[@donny_hellfire257]

I watched a couple videos before watching this one. I saw the Channel name, "Inheritance Machining" and thought, "Oh he must be focusing on making stuff he can pass down to his kids and grandkids." Then I watched this video. The intro made everything clear. You sir just got yourself a new subscriber.

[@ohasis8331]

Man, what a magnificent gift, something for your lifetime and maybe another's when you eventually shuffle off.

[@davidhaywood9071]

I am the grandfather now with my own small shop. I have watched your videos on relocating your inheritance tools to your new shop with great interest and envy. I like the tools you inherited, I envy your age and the year’s you’ll have making things while your grandfather looks down with great pride and pleasure. Thanks for sharing your trip.

[@InheritanceMachining]

Thank you so much! I hope you have someone to share your trade with. Not a lot of people do this sort of thing anymore so we have to keep the traditions alive!

[@TheDJOblivion]

@@InheritanceMachining it's definitely making a comeback thanks to people like you.

[@lordchickenhawk]

All of a sudden I'm in my 60's... and I'm working to be "the grandfather" too now. My grandfather built himself a machineshop. And I mean that literally. He paid for a lathe and bench grinder which he used to hand create a cut-off saw, a milling machine(!), and a working scale replica of the Flying Scotsman steam loco. (Beautiful!) As the only grandson to have followed along into his trade I probably would have inherited some of those machine tools, but were all sold to the scrap metal merchant. Pretty annoyed with my mother and aunts about that. Must have bought them each a really nice pair of shoes. So I've spent my life slowly putting together an all Aussie machineshop for myself. Now I just need my lad to have me some grandchildren. Perhaps one of them will be additionally blessed with video editing skills, sadly not my forte.

[@CRUZY_MC]

[@zock424]

I myself just lost my grandfather this winter as well, and while not a machinist he was a gunsmith and hand loader of ammunition. I’ve been at a loss since as to what to do with the room of tools and parts no one but me could even recognize. Seeing this series gave me my answer - Thank you.

[@DarkSwordsman]

I saw you mentioned your wife was able to help you with the production quality and what not. Huge props to her, since I think starting an entire journey with this level of quality and attention to detail is insane, especially as you probably spend at least the next few decades using this shop. Looking forward to more videos!

[@InheritanceMachining]

I'm so sorry for your loss, but glad you found something to continue your memory of him. My family always says whey you lose a loved one, they are never fully gone as long as you remember and keep talking about them. Thanks for following along.

[@georgedennison3338]

Since your grandad was at Ford for 30+, you'll appreciate an experience I had in my mid 20's, in the early 1980's, when I partnered in a shop w/ an old friend. I'd been building & drag racing cars since my teens, & he'd been building custom cars for a living for 20+ yrs. Our shop had employees to do mechanics, body & glass, industrial sand blasting & we started an auto parts store. The only thing we didn't do in house was upholstery. Our employees did the day to day work, & we had the shop & equipment to build street rods, race cars & antique auto restorations. We did a lot w/ Model A's, & always had several in the shop, long term; ours & customers. One day, a friend's 80+ yr old uncle came in to have some work done on his car. Everyone was busy w/ customers, so I told him it'd be 5-10 min. When I got to him, he was looking at my partners '29 A 4 dr sedan. In a gruff & accusing voice, he said, "You got Briggs fenders 9n the front & Murray's on the back. That ain't right." The average non-builder Model A owner didn't even know there were 2 types of A fenders, let alone being able to ID them. A lot of swap meet 'experts' didn't or couldn't, either! Surprised, I admitted he was correct, but it was my partner's car, & getting it on the road & out of the shop was priority 1. I asked how he knew so much, & did he or had he owned one. "I spent 33 years making stamping dies for Ford. I made the dies for them fenders as my 1st job for Ford." We adopted him that day as our uncle, & became close & much smarter about A's & mid '30's Fords in the next 8 yrs we had w/ him. He was a blessing, as I'm sure you grandpa was to you. GeoD

[@jimmymckay73]

That is an amazing and fantastic story.

[@InheritanceMachining]

What an awesome story! He was probably the most knowledgeable guy in the world on those fenders. And sounds like a cool guy to know. Thanks for sharing!

[@georgedennison3338]

@@InheritanceMachining Glad I could share it. It was a high spot of many in my long azz life! Impressed w/ your channel, approach & skills. After 50+ years of construction & fab, I finally got my 1st lathe @ 64 & am remodeling a portion of my shop for a mill. I've wanted learn machining since high school, but the opportunity never came along. Never thought a pandemic, (Covid relief $) & cancer, (realized it might be my last chance), would facilitate & prompt me to do it. Good luck on YT & w/ life. It may seem like a long time b4 you hit 70, but trust me, now that I'm about to, it only seems like a few months ago an old guy was giving grief a out the wrong A fenders. GeoD GeoD

I'm new to your channel, and late to the comment section, but I finally had a chance to catch up on your older videos. This was simply superb, the story, the way you organized and moved everything and the way you captured it on video. Hard to believe this was your first KZbin video. Thank you for sharing.

[@InheritanceMachining]

I appreciate you getting all the way back to this, man. The only reason this first video (and all of them really) is watchable is because of my wife's keen eye for editing and story telling!

[@7027A]

What an incredible legacy: inherited passion, inherited skills, and inherited equipment. Can't wait to see what comes out of this reunion of all three!

[@InheritanceMachining]

Absolutely! There is much more to come

[@bsimpson6204]

Your grandfather would be proud, his tools are now yours and he know's you'll look after them.

[@richmitchell734]

I love this channel. My father was a structural engineer, but he had an innate ability to look at something and visualize what was needed to make it work/fit/get fixed. He fixed a rotted window sill by taking a two by six and putting seven cuts in it. It dropped right in after he chopped out the rot. What you do reminds me of him. ❤

[@HomebrewHorsepower]

My grandpa's name was Norm. He was a machinist for the Navy during WW2 and then at IBM in the 50s and 60s. I was very young when he died, but his tools and the things he'd made always fascinated me, and ultimately played a major role in my interest in manual machining. I now have a home machine shop of my own, and my dad tells me my grandpa would be proud.

[@64Hurricane]

This video is fantastic quality and the story cannot be matched. I am a facilities manager and my dad was a millwright, I have the tools he collected. Reading the comments is a joy and supports what have been telling younger people about our ancestors. If you will take a job along side these old men they will provide you an educational experience you cannot get from a book. Just show up ever day and put in the work and you will find a friend for life. Well done Sir.

[@Kaltrogdor]

Man... i found your channel about a month ago and ive been watching the more recent stuff and decided to go to the beginning. Its werid seeing the shop empty and actually seeing the head engineer instead of just hearing her. Im really envious of your shop and your knowledge. Watching you make things is really pretty awe inspring to me. Getting to learn any of the trade would be so cool. Anyway, take care, love the channel.

[@martincrippen3107]

I discovered Inherited Machining yesterday. I've watched 3 of your videos and absolutely love them! Thank you for taking me on your journey. I intend to watch many. I'm a retired Mechanical Engineer and have repaired, built, and refinished all kinds of things though out my life. Over the last year I purchased a lathe and mill and have enjoyed starting to learn how to use them. The video style and narration is great! Thanks again.

I stumbled on to your channel and I’m glad I did. I like how your Grandpa owned these pieces of machinery. His legacy will be carried on and that makes it wonderful.

[@InheritanceMachining]

Thank you! They are some big shoes to fill but I'll get there eventually.

[@jnsfrahm]

This brings me back when I was 8 years old and anytime I visited my grandfather I would go straight to his garage and play with his bench lathe,,, power off of course. Fast forward 42 years and after finishing my 20 year career in the Air Force as an aircraft electrician I still had a longing to learn how to use machine tools. So, I found a local machine shop and asked for a job. What an awesome experience. I primarily run a 50 x 9 knee mill but I also run a lathe, band saw, and all the other hand tools found in a machine shop. There’s nothing more valuable than knowing how to make stuff. Thanks for sharing your journey.

[@InheritanceMachining]

I love to hear that! Machining is not only useful but also really rewarding. Thanks for watching!

The vibe of this whole channel is so immaculate that I pretty regularly just watch every video from oldest to newest because it invokes so many positive feelings and emotions.

[@brianbarnum48414]

When I worked at MSU we had several students working in our shop while earning their engineering degree's. Some of them were involved in Formula SAE. I have a machine shop at home and some would come to my place when the machine shops on campus were too busy. Good times back in the day. Great video, Gramps would be proud!

[@InheritanceMachining]

That's awesome! FSAE teams typically need all the support they can get. Thanks for watching

[@MarkPicc86]

Are we allowed to drop tears here? The videos are professional as well, they are a pleasure to watch. I live in a city and dream to have my machine shop but the space is a big challenge in Milano. So far I got a mini lathe and a crappie Mill with aluminum body in my father’s basement… they are far from your equipment but it’s still heaven to me to work with those small machines. Thanks for your contents!

[@tszabon]

My grandfather was a machinist too. He worked in a large company producing machines for the coal industry in southern Poland. Unfortunately, he died just a few months after I was born, so I don't remember him, but as a teenager I used many of the tools in the small workshop he built. I have done completely different things in my life, but now, at the age of 46, I feel a strong need to finally start creating my own workshop. This is the plan for this year... Your videos are a source of information that, unfortunately, I did not have the opportunity to learn from my grandfather. Thank you.

@@InheritanceMachiningI grew up with a small machine shop in a room in my parents’ home. Last time I machined anything was in my early 20s. Now, over a quarter of a century later, I think I should get my own. I do electronics mostly so I started with a tiny Servo precision desktop drill. It handles 0.1mm carbide bits just fine, and is a beautiful US-made product. I got it used but it’s like new.

i was very close to my grandpa, he was like my father to me, and though he didnt have a homeshop he also was a tool and die maker at Carrier. he died very unexpectedly the yesr he retired and it took a deep and heavy toll on our family. not a day goes by that i dont think about him, he passed when i was 12. im 55 now and a blacksmith who does a little machining and enjoys restoring equipment. your channel hits a chord with me and i just wanted to say thank you so very much for sharing this part of your life with us. what youve been doing is a wonderful testament to the bond shared between grandfathers and their grandkids. again thank you, from the bottom of my heart.

Awesome video and I really love the project of using your grandpa tool, giving them a new life with still having his soul around. I do machining as a hobby, the fact that those old but well designed machines cross the ages is clearly what makes me felt in love of them. I always say my friend and family that my milling machine, drill press and lathe will be the only heritage that can be passed from a generation to the next one with a form of passion. I assume it is hard to let his workshop go, but you at least saved his tools/machine and that's beautifull. Can't wait to see more videos from your channel. Cheers from France.

[@TheBiggerNoise]

Love the story and am looking forward to watching the restoration videos. My Dad had a great many hobbies through his life, metal machining was one that he started on after I moved out, so I never got a chance to explore it with him. He downsized his machinery from a South Bend lathe and a larger mill to some Sherline equipment which I inherited last year. I'm spending quite a bit of time just learning how to use these basic tools, but definitely get that zen-like feeling of total concentration on what you're doing. Simultaneously makes me miss my dad and feel closer to him. An additional bonus is that some of the figuring things out I'm getting to do with my son-in-law (who is very clever and much better with the real world than I am). Thanks for sharing your stories

[@InheritanceMachining]

Thank you! I'm glad you found your way into the hobby even if you didn't get to learn along with your father. There's still a connection there for you I'm sure. And now you get the chance to do with your son-in-law what you didn't with you father. Happy machining!

I inherited my grandfathers on both side's tools. Nothing like a machine shop but instead mostly hand tools and the desk that one grandfather used for ~50 years to run his CPA firm. I cleaned and restored all the hand tools as best I could - remove rust, replace wooden handles, etc and they are an absolute JOY to use that reminds me of my grandfathers each time I use them. Not to mention they don't make hand tools quite like they did 50-60 years ago!. As for the desk, I'm using it now and work full time from it. Nothing like being connected to your ancestors. God speed to you and the mrs.

Great series. I started my working life as an apprentice fitter/machinist and love seeing finely made parts, tools and fixturing. Thanks for sharing your journey. Looking forward to more content on this channel

My grandad, also John was a professional machinist, making huge industrial screws. I vaguely remember his place of work, but the smell of machined metal, coolant and oil is burnt into my memory. He taught me somethings, I recently realised, way too late how much more I could have learnt from him. I think he would love your videos, I do and I miss him. Thank you for making these videos.

I appreciate you sharing. Those smells are engrained in me as well. Thank you

Been going back through this channel's history ever since I saw your work on cleaning up the workshop in a recent video, and I can't believe you started out with such amazing quality. What really stands out about this channel though, is just how warm and comfy everything feels. A lot of channels on youtube are content farming, noisy, and frankly tiring after long enough. It's entertaining, but there's always a format and that's exhausted me for a while. However, I always come back to these calmer videos of people working their trades; or crafting up props and board game stuff; or taking photos in the wild; or doing environmental work. I just feel like I'm relaxing again, like when I was a kid watching minecraft videos of people doing whatever in a let's play, instead of the insane challenge oriented mindset we've had for so long. Real happy I found your channel, and may your grandfather's passion live on. Also, gahdamn the shop looks so different nowadays compared to before.

Thank you for showing this. So good to see a workshop continuing. If there is a next world, I expect your grandfather will be cracking a smile, to see his place going on. It will be good to see your progress.

[@InheritanceMachining]

My pleasure. Thank you so much!

What an amazing gift and a blessing to be carrying on a legacy such as this! I love it, and enjoy your videos as well.

As a grandfather, I can only hope my grandson is interested in my shop tools. You are one fortunate young man. I have been aquiring machinery for nearly 40 years. I look forward to seeing you progress with your newly aquired goodies! New sub. You are a real Doer.

[@InheritanceMachining]

Thank you, Bill! Only advise I could give is to start him young. I had a wrench in my hand as soon as I could walk! 😁

[@drokles2125]

I have now been following you for a few months. I have now only gotten to the history behind your shop and channel... and I was more heartwarming than I was expecting. But I am happy to finally watch it and I know I'll be watching and supporting for however long you'll do this

[@InheritanceMachining]

😊 Thank you very much!

What a thought provoking intro! Really made me miss a lot of old people. My grandpa was a metalurgest and machinist for AMC and had a small home machine/chemistry setup in the basement. Growing up the neighbor was an irish machinist who had a full woodshop in the garage that he could work miracles in and fix anything. After highschool I spent a year in Germany on exchange and my host-father was a tool&die maker for Mont Blanc pens. He had soooo many of those lying around the house like most have BIC pens. He had parts mismatched from multi thousand $ MB limited ed., all kinds of cool stuff. But the point was how important these skills are and how, used to be, you could find a full wood shop each block & a machinest within 3blocks or a chemist & all these people brought these abilities within common reach. Now, however, not so much. All though the lower cost and ubiquity of CNC or material printers allows a lot more people make things, there's a special aspect to being able to do something like that with a few very precise spinning machines. I think there was a big move away from this stuff in the 90's-'10ish as everybody ran towards technology. Unfortunately nowadays a full machine shop would almost need to be inherited for what it costs. I remember about 20 years ago my mother's cousin in Wisconsin died and he did some kind of machine handcraft but when we did a little walkthrough of his home to figure out what to do with his things, it was stunning! Besides all the OLD-oldschool upstairs furnishings, down in the basement was a HUGE machine shop with soooooooooo sooo so many steel tools!!! I mean everything, in multiples, old time construction THAT LASTED! Just a cursory look & i could see the worth, myself newly into woodworking & stunned @ tool costs 20years ago but still poor & in college. When i think of it now, cleaned up, at that time it could have been sold then for an easy $half mill and today easily $750 or even $1mil would not have been hard. Unfortunately everybody was a bit in shock and time-crunched plus almost everybody , although originally from there was now from out of state. Soooooooo, in the end it was let go. 😢 I think they sold it as a teardown b/c mold & all the tools all got scooped up by the salvage purchaser, who I'd heard was taken aback at his winfall discovery thinking he only bought a useless teardown for reclaim property costs...... 😭 Ultimately though i just wanted to tell you that your intro made me feel nostalgic & ill be subscribing. Ultra cool 1 sided cube also!

Your wife saying beautiful when you place the lathe is so wholesome. Respect that woman like you do your machines.

I respect above everything else actually
