- Measures twice cuts once
- Appreciates the good work of others, as well as their own
- Shares their expertise to build up others in the community
Adam, do me a favour mate. Please don't ever phase out the piece of music you used in this video and many others you have made. I adore it. It is synonymous with your videos. Thanks bro :).
Me, too!! It is the absolute best!
I had found it. It's "Uyard" by DEM in their "Pluto" album.
Yep you're right buddy, thanks for that. The thing is, I still don't want to listen to it without it being connected to Adam's videos. I find Adam's machining really relaxing to watch, and when connected to that piece of music, its a double whammy of utopia :D. Thanks again for finding it though.
Thanks for the shoutout, buddy! I'm so glad the machining was clean and easy- the casting looked great when I pulled it out of the box. And you're right- it looks like it belonged there all the time! ----Aaron
Thanks Aaron, it was a nice clean casting!
That Knipex plier is such an amazing tool! I use it every day at work. Quality.
These are getting better and better. I did not think that was possible. But now you are giving a wonderful class in machining.
I miss this work and these older videos
30:00 Despite the "few thou" loose fit of the wheel on the shaft it was still so close that the tiny divot raised by the punch was enough to interfere with the removal. Niiiiiice work. :)
Adam, excellent video. You showed all the content we love. Tools, How to use them, and cutting metal!
I am so glad you got a hand wheel for your press. Awesome that it is new and you were able to take us through the modification process. Thanks, Adam!
"nice little chamfer on there". You're the Bob Ross of machine art!
You need to add one more step. You need to make a plug (cover) for the wheel center to hide the big hole in the wheel.
I enjoy working with my wood lathe but watching you and the precision and the tolerance that you work with
Is amazing.
I work alone and spend a waste a lot of time looking for tools I used and didn’t but away and cleaning up the mess I made before I can start a new job. THAT WAS BEFORE I watched your post on being a better employee, I am trying to use it in my shop and what a difference it has made.
Thank you for taking time to remind us to be a better person on the job or in house or shop.
Awesome Adam... Thanks for letting us hang out and watch..
Thats a nice press! Now it just needs a polished cap with the Abom logo for the center hole the wheel!
"We're going to put a nice little chamfer on there" The Bob Ross of machining! Love it man!
Best pliers ever! you can bend a penny in half then squeeze it flat again with the 6" set
the accuracy achieved by this man is stunning and truly a privilege to witness. way beyond what I ever have done
I did similar jobs during 37 years on the job. I don’t know why I enjoy watching you machine these projects.
The combination of smooth and cast surfaces on that piece look really good.
The press is beautiful! You should make a little domed hub cap to cover the hole in the hand wheel and really dress it up. :-)
It's always a pleasure learning from watching you work.
Certainly true in my estimation. Adam is the best.
It was great to see the different camera perspectives when you were drilling the hole on the lathe. Also I could hear the stone taking off the dings on the drill bit.
It is amazing you have a tool to do this, and a tool to extend that. . .It may have taken you a lifetime of doing it, but you make it look so effortless....Keep up the good work !
As always a pleasure to watch you work, I learn a little more each video.
Make a cap for that wheel that says 'Abom79' on it. Great work as usual, Adam.
Dude your videos are so on point. Seems like you read my mind on a lot of the things you do. I know there's 1000 ways to do things, but the stuff you decide on is exactly how I would do it. It's really cool.
Love your work man. True pro machinist. Learning a lot. Thanks for taking the time to teach us the skills that have taken you a lifetime to learn.
There is nothing so satisfying as lathe work. Been over 20 years since I've had a call to do some.
Those knipex pliers wrenches are awesome. They've almost completely replaced crescent wrenches for me.
As others have mentioned, those Knipex 'pliers wrench' tools are very useful & handy. They're forged, have smooth jaws, and their well engineered 'rack & pinion' like parallel jaw design allows significant mechanical advantage. They're a bit pricy, but nearly indestructible. If only after one pair, I'd suggest the 10" version (86 03 250). Recently they've additionally released them in black oxide finish... which I'm sure works well... however I've have a pair of the chrome ones over 20 years old now (that with minimal care) have no rust. Knipex now makes the things in numerous sizes, and even a bent handle version. Amazon has them all as do many other places; or even used on eBay.
Watching you doing this 'simpler' job and still recognize: You are a maestro!
Thanks for sharing your knowledge. I learn so much from watching your videos. I was fortunate when I was growing up to have a fair sized handful of different tradesmen take an interest in my future, (I was a bit of a 'wild' child, so a portion of their purpose was to straighten me up!), and teach me their trade(s).
I was taught carpentry, plumbing, electrical, layout and printing, sign painting and a few other trades. Fifty years later I STILL thank them. Watching you reminds me of their giving of their time, and knowledge.
I envy your future children, introduce them to your trade, but don't push; show them how you fix their toys, and other household items.
Nuture their interest, keep your calm and patient manner of explanation, and you will raise some talented, self reliant individuals. If they never earn a cent using the knowledge, it will be a solid foundation for their future.
Most likely, they'll end up neuro-surgeons, engineers or invent a new trade, completely.
Your use of the transfer punch reminded me of something I picked up from a RUclips vid a few years ago; something the video producer didn't even mention in the vid.
In the background of the electronics related video, was an open 64 bit drill index, showing the drills. I noticed every other bit was upside down.
This reminded me of something I did with my sockets in my mechanic's tool chest about 10 years ago. I wrapped some bright yellow tape around the x/64 th & odd number metric sockets, to make selecting them with my aging eyes.
I thought about it, for a few minutes, and realized that would making selecting, (and putting away), drills much easier, as well. I flipped the drills in one of my index boxes, and test drove the theory.
Within a month, every time I used anything in an index, I flipped the appropriate tools over, in opposition to the rest. A short time later, I took it one step further, and took a paint pen to the butt ends. That makes it even easier.
In the case of the transfer punches, the paint gets marred up, but it's not like transfer punches get a lot of hammer impacts; in 4-5 years, I may have to touch some up.
As you get older, you may well feel the urgency of time; it certainly goes by faster as we age. It's these sorts of time saving actions which helps a person accomplish more, in a shorter amount of time.
If you find yourself digging through something disorganized, looking for what is needed, switch your approach, and dedicate a few minutes every day, or so, and sort the stuff, container them, and label. In a week or two, you no longer waste precious time digging through a box, or bucket. You WILL thank yourself, profusely.
Hope my sharing brings as much to you, as your videos give me.
Thanks for sharing, and the work it takes to produce the vids.

Oh, BTW, matching paint? That's for the average guy; go for contrast, or something bright. Personally, I like florescents! LOL
True art is best shown through precision work. The man is a true artist
I love seeing the difference between your industrial tools and the hobby machinists using smaller machinery...
Someone like Blondihacks or Tony would have to use a dozen drill bits to go to that width, but you just take giant bits and do it in two...
Love your videos on a Saturday evening👍
Paint the spokes and centre section black Adam, then polish the rim. Finger grease will attack the iron so a wipe with a light oil is good. Somebody said a sort of hubcap thing would be good. Just a top hat shaped job with a counterbored cap head.
Great work😎 that's a seriously useful press🤘
Glad you put your Pap and Grandpap's photo back at the end of the video!
15 year heavy equipment mechanic so I appreciate quality and attention to detail. Wish I had your tools and experience
Love the show abom. I like the trade in skills economy. Helping out your friends while they help you out is s lot cheaper and nicer than coughing up cash constantly. When your as skilled as you are of course, your worth is high and greatly sought after.
Hey Adam, another Adam here. We have a really old Bickford at work thats been sitting outside. Seeing it wasting away is just a waste and I'm trying to get my company to let me rebuild it. Love your videos.
That was a pleasant little project. I'm not trying to be a smartass, it was just a relatively simple project that was a pleasant to watch.
Thanks, and hello to the Booth trio at the end.
Man I learn so much from Abom. Thanks for sharing you skills man.
That 1 5/16" drill was awesome to watch.
That’s the nicest, most well aligned casting I’ve ever seen. The runout was barely noticeable from the first shot on the 3 jaw. Up close....well...it’s a casting!
Thank you for your videos. I'm a self taught hack. LOL .So it's good to see a machinist doing the processes I usually do. I've never seen any proper machining live. Just what I read in books and figured out myself.
Excellent job!
2 Things I wouldn't have Done (just me):
1) Not bored the center hole all the way through.
2) Not machined the OD of the boss. I think the casting texture gave it a natural surface.
I would machine a Name plate with your initials or Drakes Logo, sort of a Wheel Hub..
This is one of those jobs where you get a reminder of how much care you put into it, each time you turn that wheel in the future.
love his references to tools owned by his father and grandfather
I don’t know anything about machining but love watching your videos
Knipex, big name here in Eurup.
I never get tired of watching these videos..! A very small suggestion about painting that handwheel...or other close fitting bores/shafts...put a bit of grease in/on there...clean up is just a wipe away.
Great project Adam, thanks.
I would have tapped the setscrew offset 45 degrees so easier to tighten screw between the wheel's spokes.
Really loved that! Somebody else suggested a hub cap for that wheel, and I think it would be super cool to make a brass one and have John of NYC CNC engrave your logo on it!
John of NYC CNC really did a great job with the logo on the Parking Attachment.
Watching you with interest, from an old hand retired toolmaker
Great tip with the spring centre to make the hand tap go it straight :)
yes! Ima looking for one right now
Yeah, that looks like a convenient piece of equipment, never though about doing hand tapping that way, makes for a straighter threading
Always nice to watch your videos Adam. For me, you fit in the middle of my routine......Bonanza, Abom, and Andy Griffith show. Makes a great day. Thanks !
Our machine shop teacher in the mid to late '70s taught us to use a cigarette paper to touch off a bit/cutter etc. Thinner than normal paper and everybody had them... ;)
Since the same paper was used on both sides, halving the distance to find the center will still work fine. In fact, he could have used something 1/4" and it would still have worked the same.
Use cigarette paper these days and the shop teacher will have you pee in the container for testing. ;- ) .
‘70s shop teachers equals 2000s sold off machinery and no shop class. Unfortunately everything good is being labeled dangerous and being nerfed now.
@@MrRodneyCL My machine shop was in college and the teacher was a retired Navy Machinist. First day of class he told us we wouldn't get A+ unless we could do it better than HE could. I got all A ...
That's a sweet arbor press. Congrats on the nice addition to the shop.
Knipex are hands down the best pliers I've ever used. I have 11 sets of various sizes and jaw configurations. No reason to have anything else.
AvE taught me this
Yes, professional electrician by trade, Knipex cutters, pliers, etc beat the competition hands down. I have a pair of cutters I use day to day... for chopping service cables, (16 sq mm cable, about 2 gauge in US I think?) , pulling floorboard nails, etc. They can still snip the nylon rip cord in a cat6 data cable cleanly.
addicted to this channel after 3 videos.
Another masterful job completed!
Would be nice to see you make a custom end cap to cover the centre of the wheel where it goes over the shaft.
looked for this comment to prevent duplicates....knew I wasn't wrong for thinking the same thing :)
I wish you would keep this guitar intro on all of your videos. It's your unique theme song and it wouldn't be you without it.
Just a suggestion but I'd mark the donated tools with the viewer's names. I know you get a lot of gifts, but that Knipex plier wrench set is very pricey and generous gift not to bother trying to remember who it came from IMO.
I wish I could afford a nice set of knipex tools. German engineering and finest quality. I'm from Australia so I'm lost with your measurements but I know Abom, your heart is always in the right place.
Going back and forth between Imperial/SAE and Metric is easy enough. The key is that 25.4 mm. = 1 inch. Every now and then, things are close enough that tools are "interchangeable". A favorite of mine is 0.75 in. and 19 mm.
Our 72-year young toolroom machinist does never uses a traditional edge finder. He uses a .200 gauge pin and puts a little Sharpie on it and moves to the part until just a bit of the Sharpie rubs off. Says he has always been way more accurate with that over a normal edges finder. Seeing you use that rod reminded me of that.
I was surprised you did not face the back of the wheel when you did that skim cut. I know you didn't need to, just thought you would. Great video
Really satisfying little job, good work Adam.
Knipex is the most expensive german tool brand u can find at least where I am. Top quality
I truly enjoy watching your work. Thanks for posting your work !!
Hi Adam, just a quick FYI on the proper use of the precision ground flat stones. Always use them as a pair and before putting it to a piece of metal you must rub them together to remove any little piece of metal which may poke out of the flat surface. For more info see Robin Renzetti’s video on this!
I’m well aware of this, as been shown in previous videos.
Dang, and for the last few years I've been watching, I thought Adam knew about precision flat stones. Thank the stars you are here to educate.
Abom79 I’m sorry, I saw only the one stone, so yeah. I should’ve known better🤷🏻♂️🤜🏼
Wow. I think i can now call myself a machinist! This is something I could actually do in my shop! Drill, tap, set crew with a dimple and an 1 3/8" hole. Can't true it up on the lathe but that wheel looks round enough to me.:-)
Much Respect from Nashville
You need to make a little hub caps for the center of the wheel
Either that or turn the hub down to the same length as the stick-out of the shaft.
Maybe a project for NYC CNC with Abom’s logo engraved on there!? Out of brass!
I was thinking I could 3d print a cap in TPU but I only have garish colors at the moment
It needs a little hub cap? Perhaps with Abom79 machined into it or something like that.
You are a great Machinist and a very smart guy!
Nice one Adam, I enjoyed that! Great for a Sunday morning. 👍
Nice little 'morning coffee' video. Thanks.
Love those Knipex parallel smooth jaws. The small pairs have a good max range, and I prefer them over adjustable wrenches for most jobs
gotta get me some of those...they look sweet!
Fun video, who doesn't like cutting cast iron👍. I am surprised you didn't machine the circumference.
Hay man i want to thank you for bringing me along for the ride and letting me be the machinist that im not. Seriously though.
My granddad told me its not good to use oil on cast iron for taping or any machining work but just for some help and extra safety he told me to use kerosene. It really helps if you drill or tap cast iron.
Good shooting and editing on this one, I love the attention to detail.
I deeply appreciate your videos, brother. Thank you. In your vid on taking delivery of the Dake, you said "Like it was made for it!" and I laughed pretty hard, since the whole damn channel is about machining things specifically for other things. You ought to have that phrase on some merch.
Don't know why I hit the thumbs down button but this was a truly professional job. really liked it and sometime need to see these job a couple times to learn them.
That’s a really enjoyable little project. Could you put a end cap on the hand wheel hole, it would finish it off nicely. Thanks Adam.
Every day is Arbor Day with Adam!
Hi Adam, I was very interested to see how you held the cordless drill when putting a divet in the shaft. You see so many people on here using hand drills at weird angles and moving around so I wanted to see how accurately you did it. I can honestly say that you seemed to be spot on square to the shaft and never deviated, perfection!
I bet that 'Stefan Gotteswinter' would be envious of your stance, maybe you could arrange a contest to see who is the most accurate with hand tools used in a machine shop? A simple piece of 2" square bar, one face filed down 1/16", one face hack-sawed corner to corner halfway down it and a 1/4" hole drilled through in the center of another face with a power hand drill... could be fun?
Loverly piece of Casting. Simple Job, Always worth the time to do it right. well done Adam
Adam why not just do a blind bore hole. Would have been a nice touch leaving a solid cap on the outside of the wheel. Either way great content as always.
That's some great work, but I can't help thinking I would have done blind holes for the centre bore and the tapped hole.
30:50 I think this is the first time I have seen you use a power tool that weighed less than a ton.
It was nice to see a machine from my old stomping grounds,
Nicely done, looks good on there.
Thanks for the video. 👍
I'd have made the bore in the hand wheel a blind hole to the correct depth of how far onto the shaft you'd want it to go. Nothing wrong with the way you did it though, just personal preference. Also, recess the davit in the shaft a little bit so that it cannot flare and jamb the hand wheel onto the shaft.
I ground myself some precision stones at work, for
use at work and I use them all the time. Sometimes
things like that big drill, I’ll leave the stone on the
bench and drag the drill shank along while rotating
it at the same time. It’s much easier than holding
it in the air like that.
I also ground some round stones, so now I can get
into some radius’s and some holes.
with great respect to your knowledge and skills, I keep thinking, "close enough" would earn me a smack lol
Great trade bud.That is a nice casting indeed. Nice and clean. Not full of sand pockets.Nice, straight forward job my friend. Sure nice to have the right tooling and the press as it was meant to be. Have a great weekend my friend.
Also, I enjoy how you explain what you do and why. I have a real fondness of Machinery used from the early 18th century to the advancements to the present time period. I am a vintage machinery fan and aviation student. I helped build my father in-laws turn of the century 1903 Stanley Steam Car.
I think that's one aspect the viewers enjoy about my videos is the info I try to share as I do my work, so I always continue that with the videos.
Great job and presentation. I enjoy your videos because you don’t ramble or repeat yourself. You obviously are a very skilled and talented craftsman. BTW USA LOVE THE FLAG IN THE BACKGROUND!!!
obviously you are an idiot and have no idea what you are talking about
Thanks for sharing Adam!
seen adam savage from mythbusters using that knipex pliers he was raving the quallity of the piece so, that put me on the trail for ne and i found one for myself ,i can only agree its a realy good working ool
think a little coverplug over the centerhole of the wheel would look nice , the axle on the machine is a little stubby for the dept of the hole
