I do the whole shop at one time while playing "Dancing on the Ceiling" by Lionel Richie. Morning Lyle.

[@venomnut3746]

A bit early for April fools

[@mudnducs]

😂😂

[@aerostaraircraftsanctuary604]

April uno- saw this short so went out to the shop, grabbed my South Bend 10K and flipped it upside down, Yea it works fine.😆🖖

[@leeroyholloway4277]

The wisdom of Solomon and the strength of Atlas. Happy Easter, Mr Pete.

[@mrpete222]

😄

[@bocody]

That was a quick one!

[@Thiswasmeanttobeeasy]

Best video I've seen tonight.

[@m9ovich785]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA You forgot a few pats to its Bottom. Thanks lyle.....

[@fixitmakeit]

amazing how clear is your narration , with your tongue so far against your cheek...

[@mrpete222]

Thank you! 😃

[@strongandco]

To think of all the hours I've wasted and the solution had been staring me in the face all these years 😄

[@rightwinggunslinger1]

Thank you for the tip! Lol. Blessings to you Mr. Pete.

[@NavinBetamax]

....YESSSSSS......and place it down EXACTLY on the Shavings & CHIPS !!!!

[@wrongtown]

That way they'll stay put 👍

[@mikejenson9823]

I can’t wait to see you clean the Clausing using the flip and shake technique 💪. You are the best Mr. Pete.

[@grendel1960a]

easy enough to achieve with my little unimat 3, but the 13" southbend- thats a bit trickier.

[@paulhunt598]

Happy Easter! Thank you for the humorous short.

[@stevebosun7410]

Thanks Mr Pete, if it wasn't a couple of days late, I would have thought it was an April Fools prank. Keep safe.

[@joemcgarry1106]

I do the same with my Bridgeport.

[@keithschwartz7318]

I always did this with all 10 of the lathes in my shop class. Kids were to lazy to do it themselves. Hope you have a good Easter. We’re having baked Spam and a box of Beatty Crocker potatoes for dinner.

[@mrpete222]

Spam the mystery meat

[@badinfluence8269]

I wish I give this more "LIKES".

[@noneofabove5586]

Best cleaning instructions ever !

[@ernerstowerdum3942]

Thank you. You can use a blower machine for cleaning computers. The presure reaches 5-7psi and removes chips without that chips enter the mecanism.

[@Duckfarmer27]

If you do the whole shop at once that way just remember to put it down facing the right direction - the foundation appreciates it.

[@tjr4744]

Not sure where we'd all be without your brutally honest advices .lol ... Keep 'em coming Mr Pete :)

[@mrpete222]

More to come!

[@ellieprice363]

Yes a very short one for sure. Now I’ll have to go listen to the old Jerry Lee Lewis classic “Whole Lotta Shaking Going On”. He sure could make that piano jump.

[@batch5626]

Meh!! You got me!! I just turned some Brazilian IPE hardwood on the Atlas and was like oh, I need to see this before I clean up the mess! Haha Happy Eater Mr. Pete!

[@trollforge]

That one you could throw into your denture cup with a couple Efferdent tablets... 😂

[@frankdoner8402]

Sweet, I never thought of that Mr. Pete. And that's why I always watch you.😊

[@sky4you2b]

Happy Easter

[@mudnducs]

Happy Easter to you and your family Lyle!!!

[@jamesstrawn6087]

At your age? Incredible. I am speechless.

[@renaissanceman7145]

I learn something new everyday!

[@britenrhodehouse8692]

There it is from the man himself. Now I don't want to hear anymore complaining from management about the daily charge from modern for the rest of my employment😂🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@floridaflywheelersantiquee7578]

Thanks for sharing Mr Pete

[@danbreyfogle8486]

I will try that on my table saw tomorrow, wish luck,,,, You made me laugh Mr. Pete....

[@catherineharris4746]

Brush and shop vac💜👏👏👍👍

[@bobweiram6321]

You should always have a small shopvac around.

[@johnnyrunyan1787]

That's the way my wife cleans the floors. Then it's up to me to clean the ceilings. Next time you do a tips segment, how about doing a series on bullet mold diy fabrication. 45 acp would be a good starting point. Our founding fathers would be proud!

[@ssboot5663]

Big chips for such a little machine! I need some help turning my South Bend 13 upside down every now and again. Happy Easter! He is risen!

[@edpopelas2844]

Great title screen!

[@mudnducs]

I don’t even want to meet the guy who can do that to my lathe…😎

[@be007]

i like to clean my lathe with a sandblaster, nice and uniform look everytime 🙂 cheers ben.

[@badinfluence8269]

I wish I could give this more"LIKES".

[@mrpete222]

👍

[@michaelhale4041]

Something else I need to make for my lathe. A lathe Rotisserie To clean it lol

[@mrpete222]

Yes

[@grntitan1]

I use the garden hose.

[@martinswiney2192]

Hi Mr. Pete. I think I may be one person that suggested this video. Exactly as I had imagined it. Too bad I cannot do that with my 26” LeBlond heavy duty lathe. 😂

[@mrpete222]

Thank you very much

[@jaybailey3518]

I'll have to build a big rotisserie for my lathe now !

[@hbracerx]

I never thought of this. It's a heavy lift, so I guess I'll have to fire up the tractor before it goes to the shop in April. First project I'll work on today;-)

[@Randysshop49548]

Good one Mr pete. Happy Easter

[@alexvonhoene1391]

I have a Taig lathe, similar to the Unimat. It's very often convenient that the lathe can be picked up and turned over or moved around! Strange rearrangements are possible too, like putting the tailstock behind the headstock, or removing the carriage for an odd drilling operation.

[@duron700r]

Perfection!

[@4supertigers]

Happy Resurrection Day Mr. Pete.

[@mitchstephen5491]

I just went out to the shop and tried your cleaning method with my 96” lodge and Shipley lathe and now my back hurts.😢

[@bheckel1]

shop vac works great too.

[@garychaiken808]

😂😂. Great job. Thank you 😊

[@pddpup7767]

hold on I gotta shake shake shake!

[@steveparker8723]

🤣🤣🤣🤣 Happy Easter

[@RRINTHESHOP]

Well done.

[@mrpete222]

Nice job on that hydraulic cylinder stop

[@MrUbiquitousTech]

My lathe is a 1908 American Tool Works 14x72, it's a mite heavy to pick up. I just wait for the earth's rotation to position us upside down instead. Saves on the back.

[@hughobrien4139]

I got a big kick out of this one. I know better than to use compressed air on any machine. Won’t claim perfection at that. I have a good friend two doors away. Keeps a tidy well organized shop. Tools where they’re supposed to be. It is nice. He is retired now. A well versed machinist with some tool and die making experience. He knows how to get me out of most of my neophyte jams and he allows me the use of some of his tools of the trade in my shop. In exchange he is free to machine what ever he needs to in my shop. He just doesn’t mess with it much anymore. He is always on me about organizing and cleaning. He is right. I just don’t have the time I need to keep at it 100%. One thing I noticed him doing in his shop was using a leaf blower to push out the cotton wood leaves and the associated fuzz. He made quick work out of all of it. Everything appeared to be nice and clean and dusted off. While he doesn’t have machines in his shop. He does have pneumatic tools that are handy. Finish and framing nailers even some brad nailers. We broke a few of them out for a project not too long ago. Every single one of them packed with dust and debris from the leaf blower cleaning. Anything that had oil protecting it was caked with fine Oklahoma silt. While he went at tearing them down to clean I walked back to my shop and opened up my storage bin that had some of my air nailers in them that had been stored a while. All of them worked just fine.

[@leybraith3561]

....I note that a similar beneficial effect can be demonstrated with electronic circuits by using a mechanical vibration platform, see EEVblog 1607 - PSU Switching Noise Reduction via Vibration....

[@ellieprice363]

Ultrasound will do it. Turn on your teenagers boom box for five minutes. Eureka it’s clean!

[@leybraith3561]

@@ellieprice363 itty bitty speakers in modern boom boxes create excellent cross modulation scouring rasters, perfect for rearranging all that swarf back into a miniature replica of the original billet. Astounding conservation of form at work. The mind of humanity has so many wonderful abilities. Today (April-1) should always be considered a special day for such things.

[@richardrogers567]

Yessir

[@adamchandler3162]

🤣🤣🤣well that’s one way 👍

[@redmorphius]

That’s how I clean my house

[@HandsOfManos]

❤

[@klingonbaronessprincesskar5519]

I use a brush on all my lathes and cloths from a few pounds to 8000 pounds

[@Olebull93]

"The trisolaros are just bugs" - nobody

[@w3vjp568]

I prefer to take mine out in the backyard and hit it with the hose. Then I toss it in the dryer for around 30 minutes to prevent rust.

[@mrpete222]

lol

[@DeuceReggs]

Mr Pete, Im am very interested in buying one of your Craftsman Machinist Chest I love the Craftsman ones.

[@cyclebuster]

takes me hours to clean 1/2 of my shop. Pretty messy. Have you ever used a cross slide threading stop? I 'just made one. I never saw one before and now I know its usefulness. I can send you the one I copied if you wish, I think it fits a small South Bend

[@tomb.1972]

Now do that with a thousand pounder!

[@leybraith3561]

...So.... Turn it over and shake your boogie? Nice Solution..... the 'gravity' of the situation can 'force' us to solve the problem? Larger lathes are going to need less gravity methinks....maybe attempts will involve more comedy?..... (much more) Newton would be proud...You are using an 'attractive' theory there!.... .....Using blasts of air blows my mind..... Friend used to have lots of printer problems regardless of the brand he bought.... He used to blow the dust off his printer to keep it clean (Thus the dust goes from where it's aesthetically damaging to places its physically damaging)....Blast it!

[@mrpete222]

lol

[@lindsaybrown7357]

Some other ideas for doing or avoiding: 1. Train your wife to do it. 2. Buy a new one when the old one's dirty. 3. Do all your machining under water or in the bathtub. 4. Do all your maching on your buddies lathe. You are welcome to use any or all of these ideas.

[@mrpete222]

Lol

[@Donorcyclist]

Hahaha!! 😂

[@scottjones7279]

😂

[@charlieberger9740]

LOL 😆 🤣

[@shadetreemechanicracing22]

Sorry I can't do that procedure with a warner swazey 3A.

[@R2D2inAustralia]

My Hercus is 900lb’s….. I can’t get it back upright now 😢

[@daleburrell6273]

...what if the lathe is secured to the floor?!

[@edl5074]

Lol

[@paolocaso6734]

Mr Pete my lathe is 230 pounds I can not pick it up and shake it😭

[@WildBoreWoodWind]

My lathe is over two ton and I can't lift what I used too - any suggestions? 😵‍💫🤔

[@theseldomseenkid6251]

Bubba ... You need to lift with your legs, not your back ... and use both arms this time.

[@rcurry8531]

Lol😅

[@coreddit]

Or throw it into dishwasher.

[@patrickoquin7215]

Or use the wifes toothbrush 😂

[@mrpete222]

She keeps it locked up

[@daveb2699]

Unfortunately not as big and strong as you are...

[@mrpete222]

You need to eat Wheaties for breakfast. It’s the breakfast of champions, you know

[@daveb2699]

I dunno seems like I'd need an awful LOT of Wheaties.

[@fox88nick]

I'd like to see you try that with a ABOM size lathe he used to run ;) @Abom79

[@paulbyerlee2529]

My lathe weighs a tonne I need to contact superman🦸 anyone have his number.?

[@lilianneterrelachesys273]

😂😂😂😂
