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.

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. . .

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!

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!

Adam I sure like seeing you use the chuck wrench I made for you 😀😀😀😀

This is what I love about the community. The strong connection and help that’s passed on to younger and older.

More like the old days of "saturday night special" - great video

Best part is watching the instruction, and Will's excitement at learning.

Adam you should do this for a living - classic 😅

You have a wonderful KZread channel Abom79. You bring us sanity to this crazy world we live in.

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.

WILL: I have been watching Adam for 12 years. He _always_ indicates to one thousandth,

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.

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!

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.

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....🙂

It amazes me how the KZread family comes together to work and help each other out.

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.

I had one of those lot lizards beat on the door of my truck for two hours. I finally had to let her out.

Good to see the Pacemaker in operation. It runs smooth

As a baby's bum. Quality plus as usual; if it's USA made.

I find it distracting and sometimes frustrating when people want to talk to me when I'm machining. You are a true professional .

I agree with Will. I think you should become a machinist. You are really good at it! 😀

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.

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!

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.

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.

I enjoyed seeing the two of you interact. Thanks.

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.

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

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.

That Pacemaker is a beast! GoPro shutter LED lighting mismatch.

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.

Great to see you passing on your knowledge to the younger guys.

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 KZread channels.

I love the community of you guys. two guys from oppisit sides of a continent helping each other. This is amazing.

You can bet that trucker new exactly what he was doing! Welcome to on the road and old time truckers in general.

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.

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! 👍🛠❤😎

You look so good on these manual machining projects. I saw his video about this item about two weeks ago. Nice job Adam 👌🏻

He seems like a very nice young man and very appreciative

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".

I love manuel machines and the skill to run them .thanks Adam

Collaboration between two of my favorite KZreadrs - well done Adam and Will

He's a nice kid, he loves the work!

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.

I finally got to see some chips. Enjoyed the show

The perfect video to completely relax to and watch on a 4K screen!

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!

nice!! liking the excitement and soaking up the knowledge from a pro!!

All the novice questions and explaining by Adam, Love it

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.

Great to see the big lathe run so well.

Lots of useful information on cleaning up shafts. Thanks for sharing this.

"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.

Great vid Adam. Looking forward to part2

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

It's good to see your video crew.

Love the crossover.

Nice work and finish; attention to detail and tolerances.

Been following him and Steele for years! 😁

Been looking forward to this vkdeo ever since I saw Wills version.

So cool to see the pacemaker working , awesome video .

He's a great kid. Great that you could help him out.

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 .

Love that pacemaker action👍 Good content, thanks Adam!

Great to help out the youngsters

It is always a delight to see you working, Mr B. And helping out a fellow craftsman is THE way to go.

Good to see the joy on Will face as the finish of the shaft comes to life.

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.

Loved the work with Will. It's great seeing folks I like doing things together.

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

Good work, Adam. Nice to see support from an awesome Blacksmith too!

love watching Wills cHannel Adam what a fun guest to Have visIt the shop for a bit of much needed repair.

Good to see the Pacemaker in action!

(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.

Great video Thank you

Nice collaboration project, good to see both of you enjoying the project.. Love that finish from the pacemaker 👍👍

Great videography from Abby as usual!

I've been away from the channel for a bit but I have to say I really enjoyed this two part series.

Nice work, as usual!

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.

Abom79,, That is your new Apprentice, best video ever!!

Will just seems like an awesome young man.

Awesome! Help the youngsters.

Great content thanks for sharing.

Nice turning

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

Great Vid !! Keep'em coming...

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

You are Very nice chap Adam, hello from the UK
