[@erictrinque6513]

that dude seems like an awesome genuine nice guy, thanks for sharing, going to look up his work now!

[@4fuzzybear]

Warms my coddles to see another hard workin friendly feller enjoying his work. You both get a gold star...

[@GarageBoundLLC]

4fuzzybear thanks! Makes me happy to inspire others!

[@anthonymolyneux1929]

What an awesome philosophy on life. Sure seems like he has his shit together. My favorite shop tour so far

[@GarageBoundLLC]

Anthony Molyneux wow! Thank you! I am not sure all my shit is together, but I sure try!

[@anthonymolyneux1929]

Garage Bound, LLC. I feel the same way about learning and having useful skills. Education is always a good thing but college is a suckers game. Get out there, use your hands and build some cool shit

[@drubradley8821]

That was cool.. His shop, I could place 47 of my shops in his..lol... Thank you for sharing this tour. I feel inspired to build something now.. I love this feeling.. time to get busy..

[@johnapel2856]

That turret drill press is neat. And Woof to the bouncy dog! Thanks.

[@bcbloc02]

Awesome shop! I wonder if those big steadies would be close to the right size for my 40" swing Monarch? I used to have a COE Chevy like that. :-) Very cool to see his projects!

[@bennyfactr6122]

Starts right off with a 23 series Packard... i'm in.

[@RGSABloke]

Hi Adam, what a cool guy, and he's wearing This Old Tony goggles, really cool. Kindest regards. Joe.

[@19672701]

Thanks Adam, always looking for a great new KZbin channel to watch. My new subscription!

[@GarageBoundLLC]

louverdudski thank you for subscribing!

[@mattdavis5512]

He has it set up man. He is living the life. Being able to do what you love and love doing it goes a long way with leading a happy life.

[@GarageBoundLLC]

Matt Davis I am truly blessed to be in this current position!

[@mattdavis5512]

That is very good to here. As am I Buddy. I envy your want for more and to learn new things. I’ve recently opened my doors to a lot more and I’m starting to do the same. Keep on keeping on brother!!!!

[@waikanaebeach]

Lots of great stuff.... He is such a nice fellow engineer... Adam, you should do some machinist teaching sessions. You're so good at explaining how you do jobs...

[@buildtherapy8842]

Totally agreed with this guy about the college thing.

[@84moroso]

Good to see you doing well Adam and glad to see your in good company!

[@patrickmoore5508]

Abo / Mike. Great deal on the Colchester lathe. Looks great condition. Best to urgently move the pedstal grinder far away from the lathe. The grit will destroy the precision beds. Im sure you will tell him Abom.

[@joelkton1]

Thanks for bringing us along.

[@crossbowhunter9118]

That turret drill press is super cool wish I had one

[@GarageBoundLLC]

Crossbow Hunter you can buy mine! I could use the space

[@crossbowhunter9118]

How does the turret go around do u do any thing or wat I never used one also

[@GarageBoundLLC]

Crossbow Hunter I would take a grand for it. How many miles from Chattanooga?

[@crossbowhunter9118]

How much u want? I live in Ohio I do not have a way of Bring it back to my shop

[@GarageBoundLLC]

Crossbow Hunter you could put it in the back of a pickup truck

[@Chuffin_ell]

RESPECT! For a shop that tells of a hardworking dude that knows his shit.

[@lylemarshall8433]

I'm really digging these shop tours, keep'em coming!

[@Abom79]

We still have a few more to go

[@hankus253]

Adam, Michael sure has the right attitude and I appreciate your sharing this great tour. Another new subscription here as well.

[@GarageBoundLLC]

hankus253 thank you for subscribing!

[@kentuckytrapper780]

The only thing better than an Ol'tennasee boy is a ol'kentucky boy. Really two of the same. Great looking shop, great video.

[@cschwad559]

He has a great work ethic. Always great to see.

[@SteveSummers]

What a great shop👍 Got all the bases covered. Thanks for the video Adam. Nice work

[@heardashot]

This is a super shop tour with an outstanding host. What a gem. The enthusiasm & the positivity from this guy is incredible, infectious in fact. He'll do very well whatever he puts his hands too. Mike, greetings from across that big pond from Ireland. Man i feel pumped after watching that. Signed off over & out. Thank you very much.

[@davidoleary2452]

could do with more foke like him here in ireland, serious workshop so hard to find machines and tooling like that here

[@kurtfattig9370]

What a cool guy. Thanks for introducing him to us, Adam. Those goggles are the bomb!

[@petemclinc]

He looks like someone from "Mad Max"..

[@nashguy207]

Thanks for sharing. He seems like a great guy love his shop!!! Have a great day. God Bless!!!

[@Captdal]

Cool shop

[@aether5213]

Loving the tours

[@yambo59]

I had always wanted something like one of those massive Reed vises, what a "chunk of quality" tool from days gone by. That truck is a sweet piece of history, and that shop wow - room and equipment to build virtually anything within reason. Good to see young guys carrying the old skills torch so to speak, there will always be a need for people to keep the world turning. Hopefully the resurgence in machine and fab work keeps growing so we can get back to the "can do" mentality this country used to be proud of and known for.

[@GarageBoundLLC]

yambo59 excellent statement!

[@yambo59]

Hey thanks but I cant really take much credit, theres lots of us old guys (58 here) that feel the same way and who grew up with it being a rite of passage to know how to fix and fab your own stuff - especially if broke like we were most of the time-lol Im no machinist just an ex mechanic / DIY guy who loves to create/build and/or repurpose things instead of just throwing away and buying new chinese crap all the time. I love all those old machines and vises from the WWII or earlier era, stuff was really built to last back then - end of soapbox rant-lol

[@heardashot]

Hello there man, greetings from Ireland. I could not agree more with your posts. What a spirited video with a wonderful host. Similar happenings in Ireland where young kids are happier with their heads buried in i phones or smart devices uninterested working their hands. Its a tragedy really. Well i'm kind of like Mike above with a suite of old metal and sheds full of character. Blessed with two kids that have already worked hammer & anvil and now tasting some woodturning at 5 & 6 years old. Get them young and plant that seed. Encourage & reward!. Good heath & God bless you fella.

[@yambo59]

Thank you much sir, and hello to Ireland from America - I fear one of our worst problems here in the U.S. is many in our own government dont want a population of self reliant critical thinking working class people who might challenge the govt, but rather a bunch of placated drones who are easily manipulated and will vote their way in exchange for keeping themselves in power and money. This is why the govt. often seems to favor special interest groups they can pander to and use to dilute the working class conservative American vote like minorities, LGBT, illegal aliens and anyone else who will vote their way for special favors, welfare and a free phone. This is one reason for all his faults I like much of what pres. Trump has done, hes upset the applecart big time among the career politicians and its the first time ive seen a US president actually doing something about bringing jobs back and killing some of these anti American trade agreements etc etc. -- but once again im off on a tangent. lol

[@gibbsey9579]

Great Shop. Great Guy, and even better, I saw a 1950's Studebaker at the start of the video. Great job Adam. Thanks.

[@jimad]

Great video - Michael's clearly got it goin' on!

[@forrestaddy9644]

I bought my first Lincoln 225 in 1963. Used it for 25 years when I replaced it with a Lincoln 300 - 300 TIG. Both worked perfectly, sat for decades in a damp un-heated shop. Trouble is, new welding technology beckons and my existing welder will not falter and give me an excuse to upgrade. Life is cruel.

[@antonsijmons145]

nice friendly guy

[@thebmac]

Pretty cool and nice guy with some good hustle! Got a story for everything in there. Was nice to go for the tour and hear a few of his stories!

[@GarageBoundLLC]

Bradley Macaulay thanks! I love all my stuff and work hard for it ... even if hustled!

[@MikeBramm]

Very cool stuff. That short wheelbase wrecker is awesome. They don't build them like that anymore.

[@CleaveMountaineering]

You're totally right about college. Here I am, a mechanical engineer, working through a huge set of manufacturing drawings, watching your video out of the corner of my eye while I work, wishing I were actually making things myself at work!

[@johndunbar2393]

Awesome shop tour! That dude has an amazing vibe about him. That shop has anything a guy would need. Very nice! I appreciate the shop tour Adam and thanks Mr. Brandt for allowing all of us to see your world a bit. I subbed to your channel and IG!

[@GarageBoundLLC]

American Machine Thanks for the great compliment! I am pretty passionate about my slice of life and feel very privileged to be where I am and to have the friends I have! Happy to make friends with Adam and am grateful of him sharing my slice with all his followers! Thank you for the follows!

[@johndunbar2393]

You are more than welcome Sir!

[@nferraro222]

Guys got a big-ass stero speaker sitting right on the gantry - this is a cool shop. Thanks for the tour Adam.

[@HammerPowered]

Very cool stuff man. That Chevy COE is a heck of a project too...love it.

[@TomokosEnterprize]

Neat tour today bud. Many thanks !

[@toolbox-gua]

Really nice guy and host.

[@ryanmullen4482]

Hell yea brother your an amazing guy and I’m only 16 and the impact you’ve had on me and making me want to go out to my shop and fabercoble stuff and make something to be exact and not just farmer hack it is amazing and I’m starting to make my shop up and get it up to a good size and it’s so much fun, I’m in grade 11 and when I finish school I don’t want to sit behind a desk for the rest of my life I want to be a heavy duty ag mechanic and I hope to accomplish my dream and I just want to thank you for being a great dude and showing people how to do something and do it right to!! Thanks man

[@Abom79]

Great attitude to have! People need guys like you so follow your dreams! 👍🏻

[@ryanmullen4482]

Abom79 Thanks man I try my best to do so!

[@63256325N]

Nice shop! Thanks for the video.

[@keithparady2594]

Wow what a shop wicked good stuff

[@colmone5592]

That truck looks just like the trator unit from the Cannonball tv series from 1958. Iused to always watch it. The truck was the star.

[@michaelhayward7572]

This dude is cool. My kinda guy. Kudos!

[@Nevercouldfigureitout]

What a awesome shop and guy. I really like these shop tours you’re doing. I’m about 5 hours away from Chattanooga and definitely will try to check him out next time I’m down that way. That was a nice pile of stuff on the table you got your vice from. I subbed as well and great to find a new channel.

[@jmcenterprises9591]

Nice shop, I hope Michael has much success.

[@GarageBoundLLC]

Thank you. I work very hard for all that I want!

[@joeziegler9054]

Very cool Abom! We still use these old press brakes everyday on our production floor. We have a lot of Cincinnati press brakes. Awesome again bro. Parts are becoming obsolete for these machines that's where I come in as a machinist! Thanks again for the vid Adam awesome job!!

[@johnmason6443]

Very good viewing,thanks.

[@joopterwijn]

Great view of life!

[@German_MDS]

What a nice guy! Very cool shop, thanks for sharing!

[@BossmanEight]

I really enjoy these shop tours Adam. I hope you continue them.

[@orkidknog4147]

great video adam and he looks like he knows what hes doing and great you got a free vice aswell,

[@PorkBarrel.]

Just checked out his sight. I'm sure he'll get a lot of subbs out of this. Good on you!

[@eddytaylor3697]

Wow Adam, if I had known you were so close to me, you could have stopped at my house and had supper. I live 20 mile's south of Chatt Town right off I-59 little town called Trenton Georgia.

[@neilsiebenthal8696]

I'm up in soddy daisy lol

[@snoozinglion8596]

Very cool segment Adam, I enjoyed that very much... thanks for sharing ;)

[@larrysnyder3475]

Cool place. Thanks for sharing

[@larrymunday7519]

Old clutch type flywheel brake, Ive had to make new bearings for one of those cluthes.

[@Rich206L]

Adam, Mike Rowe would love this guy. Maybe you get him to make an episode! Rich

[@GarageBoundLLC]

Rich206L awesome! I would really dig that!

[@Terry_Baker]

Awesome video Abom!!

[@chrispalombo6394]

HAAAHAHAHAHAHAAAA!!!! I am the guy who bought that Dividing Head!!! :) Well done, Michael!

[@chrispalombo6394]

I was hoping that you still had the old shaper outside and that it was going to show up with a story of how you restored it!

[@GarageBoundLLC]

Chris Palombo great to hear from you!!!

[@GarageBoundLLC]

Chris Palombo the shaper found a new home to a tough guy that was super excited to restore it!

[@chrispalombo6394]

Even better! It is good to see those old girls get restored and put to use. Peace, man! Glad to see you have gone big time!

[@chrispalombo6394]

Also, if you ever have more tools to sell, give me a ring via FB. I am still adding to my garage shop. :)

[@clobbyhops]

Love the keepers creepers truck in the shop, looks like it only gets to eat fuel every 21 years 🤣🤣🤣👌👌👍😍

[@neilsiebenthal8696]

Wwwhhaattt! You were in Chattanooga!?! That's my hometown!

[@hilltopmachineworks2131]

Mike has a nice shop and would be a great guy to work with.

[@bombardier3qtrlbpsi]

very good video and thanks for the tour

[@brianevans1946]

Great vid, wish i could be like this guy..

[@GarryFullerSr]

What a Neat Shop.

[@rodneywroten2994]

that was a cool place. and he has a lot of machines

[@PhilCannonWoodworking]

Seeing the Colchester Lathe brought back memories, cut my teeth on those machines when I was in engineering in the 90’s.

[@jdavidkatz]

He's absolutely right about college. It's lunacy to spend six figures only to end up in a cubicle and in debt for 20 years. Start making things. You'll never regret it.

[@AustrianAnarchy]

8:47 BTW, Chattanooga is the birthplace of the wrecker.

[@GarageBoundLLC]

AustrianAnarchy yes! And we have the tow truck museum! Have you been?

[@AustrianAnarchy]

Haven't been yet, have been wanting to go for a long time.

[@StreuB1]

How in gods name does this man have only 279 subs!!?!? Great video and great guy and shop!

[@emasbury]

He has more now thanks to ABOM.. Way to go Adam

[@johndunbar2393]

I thought the same thing! I did notice alot of his videos are shorter, maybe because he utilizes IG more perhaps. I hope he starts working his KZbin a bit with longer videos. I think he would be great!

[@atbglenn]

I just subscribed to his channel. Super cool guy!

[@Abom79]

He hasn’t been very active on his KZbin channel but he plans to. Mike uses Instagram mostly for daily updates.

[@theworkshopmechanicchannel3296]

You know why I like this guy, it’s because we have the same taste in machinery. You have the same model Colchester lathe as I do, yours would be about a 1968-70, the later model didn’t have the foot brake. When they made them they had no inline oil filter, I fitted one that filters the oil down to 5 microns.

[@littlejohn9458]

That is a awesome guy with a awesome story.

[@bearsrodshop7067]

Most of us guys would trade off our Brides for that COE Chevy inside the shop,,,Great tour,,thx Adam,,Bear

[@outsidescrewball]

Awesome vid/tour/shop/person....and great “seagull”...lol

[@TheArsonsmith4242]

I have that same old lunchbox Mitutoyo DRO on my Bridgeport..

[@vintagespeed]

cool shop, cool dude, thanks for the vid!

[@GarageBoundLLC]

VintageSpeed Garage thank you! Just subscribed to your channel, too!

[@vintagespeed]

i wish i had come by your shop while i was out there riding the TransAmerica Trail. maybe next time! thanks.

[@GarageBoundLLC]

VintageSpeed Garage you are welcome to visit anytime!

[@kutunuikunikuni1301]

I've been following your channel for a while now and I find it fascinating that you always have a clean work place and indeed a clean workshop environment and I was wondering if perhaps you might dedicate an episode describing time and effort it takes to maintain a healthy workplace. I am very much interested to see how you clean out the mountains of chips and stuff under or around and in between your work pieces. That would be cool. I can't imagine you using air to blow stuff all over the place. ....just find it interesting that's all.

[@stevehobson3681]

Great video Adam. Where can I get myself one of those Abom drinks thermos/travel cup? Been on the storefront and I don’t see them. I would like to get some toolbox stickers too if they are available?

[@Sharklops]

Could be wrong but I think that's just a plain mug with one of his stickers on it

[@anonymousgeorge4321]

Great video. Thanks.

Really great!

Anybody else get a Jesse James/ West Coast Chopper vibe with Mike?

[@vettepicking]

yeah

[@GarageBoundLLC]

Cyril Hudak awesome compliment. Thanks.

[@Alistair_Spence]

I was going to make exactly that same comment. Totally agree.

[@futten3230]

nice shop

[@VinceSaluto1]

That was a great tour! Thanks

[@TheArsonsmith4242]

Great shop tour, I want to play.

[@derrickrees8895]

Looks like quite a rare Packard outside ,1949 / 50 Custom Eight with the 9 Main Super Eight ?

[@GarageBoundLLC]

Derrick Rees yes. 1949 with straight flathead 8

[@FabFunty]

I knew it was a Reed vise before he said it and I never had seen one or thought about that there are different brands/sizes/forms/use of vises before I subscribed here a few weeks ago 😎🛠🔩👍

[@monkey12345648]

Nice shop.I subbed.

[@GarageBoundLLC]

monkey12345648 thank you very much! More content soon!

[@SuperSecretSquirell]

We've got a Clausing just like that one at work, but it's not hooked to power and is hiding under a pallet rack shelf. I'd love to have it, but would be too big for my garage and I really want a small Bridgeport first.

[@nanoSushi]

Those steady rests seems to be Skoda brand. We've got Skoda SRM 125 at work and it's steady rests are very much alike.

[@johnstrange6799]

Wow!

[@RobertKohut]

Nice!!

[@tierfuehrer2]

What is te truck in the backround?

[@GarageBoundLLC]

tierfuehrer2 it is a 1950-1951 Chevy COE wrecker!

[@tierfuehrer2]

I could not see that it was a wrecker but this makes the truck even more awesome!!! :) Do you have a video about it? EDIT: I had to sub because its a wrecker. :)

[@GarageBoundLLC]

tierfuehrer2 I will drag it out soon and make one just for you. How about that?

[@jeffreylewis145]

The swivel locking mechanism in Wilton vises is terrible. The bolts just hang down and try to tilt over when you rotate the vise, which effectively shortens them causing the swivel motion to stop. I have solved this in my Wilton vises by machining blocks to keep the bolts straight then tacking the blocks inside the swivel housing. It makes using the swivel tolerable.

[@doctordeutz3601]

Cool Love it

[@keahifhp]

Good dude

[@ohhpaul7364]

Thanks for the tour. Nice shop. Maybe Michael could wheel and deal with an HVAC contractor and get him some A/C in there, I have no idea what he would need, but y'all looked a bit warm in there. Where I live, a good security cage for the outdoor unit of an A/C may get you somewhere with them, perhaps a dozen or so; I don't know what works for where Garage Bound is.

[@GarageBoundLLC]

Ohh Paul yes. Pretty hot on that day!
