Adam, as one of the KZread machinists that are responsible for inspiring a lot of people, young And old to get into any of the trades, you don’t ever need to explain your content. The people that complain need to back off and watch you work. They don’t have to watch the whole video if they aren’t satisfied with this week’s video(s). Please enjoy your holidays and thanks for the last minute SNS!!

I agree 100% Ken. It amazes me some people can't grasp the concept that the world doesn't revolve around them. I know I would get tired of feeling like I had to constantly explain myself. Adam's channel is big enough that I don't think it matters what he does, someone, somewhere, will complain.

There’s nothing better than these old Abom videos for winding down right before bed time. Thanks for the years of quality content Adam!

Hey Adam, I don't comment much but I really wanted to say I love your channel. Keep it coming, but at your own pace! Don't push yourself too hard. I sometimes play your videos when my girlfriend and I are falling asleep, we really enjoy watching machine work. Super relaxing! It's also helped convince her that I do need a lathe ;)

We thank you for anything you are able to share with us Adam, have a great vacation :)

I really appreciate how honest and genuine you are with your audience. (19:25 RIP headphone users)

Airbrushing with frickin metal! This is one of the coolest things I've ever seen.

Metalizing has to be my most favorite think to watch and see the process.. and the machining of the Metal coated work piece is so satisfying

The metalizing doesn't even have to be the same stuff as the base metal. Some parts of the wind towers I used to help make were metalized with zinc or aluminum as part of the corrosion resistant coatings.

Please have a great vacation! Also know for certain that there are many of us who are delighted by anything you show whenever you show it. Your willingness to share and the willingness of your employer to let you show some of work for them is very much appreciated!

So much easier to follow what's going on when it's in metric. Thank you Adam for bringing also the metric stuff in to your videos!

Adam: you record and post whatever the hell you want to. Almost always instructive, and ALWAYS entertaining!!!

I have been watching your past videos. I want to say how much I appreciate these videos and how you explain what you are doing step by step. I learn a lot from them.

You are a master at your craft. I enjoy watching your videos whether they are in your shop or at work. Thank you for passing on your knowledge to those of us that are interested in what you do.

Wow, coming up on 200 shows. It seems like yesterday when we were hitting the 100 mark! Thanks for all the entertainment as well as educational material.

Long time viewer. Enjoy ALL that you do. So proud of all your shop progress. New concrete!! Very envious. You viewership is due to your kind, knowledgeable, and just great demeanor. Wish you and the family the best. Thanks for a great Saturday show.

Adam, any machining videos from you are perfectly fine, whether it is from your shop or from work it doesn't matter. Keep up the good work man, you are a right inspiration!

That was pure sorcery. I didn't even know metalizing was a thing. Really cool video. Enjoy your vacation, and Merry Christmas.

People will find quality content Adam and you've always gone out of your way to make your videos both entertaining and informative. I'm not a machinist but a woodworker - of sorts - and yet I've been able to adapt some of your techniques to improve my woodworking projects.

I'm a little late to this SNS but I was super impressed with the video quality (sound, light, angles, etc) of the footage taken on your phone of the bearing plate. I wouldn't have even known if you didn't mention it. I always enjoy the little projects, it gives a different view of your work and the stuff you do. It's not all huge, multi part projects!

The phone takes pretty impressive videos. The new external mic really helps with the audio. It’s a good set up for quick instant videos on the fly.

Hexagon Metrology is an excellent example of the rapid evolution in machine vision and spacial analysis. Really hard to remember how we used slide rules, optical comparators and stereo film for aerial photogrammetry and early remote sensing just to make it through the day...You give me great hope for the future. Keep sharing. Thanks.

Man I’m so grateful that your boss is cool with you filming at work. You film whatever the fuck you want, I’ll still watch.

I'll watch what ever you put up for us. It's all good to me.

The Channel grows due to the fact that you are Adam Booth. Genuine, top notch effort on every job and taking the appearance of a part to an almost artistic level. Your Photography skills are awesome, but some guys video or editing may not be up to your level, or Keith Fenner's, but they are the real deal also and we like them too. If you need a break take a break, but know that we look forward to every video you post. J-ust please always come back. Nothing fake about you and other guys need to be themselves. - Not copy someone else. The real deal man. A lot of you guys just seem cool, can't figure it out but thats ok.

Great segment Adam. Thanks for taking the time for "one more segment" before you headed out for some well deserved time off. You epitomize the role of the blue collar American Workman! Thank you for all you do.... Fred Ontario, NY

...Videos from Abom79.....always a treat....!

I enjoy the variety of jobs I get to watch on this channel--stuff from your shop, and your "day job." Thanks for bringing all this stuff to us. It was a great year of content on your channel. Enjoying the BBQ stuff on the other channel too, (I'm a Texan, so I can't help it,) even if it's pork! Have a Merry Christmas!

It may be "boring" pun here to you but to us that do not do this we or I find it fascinating and for me relaxing. Keep up the good work bro.

I enjoy watching the work you do at the day job and at the home shop. As for the latter, I count shop improvements as part of the home shop footage, so I enjoy all of those updates. Rock on!

Great content! I'm sure some are wondering about taking the work videos. As I see it, it is a win win. A big win for your viewers and a very big win for Motion Industries to show the quality and diversification of their services at no cost to them. Just compare the company videos they put out- 3600 subs and maybe a hundred or two views on each of their videos compared to the tens of thousands of yours showing what Motion and its employees are doing. So thank you Adam and all your coworkers and thank you Motion Industries. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. Ed K. Cleve. Oh.

Adam, I really appreciate everything you put on your channel, I can't even imagine how much effort it takes,thanks far all of it. Guys like you keep the world going, enjoy your vacation!

By the time you read this I hope you and Abby had a very Merry Christmas and will have a happy New Year! Thank you for all the videos.

Very interesting! It's great to be able watch over the shoulder of a world-class machinist, and not get too much in the way. Thanks, Adam.

Wherever the video is made, the skill and talent comes from you. Thanks for sharing it with us.

Grateful to see whatever you can show us about machining and shopwork, whether that’s in your shop or at your job. Merry Christmas. Cheers, Lasz

Hey Adam I always appreciate the videos! You're my favorite guy on KZread hands down. So down to earth and just a solid man, a kind and honest man. Happy holidays man!

One of the best things about your videos is the very wide variety of subject matter you show! Keep up the GREAT WORK!!!!

I don't care where your content comes from, I like what you produce and think you do a heck of a job of it. Keep up the good work.

I once built a hydraulic manifold that took advantage of every pipe standard on the planet. It had npt, nps, bspt, bspp, o-ring boss and a few others I never did find the official standard for. I ended up taking measurements off the fittings and thread milling them till they fit. Projects like that sure make you appreciate standards what ever they are.

Thanks so much Adam!!! Merry Christmas to you and family. Love watching you work. I've learned a ton.

I wish I could post pictures here of some of the shafts that I get back for "repair". You would find endless humor in it. We had one guy bring one that was so badly worn we thought it was a groove and made it accordingly only to find out that it was "normal wear"

Saturday is saved! Really appreciate the extra mile you go every time. Merry Christmas.

I very much enjoy the shots from your work since we can see skills and technology that are not available in your home shop. You cover the material enough to give us the detail and enough highlights without repetition. I found the CMM fascinating. Holiday best to you all.

Merry Christmas! Enjoy your vacation. I just wanted to tell you that I really enjoy the mix of videos that you produce. I like to see the way you approach the larger projects at your day job and the generally smaller jobs in your home shop. Thanks!

Jesus Christ, you're the most skilled engineer I've ever come across. You deserve to earn millions of dollars an hour

A Wise Man once said "A Man's got to know his limitations" and another Wise Man said "A Man's got to know his priorities". I say "Adam, you're doing a Damn Fine Job! Keep up the good work there Son!"

Glad to see you got a final SNS in for the year. Thanks for all the videos, the knowledge you share and cool machining projects. Merry Christmas to you and your Family/Friends

I enjoyed watching the metal deposit welding, Adam. I started out as a welder before I went into the machining trade, and had not seen it done before. Very interesting how that works. Usually, I'm all about the setups and making chips, but showing that Hexagon was amazing, how it can do what it does just by knowing its own relationship to the world, and then using the laser and probe to make a visual conception of a whole part. Very cool! You have some pretty neat tech in the place you work, and it's nice that the owners will let you share. Hope you will thank them for us. You and Miss A. enjoy your big trip, and have a blessed and Merry Christmas!

@abom Any time you put into your videos and sharing with all of us I appreciate what you do. I'm sure many other do too. thanx again an happy holidays.

Always glad to watch whatever you post.

The metalizing and the hexagon tool were fabulous. Have a nice cruise, Adam and Abby!

I greatly enjoy your videos. I look forward to them every week.

Way to go Adam! Thanks for everything & Wishing You, Abbey & all your family a Very Happy Christmas & prosperous New Year!

Fascinating! I wish I could start over and travel down this road! Awesome vids, thank you!

Thanks Adam! I hope that you and Abby got what you wanted for Christmas, that you're having a great time and I wish you both a very Happy New Year!!!

Merry Christmas Adam, was a joy to watch you work this year.

I found the topics most interesting and I enjoy all of your You Tube postings. I am a newbie to this type of work and learning I started when I was 69 years old and I enjoy working with metal and making tools. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year and have a great vacation. One other thing Thank You for all the videos no matter where you make them they are awesome.

Thanks Adam for taking the time to entertain us Always look forward to your vids Pete (from over the pond) UK

Thank you Adam for taking time to do these great videos. 👍It must take a lot of time and effort

What an awesome year you have shown us Adam. Marry Christmas & a happy new year too you & your's.

No matter the source S N S + Abom79 = a complete Saturday for myself always interesting & Entertaining

Dang - if people ain't happy with what videos you're able to post... giving them free knowledge... awesome tips and tricks... then there's plenty of other channels. I'm a copier tech, not a machinist and this is one of my favorite channels. Rock on

Brian Alexander Unfortunately there’s a few people who like to voice there opinion when a creator posts content they aren’t interested in, or it’s unrelated to why they subbed.

I prefer your shop because your old Monarch brings back fond memories. We had one at Saturn, and the toolers (*mostly) adored their Monarch. I assisted the electricians in repairing it one night, and the old girl had a vacuum tube DC drive in it (which had a blown rectifier tube, but we got it up and running nonetheless). Otherwise, chips are chips, and where they fall doesn't matter to me. Your videos are great regardless of where you choose to shoot them. :) * I say "mostly" because you're lucky to get two toolers to agree on what day it is, let along which lathe was the best.

Work is work. Shoot what you can and I appreciate seeing any videos that you upload. Thank You.

Merry Christmas Adam. Thank you again for all the content.

I admire your work and your patience with negative people. I suggest they tee nut up or shut up. Wishing you and your family a happy new year

merry christmas! love your videos whether its in the shop or your workplace. its the machining i love to see and i felt like its nice seeing the heavy stuff u guys do over there along with those liquid nitrogen videos. very cool stuff. hope your having a great time and have a great new year

I love seeing the latest technology with that CMM working together with that old school horizontal boring mill to get a job done. I wish the folks at Kearns could have seen this.

Neat video of the spray welding and metrology! Have a great Christmas and enjoy your time off!

Merry Christmas, Adam and Abby! Thanks for all you do. Hope to meet you at one of the NYCNC open houses in 2018.

Happy New Year Adam! People need to understand you have to make a living to continue to do these videos. I enjoy the information you share regardless where it is recorded. Please keep up the good work!!!

Those were 2 great repairs Adam, The shaft repair was something I didn't know existed, you will laugh but I used to repair my outboard motor propeller shafts where the seal would wear a groove like that, by braze it up and put it in the drill press and file it back to size, would have drove you nuts LOL. But it worked ok. thanks for posting.

I'm glad to see any job that you do. Merry Christmas to you and have a safe and wonderful vacation.

Exceptionally interesting video, Adam. Thank you. Merry Christmas.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year Adam! Thank you for sharing these videos.

Wish you Merry Christmas, Adam Booth and whole of the family. Wish you all the best for future endeavours. May you enjoy your vacation.

Thanks Adam, merry christmas! Enjoy your vacation

That CMM looks so cool! I can see how that will be a great tool to have for the kinds of repair jobs you show in the day job shop.

thanks for squeezing in a vid. love watching whatever you put up! Hope you have a nice vacation,& a Merry Christmas !!!

It's what pays the bills after all, cause you KNOW KZread don't pay much. Besides, that work video was damn cool!

I have gone to trade shows, and when I ask them to check a part like this, they don't ever take measurements and scans and show me what I can expect for results. Tons of quick marketing videos though.

Keep the videos coming how you’ve been doing it, great to see what you are doing in either shop.

Merry Christmas from The Netherlands . Always enjoy your videos.

Awesome content this week. Thanks for sharing!

Happy x mast and a wonderful and busy 2018 to you and your family!!

Love that metalizing! Back in the 70s and 80s I had Lotus Europa cars, with a poor rear stub axle design that would eat up bearing journal contact surfaces. I had a machine shop that do this process to bring diameter back up, saving very expensive parts from the scrap bin. They never let me stay and watch... so now decades later, I get that chance with you.👍🏻🤣. Happy Holidays to you and Abby!

Silas Marner In the Twincam they increased the size of the inner bearing and improved the race spacer between the inner and outer. The S1 and S2 had smaller inner bearings... I owned each of them. Another issue was the inner race size of the inner bearing, non standard.... I often had the stub turned down 1mm take standard bearings.. the hardness of the stub was a bit low, and even with a locktite and light press fit, over lots of miles they would wear under the race. The place that did my metalizing also hardened them, which really helped. Twin cam series changed specs, much better! You have little to worry about. I believe the bearing spacer is far harder too, in the Twin Cam, providing much greater stability to the bearings inner races. I miss my S1 the most.. Would love to have one again and put formula ford type suspension in the back, and 2 liter 4 valve cosworth. Oh well... Driving a C5 Corvette in my old age🤣.

Gospelman I DO understand... In my S2, I basically had to completely rewire the car. The Prince of Darkness, Lucas, had to be evicted. I sold the S1 before getting around to it, and new owner crunched it up. My S2 had a worse fate, bent in half around a utility pole, after swerving to avoid a dog on the road and hitting gravel that had spread on the road earlier that day be some jerk spinning tires from the shoulder... I had been down that road the other way 30 minutes before and it was clean... such is fate. I lived... and bought the S1 with no engine... Should have tried harder to keep it I guess, but now 30 years later, part of that may be just nostalgia..
