I have my brotherinlaws Gerstner tool box and many of the tools he used in his work as a machinist. He has since passed and is deeply missed. I respected this man as a friend and brother and when i touch his tools it always brings memories and often helps me to do a better job. Items from family and friends can be very important to another generation.

Always a good day when abom posts a video. Incredible skill, craftsmanship and educational

Thanks Bob!

Ah, a midweek treat, cheers Adam

I"m not a machinist, but it sure in fascinating to know how all them grooves and cuts get made in a shaft or a gear. Never seen spark spray welding to build up a worn area, just amazing !!! Thanks for educating me on how it's done. A true learning experience !!!!! And when you explain what your doing, it makes me admire your learned knowledge !!!!!!!

More than just a little entertaining, Adam. Your level of craftsmanship is a jot to watch.

What I particularly like about this video is how obvious it is when someone speaks with authority on a subject.

I may not know a lot in this world but what I do know and understand, I’ll share it with you.

Every time I see you with your father, and grandfather at the end of your videos it makes me think of my own and how much I cherished the times we had together and all they taught me over the years. I miss them and watching you work reminds me how valuable it is for us to pass knowledge, old school work ethics and techniques the old timers passed down. Love to watch you work my friend. I can't help but wonder how good you have gotten from the experts you had around you. They would be very very proud. Keep up the great work.

Love seeing you spray weld, I didn't even knew this technique existed before seeing you doing it

I would love to see to see you do a hardness test on the spray weld vs the actual material below it

My favorite kind of shop video, using your machines to fix up other machines. With me it's vintage electronic test gear, but it's all good.

That wa sa beautiful job Adam.

It is always a pleasure to see the old measurement tools still doing useful and accurate work. Makes an old man like me smile.

True mark of a real pro - you make it look so easy! Also, great explanation of the camera parallax that turns worry warts into keyboard commandos.

Looks like I'm spraying the chuck! Never looked like that! Great job Abom 79

I'm here for the entertainment. I'm fascinated by how precise you are. Definitely cool to see you rebuilding these parts.

l sure do like watching the man with the BIG SMILE😁👀 do his expert work Thanks 👍...Shoe🇺🇸

I never get tired of watching spray weld build up in action.

Adam you been doing this a long time, you dont have to explain yourself to probably some kid that is fresh out of tech school who can't hold a candle to the decades of work you have done. Some keyboard warriors out here.

The one thing you have to check when spray welding is looking utterly badass. I mean, you could create a subscriber rush on your channel that will clog KZread’s tolerance fit for newcomers, and then you’re stuck signing autographs to strangers on street. Sucks.

I've never seen a new one, but I bet a new one doesn't look any better than this one.

I hope people understand the difference between fire-cloth and oil-cloth. I had some old canvas that I thought would be a good cover for welding. It was not. Learning from mistakes! Wisdom doesn't always come easy.

Great job, Adam 😁! Those worried about you frying your chuck obviously don't watch your work enough 😊. Cheers!

Whenever Adam wears that google it makes me think of Riddick

Hi Adam, as a German I love your precise acting. Keep on with your reliable work.

I love watching your videos. I will never be a machinist, but you have made me love the trade. If we lived close, I would take you out to dinner.

You should be a machinists teacher! That and safety as well. I’ve seen a lot of KZread machinists and none are as good or as safe as you are. Now that’s something to be proud of.

To bob bob’s comment I would add inspirational. Although I am only a hobby machinist I do find abom challenging me to tackle things I would never have thought possible. Tony

Fantastic, I absolutely love this method.

Abom! You didn’t smile after you turned off the touch like you normal do. Good stuff thanks for the content

@@SouthTexasSunsets I disagree. 🤔 How is that creepy? Adam has a wonderful smile. It'll brighten a room and it's great seeing how much he loves his work and the tools of the trade. You can really tell how satisfied he is with a tool or result when he smiles. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Keep’em coming. Always educational.

As always thank you, Adam.

Awesome job Adam, that looks better than new!

Both entertaining and educational. Awesome videos.

Earl should be a happy camper

The flame spray welding has definitely been a welcome addition to the repair and remanufacturering of expensive (Or not available) damaged parts. Its not for every job, But when used it sure makes a nice repair.

That is SO true! When I was in the bearing business (back in the '80s) we sold a LOT of "Speedy Sleeves" for repairs like this. No flame spraying at that time. Basically, a thin sleeve that was pressed (actually "pushed" on by hand) on the worn shaft and then the new bearing installed on that. Not an ideal repair by any means ...

I love your look when you put on that cap and those glasses and then wield that flame sprayer! The flame from that Rotojet is really impressive, almost as impressive as how fast the build-up was. Thanks for another excellent and instructive video.

I watch strictly for the entertainment value. Besides, it's cheaper than Netflix. Thanks, Adam!

You know your stuff! Good job, Adam.

old man that is long gone now once told me to give a guy a length of key stock and a file. perfect fit every time.

Great job as always. old school is cool school in my book . Your dad and grandad done good and are proud...I'm sure .

Thanks for sharing! You're a superb teacher! I am certain that Trade Schools' students get a lot out of em! Concise and informative. Not a lot of fluff, which is appreciated.

Nice work, Brother... and hey, anytime we get to use one of Grandpa's tools makes for a good day!

@@Abom79 I completely understand. You have a wide audience. It's your channel and from all indications you've put your heart and soul into the effort, and it shows. I was simply expressing my personal preference, shared, as you mention yourself, by not a small number of your loyal subscribers.

I don’t know if it’s in this video, but the “ don’t make the mic read what you’re looking for” is really good info. Use to do that years ago and when you said it I LOLed. Love the in depth platform.

Flame welding is a mystery to me. Saw it for the first time demonstrated a couple of months back on a other KZread channel. It’s fascinating watching you work and your end products are top-notch. Keep it coming.

Adam makes it look so easy, good job, great video!

the flame spray welding is cool and all but nothing beats those welding goggles 😂 spraying liquid metal at a lathe wearing those you're the coolest dude in town haha

The shaft turned out real nice. The Flame Spray sure looks cool in the video.

Very good work brother. Truly a lost art.

A pleasure to watch.

Amazing work as usual there Adam. Very impressive. Thank you very much for sharing.

Always love seeing spray welding, so cool

Always good usable contents. I enjoy your attention to detail.

Spray welding us so cool to watch.

I'll be honest when you first showed this shaft I thought oh good you're going to show cutting the splines when you make the new shaft because I really thought it was trashed but you sir brought it back from being scrap & did it with less work then making a new one.

Great Job Adam , I love good ole American job shop repairs ! saves down time and cheaper than a new part .. ENJOYED !!

Adam, Great to see some ‘ol school machine part rebuilds 👍 Thanks for the time and effort you put into these great vids 👏👏 Regards Robert

Thanks, Adam.

Love watching you work. Good repair and should last.

good job! The flame spray setup is pretty awesome, I have never seen that done.

Good deal, got some education and enjoyed your work/method. Thanks for the look!

Beautiful work. Almost new shaft. Top marks.

phenomenal finish quality, looks like new.

Excellent repair

Thanks for a great video Adam!!!!!

Very Cool Process My Friend! I especially liked Your Eutectic Flame Spray Application! Your Craftsmanship is on point! PROPS!!! 👍

Great episode, thanks!!!

Always enjoy your video

I always find the spray welding really intresting I’m a welder by trade and a machinist as a hobby/second job keep up the amazing videos

Nice work Adam.

Nice job. I enjoyed that!

Great job 👍

Nice job man turned out great.

Very nice. I learned to turn on a Colchester back in the UK before I went to University ( and then I was only allowed to drive a calculator for the rest of my engineering career). Just today I did a similar weld/turn/thread job on my brand new Precision Matthews 1440GT.. Thanks for all that you do as I learn something new on every one of your videos!

Turned out great Adam 👍👍

Always learning thanks

Thanks for sharing! Looks better then new.

Looks good Adam, should work out like a new one. Thanks for sharing with us. Fred.

excellent close-up videography!

Something about that flame spray, the six jaw chuck, and the camera frame rate started to get to my head lol… thought I was getting hypnotized!

Your a legend Adam 👏 👍

It chips off a little bit like gunmetal we use to machine alot of boat parts using that metal ...kinda cool how it stays put when machining it ..awesome job

You remind me of a certain cartoon character whenever you stop to check how much build-up has been sprayed. Not sure of his name but I'm sure someone knows who I'm thinking of. Great video. Love seeing the great work you do.

As usual fantastic work Abom good luck with ur work
