Man I respect these old timers and their lived experience, knowledge and hard work

[@candace3676]

Cy Swan is a man among men, a hero and a man to emulate, like Scott. Thank you for sharing Cy, thank you for sharing ANYTHING. It is all appreciated. Mr. Sweetie likes Cy's approach to shop organizational management. How wonderful to have friends like Cy and Ken. Merry, merry Christmas to all including Cy.

[@davidbramel345]

I could listen to Cy for hours!!

[@lheigert]

Did you see his smile as he talked about picking up the hammer in a rain storm?

[@rustbeltmachine]

Awesome video. Thank you Scott and Cy for making this about a beautiful tool. I'm sure I'm not alone when I say I could listen to Cy tell stories all day.

[@ThomasLips]

Thanks for sharing that piece of history with us, Cy!

[@WayneSmith-yf3fg]

Thanks for getting Sy to tell us about this. Even @ 76 I enjoy getting the knowledge from "The OLd Timers".

[@candace3676]

Older-than-me timers, lol

[@jollyroger6258]

Getting out in the world, meeting experienced people and learning all the different things they do with their lives is a valuable education. If you can't get out for whatever reason, watching videos like this is an excellent alternative.

[@sovaan5825]

impressive hammer, Will Stelter restored one with a clutch like this a few month ago and it was impressive to see all the component that worked together

[@davidricketts6985]

Wonderful.. what a great old man.

[@roba379]

Any Cy Swann content is GOLD. So much knowledge!

[@feelthepayne88]

Always happy to see Cy on the channel!😁

[@beaubruce6033]

Hammer like that is what dreams are made of for an aspiring blacksmith

[@evilgrin123]

A wonderful man and machine.

[@davidrush8283]

$6,000 in 2005 is equivalent in purchasing power to about $9,452.26 today, an increase of $3,452.26 over 18 years.

[@jamesbarisitz4794]

That's a great hammer Cy. That sounded like a hairy trip getting it to your shop!

[@gtbkts]

Thank you for all the awesome content and amazing videos!!!

[@robertfuller4721]

I remember that Strom Sy.

[@joshhowes7514]

You guys on the east coast or just inland. The front loader trucks are badass when you have a good driver. Don’t need a chute man

[@HandymanHultman]

"Greese is a lot cheaper than parts" ❤

[@AlanTheBeast100]

Cy may be referring to the "Creusot steam hammer" - article in Wikipedia.

[@Michael-zn9rn]

Very cool hammer

[@nickjohnson5291]

one day I'll have one.

[@xoxo2008oxox]

Le Creusot Steam Hammer....

[@snomofilms]

That’s gotta be the quickest way to get hammered

[@skateinspace]

always judge a man by the size of his hammer, youll know exactly what he does!

[@york806]

Got to be more than 400#

[@thunderstruck1078]

Phenomenal story, but bad angles in the end. You gotta show the steel being shaped at all times.

[@ccamen]

The man will be buried with that power hammer.

[@AaronTureRonAbrahamsson157]

Yeah.😊

[@JohnSmith-ud9ex]

So good to see one of my favorite human beings up close and personal once again = ) Thank you Cy and thank you Nate.

[@nickbruni8041]

“ Grease is ALoT cheaper than parts “ Cy Swan

[@bhami]

19:20 😀

[@kylemanausa2315]

Always enjoy the videos with Cy! Such a remarkable man!

[@badcat4707]

Thank you Scott and Nate 🙏 getting to visit with Cy Swan is like getting an early Christmas present 🎄🎁🎉😸😺 he's a living Legend ! 🙏🙏

[@BruceS42]

It's always so cool to see Cy working, and explaining things. He's one of those who hasn't just "done it all", but is an inspiration to others to also do more. In a world of "toxic masculinity" and other vicious anti-human narratives, we need more people like Cy, and more people inspired by people like Cy. I'm proud to have a knife he made, and to use it. It's not a museum piece to be viewed and revered, but a tool to be used and respected, with a nod to the maker.

[@johnniecarter3013]

I would give up my vacation for the year to spend a long afternoon talking to Cy. More realistically listening to Cy. Scott and Nate thank you so much for letting us get to know a sliver of Cy!!!!

[@dannystark2769]

Cy’s Beaudry is a Champion model 11 # 400. The only bigger Beaudry is the model 11 it is a # 500. There is probably more information available online for this brand of power hammer than any other ever constructed.

[@pamelah6431]

Cy reminds me so much of my grandpa. Sure do miss him. Thanks for the video. :)

[@oafhuck6637]

real people, real stories. so so refreshing. thank you .

[@robertseguin4875]

Cy is quite the character, what an interesting fellow, thanks for sharing, He is the principal of "old school"

[@audiobuff]

Nate, I went through that ice storm in OKC, & 2 more. 12 days w/out power and keeping a college with generator power is a challenge. Now days students ask how long until we get the wifi back on line.

[@bigchew3149]

Glad To See CY Again... Need More Cy...He Reminds me of my Grand paw /Uncles That i Grew Up Around & When They Talk You Shut Up & Listen !..lol.

[@chuckT479]

There is a lot of wisdom in this video.

[@dianasweetpea2561]

I was thinking about Cy yesterday, thanks for having him on.

[@mrkrause3]

Keep the Cy videos coming!

[@liquidminddesign1367]

Yup...Jan '05 was a nasty one! In OK it didn't come down as snow. Fell wet, and froze on impact. Just about broke off every tree limb in the state!

[@AirfixLtd]

What a guy! He absolutely tames that beast. Thanks for sharing this brilliant slice of history. 👏👍

[@gabewhisen3446]

He not only can expert blacksmith , he knows exactly how the machine tools operate mechanically, I guess that’s the difference between an expert and master

[@mackfisher4487]

"If it doesn't work get a bigger hammer" or In many cases measure correctly. Thanks Nate, for the video neat stuff

[@DireWolfForge]

Cy is one of the last of the old breed. Love hearing his stories.

[@russphillips835]

Get as much filmed of him while you can. National treasure.

[@Wild_Bill57]

Cy is absolutely one of the most interesting personalities on the internet. No brag, just fact, a real truth speaker.

[@HogshooterHotrods]

That is one impressive hammer for sure! I have worked in Tulsa at the tech school for 23 years, we missed 2 week of school during that ice storm! Cy is a true American craftsman for sure!!

[@jonnyfischer4035]

I think will stelter has a view videos on restoring a powerhammer like this with a clutch good content thank you cy

[@rlhorvath8456]

Thank you Cy, Thank you EC1, EC2. That gentleman should be declared a national treasure.

[@lonewolfeman]

I wish my dad could have met Cy they are kindred spirits, thanks for sharing.

[@ChristmasLightsTonight]

Cy talking about his buddy slipping and falling on his ass is the smiliest I've seen him in any of his appearances on this channel

[@phelandeluna5439]

I can't wait to get my hands on one of Cy's creations! It will be like having a piece of HIStory .

[@ClintsHobbiesDIY]

Very interesting vid. Thanks for sharing.

[@Pcj74049]

Younger then??? He was 70 when he went to get the hammer.

[@candace3676]

take a point, right?

[@deathsromath]

This guys probably got another 10 or maybe 12 months left huh

[@Vendettanjm]

This is the best drinking game ever. This must become a regular format.

[@robertblacksmith4355]

Great story reminds me of my dad's Blacksmith shop he worked in back in the 1970s

[@TooTall553]

Very informative video Cy show your smarts and wisdom 👏 😮

[@bhaktapeter3501]

He is very patient to speak on camera like this. Thank you

[@jasonbowers4388]

Someone should install some remote grease fittings to keep him off the ladder.

[@GibClark]

👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@commodorejones1702]

The world need more cu swans

[@nickbruni8041]

Of Man & Machine ✊🏼

[@ToolsandTime]

Cool hammer and amazing man!

[@SebastianSculpts]

Doesn’t Will Stelter have the same one?

[@z06doc86]

They don’t make many men like Cy Swan anymore.

[@pamelah6431]

Or men in general.

[@justinriley8651]

wonderful! like it 👍

[@samsinterests]

Love this kind of video

[@ManambeLavaka]

Is it 400 lbs or 7500 lbs?

[@davidc9135]

Awesome

[@tristanconnolly5675]

Nice.

[@bjhunt4ever]

Love watching all your videos and love hearing all of Cy’s stories. I’m from Oklahoma and remember that storm. I was the safety director for a trucking company and most of the state was without power for close to a week. Our trucks were parked for many days. One of the main reasons we bought a wood burning stove for our house so we could keep warm if something like that ever happened again.

[@Z-Bart]

I clicked the link to Cy's knives. Didn't work though. :(

[@MrElemonator]

CY was apart of that classical era that produced so much creativity. The creativity is still there it's just necessity is the mother of invention and we don't really have to struggle much that stimulates creativity. Might be why cannabis stimulates creativity because it puts a stress on the body.

[@51-FS]

The ice storm was in 2007

[@mikev.1034]

👍👍. I was born in Cambridge, MA.

[@matthewmays9203]

Just the other day I was wondering how cy had been doing, glad to see a new video with him!

[@TheUncleRuckus]

Love to see Cy make an appearance! 👏👏

[@AdamPytlik-rz8og]

Dude’s got a beeper

[@jwiereng]

5:26 Seven yards?!!

[@Kralphrn]

Cy ios a real treasure!

Jesse James said his power hammer makes the blood shoot out from under his fingernails REAL good. !

[@joecahill8165]

7 yrds on concrete under it… “When I start it up, I’ll show you..” Start er’ up!

[@jonasio2]

@ Essential Craftsman - Have you all seen @Will Stetler's Beaudry power hammer? I feel like you all and Cy should meet up just because of the hammers. He runs his with a clutch, but modified. Good stuff! I love hearing Cy's stories! Be well.
