Anchors Away!

[@justinrutledge1221]

Ooh man Keith, it is so nice to see the smile and hear your chuckle again! I am glad to see you settling back in. You are back to making us feel like we are sitting in a chair right there in the shop again, and it is so welcoming.

[@KeithFenner]

Thanks so much

[@geoffmathieson2643]

"Sometimes I use it as a press" You've been missed Keith.

[@robertaccorsini4663]

Hi Keith, great to see you again. My wife and I went to the Cape for our Anniversary in 2015. I told her we have to go your shop while we’re up there. You were kind enough to invite us in and give us a tour. You even gave us a mermaid as a momento, which is proudly displayed over my work bench along with a “Gitter Done” sticker. My father in law was a machinist and he had a lathe in his basement. Just the smell of the equipment brought back wonderful memories of him and his skill. Thanks for the memories and welcome back!

[@ypaulbrown]

so happy to see you feeling great again Keith, you have been a big influence on me getting out of depressive rut and getting my neglected tools running again, for that I thank you so much, cheers from Orlando, Paul

[@DK-vx1zc]

You certainly have been busy! Looking good. Thanks for the update, glad you are well.

[@videolabguy]

Two Keith Fenner videos in one day? Could life ever get any better than this? I doubt it!

[@dondotson4604]

So glad to see what you are doing with the new shop.

[@TheClassicEngineer]

So nice to see you back Keith. I’ve been along since pretty much the start and have really missed your personality and content. I reckon loads of us will understand what you’ve been through and are coming out of, it’s tough, but as they say, what doesn’t kill us makes us stronger! Take care my friend and thanks again for the upload! Best wishes. Simon.

[@alex4alexn]

anchors away brother! I bought your plasma cut eagle and it is the coolest edition to my shop! So happy to have a part of you in my shop!

[@KeithFenner]

Awesome! Thank you!

[@404BYTE]

When the world needed him the most, He came back.

[@bluehornet6752]

Sweet old Monarch! Can't wait to see it throughout the "restoration" process, whatever that ends up being. Great to see you back and active again Keith--very much missed seeing your videos. You and Mrpete are the two guys that I'll basically stop whatever I'm doing, to watch one of your new videos. Glad life is leveling out a bit for you now.

[@moderndino]

I've watched many hours..... I'm glad to see new projects.

[@jeffreysmith8735]

I can't express strongly enough how happy I am to see you back! Been watching your channel religiously for years and was genuinely heart broken when I thought you might stop. Stick with it, if you feel bottomed out friends and fans will show you whats ahead and above.

[@KeithFenner]

Thank you so much 😊

[@loydsa]

So good to see you looking well Keith. Please remember that you are a wonderful person and greatly valued by so many of us. Best regards Sarah

[@outsidescrewball]

Enjoyed the visit with my friend…happy holidays

[@ChrisB257]

Excellent seeing you Keith. You've had a pretty heavy trip but seem to have a really great shop there.

[@robertjohnson8551]

Welcome back, good to hear your voice again and look forward to the videos.

[@bcbloc02]

Shop is looking good. I so agree about placing machines so that you will in the future be able to handle long materials on them as that always comes up in a job shop. The Monarch tracer attachments are extremely well made. If you take the bearings out be ready for about a day setting new ones back up as they are eccentric mounted so you can adjust for 0 clearance which on that many surfaces is a bit tedious. LOL

[@KeithFenner]

Very true!

[@thomasmitchell6921]

Thanks for your return Keith

[@mauricelevy9027]

It certainly sounds like the old Keith is back with us -Great ! I look forward to the major service on the "new" Monarch lathe too.

[@kenalford2538]

Thanks Keith, fantastic to see you back in your shop doing what you do, greetings from Spain!

[@davidstansbury3204]

And sometimes I use it for a press 😂 glad to see you. Thanks for your time and knowledge keep up the good work God bless

[@joeblumber9327]

You have helped me be a better home shop machinist. Great to hear you are getting back to the videos. I sure have missed you and I am glad you hadn't completely lost interest in letting your viewers know what you have been up to. Thanks for all the great videos you have done all ready and glad your personal issues are settled to a point you are feeling there is joy in life. Best to you!

[@shaolinshaotse]

Warms the soul to see that beautiful Cape sunset in the window and hear another “getter done” once more. Shop is looking beautiful, thanks for everything Keith!

[@TheTacktishion]

Welcome back....! "Good things are worth waiting for" We are ready to have FUN again....! Thanks for the shop update tour!!!

[@stephenvelasco5446]

Hey Keith. Thanks for coming back.

[@longcaster]

There is a lightness in your step, a smile on your face, and in your voice.

[@jacquespoirier9071]

Nice to see you back and in good shape the most important is to build your shop to suit your needs . It is important to be comfortable where you spend an important part of your life. At the age you' are, ( we are about the same age ) this shop is probably your last one so building it to feel at home is the way to go have a good day

[@KeithFenner]

Absolutely

[@lesthompson5907]

Nice shop it much tidier than mine, attritors , Slows one down some what Les England, well done

[@RickBaconsAdventures]

One good thing about having you move your entire shop after using it in one place for so long is that you knew exactly how to arrange everything! I'm impressed with how the placement all turned out in what seems like a space with lots of shapes to work around. Seems like the access and workflow is pretty great

[@paulbuckberry7683]

Nice to have you back Keith. Looking forward to Monarch project!

[@Armedlegally]

So glad to see you posting and the posts I love the most is the shop tours after a while has gone by. Life is great you can't forget to live it not just breathe shop air every single day. You're always a huge inspiration to us all out here watching. THANK YOU KEITH!

[@georgeescaped6035]

great to have you back !!! thanks !!!

[@davidduncan9024]

Glad I'm not alone in the finding things stakes. My trick seems to be finding the item I was looking for when looking for something else the next day . Great to hear your chuckle again, onwards and upwards !!

[@DPezzy19]

Glad to see you and hear you back at it. You are after all the man!

[@natwooding9394]

Good to see you back. It will be like when I was a kid watching my uncle work in his shop.

[@duanerock5294]

So happy you're back and enjoying life

[@joeclarke9782]

You're looking good. The shop is looking good. Thank the Good Lord and Merry Christmas.

[@KeithFenner]

Merry Christmas

[@jurorx]

Glad to have you back. I once was told it doesn't matter how many times life smacks you down, it is how many times you get up that counts. You can't keep a good man down.

[@terryjennings2356]

That Monarch would look so good with a fresh coat of paint.

[@KeithFenner]

Yes a clear coat!

[@EitriBrokkr]

And some times I use it for a press 😂 Its so good to hear your upbeat personality

[@terryjennings2356]

I laughed so hard at that I had to back it up and watch it again!

[@CiderRider57]

Greetings Keith from the east side of the pond. You have been missed for sure. It’s a relief to see you looking well & making excellent progress with sorting the layout & functionality of your shop. Anchors have a habit of dragging some, but with time and effort, it comes good 👍. I’m looking forward to seeing more videos of your projects, it’s something to look forward to & makes me smile 😊. All the best.

[@robcameron6995]

Good to see you back Keith. I am glad that you have got your life back. Keep up the good work and enjoy.

[@mikesargent8709]

Great to see you back and feeling so good! I'm looking forward from South Carolina to many videos coming soon. Thanks for the update.

[@AWDJRforYouTube]

Great shop update / tour YT video, and long time no see you Keith, THANKS for the update... I've been subscribed for ages!

[@KeithFenner]

Thanks for the sub

[@vastylebbq5203]

Thanks for sharing your work and all your effort. I recently got beyond a very difficult time ( more then three years) and the feeling of coming out of the tunnel into the sunshine is priceless. Please take care and keep enjoying life.

[@williamdavis5052]

Glad to see you back, enjoyed the shop tour & looking forward to the Monarch restoration

[@ironworkerfxr7105]

Glad your back,,,liberty and justice for all.....

[@georgepinder1329]

Great to see you back Keith .Thanks for all the excellent videos you have taught me so much thank you and all the best for the future

[@erichoff7926]

Wonderful to see you back and the shop looks great.

[@weldmachine]

Hey Keith. Like many others here. I have been watching you from the start. I must admit I have skipped a few videos along the way for different reasons ?? So my frequent watch count might be down a little from where it could be, LOL. Just watching you walking around the shop showing different things along the way. One that stuck out a little more than the others ? The Plasma Cam, already 10 years old now. Doesn't the time fly by ?? I still remember you setting it up at the old shop. You gave the feeling that this was like getting all your Christmas presents all at once. Great to see you here back on KZbin. I still prefer to watch you here, just a preference to where else you might like to post. Wish you all the best for what is coming up next in your shop and your life. Peter 👍

[@dans_Learning_Curve]

I thoroughly enjoyed this whole video! I do miss you on Facebook. Good to see you're alive and kicking!

[@ricko5123]

Good 2 see and hear you again Keith and those are choices you made on the platforms. Patriotism lives....Seeyah Bud, Ricko

[@steveofire56765]

Good to see you back! Shop looks great...well layed out

[@KeithFenner]

Thanks 👍

[@curtisvonepp4335]

Keith those Monarch LATHES are so sweet thats a KEEPER .

[@cherylfisher1782]

I was having withdrawal pains, soooooo glad your back,! I have learned so much from you on the lathe & mill operations.

[@Uncleroger1225]

Welcome back my friend , you and your experienced new missed.

[@gordbaker896]

Haven't seen you for awhile in 2021. Hope you are safe and healthy. Get your shots! Welcome back.

[@forresta65]

I was insulating my shop the other day. I was looking for my stapler and walked past it probably five times...I laughed so hard. The anchors can be bad but you get past them. thanks for the videos.

[@icu2bfun978]

Enjoy having you back, looking forward to your videos again

[@frag0mat1c]

Glad to see things have changed for you.

[@diegovianavillegas3297]

So happy for you Keith...you deserve the best and slowly but steady you're back on rails. Best wishes this Christmas.

[@frankward709]

Good to have you back Thanks for the video Frank

[@RandallMoore1955]

Can't keep a good man. I'll been with you pretty much from the beginning no need to stop now. Sure is good to see you. your friend from Ohio,

[@PhilG999]

Welcome back! Life goes on... I'm 63 as of Nov 21. Watching your vids and Adams make me wonder if I might have been better off becoming a Machinist instead of a Mechanical Engineer! Actually I HAVE spent a lot of time in machine shops over the years. Was easier to just build the thing myself instead of having to explain to somebody else what I needed... ;)

[@jacquespoirier9071]

same for me, I made my carrer as mechanical engineer and most of the time, it was easier to do the work myself than to explain it the the machinist

[@williammills5111]

Great to see you hitting on all cylinders, bro. Thanks for the update, looking forward to more great stuff!

[@mikedolman7056]

Well done Keith nice to have you back Somerset Mike.

[@bostedtap8399]

Great update Keith, it's amazing how familiar hundreds of thousands of people are with you and your machines 😀, and a great communicator. Thanks for sharing and all the best in the future. Best wishes from the UK.

[@KeithFenner]

Thanks 👍

[@johnporter8896]

Happy dance! Love it 😁

[@swanvalleymachineshop]

Hey Keith , good to see you are heading back on an even keel ! I have not been over to Mewe in ages , new shop build etc takes most of my time . Cheers .

[@davidrussell8689]

I think many of us have been missing you . Looking forward to watching and learning once again .

[@patrickcolahan7499]

Keith, I have always enjoyed your videos and watching you work. Love the layout of the shop. So sorry to hear that you have had to deal with life's issues. It can most definitely pull one down and become a disambiguating as a cancer. I hope that everything gets better for you.

[@samrodian919]

Good to see you back Keith, love the shop tour. It's looking great! Cheers from the UK and you and yours stay safe mete

[@deltamachine2059]

There he is..congratulations on kicking fb!! I've been clean off it for 8 years now. Lol

[@tinkermouse-scottrussell3738]

Great to see you again Keith!

[@davidneilson3508]

Glad to see you back Keith. I really love your channel.👍👍😊

[@jimfrits334]

One of the greatest things about you Keith is that you are a true patriot. I'm a navy veteran from the Vietnam era home ported in San Diego. I can appreciate your history with the navy. Most of us know what's going on with our tyrannical government now and completely understand and agree with you on the first amendment statement.

[@mikekellam365]

Welcome BACK!! Great to see you're in good spirits, excited and looking forward to seeing some new content!!

[@KeithFenner]

Thank you!!

[@CraigLYoung]

[@nigesbasementworkshop9541]

I love your workshop, you brothers in The States have so much room, unlike us in the U.K which is getting smaller. I'm rebuilding a 2J Bridgeport too, though mine will be naked!!!

[@yt650]

You being back making videos is the best thing that’s happened to me so far today. When I say we have all missed you, we have all missed you.

[@Ken_in_Wisconsin]

Two hands on that tap handle Mister Fenner!! Glad to see you back.
