Nice to see you get out and do some things with someone you like. Working in two shops day after day just gets you old. You'll be 60 before you know it. Enjoy the ride!
A very nice video of Fort Gains, Alabama, USA which is enough to visualize the times back then. Thank you Adam for sharing the video and for the efforts you put in. God Bless.
Thanks for the plug on the masonry work. My son is a baker so he would like #14. Long handle shovel to clean out ovens. Everything went through the same opening; fuel, dough, bread came out and clean up. They would build a fire right in the area to heat then shove the fire to the back to make room for the bake goods. Thank you very much for the tour. Greg
The Abom size cannons are 40# Parrot Rifles. Another has already mentioned them. Ten and twenty pounders were field artillery, especially the 10#ers, they were pretty common. Rifles fired bullett shaped projectiles. The cannon on a carriage inside was a 12# Mountain Howitzer. It fired a 12# round projectile and the cannon was a smooth bore. Howitzers had a smaller diameter chamber than the bore diameter and the powder charge, which was in a bag, was small and fit into that chamber. The bag was attached to the around projectile by a wooden disband straps were attached to eh disk to strap the projectile. I used to build full scale fireable Civil War artillery.
Adom Good to see you in something other than black. Thanks for taking us with you on the trip. I love all the brick work, must have taken years to build. Mark
Another interesting and super video, Adam! I love history! I think it's really cool to learn where we came from and how things were like back then. Thanks to you and Abby for an enjoyable video! Have a good one! Dave
I have never seen anything like this Fort Gains and the massive amount of brick work. Thank you for taking the videos of these adventures and to hell with the folks that don't like them. The title is really self explanatory......if your looking for the shop videos, READ the title!! Keep on keeping on Adam, you do live an interesting life, thank you for sharing the stuff you do.
Thank you Adam and Abby for sharing your adventure. I like your style and narrations and looking forward to seeing your next adventure. The brick groin vault was very impressive and a style you don't see very often.
On cannons of that era, you can find the build date stamped either on the end of a trunnion, or on the muzzle. The first one you went by up top of the fort was 1832.
I'm learning a lot about the southern states of America. Thanks for sharing Adam and Hi to Abby. It looked like a great way to spend the day, Beautifull sea views a bit of history and I expect you ate a good meal too LOL
Hollis Inman I added those to help with the production andcmake it easier for the viewer to read. The duration of those are normally 10 seconds so the viewer can pause to read it all.
Lets go to work. Those cannons need signature ABOM Steel Rollers. And you are not the first. Obviousley the mad cannon guys were there bevore: Jim Bollinger, Jimmy Diresta, John Saunders and the others. The Museum is full of their stuff LOL.
Stay safe Adam, I know you folks are getting lots of rain up your way with the most recent storm, we've had almost 30" the past 10 days in Gainesville and it continues to rain daily! Love the video, keep them coming!
Had a buddy that would get lost when we went to car swap meets, etc. So we put a brightly colored hat on him so we could spot him amongst the crowd. Abby's bright colored shoes reminds me of that, in a friendly way. LOL
entire neighborhoods lost to storms..and here is this fort. We are all wimps today. Maine did the same thing for me.. hardly restored, several hundred years. Lots of rock and bricks.
Adam - Another interesting and fun tour. Enjoyed the history. Other youtube creators should do the same as you, and show some of their local historical sites. There are quite a few people from around the country, and would be very interesting to see.
thanks for the video! Nicely done. It's like a midweek mini vacation for me. do you know how they elevated the cannons? Was it too early a time period for hydraulics? I hope you and Abby are safe from the storm.
Hi Adam and Abbey. I live just outside of Vancouver BC. I have been to Fort Casey, Wash. and they have the same popup guns that you have shown. I think that the east and west coasts were protected in the same way, all up and down both coasts. regards Bruce PS have a great time at the bash.
If you're ever in the Pacific North West there are some surviving disappearing guns at Fort Casey near Keystone Washington close to where you catch the ferry to Port Townsend.
Here in Melbourne Australia at the entrance to Port Phillip Bay there is an old Fort named Fort Queenscliff there were four 6 inch disappearing guns protecting the entrance to the bay, and further up the bay there was an 8 inch one which was later moved to the Fort as well, pictured in the link below. www.tripadvisor.com.au/LocationPhotoDirectLink-g552246-d2011529-i135945926-Fort_Queenscliff_Museum-Queenscliff_Victoria.html
Yeah what exactly is not to like! Thumbs up, full speed ahead and damn the torpedoes Adam, thank you! This is not a video about a product that you may or may not like, or a political statement that you may or may not agree with. Its a fun day out! What no ice cream, is that the problem, where’s the freaking ice cream Adam is that too much trouble!
Thanks for sharing Adam. I'm digging your lady friends shoes. My wife will not let me get a pair of hot pink shoes. I have a shirt that color and I'm Abom size so,, that's a lot of hot pink.
Abby ? A Women ? With' attributes '? AND she points out where the (what my missus calls) the rusty bits of metal are to be found? That's a keeper ! Toodles!! Paddy
Thanks Abby and Adam once again a great adventure.
Those brick arched ceilings were pretty impressive.
Yes they were, amazing work!
Thanks Adam, it's always nice to see the both of you enjoying time together and getting to see things we probably will never get to experience.
Nice to see you get out and do some things with someone you like. Working in two shops day after day just gets you old. You'll be 60 before you know it. Enjoy the ride!

I am so happy for you two!
Really cool tour, Adam. Thanks for taking us along in video form - enjoyed it!

Have a good one!
Dave
I like these videos! Get to see places I can't afford to see in person! If you ever get a chance to visit Oregon you should visit Fort Stevens.
Very nice Adam didn't know that was there. Thanks for sharing.
Being a brickmason, I loved seeing this video. Thanks.
Thanks for taking the time to share it with us all, nice to see great stuff you two stay lucky
Hi Adam . Thanks for posting this video . Really enjoyed it and all your other videos. It's great to see places i might never get to see.
I wish the eastbound traffic thru the tunnel was that clear always congested..lol..enjoyed Adam ,I have visited the fort several Times
Nice piece of history! Thanks for the video!
Very nice tour Adam. Those brick arches were amazing, and yeah, the first thing I thought when I saw the oven was "I wish I had that in my house".
N Ferraro Me too!
Great tour.
Thanks Abby and Adam for a excellent video looks like a real relaxing trip, like seeing those old forts
Very cool place 👍
Good video Adam. Mary and I are talking about coming down this winter .
Mike Nixon Good place to visit and see.
I came here via BigClive and then AvE. Thank you for your videos!
Really impressive to think of them making all that brick by hand. Building those forts was quite some job back in the day!
I know and they did a great jobs with all that construction. Tooks years to build them.

Stills of the placards are a perfect addition, still need pause, slow reader. Thanks
Hollis Inman I added those to help with the production andcmake it easier for the viewer to read. The duration of those are normally 10 seconds so the viewer can pause to read it all.
Gave you a thumbs up.You deserve it !
That place has a +200% buff to gainz when working out.
Another good video!
I like the way you zoomed in on the plaques and gave us time to read them. Makes me feel like I was there with you,
Yea i did that to try and help out the viewer. i snap a picture then add it to the video.
well done video..
thanks, staying in orange beach this summer. might have to take a day trip and hit up that ferry. or at least Fort Morgan.
Good stuff man!
Lets go to work. Those cannons need signature ABOM Steel Rollers.
And you are not the first. Obviousley the mad cannon guys were there bevore: Jim Bollinger, Jimmy Diresta, John Saunders and the others. The Museum is full of their stuff LOL.
Stay safe Adam, I know you folks are getting lots of rain up your way with the most recent storm, we've had almost 30" the past 10 days in Gainesville and it continues to rain daily! Love the video, keep them coming!
Been raining all week from this storm.
sweet home alabama
Had a buddy that would get lost when we went to car swap meets, etc. So we put a brightly colored hat on him so we could spot him amongst the crowd. Abby's bright colored shoes reminds me of that, in a friendly way. LOL
Abby likes her colorful shoes!
Another very interesting trip, thanks for taking me to places I would otherwise never get to see. ps. I enjoy all your content
Hi Adam ,When are you going to make a model canon like what the fort has?
Looks like they put some of the Smiths to work in that blacksmith shop and make some new wheels for that cannon.
entire neighborhoods lost to storms..and here is this fort. We are all wimps today. Maine did the same thing for me.. hardly restored, several hundred years. Lots of rock and bricks.
200 years worth of hurricanes too
Enjoyed the tour. BTW, at least in all army post while I was in (in the 60's) the latrines were like the one you showed, expect weren''t wood.
Adam - Another interesting and fun tour. Enjoyed the history. Other youtube creators should do the same as you, and show some of their local historical sites. There are quite a few people from around the country, and would be very interesting to see.
I agree, would be cool to see some other places on the other channels.
What a *cute* couple!
Hey Adam, why is Pretty Abby so camera shy? Great video, good Ole' American History. Keep em' comin'.
black03hummer I'm working on her
thanks for the video! Nicely done. It's like a midweek mini vacation for me. do you know how they elevated the cannons? Was it too early a time period for hydraulics? I hope you and Abby are safe from the storm.
Well it's a thumb's up for me. Sad thou that the blacksmith shop was not open.
Open three days a week, and we visited on a Sunday when he's not working it.
Hi Adam and Abbey. I live just outside of Vancouver BC. I have been to Fort Casey, Wash. and they have the same popup guns that you have shown. I think that the east and west coasts were protected in the same way, all up and down both coasts. regards Bruce
PS have a great time at the bash.
bruce connor Fort Stevens in Oregon has one of the Pop Up guns still in place it is Massive lol
Yes the entire US has a coastal fort system, lots of them still in place all over.
blacksmith shop was closed when we went there also.
The people told me the blacksmith comes in Monday, wednesday, and Saturday.
If you're ever in the Pacific North West there are some surviving disappearing guns at Fort Casey near Keystone Washington close to where you catch the ferry to Port Townsend.
+Noel Henderson That would be great to see
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fort_Casey
ABBY & ( HER ) HAT -- LOOK MUCH BETTER !! :-)
How many bricks did it take to build that fort??
So flat. Any mountains in those parts?? I live in Alaska and we have mountains everywhere!
Enjoy seeing the local sites. You and Abby keep it up.
Hi Adam, not used to seeing you in a blue Tee shirt, Abomb is now little boy blue.
Had to change it up for the beach, felt good too.
Here in Melbourne Australia at the entrance to Port Phillip Bay there is an old Fort named Fort Queenscliff there were four 6 inch disappearing guns protecting the entrance to the bay, and further up the bay there was an 8 inch one which was later moved to the Fort as well, pictured in the link below.

Doc Twiggenberry 14:30
Doc Twiggenberry For this Fort the info said the big guns were sold as scrap iron.
Yeah what exactly is not to like! Thumbs up, full speed ahead and damn the torpedoes Adam, thank you! This is not a video about a product that you may or may not like, or a political statement that you may or may not agree with. Its a fun day out! What no ice cream, is that the problem, where’s the freaking ice cream Adam is that too much trouble!
I decided to try a snow cone. Haven't had one in years and seeing them hand them out at that window, hard to resist. LOL
Thanks for sharing Adam. I'm digging your lady friends shoes. My wife will not let me get a pair of hot pink shoes. I have a shirt that color and I'm Abom size so,, that's a lot of hot pink.
