If you retire from KZbin let it be known this is one viewer who learned a lifetime of machining from the best shop teacher in the world. You will be sorely missed but you deserve to enjoy time with your family. Wishing you the best, Marv Linke. ps, I guessed $500

@@mrpete222 I've been following your channels for several years now, and I can assure you that you've been one of the most positive influences in my life. Your channel has helped me through rough times, if only because of your dry, wonderful humour. As far as machining goes, well. that goes without saying! I wish I could know how many would-be machinists have become actual machinists thanks to your channel. Here's to you!

[@Daledavispratt]

I started watching your videos more than 10 years ago after I bought an ancient Atlas 10-D lathe (1937 model) and found you after doing a search on youtube for "Atlas lathe"..it was your 4-jaw demonstration. I've not missed a video since and what I have learned from you since that time gave me the confidence to purchase a larger and more modern 12x36 machine and a milling machine as well. Your teaching has enabled me to use those machines for both fun and for profit and your videos on bench work have expanded my knowledge in those areas also. I owe you a lot, Mr. Pete..as do so many other viewers of your channel. Not only for the instruction but for the sheer entertainment and the life lessons you have taught us, probably without realizing you were setting such a wonderful example for so many of us. As I conclude my comment as I always do..know that it is heartfelt: Thanks, Mr. Pete! :-)

[@mrpete222]

Thank you very much for being so encouraging I’m glad you have enjoyed my videos

@@mrpete222 don't worry about Corona. It's the biggest hoax EVER perpetrated on the world. The Gateway pundit April 10th article listed only 150 deaths in the US due to Corona for people without a preexisting condition or comorbidity.

[@DarronBlack]

@@ronshekelson *sigh*... that'''s idiotic. That's an awful set of human trash spreading whatever conspiracy theories demonize half the country and bring in the donations. Truth or not, it doesn't matter to them as long as they "help" their side and make you hate people that don't agree with you even more. Even finding this concept in more honest publications, they're counting everything under the sun as preexisting conditions. How many Americans are technically overweight? High blood pressure, hypertension (even controlled)? Diabetic? Old is a preexisting condition? With the latest about no-symptom spreaders being "very rare", we shouldn't be shutting down (pretty huge screwup there, IMHO) but we should all be wearing masks out around other people. It's to protect people like Mr. Pete here, and my mid-70s lunch buddies. 150 people. F*ing hell. It's ridiculous how many people will listen to anonymous social media and conspiracy theories and ignore actual professional media. Sure, there's a lot of screwups in the media but it's a huge step up from random online hearsay and outright foreign propaganda attacks. We used to make fun of the conspiracy theorists ("bar codes on the back of street signs are for the UN to be able to find their way around when they invade", etc)... let's find our way back to that. The current stats are 115,000 dead in the US. Sure, some of those are people that died that happened to test positive but CV had nothing to do with it. If that's "bar codes on street signs" crazy level high, MAYBE only 20% are real COVID cases. That's still 23,000 people. I'd guess it's probably more like the other way around.

[@sharkrivermachine]

My grandfather was a tool and die maker. I got his machinist box prior to his passing so I got a chance to talk to him about the tools that were in the box. I still use the tools to this day 50 years later. Many have his name etched on them. It gives me a feeling of connection with him when I use them. There is a lot of Starrett but there are several Craftsman tools in the lot. He claimed that they were made by Starrett at the time. I don't know if that is true or not but they are good quality made in USA tools non the less. Thanks for sharing.

Wow Mr. Pete! I think the toolbox is awesome. $525.00! You live in a machinist rich area lucky. When you opened the drawer and pulled that starrett level out well that just made my day. I would call that tool box a treasure chest. Thanks for the videos. I am addicted to your channel.

[@marcmckenzie5110]

Sorry, Lyle that I'm behind - was really sick this week. I always enjoy tours of Kennedy and Gerstner tool boxes people have purchased at estate sales, auctions, or inherited. No one should be jealous. You have put in the years and the effort. You share the fun of exploring the box and the tools, and you certainly didn't have to do that - you did it to share with other people and we love you for it. Ignore the trolls. Any attention to them just encourages more poor behavior, and none of them know you well enough to merit your concern. Wishing you good health!

[@mrpete222]

Thank you very much

[@matthewsykes4814]

While I have yet to even have a lathe or hobby shop, the lesson's and wisdom you share with us is priceless. From watching you I've learned to plan ahead, work out what I wish to make then acquire just what is needed to make that thing. If I need another tool, instead of buying a ready made, can I make it myself??? So much to learn....... I can't thank you enough Sir. On this contagion that's going around..... I know that me, my brother and mother had the bug back in january, we just thought it was a bad flu or cold. I took a day off work, so did brother. We're still around, it's not the nicest thing but people are surviving it. The media don't report that as it doesn't grab headlines as quickly.... don't worry, you'll be fine.

Awesome score Mr. Pete! As I already told you, I picked up a loaded Kennedy Box for $300 last month. I went to look at it because the add said "some tooling". Turns out the guy was a Starrett hoarder and the box contained thousands of dollars of tools / tooling. I'm envious of your Starrett level...nice score.. That was almost worth the price of admission right there. Thanks for what you do. -Scott

Lyle, what a score! That gentleman definitely took care of those tools. I'd certainly like to find a Heathkit TV (or any Heathkit item) at an auction or yard sale. ;) That old lathe looks a bit like mine, a 1911 10-inch South Bend lathe that started its life as a pedal lathe too, but was modified like that one with a jackshaft & electric motor.

I have been watching your video's for over three years. I have smile after smile on my face and think back to metal shop in high school and the South Bend Lathes and other machine shop tools. This was in 1962 thru 1966, I'm 71 YO now. Anyway, I really love your video's and may watch them for hours at a time. Also, I have assembled my own little machine shop i.e. 9 in. Precision S. Bend, 1 S. B. 16 In. two S. B. 16/24 lathes, 1 Logan 14 in., Bridgeport mill, two Atlas Horizontal mills, 1 Carlton Radial Arm Drill with 4 ft. arm. All my machine shop tooling is in pretty nice shape. I can and do spend hours & hours making stuff and listening to 60's/ 70's music. My most recent project is making (4) heavy duty platform (18" X 4" X 3" H) moving plates for moving heavy machines around in my shop. I'm a retired helicopter pilot, Vietnam (70/71) & Blackhawk Down Unit (TF 160th) Maint. Test pilot & retired in 2004. Anyway, the Best to You and your Family and Be Smart... stay away from the public as much as possible. This COVID 19 will put you in the grave in a heart beat. My Vet. just died at 42 YO and COVID 19 took is life in just ten days time. Avery

Thank you for watching. And I’m glad you like the videos. Sounds like you have an extremely well equipped Shop. I can see that you love the South Bend machines. Thank you for serving in Vietnam. I will be careful

@@mrpete222 Yes, Sir, I'm in Seventh Heaven in my little shop. Take this as a ... Super Duper Comment !!! You really Explain Things .. On-the-Money. I worked in a machine shop years ago and was trained by the 2nd shift shop foreman (Henry). He was very knowledgeable and his hands on experience was his strong point. He took me under his wing and I did my best to -- follow his guidance and became in-a-way... Henry's Clone. Anyway, I smile when I think of him and remember what Henry taught me. Also, I smile when I hear you ... Pointing Out Do's and Don'ts. Also, Keith Rucker has become my 2nd Favorite. I'm about to purchase a K. T. Horizontal Mill, No. 2 H, like Keith's. It's up around Youngstown, Ohio, about 1,100 miles one way. The Price is Right, Not Worn Out & it comes with the Divider Head that came with the machine; the DH is a big plus I think. Closing -- The Best to You and Lot's of Smile's, You Really Make My Day and No Joke About.

Lyle I’ve been watching your videos since you started or very shortly after and I think you are the best thing that ever happened to KZbin! You really changed for me what I thought KZbin was about. That it was more than just cat videos! I have learned so much from you and you inspired me to start my own KZbin channel, Right On with Jon Crane. Thanks Mr. Pete! You are one heck of a teacher and a swell guy. I pray your videos keep coming! 🙏🏼✨

[@mrpete222]

The prior owner took excellent care of those tools, as you certainly will. Thanks for the video.

[@MrPossumeyes]

Thanks Mr Pete, you cheeky bugger. Loved it

[@echoewest2685]

That box is a gem. The best thing about this is that a person that will appreciate it got the box. Well done! Enjoy Hawaii! My $100 is on the way (I saw your temporary video and I know that was a joke, so is my comment). Thanks for sharing.

[@mrpete222]

Thank you very much, I am not going to the island

[@krosskaien8618]

For what it's worth you're the person that got me interested in machining many years ago and I'm really grateful. Since than I built a little hobby machine shop and hope to one day own a wonderful collection of tools like you do. While I freely admit I don't watch all your videos, I still believe that what you're doing is important and worthwhile. Wishing you good health and all the best.

[@mrpete222]

Me.Pete what a wonderful score! That box is fantastic I would be proud to have a box like that on my bench. I absolutely love the craftsman square. Thanks for sharing your find. Also good advice on buying a complete box. As a novice I always enjoy your videos when I have time to catch them.

[@cliftoncarmichael2392]

Mr. Pete, There's nothing more I can day that hasn't already been posted here, except you are a very loved machinist/teacher. Your $100.00 is one the way!! Wink wink. No really if I had it to spare I would send it in a second. I'm happily married, but I can still say I love you and all that you do! Godspeed my friend.
