Thank you Keith!

Snow must a helluva lot worse when it's an exceptionally rare occurrence. I had never considered that it would melt when it hits the warm ground so that the entire bottom layer turns to ice. Your cat is certainly looking chagrined. Be glad it won't last long! -- Yours from Canada.

Anybody else go "omnomnomnomnom!" when machine tools are making heavy cuts? Just me? Okay then. Man, that Monarch lathe just eats whatever you throw at it, huh?

We used to get fairly harsh winters here in Germany, now I don’t even buy warm coats anymore. Crazy.

Keith, glad to see you enjoying the snow while it lasts. We have had snow on the ground here in southern Indiana for a couple of weeks, we are tired of it and hope it will melt over the weekend. Take care of yourself, no falls on ice.

Glad you're recovery is well on it way.

Thanks Keith!

Why would the vendor not do the burn-in at the factory? I guess they don't want to deprive you of the fun?

Today I want to call it a turtle.

Interesting oven setup. I am just wondering, if your circuit is rated at 20A and that is also what your oven can draw, I would guess you should be careful with what else you turn on while baking a pizza! 😀

A nice new tool for the shop. Thanks for sharing Keith!

Hey Keith I just picked up a hot shot 360 with the tap controller yesterday 1/24/25. I was able to pick mine up on my way home right from there warehouse. I found one of their scratch and dent so was not able to use your code, sorry. I was surprised to see your video this Saturday morning 1/25. I still need to burn mine in so was glad to watch your video in such a timely fashion. Enjoying many of your videos lately since you've "retired". Greg T

Our "cell phones" are quickly becoming important for OTHER THAN PHONE CALLS... I.E. reading the S/N of my TV cable box is impossible until I take pix with cell to then enlarge.

First off, glad your hand is healing well. And the new oven really looks great. Love to see how it does with the Argon gas. Finally I see you’re still getting that empty space at the end of your videos. Is this not visible on your editing software before you up load it to KZbin?

They sure do a nice job on those ovens. Thanks sharing Keith. Southern California. Could sure use some of that snow right now. Good to see you’re healing up quickly. ATB……

Again with the aggressive use of 64ths! They had to have done that on purpose. (Maybe so only they could sell you the parts.) Scale of 1-10, how bad of an idea would it be to try to screw a nut onto the bolt while it's turning on the lathe? I'm guessing it's like an 8 or 9...

As I told my Mother-in-law a couple of months ago - if we get snow, and you're not sure, stay home. I've been doing this for 50 years, and I can drive through nearly anything. I stay home when I don't have to drive. In the 80s I was at Fort Bragg and had a snowstorm. I had a good time driving in it, but I knew what I was doing. Plenty of folks in the ditches. You're smarter to stay home if you can.

We'll start by facing off the bottom of the snowman segment and chamfering the top edge. I want a final outside dimension of the lower segment of to be 24 inches. I plan the finishing layer to be .5 to 1 inch per revolutions in the snow.

Wow your house, shop and property is a dream for me. A dream I will newer achieve sadly.

Totally agree about that being a good-looking machine. Scraping could definitely be a decorative finish, as far as I'm concerned.

Hi Keith, awesome restoration!Not a criticism from an armchair viewer since I don't work with machining at all. What happens to the work part of the rollers since they're rusty looking? Is this going to be used for cane processing again?

Nice new toy

19:24 - Surprised the mfr doesn't do that prior to shipping to the customer.

What was that four minutes of black screen? Oops, more then likely. Just noting that I saw you playing Galaga! Na, kidding. Great show as always. Hopefully you ran the HVAC to exhaust the gas, even though the shop would be freezing in the morning. God leaves us to free will sometimes, so its best to protect against that.

Cool toy!

I'm in Western New York State . The temperature was -17 the other day. The coldest its been in years!

Adam Booth just published a snow day video, Jim probably could have made a shorter trip -- if it was really all about snow, which it probably was not.

Thanks Keith

Keith, can you send some of that snow up to Minnesota? We’re a little short this year.

👍

Glad to see you back! You got a little snow, would you like more? I can mail you some, we have plenty here hehe😁

Keith we get the ice up north too. I suspect that the northerners in southern ditches would be the same idiots in ditches up north. Just because we get snow and ice every year doesn't mean we don't also have chronic idiots as well. Every snow storm I see 4wds crashed because idiots either forget or never understood that 4wd helps you go in snow but you still have the same stopping power as a 2wd.

so what up you start working on stoker engine and then no posts??

Global warming what a scam 🤣😂

I hope Ginger didn’t have to stay in the shop with all that stink

Thank you for showing more of your beautiful property!

Great to see you healing so fast! Answered prayers are awesomeness Extreme! Toys sure are fun. Thanks Keith for sharing your personal life with us. Very cool seeing the kids playing in the snow making snowmen and angels.

Just goes to show that climate change is alive and well in your state as well.

Keith, Here Minneapolis we'll take that 4 1/2 inches if you take our -20 degrees (-40 windchill).

Parts of the Florida Pan Handle had upwards of 9 to 11 inches. Pind a Pizza stone for the top shelf so when You take stuff out you have a place to set Your heated piece.

Thanks Keith

Nice piece of equipment.🙂🙂

Haha sorry no sympathy here. I live in Pensacola. We got our 8” last Tuesday. The temps have been freezing ever since at least until today. Still dropping to freezing at night. I saw someone snow skiing on the beach! Brrrrrr

Great video Keith, the snow man was great, you get well soon.

I also agree. From the South means you know there is almost no chance of a snow plow or salt truck. Slippery icy roads are likely. Non Southerners may have an unrealistic expectation of road conditions based on their personal experience in other areas. But, most people are fast learners.

You're not to leave it unattended!!!

Hello from Nagoya Japan. Glad you’re healing up and thank you for the video.

Here in Michigan if we stayed home every time it snowed, we would be stuck at home for 4 months, luckily roads are kept plowed and salted pretty good

I'm quite surprised that you would wire a fairly heavy load (nearly 5kW) across a single phase of a 3 phase supply. I presume that fairly near by there is some sort of feeder transformer and it's not going to like such a heavy imbalance. What does your electric company have to say about unbalanced loads?

Ah to be young again... When the WNY Cold never seemed to an issue, we ran around all winter without gloves in wet shoes and open jackets when there was 4 to 5 feet of snow on the ground without a care in the world. 😂
