Sellers 6G Drill Grinder: Disassembly for Restoration

[@marklindner6525]

Keith I am glad you do these things with younger enthusiastic people. I tried to get my old employers to allow me to get apprenticeships going only to be shot down as wasteful. Now the entire manufacturing community is struggling to find skilled tradesmen

[@samuraidriver4x4]

Doesn't help alot of the youngsters aren't interested in making their hands dirty these days. The number of people that can build and repair stuff is slowly dwindling due to that. Last kid that did an internship I tried to teach stuff was busier with his phone then with learning.

[@JonathanSargent-q7v]

I thought the same thing. It was good to see that young man's UNF shirt get dirtier as the video went on!

[@peterhobson3262]

@@samuraidriver4x4 I'm sorry but I've heard that "young folks don't want to get dirty" stuff for the past fifty years. There were and still are lots of boys and girls (yeah one of the best tool and die makers I've ever known is a woman) who want to learn but have trouble finding the opportunity to do so. As Mark Lindner says above, a lot of manufacturers don't want to spend the time and money to run apprenticeship programs.

[@samuraidriver4x4]

@@peterhobson3262 it has gotten a whole lot worse the last 5 to 10 years. Where I live the number of schools with carpentry or metalworking classes went down dramatically because there wasn't enough students anymore. The average number of interns/apprentices dropped like a brick to maybe 1 or 2 if your lucky. Even the guys that are nearing retirement are now talking about the low number of young people the recent years. Now financially I don't mind as I can pretty much ask any rate I want due to the lack of skilled fabricators.

[@minbari001]

@@peterhobson3262 it's the Same over here in the UK Peter, most Kids simply Don't want to learn the Skills, and for those that do, there is little to No opportunity, Manufactures have No Problem hiring someone just to teach them how to Drill a Hole, or just tighten a couple of Bolts, it's cheaper for them in the long run, because if they do train them properly they become "Skilled" and can command higher Pay, It Saddens me No end that I've had to Watch my Beloved Engineering Industry incrementally Demolished in the name of Greed.

[@stephanetarte9425]

Hey Keith, nice teamwork work.was nice to see you with the younger generation. BTW, have you ever noted that the 3 last videos have 10 min of blind spot at the end ?

[@JRattheranch]

Sitting here at the age of 74, watching you both strip this unknown quantity down, reminded me of how fortunate I was at only 13 years of age, to have older experienced engineers like you Keith. They were always ready to share their considerable experience, gained over decades, to help and instruct me! When I needed new babbitt bearing for my newly acquired vintage car, they made me do it all myself! I went on to complete an automobile engineering degree! 👌👌👍

[@robertlevine2152]

My first full-time job included the inspection of welds and assemblys for new 188,500 DWT tankers. When it came to steel inspections, I answered 34:16 Douglass, our Steel Inspector. Dougie claimed the second S in his last name came from his family being banned from Scotland for stealing sheep. One day while inspecting a unit (a subassembly weighing around 150 t ons), Dougie told the foreman to get the plans for the unit. As Dougie waited, a small crowd gathered. Dougie was given the plans. He looked at the plans, then looked at the unit, then back to the plans. As we watched Dougie reach into his pocket for his lighter. Everyone ignored the lighter as Dougie set the plans on fire. After stomping out fire, the foreman asked Dougie why he set the plans on fire. Dougie told them that they weren't following them, so why keep them? Dougie then pointed out a number of errors. As assembled, the unit wouldn't fit, and the structure wouldn't match. I learned a lot about dealing with people and correcting errors. To this day, I remember errors can be made, and they can be corrected. A lesson I still value.

[@donwilliams3626]

Thanks to your "left" hand man. Your hands on learning experience was valuable to everyone watching over shoulder.

[@PatrickPoet]

I celebrate Keith's patience as a teacher

[@garybrenner6236]

The blind leading the blind!

[@garybeasley4885]

One of the finest things a person can do is to pass hard earned knowledge on to a younger generation, ensuring that knowledge is not lost.

[@AffordBindEquipment]

I made a lot of mistakes as a dad but both of my boys know how to use tools and aren’t afraid to take stuff apart.

[@petegraham1458]

Always good to have help in the workshop Keith ,thanks for giving them an opportunity to learn from you.

[@theoriginalbubba1036]

In my experience, loads of people offer to help. Few actually show up. Even less actually help. You are blessed sir!

[@voodoochild1954]

Keith, not only 7 min of black at the end but it looks like you battery died in your mike about 5 min before the video ended. Still nice to see you back in the shop.

[@rickfletcher8389]

This has turned out into a full-on restoration!!

[@DirtyRobot]

That's a fine new left hand you got there!

[@royreynolds108]

Two more, then four. Can hardly beat that, plus homemade cookies!

[@paulgar8]

Always good to see young folks learning.

[@schnable]

What a hoot. Reminds me of working with my daughter in the shop - I have such a hard time not jumping in to "help"!

[@terrycannon570]

Great to see the young man interested in the Old Iron. Also, great that you are giving him a chance. Good content.

[@WayneT51]

Great to see "young Keith" on the job once again.👍🇦🇺

[@ellieprice363]

Good to see that old heavy duty machine brought slowly back to life. Your young black haired helper reminds me so much of my handsome Korean American grandson.

[@Hoaxer51]

When I read your comment I was watching the video at the same time and thought that helpers hair isn’t really black like a Korean but it’s not my call to say any different. And then he popped into the video and I thought oh, there he is. A good looking young man that’s not afraid of doing some work! Congratulations.

Disassembly and freshening up a machine, so satisfying. 🗜️

[@RRINTHESHOP]

Always good to have good help. Nice job guys.

[@ljackson8220]

Good to get the younger guys involved.

[@johncloar1692]

Thanks Keith for the video. It look like you had some good help. Glad to see you doing better. It always good to see some older machines come back to life.

[@WillyBemis]

This is a great video! You are helping to keep our love of machines alive for generations to come. Thank you.

[@youpattube1]

A great team. You and your young, strong and eager assistants.

[@ChristopheD_]

Well done! the channel is doing so well that you can afford to hire a rookie! you didn't need to break your hand... Joking of course. It is really good to see younger people willing to be the next ones.

[@dannyl2598]

Thanks Keith. I'm sure it's a different feeling when you go from the only guy in the shop to being the "old Guy" mentor.

[@billdoodson4232]

Based on my experience of breaking my wrist last year, you are doing too much, too soon. It'll put you back. Having said that, nice to see that drill grinder getting some love.

[@davidc6510]

Another great episode Keith. Was fun watching trying so hard not to "get after it" on the tear down. Great assistants that stopped by to help. Thanks for sharing!

[@walterplummer3808]

Good morning Keith! It's going to be a good rebuild. Thanks.

[@stevem3413]

Mr Kieth it's great to see you back in the shop working on another great project. Glad someone is able to help you out ( wish it was me 😅) stay warm and keep teaching me have a blessed day

[@patmcbride9853]

Doctor: "Does it hurt when you do that?" Keith: "Yes." Doctor: "Then, don't do that."

[@bchrisl1491]

That was good teamwork. I kept hearing in my head "What's next Mr White?" 👍👏

[@tomjewett5839]

I can't wait till you get it all stripped down so that you can do your favorite thing Keith😁😁. We know how much you love to paint. LOL

[@paulputnam2305]

Nice going Keith teaching the next generation! Great job Team Rucker!

[@william6526]

Keith, it nice to see young people who are interested in this type of work that aren't afraid of getting dirty. We need more young people learning the trades . From where you started not that long ago to 267 thousand viewers it won't be long before you pass 300 thousand, that's pretty amazing but very understandable with the great job you do making your videos and showing and most importantly explaining everything you are doing in a form people can understand.

[@frankerceg4349]

Thank you Keith!

[@Ian1957a]

Another great video, glad to see your finger is getting better and you ate getting help. This video had about 5 minutes of blank black screen at the end the same as the last few videos.

[@robertlewis2]

Glad to see that you are getting some help for the "heavy" lifting

[@chrisroberts3479]

Hi Keith, glad to see you back in your shop, I was cringing every time anything got close to that hand. When I broke mine I had to have my support on just to remind me but to use that hand. Just a side note, your last few videos end but the video doesn't stop playing for a good 5 minutes or so. Not sure what's going on there.

[@JasonAWilliams-IS]

Loving the appendices after the outtros in these last few videos.

[@jimfiles3307]

When removing large or heavy pieces, make some 6” alignment studs by cutting off the head of a bolt. This will allow you to guide the part out once all the remaining hardware is removed. It also saves the piece from smashing your finger or damaging it.

[@frankdoner8402]

Thank you, Keith, looking forward to the restoration.

[@davidsmethurst4318]

The best thing about this is the murual respect. You are "sir" and you didnt over explain every nuance of spannering. Let him find out. Good job both.

[@ronkluwe4875]

Was waiting for Keith to use the "Aah young padawan, you are becoming wiser in the ways of the Force". Nice to see a younger guy showing interest in the old machinery.

Good day sir!

[@dmkaeding]

What's the fun without a torch? :)❤‍🔥 Seriously, well done.

[@markbernier8434]

I am always amazed at the beginning seeing the machine in bits and wondering how it will ever go back together. BTW, in the video it looked like one of the casters on the gantry is bent.

[@carlthor91]

Keith, I feel your pain, in 94, I broke the smaller 2 fingers on each hand. It was a few years before the ache went away.

[@elsdp-4560]

Thank you for sharing.👍

[@billsargent3407]

I like seeing Keith have help. That tear down, while possible by a single person was so much easier with extra hands. Maybe now that you are "retired" you can find enough business to employ a journeyman or two...

[@josephkrug8579]

Fun video, always more fun to take machines apart with help. :) If you notice your analytics on this one have people leaving early, it may be due to the extra black space at the end after the 26:50 mark. That may be due to your editing down clips and the original import length was longer which left space at the end...I have done that a few times. The live edit on the video may allow you to trim that without taking the video down, if it matters.

[@patrickmazzone9066]

Good to have friends

“Keith, my left hand man, is giving me a hand” - nice.

[@storetrollet404]

Nice job! But why has your last videos 'black ending'? This video ends at 26 minutes and continues on with nearly ten minutes of black screen?

[@Warshipmodelsunderway]

This has happened for me a few times recently in Keith's videos. No big thing, I just exit, but I wonder if that impacts the KZbin algorithm by showing folks not watching completely.

[@RrrrMmmm-f2r]

Would it be worth taping your fractured finger to the next one to give it a little more support?

[@garybrenner6236]

IT would be worth keeping them out of the planer!

[@elliottmarksy]

Hi Keith, do you realize that your video length was approximately 26:00 but there is 8:00 of black afterwards?

[@garybrenner6236]

That 8:00 is the best part!

[@katelights]

time to load up some degreaser in the pressure washer.

[@flockshot1967]

Whan you are tearing a machine down; do you store the pieces in any pattern for re-assembly?

[@mikewatson4644]

My thought also. I learned to lay them out in sequence so that I knew which part to reassemble next. I learned that from doing it wrong

[@CanizaM]

He has video of the process, should be no problem to follow it in reverse.

[@dannyl2598]

It's funny, you and I said, watch your fingers at the same time.

[@phlodel]

Do you talk to Keith like you're there, too?

[@dannyl2598]

@phlodel yes, I have even blown on my phone to move the chips out of the way after watching a hole being drilled.

[@garybrenner6236]

I said it when he was sticking them in the Planer, I don't believe the "picking up sticks outside" story.

[@CapnCrusty]

I've found that Permatex Ultra Black seals better than "real gaskets" if you read and follow the instructions.

[@InverJaze]

Ends up with boxes of bits.... been there many times before!

[@harrymoyes5069]

Hi Keith. There is a lot of blank space at the end of this video. Maybe 20% of the run time. Not sure why. Cheers Harry

[@truckguy6666]

I always get nervous when the boss watches me that close

[@robertharker]

I use it to settle my sore stomach from laughing at this Bozo!

[@bloodknottrevelian3396]

At the end of the video, after the closing screen, from about the 26 minute mark, I experienced some 8 minutes of black screen?

[@criggie]

Keith - your last few videos have had 5-10 minutes of black on the end; not sure if that's intentional or what. Likely to be messing up your view metrics in the last part, if nothing else.

[@RichardWatson-f8h]

Please keep that finger supported, it is not yet fully healed. But I guess you can't keep a good man down.

[@davidt8438]

A small impact gun early on would have gone a long way towards taking this machine apart unless you were try to teach this young man how to use hand tools. In 2025 it’s just cruel to withhold something like that for this disassembly.

[@khubba10]

I was the wrench turner, and I've done plenty of rust jobs on my own. With things this rusty you are much more liable to break a bolt off or round the head. We successfully disassembled the grinder without a single one of either of those.

[@Hoaxer51]

Nice job, we’ve enjoyed watching you work and helping Keith at the same time. Keep up the good work!

[@mikewatson4644]

@@khubba10 I do use an impact wrench once I get a bolt or nut loose and turning freely if it has a long way to go. Thank you for helping Keith. I hope that you will be able to help him more during his recovery

Keith doesn't need a setback on his hand. That stoker will wait a couple of weeks. I am speaking from experience with a broken bone in my right hand

[@scotte2815]

Bare in mind that I said this in jest. That poor stoker engine has had so many setback over the YEARS he's been working on it. And shame on anyone who suggest that I don't care about Kieth's health. Personally, if he were to take an entire month away from work I wouldn't blame him.

[@scotte2815]

@mikewatson4644 ooooohhhhh ,a broken bone in your right hand? well, let me tell you about what I suffered last winter when I had 2 broken bones in my right hand and 3 in my left, and AND a missing femur! I had to get up twice as early and walk 2 miles uphill in the snow because my car was broken down. Once at work I had to disassemble machinery in order to relocate an entire factory into a larger facility way over in the next county and then reassemble the machinery. That wouldn't have been so bad except the boss's wife kept coming by to micromanage EVERYTHING which included rearranging the layout like it was furniture.
