Thank you.

[@lukealaric7861]

@Caspian Ayaan i dunno I use flixportal. You can find it thru google=) -luke

[@michaelgarcia7539]

Adding the history of the tools you are restoring make the videos really really interesting. Thank you for sharing!

[@Moondog-wc4vm]

Love the history of the tools, please include as much as you can with any project.

[@aaroncrabtree6195]

I am in complete agreement restoration videos a great. History about the tool is the next level

[@quixototalis]

Absolutely include the history of the tools/companies that made them.

[@MrDwaynePoff]

Agreed!!

[@vernemahorney6588]

I Agree, the history of the tool maker is a fantastic add on.

[@tjames0820]

I absolutely love the history of the equipment!!! PLEASE do that more often!

[@sammerrell1601]

I agree!!

[@kellcomnet]

Yes, I love the history,please include when available. For me made in America means someone making something that either helps them, their family, or their neighbors.

[@SalvageWorkshop]

I don't think I could have said how incredible old tools and equipment are to the present times we currently enjoy any better than how Justin said it at the beginning of this video! Bravo! I Truly enjoy your channel, and your videos are inspiring! Thank you for spending the time to share your passion with the world!!

[@DanielGouldingnavy]

Justin, the pointer you made is one of the finest examples of American made. A precise intricate piece made by hand from scratch, you are a true craftsman.

[@justinfobare7014]

Justin, My name is Justin, I am a 4th Generation pipe fitter plumber and heating tech. I to have an appreciation for old tools and how things used to be done. I own many of my great grandfathers tools and still use some today. Its good to see someone else appreciates older tools and their history as I do

[@TheGoodoftheLand]

+Justin Fobare Awesome! Very nice to meet you Justin!

[@id104335409]

I am proud of American made machinery and I am not American! You have my greatest respect for making all these awesome machines and cars and furniture and whatnot over the years. I am jealous when I watch old finds and restorations because in Europe we seem to have lost most of what is good and high quality hand made. I wish all crafts to have a new comeback so people can enjoy man made products for the years to come.

[@spetsnaz1014]

I like the history because you give the info straight away, don't far about and then get on with the resto. It's quick and concise.

[@OC3OliverFan]

Yes give history of the machine you’re restoring it makes it interesting.We need more people like you to get our minds thinking and how we can help getting things done

[@Contantq]

Nice to see complete restoration of equipment that has not been disassembled since it was originally made.

[@TheKanick88]

Yes, please! More history - we're going to need it at some future point in time.

[@jamesspencer9091]

Keep up with the history lessons. My boys and I watch your channel all the time. I think it’s important what you guys do so that future generations like my kids can understand and appreciate what it took to build our country.

[@jameschippett2177]

Being from the UK, American made means well engineered, strong, made to last and innovative. You are good problem solvers. More US companies should promote themselves in the UK, we don't see you guys that often in hardware stores. Great video, loved the history lesson.

[@timm1139]

I like the stories, maybe include how the tool ended up at the museum also.

[@Tools4Machines]

I love history. It is a big part of how we learn. American made means, people working, providing and taking pride in what they produce. This one looks good for another 100+ years. Cheers, Gary

[@normjacques6853]

Hi Justin....I think that including historical information, and context, is a super idea....and I wish other restoration channels would follow your lead and adopt that as part of their projects, too!

[@williamshaffer2617]

The history of what your restoring is a great add on.

[@rictus7222]

The historical significance of any product that you're working with is enjoyed and a nice add to the content of the videos

[@214rwoz]

The history of the tool is sometimes more interesting than the tool itself. Dig into that history, it make the video just that more for us to get involved.

[@seanbender2482]

Bring on the history!! It adds more depth and meaning to each and every restoration!

[@michelecrown2426]

A 100% yes on adding the history of the tool to the video! American made to me is all materials produce in the USA and all labor done here.

[@KoalityofLife]

I do like the historical information added into the videos, it adds more to the video than just a restoration. I get a feel for when the tool was made and how long it has been around. :)

[@washtap]

Oh the history makes the restoration so much cooler! Thanks

[@Journeyman1642]

Yes always always always include alittle history in your projects, it makes it that much more interesting and amazing!

[@Shane-Singleton]

I like the commentary. One of the first makers of plastic model kits, Airfix, wasn't just an exorcise in putting a plastic thing together. They included a sheet with bits of history or other useful facts and education in regards to what you were assembling. I really dig that and I really dig history in general so, please, keep the history coming! :)

[@bradleyrogers9863]

people who watch these videos are absolutely interested in the history of the tools. Part of the restoration process is knowing the history.

[@JerusBarnett]

It was great working with you again, especially on such an interesting and unique piece of American history. Thanks for all the hospitality.

[@John-lx8iu]

The historical info was a great addition to the restoration

[@abbyrowe4939]

I love the historical information you give with the piece your working on!

[@Klocaine237]

yeah the history and manufacturers are key to these restorations. cool info to know before or while watching. keep up the good work. 👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@carp614]

Love the history lesson. I don't think it takes anything away from the restoration at all. Please continue. God Bless you Justin.

[@stephenkent8903]

Wonderful job restoring that 1800 metal brake machine. I am fascinated by old machines and have 18 old wood working power tools that go back to 1947 that are in great working shape. Three are ones my father and my nieces father in law owned. My most cherished tools are 17 H.K. Porter tools which were all made where my dad worked in their boston foundry plant in Boston. One tool a bolt cutter was made when my dad was 4 in 1916. Then others were made in 1930s, 1950s and then 1960s when my dad made them! I think of my dad when I use them!

[@daviddobinson467]

Hi Justin, yes I love to hear the history behind a tool and it’s application, keep up the great work👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@Dunbras]

OOooh I do like a history lesson. Big thumbs up from me

[@georgesweap7]

A narrative of the history on the manufacturer is important to convey since you will be displaying this as an exhibit in the museum. So, I say yes to the company’s history being given in the video!

[@rqanderson514]

I really liked the history bit. It adds tremendous value to the video.

[@davidcoats1037]

Hey Justin. Yes you should include the history of the item being restored whenever possible. As a museum curator, you should make us take the history lesson whether we like it or not. 😂 Keep up the great work!

[@tomtruesdale6901]

Another great job. Like many others said adding the history of the tool and the people that used it is a great way to teach people about our past. Also when you have to make a part you might say a little about that need and the what is needed to do so. Thanks for doing what you do.

[@remoc52357]

Yes, yes, yes, I love history of this country......please include in your videos!

[@jasonlindsey4928]

It's always nice to know the history on a piece! Keep up the good work it's a pleasure knowing the things you restore are put back to the glory they once were.

[@ialokinstein]

LOVE having the history background on the item!!!!

[@jamesstanlake4064]

My two cents is it is critical we understand history and the value of American manufacturing. It is essential we remember it or we will lose it forever.

[@dannyl2598]

Yes I like the background information. I'm enjoying the new format and improved production quality. Thanks.

[@3DPrintingPiper]

I've binged most of your videos this week. You have a great speaking voice and should definitely include the history of the tool, machine, etc. Great job and keep up the good work.

[@attackhelicopter2473]

I appreciate the history lessons. Keep them coming

[@theflannelfisherman8329]

As a soon to be 3rd generation aircraft mechanic finding this was a gem. Excellent work and you have a new subscriber

[@dannylaclear5149]

I absolutely love the history of the equipment!!!

[@jeffsalt2080]

Great work, Justin. I love hearing the history of the tools and companies. It is interesting to hear how some vintage companies are still making tools today.

[@glennbelldc1651]

Yes Justin More history on tools and equipment being restored.

[@Mr.Donahue]

Historical information is greatly appreciated!

[@AntonioClaudioMichael]

Yes justin include the history on future videos it makes watching the video more fun

[@jimsymes3181]

Yes , I like the history of the machines you rebuild. Love most of your videos.

[@jimchurchill1375]

Enjoy the restorations and yes more of the back story of the tool would be great

[@joecool509]

History is an added benefit to the video for sure.

[@Chiromedicare]

I like the commentary on the tool and history of the company.

[@gregorythomas333]

I would love to hear the history of the items being restored...I really enjoy learning about things like that. The fabrication of that indicator was great!

[@tommywilliamson152]

American made to me made in the U.S.A. of U.S. made components by the finest craftspeople in the world. Absolutely loved the history of the company at the beginning.

[@celstonesonsvintagemachine6311]

I love the history lesson at the start of the video I hope you include it in others love your channel thank you for the videos

[@brianrust5275]

The historical info is great!!!! Please keep it up!! Awesome job Justin!!!

[@lourias]

Historical information would be GREAT!!! It would set your restoration videos above all others!

[@edmarkham2632]

Yes, the history is very important. We need to know what those before us went through to survive and succeed. As the old saying goes,, those who don't their history are bound to repeat it. Very nice job.

[@gayle525]

I just love all the stuff you restore and forge in your museum. I wish I could send you money but I don’t have any to spare. ( living on disability) Please keep making these videos.

[@carpinosmetalworks]

Amazing I live in Buffalo N.Y. and work for local 71 sheet metal union. We use these type of vintage metal tools all the time. And I'd still would rather have a vintage Chicago/Niagara break than any new piece of hand machinery. I learned how to form metal on machinery just like this. Then went to a m I re modern shop. And for 12 years I use a Roper Whitney auto break. I gotta say for production and precision you can't beat it. But when it broke down and they had to fly someone in from Chicago to service it. Knowbody could figure out the bending orders because the machine pretty much did it for you. So nobody could bend up decorative cornice work. Kinda funny some never laid out metal and prick punched your bend marks. It was like teachold dogs new tricks. Not to mention all the old timers who bent America on those vintage breaks. GREAT JOB 👍

[@ottepedersen9219]

The back stories are awesome,thank you.

[@markosborne9161]

Yes, historical background during the videos would be very interesting to me. Thanks!

[@pilgrimm23]

Justin: I salute your work. DAYUM! Speaking as someone who restored a 1920 Dalton Lathe to function.... I see a man.... a man who KNOWS HOW IT IS DONE.. not for show.... FOR WORK! To Use, to bruise your hands on, to mold America on, to make our HERITAGE on. Again man, I salute you. That is Beauty. The Beauty that shaped a nation. Thank you brother. If I am lucky I will be in Texas next year. Hold your gathering again..

[@TheGoodoftheLand]

Thanks Brother! Your comments are what keeps me going! I have read every one .

[@jeffcaudillCRUM]

Justin your voice over historical facts are great. I've been a long time follower love your channel

[@mramanya]

Watching the restoration is great, hearing the history that goes with it is the cherry on top. Way yo go Justin. 😁

[@JohnBare747]

For sure on the history of the tools makes the video more interesting and professional and is just dang cool.

[@earlbond007]

Thanks for these videos very informative please do include the history! Maybe do a series on restoring older tools for your home shop, and maybe a history of shops and garages

[@kengermer]

What American made means to me, is using the raw materials, labor and ingenuity from America to build the tool or device. I love to see the restoration of these classic tools. It is so rewarding to be able to repair or restore a tool that is over a 100 years old and it can continue to be useful for another 100 years. There is a movement in the USA to garner the right to fix or restore your items and tools that you own. Not like in the past where the equipment was designed to be repaired by any competent mechanic. Also planned obsolescence had not been invented yet.

[@GadgetBiker]

Knowing a little history of the equipment you are restoring would be a good thing. Keep up the good work!

[@PilchPlays]

Love the history lessons with the restorations. Keep that up!

[@AntonioClaudioMichael]

Love that your talking about the history great add on to your videos

[@douglasrdeaton]

Really liked the history about the tool.

[@nosyaj007]

Love the idea of the bit of history about the tools and love your work keep it up

[@mavos1211]

What a beautiful restoration, you guys do such amazing work preserving our past to protect our future. The traditions and values of our forefathers, the hard work and dedication they applied to every day chores and work just to provide for their loved ones is a value and standard that is just as important to teach our youth today. They need to learn that they won’t get everything they desire just because they want it.

[@nsegraves933]

Great job. Really liked the tool history lesson.

[@thiggy1249]

I find information about the tool and/or the manufacturer very interesting and would certainly encourage to include this in future videos. Stan in Birmingham

[@johncrowell9014]

Would love more of the history! Keep up the good work!

[@tomim7187]

I would love to have a small break like that. Great job, guys!

[@clayashby7389]

Looks great. We talked about it when we stopped by and talked to you. Glad to see how it turned out. Good to know it's getting a good home.

[@planejet42]

Yes! More historical background on the items!

[@lenshreck6263]

Absolutely on the historical content

[@longcaster]

Justin, you asked for several comments. First, some observations; you have improved greatly, the lighting, the camera work, the timing of scenes, and editing. Well done sir. Adding some history educates you as well as us. Your speaking has lost the fear you had a while ago, heck you were new at this. Stay calm, take your time. As has been said by others tools are but one state of matter between the mine and the scrap yard.

[@SimonMurrayPhuket]

Hi Justin, you can rely on my vote all the way from Thailand, love your videos and also the way you are renovating these amazing tools so they can be seen and used by the newer generations, keep up the great work and I would be interested in any historical facts you have about the items you restore - it gives them more character and more understanding for what they were used for. Awesome video as always and good luck!

[@team6274]

another great vid! absolutely a pleasure watching your channel evolve so much in such a short period, love the history lesson idea!

[@phillully4472]

This very kool, yes I'd like to hear some historical background on any piece being restored! Keep the Great content about our industrial past ! Thx.

[@WeTrudgeOn]

What a beautiful restoration! I was in the sheet metal trade for 32 years. The technical name for that is a bar folder, their specialty is drive-cleats and S-locks.

[@SVSeeker]

You're doing an awesome job there Justin. Keep it up.

[@TheGoodoftheLand]

+SV Seeker Thank you Doug!

[@williamcartwright8726]

Love the historical content . Would love more...

[@barrettgpeck]

I definitely like both aspects of this video, a story behind the tool and some history and the quiet bits as well. I know Hand Tool Rescue does commentary videos for his Patreons, that might be something to look into.

[@peterwhitejr.9374]

Thumbs up man and the history lesson was a great addition to the resto

[@SkullCrusher757]

id love to learn the history while watching the thing be restored

[@shookings]

The history bits are great. Love your stuff.

[@stuartwatson3178]

when i saw the "brake" press bought back memory's.I was 15-16 year's old working on the railways of nsw aust. The same press shown we used to make presion parts for signal boxesback in 1969

[@lordtwister3200]

more history on the tools you restore would be great.

[@brianwolf692009]

History of the restoration project is a kinda needed so we can see how the inventors thought and struggled back in the day.

[@kennethbrown109]

Great intro. Really like the historical aspect.
