I just started my vise collection with my grandfather's 1920-30 vintage 5-1/2" columbian. I just finished the restoration and I love it!

[@NetoRosatelli]

Dear Adam, I wish you the best with your surgery and recovery time! With so many viewers all over the world wishing and praying for the same I have no doubt that it will be a success. You bring us such joy and pleasure with your videos, there can not be words adequate enough to covey all our admiration and fondness of you. With all your knowledge, experience and skill, and yet with a humbleness that touch our hearts and make us look up to you and smile in awe and satisfaction that there are still persons like you in the world. I am absolutely sure that your grandfather and your Dad, wherever they may be, are beaming with pride and joy of you! As for the Norton Multistone thing, I would definitely go for the original green, but how can there be other color than black for you, Adam? Black it is!

[@karlpechotsch9769]

Good luck with the surgery and a speedy recovery. Paint it the original green.

[@ThermoNuclearLlama]

I finished watching this video and was going to hit the like button. But I realised I pressed it even before I had started watching it. That's when you know someone is always making great videos. Good luck with the op Adam. Looking forward to more content when you've fully recovered.

[@BCHonea]

Looking back at you compared to now makes me proud of you. You met Abby, lost some weight, expanded your business and gained countless followers. God bless you Adam Booth

[@johnapel2856]

Sending good vibes for the 19th. If it's a restoration, original green and original tag. Cool that Pete is a happy machinist now! Thanks.

[@russellboyle1368]

All the best for you’re up coming surgery Adam, look forward to your return in a few weeks. Take your recovery time to rest up and take it easy .You give so many people all around the world so much watching pleasure in your machining adventures/projects. Thinking of you from Australia 🇦🇺

[@MaturePatriot]

Adam, have been praying for you today. Hope your surgery went well, and that we will hear from you soon. Praying now for your recovery. See you in your next video.

[@wh0dunnitgaming]

Love it Adam! You have all of our support in your endeavors and after surgery, I'm sure we all want you to recover and stay healthy

[@robwatts116]

Good luck and speedy recovery. Just remember to take care of yourself first.

[@badattitude9127]

Good luck with your operation, please remember to take it easy afterwards and come back well. This is my favourite channel, love the work you do, you're a true master machinist

[@CraigLYoung]

I agree with Sandrammer's logic, with different stones make it a different color but something that will catch your eye thus be used. Red is a good suggestion.

[@MaturePatriot]

Adam, my advise is to paint the Norton Stone System, the vise, and the welding table, colors you will enjoy, and that won't clash with the other machinery that will be nearby. You have to be happy with the colors, not us. I have set a reminder, and will be praying for you on the 19th. Will be looking forward to new videos. GOD Bless and keep you, 'til we see you again.

[@douglaspierce316]

gray hammer finish. speedy recovery. listen to the nurse's. they know best. still love the shaper. those builder were amazing

[@RyanWeishalla]

Heal up fast, Adam. Take care and don't overdo it during recovery.

[@waikanaebeach]

Wish you well with your surgery and recovery, I hope it is successful and speedy...

[@Hotrodelectric]

For your hone: it's possible that the two other stones were an option. For color, I would say go with whatever you like, but I would consider going hammertone if possible in your color. Also, to get that "old style" enamel depth of color, maybe go with powder coating. On your recovery, take it easy. We'll be here when you get back.

[@TomokosEnterprize]

Always lovin these visits my friend. I have had 75 surgeries so do the physio bud. Self induced pain helps eh. I am sure you will be fine. Attitude is half the battle. I am looking forward to all the new tidbits coming up. I love that set of stones. They must bring memories every time you use it. Love history bud. Finding the second one is a real bonus.What a great piece. That edge is a real treasure. I only have a 12 in and would love that puppy for sure.I could use the whole page yattering on bud will now just sit here and enjoy. Thanks bud. This is great !

[@craigs5212]

Adam,Will miss you at the BarZ bash, good luck with the surgery. Be sure to grind up a couple of finely honed Momax tool bits for the surgeon to use. You will appreciate a nice radius, generous back rake and nice chip breaker. Take care, Craig

[@prodoverjeff2876]

I hope it goes well. I'll say a prayer.

[@lodgecav490]

I reckon a 'Cockford Ollie' brass plaque is needed for that Oil Stone....I believe there is a Canadian fabricobbling them somewhere...Best wishes with the surgery Adam, you will be better for it no doubt. Enjoy the R&R!

[@thomasutley]

My color recommendation is whatever’s hiding under the tag on the lid. However, the ideal of red Glyptol lining the oil basin is calling to me after someone made the comment earlier. In the end, it’s your tool and should make it whatever turns you on. We’ll figure out a tag color scheme that compliments it.

[@BrickTactical]

Sending prayers your way Adam! You will take it like a champ!

[@samjordan8525]

Adam my dad had one of those when I was a kid In the 50s. He sometimes would let me sharpen a knife, he was a butcher. The cast part was machine green the cover was black. Best to you.

[@kenwolfe6093]

What ever color you decide on, please use epoxy paint so the oil doesn’t kill it. Or a good black that will work is POR-15. Another coating like used on the inside of machines is Glyptol. Good luck with your surgery....most of all, don’t go nuts doing stuff afterward!

[@felixar90]

Good luck with the surgery. I can't wait to see that oilstone restored!

[@ScottandTera]

best wished for your surgery and recovery. you have an awesome family and with a mom like yours your in great hands

[@accuracymark]

Adam my daughter was born on the 19 of June, one of the best days of my life. Your 19 day this June will be a great day!

[@marctennill8367]

Adam good luck with your procedure we’ll keep you in our prayers. Loved the shaper cam at the end....mesmerizing!

[@Marcywm42]

I love the history and context of the old school tools. Excellent!

[@josephwilson6651]

It is your tool and you have to look at it every time you use it so make it pleasing to your eye,or why not ask Abby after all she's picked you so she has some sense of what you enjoy color scheme wise, and it can't hurt to have something she helped you out with in the shop.Just thinking she's a terrific woman who's made you happy so why not have a tool she helped you with in the shop.

[@barrygerbracht5077]

Hammertone green like an old toolbox. Best wishes for your surgery.

[@melwhitney5823]

Hey Adam good Luck on your surgery and hope you have a speedy recovery! Thanks also for all the great videos>

[@cobusventer7756]

I enjoy your channel and learned a lot. Best of luck with your surgery and recovery. Best wishes from South African Viewer

[@wildtimbrown]

Cool find Adam. Hey, good luck with your "work". I've had more than my fair share of time under the knife and its never fun. But you have to do what you have to do and with your attitude and your family (and Abby) at your side I am sure that you will be fine. You have a pretty darn big auxiliary family all pulling for you too! See you on the other side brother.

[@johnbonner922]

Cool find on the oil bath sharpening stone Adam! Nice work on the straight edge.You are blessed to have such great followers and friends. Cool vice as well! Praying for your complete and quick recovery. :o)

[@saartal4524]

Dark grey sounds awesome... Wonderful old tool.

[@OffAndOnTheRange]

I'd vote for a repainting in green. I love to see things being brought back to what they were.

[@sportytone1]

I've had 2 major surgeries; An amputation & removal of my large bowel due to sepsis. Worrying is natural. Family is the biggest asset you can have at this time. Good Luck!

[@3693G]

You're going to be fine under the knife, mate. The cuts you are used to making are 100x more precise than anything a surgeon will ever have to make.

[@ThadEGinathom]

YetAnotherBestWishes! Surgery is great when you need it. I am very thankful to a couple of surgeons. And, yes, pretty nurses :)

[@reallycoooool]

We’ll think of you! You’ll be in the care of the most capable people. When it comes to being a surgical patient I actually have some experience troughout my life, actually from I was seven years old, and each time i have had no complications. Get off the painrelief as quickly as you possibly can, and you will have done your part.

[@sithus1966]

I had never commented after seeing the original oil stone set. I have the same model oil stone set with the heavy metal base. Mine was an estate sale find for $5. I added pictures of mine to your facebook post.

[@Abom79]

Great find and price!

[@Polothy]

Hey Adam, I think i have a solution for future public decision making on your channel: How about ~ Shaper-Chip-Bingo ~ you only need some sort of a wooden spread sheet that you can lay on the floor in front of the shaper on which the chips can land on (that hopefully doesn't catches fire) and on whatever number the most chips land on wins. You could make the sheet double sided, one side that is divided into 2 or 4 quadrants for Yes and No decisions. And the other side with many subdivisions for maybe giveaways or so. Good luck with your surgery

[@jsmith6821]

Green is the only way to go for a 'restoration' project. I believe that, given the excellent condition of this tool, it is worth the effort to do an accurate overall restoration as possible. This must include restoration of the colour to a finish that is as close to the original as possible. I suggest contacting Norton to see if they could help you with establishing the original colour, finish etc.

[@breethewithme]

You have my sympathies. Currently recovering from surgery myself. Helps to think that it gets better with a little time I think.

[@jeffreylewis145]

I did the sleeve surgery a few years ago. All positive.

[@DC73rr]

Here's to your speedy, and, healthy recovery. Good Luck with your recovery.

[@saartal4524]

Good luck with the surgery and a fast recovery. Take care Adam... And thanks for sharing.

[@grishguillotine43]

take care brother...hopefully all goes well in the surgery, my family will have you in our prayers

[@ghostwalker100]

i've had surgery before. best bit is you get some pretty nurses looking after you!! They do a very hard job those doctors and nurses and never get paid enough

[@BerndFelsche]

Part of my weekend's relaxation routine is watching SNS. Come back soon. Always lots of little things to take care of while recovering. Don't rush it. As for the restoration colour; my opinion is to match it to the G&E

[@Americanmade1997]

Love these videos. Makes me excited to get back to school and back in the shop on Mondays.

[@youngmuttley]

Keep it green, best wishes and speedy recovery.

[@andrewdelahee2674]

Adam from what you describing your going to have hernia surgery it's not as bad as some people can make it first I just had it done in October first 3 days sucked but just take it easy and walking helped me alot after good luck hope we get a good report after

[@williamjohnson2896]

Adam, I had a gastric sleeve with duodenal switch and a hernia repair all at the same time December 2016, recovery was so easy I was amazed at 68 years old, no pain no nothing! Lost 145 lbs since then with no problems. Hope you do as well with whatever you are having done.

[@morbid6six6]

I hope everything goes well. Take the time you need, to make you healthy, and improve your quality of life.

[@glencsiro]

All the best mate, surgery is scary but they know what they’re doing. Rest up and heal quick mate.

[@janvisser2223]

My best wishes for you Adam, and i wish you a quick recovery as well. The cast tri-stone Norton case is an awesome find. I would go for a high gloss green epoxy coating on the case No paint on the alu cover, just polish it. But its yours, so we will see what the final result will be.

[@ChrisB257]

All best for the surgery Adam - should be something well dealt with. Be thinking of you. :) That's one beefy old vise!

[@rosswaring2835]

Best wishes for your surgery tomorrow Adam. Abby will look after you just fine, I’m sure!

[@georgegeller1902]

[@bxmachine]

Great SNS Adam. Hope all goes well, we're thinking of you over here in England. Please keep us posted on your progress.

[@justinl.3587]

Take care, Adam. Best wishes!

[@robertevans6481]

Wish a fast a safe surgery. As well as a easy recovery. On the vise black with the white highlights on the letters would be cool, but its your call. Have a great weekend you and Abby

[@olevjorgensen]

I wish you all the best of luck with your admissions Adam, and I hope you will get a quick recovery.

[@JohnClutch1]

Good luck with the op! My vote is original green. It will look great with the aluminum plate with brass rivets (assuming the plate had a natural finish to it)

[@delpatten3479]

Good luck w the surgery. I'm glad you're taking care of yourself because we would certainly miss your presence on utube. Again,good luch and best wishes.

[@elchuco00]

I wish you a speedy recovery my friend. I just had surgery myself ufff. I decited to go back and touch up my circumcition...it was a little off on the left and was messing with my mojo a tad. Best wishes and we will be here waiting for your return take care!!!

[@JRD77VET]

Some nice vintage tools you got there Adam. Best of luck on Tuesday. Jeff

[@zoomdoom8597]

Much love brother hope all went well

[@erikjoven2388]

Awesome find - I would 100% do either a green or grey hammer-tone paintjob on that. Would look really cool.

[@michaelhansen1675]

Paint this thing the color that you want, after all it is yours!!!! If some one doesn’t like it tuff, it’s yours.

[@williamthrasher8540]

it is yours make what color you like. I think making it the same color as the other one makes since. Also best of luck on your surgery.

[@shogun2215]

I'd say either black or grey. They would look awesome on the cast iron.

[@rockwell6594]

Adam’s Multi-Oil Stone tool is shown on Page 16 of the Norton catalogue No 17 from 1935. It was available in a two stone version (IM-211 Wt 23 lbs $12) and Adam’s three stone version (IM-313 Wt 32 lbs $16). Judging from the B&W photo, it was not painted in a particularly dark colour. For the three stone design, the Norton Parent company, Behr-Manning Corp was granted patent No US1946968A with priority date 6 May 1933 and a grant date of 13 Feb 1934. Inventor: Francis E Gallagher . The patent claims are voluminous, but the gist seems to be that it provided multiple stones and a means of indexing them for convenient use. The Norton catalogue states: “A complete sharpening service of outstanding merit for meat markets, hotels, restaurants, carpenter shops, cutlery factories, pattern and cabinet making shops. Features-Genuine Norton Alundum and Crystolon stones, prefilled with oil, which should not be confused with soft, dry stones which absorb oil like a sponge. Extra large size 11" x 2 1/2" permits a full sweeping stroke. Stones are reversible thus providing use of both sides. Always in a bath of oil which prevents glazing and promotes fast, smooth sharpening. Stone in use is elevated to prevent cuts and grazed knuckles. They are self-leveling. Simply lift, turn and reset. Case finely finished with extra heavy non-skid base insuring rigidity.” My vote is to paint it the original colour. Good luck Adam. ia801900.us.archive.org/18/items/NortonOilstonesAbrasiveSpecialities1935/Norton%20Oilstones%20Abrasive%20Specialties%201935.pdf patents.google.com/patent/US1946968A/en

[@Abom79]

Yea another friend of mine sent me some pictures of his 1944 catalog showing it listed for $16. 👍🏻

[@rockwell6594]

Adam, further below is the link to the patent on the more modern version of the Multi-Oilstone that you inherited from your father. Again, the assignee is the Norton parent company, Behr-Manning Corp, with a priority data 5 May 1949 and grant date 26 June 1951. All of that suggests that your cast iron version dates from somewhere between 1934 and about 1949. If it was made before its patent grant date in 1934, then presumably the tag would say “patent pending”. The cast iron version should last forever. I am not so sure about the later model with synthetic resin parts. I am guessing that it is probably made with Bakelite or similar, which lasts well but it is quite brittle. Once again good luck and best wishes for a speedy recovery. I have had a bit of practice in that department. patents.google.com/patent/US2558325A/en

[@BentTreeFarmPa]

If it's what I talked to you about on Patreon, you will be much better off in the long run buddy! Good luck and God bless!

[@samcrawford53]

Just like you have your fathers and grandfather's old tools i have started my own collection of my fathers all the way to my great grandads tools. Most well nearly all are moore and wright and have lasted for ever. Something to add to your BIG tools is my grandads 24inch moore and wright engineers square in its original box its absolutly immaculate. Regards from the UK

[@alhagopian2100]

Adam You will be fine. Good luck. Recover soon.

[@driver_cl]

Best wishes for the surgery !

[@marks5603]

Hammer-tone grey on your tri-stone base. That's the color of the finger prints you'll leave on it. It'll always look clean! Good luck and heal fast my friend.

[@watermanone7567]

Good luck and prayers for your operation. Thanks for the video's.

[@pierheadjump]

I sailed on a tug with that NORTON IM3 system, it had sit in a galley cabinet for some time and needed a clean - I took the stones out gave it a good scrub with a small wire brush & 3M pad then tossed the whole lot into the HD dishwasher & it looked like brand new when it came out of the dishwasher.

[@jamesstanlake4064]

My vote for color would be classic black but add gold or brass striping on it. I have seen and used the plastic ones in the mid 60's so I know the metal one predates the mid 60's. Again you will be in my thoughts with your medical procedure and my hope is for a swift and safe recovery. Keep up the great content, the weekends have become a Abom ritual for me.

[@stuarthardy4626]

Adam they will look after you just fine I was rushed into a & e in December with a burst appendix , but it also had some C involved lost a bit of the plumbing I was on the table for 5 hours , six days later I was back home , biggest surprise was one of the night nurses it was the person that played eve moneypenny in the James Bond , Naomi

[@poppabob69]

Good luck with your surgery, Adam. Speedy recovery.

[@geneintn1906]

hoping for a fast recovery and excellent as always.......

[@ThAtGuY-u9d]

You should have it powder coated black wrinkle. So it has that cool vintage tool finish.

[@SpencerWebb]

J Hueth Yes!

[@MoonShine07]

I think that would look nice in that green hammer finish paint will be a good finish and still have that old look!!

[@BeachsideHank]

I picked up a Norton, like the phenolic one you have for $20 off Craigslist. I had no real use for it and sold it to a fellow who wanted one just like it for his son who was a woodcarver. The coarse and medium stones had about 75% wear, the fine had none. It can also be used with food grade oil to sharpen kitchen cutlery, the secret to food grade oil? Mineral oil, good for unclogging your plumbing too.☺

[@MisterFiddle]

Good luck with your surgery Adam. You're in my thoughts.

[@joelkton1]

Adam, I'll be thinking of you tomorrow. Get yourself a pile of machining books for your down time!

[@tarjeidavidsen7611]

I think I can guess the procedure, I've had a few friends go through the same, it worked wonders for them too in improving their quality of life. Best wishes from Norway!

[@sandrammer]

Keep in mind that if you paint the body a color that you have a bunch of (like your lathe) when you put it up on a shelf it may not be contrasted enough to stand out. Paint it red, you'll find it quickly.

[@gregred78]

green because it the original color and also my favorite!

[@Semnyi]

@abom79 I would like to see it cleaned and clear coated. also a duo tone black base or green and grey like the shaper.

[@YYanchev]

Good luck and wish you good luck. Everything will be fine.

[@smithjones1906]

Have you been watching mrpete222's drill grinder series? I'd do that color green, it would look vintage and neato. If you deviate from a green color I say... custom flame paint job so it will look fast!

[@flyingpictures1100]

Thanks Adam, love that stone holder and I am surprised I have not come across one here in OZ, its such a great idea. I am going to look around some see if I can find one.
