Struck Drill Press Vise Follow UpTips

[@tek4]

First off I want to say thank you mr. Pete. I know you can't look at all the comments but I hope you see this one. When you make comments disparaging or about lack of viewership wondering if we are with you, I would like you to know you are my top KZbin person, shop teacher, and content creator. I tried to make every how to video, and learn the knowledge you're trying to pass on. Even if nobody else in the world watches your video please know that I watch every video weather that is watching paint dry or grass growing. I love you mister Pete, and I appreciate what you do for us.

[@nogmeerjan]

There is something magical about MR Pete's rambling that forces me to watch till the end. Even if it is growing grass or drying paint. I fully agree on that.

[@mrpete222]

Thank you very much for that heartfelt comment. It was very encouraging to me. And will help me continue on my mission. I'm surprised that someone has seen all of my videos. Because there are a lot of them. Thanks for your faithfulness

[@mrpete222]

Thank you for that

[@MrUbiquitousTech]

tek413 well said and I agree 100% And Mr. Pete does well in reading and responding to comments; which must be quite a task considering the size of his channel.

[@tek4]

mrpete222 I have 2 son's, and instead if the garbage on tv, over the last several years, we have watched every video and some more then once. I use the instruction to learn, and show my son's how the world is made. We love it. You are my shop teacher, and there's. They are 6 and 8. I've also done some videos with them, and it's all good stuff. Not the junk on tv. By replying you have also made my week Mr.P.

[@dons8365]

You may not realize it, but when you go down memory lane you take all of is with you. I for one like the memories that come back to me that get triggered when you talk of yours. Keep up the videos exactly the way you have been. Only regret is that we at our high school never had the option of having a machine shop of a teacher such as you. If I had very possible I would have taken another road in life. Keep what you do the same---- never change.

[@mrpete222]

Thank you for watering. And I'm sorry that most of the industrial arts programs have been closed

[@jamesstanlake4064]

Do not evere change. You may think there is no value in what you say but it is you relating the experience and that we all can learn from. Thank you for sharing yours!

[@russdavis1960]

40+ years ago I was blessed with having an excellent shop teacher and an auto body repair instructor. Now I'm blessed with another shop teacher via the internet. Thanks for taking the time to make and share ALL you do. Even if it's only talking, there's always something to learn.

[@mrpete222]

Thank you for watching. I'm glad you had a good shop teacher

[@SootySweep22]

Please never stop making videos, Mr Pete. You’re the grandfather I always wanted! Ha

[@mrpete222]

Thank you very much

[@stxrynn]

Yes, sir, I'm still here. I used to work at Marathon LeTourneau in the industrial engineering department. They asked for a poster design to encourage folks to wear their safety glasses in the shop, so I sat down and drew one up. I used a man's face from my first drafting book (go Texas Tech!), and a finger from the old Harvard Graphics program. The finger was poking the guy in the eye, and it said, Don't forget your safety glasses! I saw that on the door of the machine tool lab when I went back to LeTourneau several years later. My name wasn't on there anymore..... Theft of ideas makes the world go around, I guess. Every day can't be lab, sometimes we need the lecture. Getting a peek at your history is good stuff. Thanks for the info, Professor Pete!!

[@stxrynn]

Somehow, "when I went back to LeTourneau University" came out just LeTourneau.... oops.

[@mrpete222]

Thank you for watching. It rather hurts when someone steals from you, and then takes credit

[@bc65925]

I stuck with the video to the end and found it all interesting. And folks always talk a lot about the negative comments and not so much about the positive. Don't give the negative folk air time that's why they come back. Remember Johnny Mercer said it best You've got to accentuate the positive Eliminate the negative And latch on to the affirmative Don't mess with Mister In-Between

[@mrpete222]

Thank you, for the encouragement. And I remember that song very well

[@samdavis5079]

I watched the entire video because, you never know what you might learn from an interesting conversation. Thank you Mr Pete

[@mrpete222]

Thank you very much

[@d3faulted2]

Sometimes you learn more from listening to someone ramble on than you do watching them do something. I enjoy these videos.

[@mrpete222]

Thank you

[@JamesDedmon]

Enjoyed the rambling, I noticed the pictures was from Aug 73. That was 3 months before I started in my first machine shop job. I worked evenings for a few hours before I graduated high school in May of 74. The same gentleman hired me full time after that, worked there until I went to Eaton (Fuller Transmission) where I stayed for 40 Year’s. The trip down memory lane was fun

[@mrpete222]

Thank you for watching, sounds like you had a good long career at fuller

[@Crewsy]

Keep on telling your stories Sir. Without people like yourself passing on information from the past it will all be forgotten. I wish the idea of having metal shop wasn’t on the decline when I started Highschool in 1981 but at my school there was a shop but only offered in grade 9 & 10. 😢

[@donstor1]

True hero’s today are the ones willing to pass along the information of their craft. Please do not listen to the trolls as they only exist to hurt others in order to justify their existence. They have no wisdom of their own. Lots of us love to watch and learn Mr. Pete. You rock! Please keep your teaching coming.

[@mrpete222]

Thank you for your support

[@MrRShoaf]

Lyle, As the father of a recent high school graduate, what I really appreciate is the fact that while the idiots that scrapped the shop programs in schools will hopefully restore the curriculum, your videos can give a lot of practical advice to the shop teachers to follow. While too late for my son, perhaps my grandson might benefit.

[@mrpete222]

The programs will never be fully restored

[@Mad-Duk_Machine_Werkes]

Mr. Pete, love you man - I only wish you lived closer, I retired early and now at 49yrs old, I'd be over there sweeping your floors and helping you lift heavy stuff just to sit around and listen to your cool old stories! Please keep making videos forever my friend!

[@mrpete222]

Thank you very much, my floor does need sweeping

[@wb8ujb]

Great project, and appreciate a chance to listen to you explaining things as you did in this video. I had teachers like you in school. I remember those lectures, projects till this day. I am nearing 70 in age now. Don't put yourself down. You do a great job and we as a community appreciate that. Thank You Sir! Bob Mitchell - Prescott, MI

[@mrpete222]

Thank you for watching and for encouraging me

[@ottoreuter6279]

Greatly appreciated! Would love to hear more about all of the other subjects you mentioned. The reason that the negative or mean comments hurt your feelings is because you care so much, which is exactly the reason that the vast majority of your viewers and fans love your work like we do. I'm sure one of the great satisfactions of being a teacher is finding out that you've really reached or inspired someone, and I think the comments prove you've done that on a weekly basis.

[@mrpete222]

Thank you, that was a great comment. And you encouraged me

[@grntitan1]

mrpete, I(and I am sure I speak for the majority here) am with in every video from start to finish no matter the subject. I particularly like your "side bars" and "rants' as well as the detailed explanations you give on things. Keep doing what you have always done.

[@mrpete222]

Thank you very much

[@rongrosstube]

Absolutely love this compendium of drill press vises. I have an old Dunlap 103 like one of yours and I have corrected it's poorness by flattening the bottom, milling the top two faces flat to match the bottom and made a new slider that rides on a flattened set of rails and is setup to eliminate most of the slop when tight. It works pretty well for medium-precision drill press work. Thank you for the interesting and informative video! Great tip about the turning down of acorn nuts!

[@FreezerBurn.]

It’s 7am Saturday morning, the wife is still sleeping, i’m enjoying bacon and eggs and watching Mr Pete. Life is good!

[@mrpete222]

That sounds rather cozy

[@FreezerBurn.]

wouldn't have it any other way Sir

[@blickberg8404]

Your videos are so awesome Mr. Pete. I had a friend in college that was big into bowling and one day he told our small group of EEs that he and his dad were going out of town to compete on a bowling tournament. Not having any idea about bowling I asked him how many bowling balls are you going to take with you. His response was "22". I almost died laughing. So I asked him why would you need so many. His reply was even better. With the most serious look on his face he said "Cuz you dont know what conditions you're going to run into". I think about that when I see that people have a lot of similar tools. But it's true, you never know when you'll need that one special vise for a particular job. I look forward to your video on vises.

[@mrpete222]

Thank you very much

[@champtree]

I enjoyed all 4 parts! Love your stories. My Dad who was a tool and die maker, passed away years ago, never showed me anything about machining. So you now fit the bill. Have his lathe now looking for a mill. Thanks Mr Pete.

[@mrpete222]

Thank you for watching. Too bad about your father. But my two boys, had no interest at all in my shop

[@dannywilsher4165]

Favorable comments are all I can think to make for you Mr. Pete!!! You are the best channel on YT and don't you ever doubt that!!! I can't tell you I have watched every video you have but if I have missed any, it is very few and I, like so many, have watched lots of them numerous times. So that makes up for the few I might have missed. I have even turned my sons and grandsons on to you and they watch also. We all enjoy everything you do. I have commented several times on how I love your comments, rants and views. If you ever stop being yourself, it will break a whole lot of hearts out here in KZbin land!!! We thrive on getting our tubalcain fix every few day. So let this be a warning, keep the videos coming or you just might get way more people than you can handle come to your shop and force you to turn out videos and continue to give us what we want and need!!!! LOL that sounds kind of creepy or weird but hopefully you get the gist of what we are all telling you. Like Harold always says, keep on keeping on!!! We all love you Mr. Pete!!!

[@mrpete222]

Thank you very much Danny. I'm glad you enjoyed the videos. Your comment has encouraged me greatly. And I will forge ahead with many more videos and ideas that I have.

[@modtwentyeight]

I don't know about the rest of you people, but I could listen to Mr. Pete for days. I wish my shop teacher had a voice like that. Most interesting.

[@mrpete222]

Thank you very much

[@jayrobertson64]

Never boring. Very informitive for a non machinist that wants to learn all he can. If i lived next door you would have to kick me out of your shop every day so you could rest. Keep up the good work mr pete.

[@mrpete222]

Thank you for watching, I really have no neighbors that are interested in what I am doing

[@timdouglass9831]

I really love the long discourses on sometimes odd topics. I have learned a lot of very interesting stuff from you over the years, so please keep it up as long as you are able. You are of the age that you could have been one of my shop teachers in High School, so this all does take me back. I'd really love to see and hear more about your company and the different patterns you made.

[@Clough42]

These videos are fun. The history that comes up in your ramblings is interesting. Keep it up!

[@mrpete222]

I'm glad you liked it

[@Clough42]

My grandpa was a farmer and I spent hours and hours as a kid in the shop with him, fixing farm equipment. He bought a couple of new Massey Furguson tractors in the mid '70s, but other than those, he was running mostly pre-1950 equipment right up into the 2000s. Your rambling and appreciation of old tools remind me of him. He had one joke he used all the time. When I was struggling to remove a lug nut, he would come over, turn it easily and then say "Well, if you pull hard, it comes easy!" Now I'm rambling. My point is this. I'm sure you have viewers who just tune in to see the chips fly, but for a lot of us, your rambling tangents and appreciation for history are the reason we watch.

[@robertfrazier7491]

I saw a cartoon this morning and I agreed completely with the message. The caption said, "The worst thing about aging is that the older you become, the further away the good old days get," Credit to Ziggy and friends. I enjoy your reminiscing.

[@mrpete222]

Thank you, that sounds like a good cartoon

[@robertwatsonbath]

Many thanks Mr Pete, I enjoyed that one. Looking forward to hearing about big micrometer you referred to at 22:18. Don't worry you're not talking to yourself, there are plenty of us here listening!

[@mrpete222]

Thank you very much for watching

[@TheUlrikkaul]

I do not mind talking videos, there are just as educadtional as "working" videos. The thing is, we still learn a lot from you. Just let them come, MrPete222!

[@mrpete222]

Thank you very much

[@chuckfischer7202]

Twenty-five vises, fifty mikes, now I have goals! Always enjoy your videos. Thank you.

[@mrpete222]

And mighty lofty goals they are, LOL

[@ptdecker]

Keep it up, Mr. Pete. Don’t let ‘me bring you down. Your videos are excellent and full of wisdom and understanding.

[@mrpete222]

Thank you, I'm glad you like my videos

[@johntompkins147]

Thank you Mr Pete for sharing history that you were actually apart of, I think this adds tremendous value to your presentations. It's not a bunch of hearsay or theory but truth. Much appreciated!!! I Enjoy your videos

[@mrpete222]

Thank you, I'm glad you like my videos

[@rupert5390]

always something to learn your are the best presenter in this format, i.e this great mix of practical tuition and historical anecdotes, not to mention your easy to listen to style - you are the top of many peoples lists i access all other makers through this channel - fantastic -

[@anonymousgeorge4321]

I appreciate hearing your stories. Don't ever stop.

[@mrpete222]

Thanks

[@fireandsteam5164]

I watched every second of the video and loved it. I would venture to say that most folks that criticize anything you do have never or have done very little machining. Those of us that have machined understand there are many ways to get the same end result. Love your videos and and your true American values!!!

[@mrpete222]

Thank you very much for a positive comment. You have encouraged me

[@OleGramps53]

I’ve enjoyed this video and you’ve kept me involved with part of my former career with making parts for repairs on machinery either stationary or mobile. I worked for International Harvester, and GMC as heavy equipment mechanic. Each job had a different problem to overcome and the challenge to figure out how to get the equipment up and operational again. So Mr. Pete keep on talking you are still educating people!

[@mrpete222]

Thank you for watering. And that must be a tough job working on a heavy dirty machinery and all kinds of weather. And with the pressure to get it up and running

[@mikez4221]

I took a basic machining class at Lorain Community College around 2005. They used those castings, but I had no idea they were made locally. Your yester-year stories are always interesting. Would love to hear more about the casting kits and company you built. Thanks for the well produced videos.

[@mrpete222]

Thank you for watching. It's interesting that they are still making vise s in schools

[@tommccall7540]

Mr. Pete, please keep talking about all your projects and the interested people will listen. Machine on.

[@mrpete222]

Thank you, I shall

[@milantrcka121]

Fascinating, Mr. Pete. Thank you for a trip in history. I wonder if any of your students watched the Struck Vise videos and said: "I made one just like it!". I still remember making a hacksaw in my shop class some time mid 60's. You and my teacher have a lot in common even though we were on different continents. Thanks again! Milan

[@mrpete222]

Thank you. We made a hacksaw's in my beginning middle classes

[@russelallen5342]

I wish our high school metal/machine shop had a teacher like you, I wouldn't have dropped the class. You are a great teacher, you remind me of my auto shop teacher, Mr. Smith, another great teacher!

[@mrpete222]

Thank you very much, keep watching

[@andymandyandsheba4571]

enjoyed mr pete i like it when you talk about years gone by

[@BentTreeFarmPa]

I'm still here Mr. Pete, I always watch the whole video. Thanks for taking the time to make them.

[@mrpete222]

Thanks for watching the whole thing

[@bltventure]

If nothing else I always learn something and have a chuckle. Trying to keep all the knowledge until I have my own mill is the hard part. My brain is full of CNC programming for my router and now a laser. I practice sometimes at my Dads who has a mill and a South Bend lathe. I made a wobbler engine after watching you do one. Keep up the great work. Talking, 3d printing, machining... it’s all good!

[@mrpete222]

Thank you for watching,. I'm glad you made a wobbler. I wish I had your high tech background

[@stime6472]

I like to say that you have taught me so much over the years and I that you for that. As far as your stories I LOVE THEM! I could listen to them for hours. Im glad to see that you still have that part of your past and I do hope you share them with your grand kids. By telling your story's on the internet it allows you to live forever and in the future your descendants will be able to see who you were and some of the things that you did in your life time. My wife and I manufacture thousands and thousand of tin cookie cutters that are sold all over the world and we try to tell our kids and grand kids as much as we can so that some day they might remember who we were and what we did. I hope that you and your family have a very happy Easter. Thank you Mr Pete!

[@mrpete222]

Thank you for watching. Everything you said is very true. That must be very satisfying selling all of those cookie cutters.

[@stime6472]

Yes it is but it's even better seeing what people can create with them.

[@robrobinson6706]

We are here with you Mr Pete. As long as you are speaking, I'm listening.

[@mrpete222]

Thanks

[@thomasjake3920]

Still with you at the 15:30 mark... Intending to watch the whole thing. Thanks Mr Pete!

[@mrpete222]

Thank you, stay with it

[@brucewebb8749]

I remember these vices from my high school days and shop class with Mr. Bill Ball (the teacher) he is quite well known in the machining industry in my area. I remember making a bunch of these that other students had started then abandoned and learned how to "fix" their mistakes. I got pretty good at it and could turn them out in about 4 hours of class time. Keep up your great work !

[@mrpete222]

Thank you for watching. It sounds like you got pretty good at making of those vise s.

[@billlee5307]

Mr. Pete, keeping talking! You are not the only person with a hoarding problem. I have a box somewhere with a set of unfinished planishing hammer heads that I believe came from Casting Specialities. I've had them for more than 30 years!

[@mrpete222]

Thank you for watching, it was good to hear from another hoarder

[@kurtg5645]

Hi mr pete. I'm an audience from China and I'm very enjoyed listen to all these stories.

[@mrpete222]

Thank you for watching from the other side of the world

[@michaelstorm8578]

Mr. Pete, you are a man of many vises.

[@mrpete222]

I am indeed

[@ralphgould2783]

Mr. Pete, I enjoyed the video project and your discussion about the Struck Company. I was fortunate to have a great machine shop teacher Mr. Lyle Beltz. For years after he retired, former students would go by and visit him. It's a shame high schools have abandoned vocational Ed. Mr. father always told me you should have two ways to make a living. He was a machinist with GE. I became an engineer, but I still had the three years of machine shop from high school to fall back on. Twenty years later I purchased a South Bend lathe and. Jet copy of the Atlas/Clausing milling machine. Still have both out in the shop. Enjoy your videos! Ralph Gould

[@mrpete222]

I'm surprised by how many people enjoy the video about struck. I'm glad you had a great teacher. I knew many wonderful shop teachers. There were also some bad ones of course. And I agree with your dad, you should have several skills in life, to make a living. Most people have no skills, and that saddens me. Keep watching

[@rwhoward2582]

I enjoy you talking about your days of teaching. old days in general. Thanks

[@mrpete222]

Thank you, those were the good old days

[@THE_PeglegSwantoon]

Mr. Pete, it's almost always enjoyable watching your videos, and it's a sad state of affairs that so few people have patience enough to listen to the back-story behind products and processes to fully appreciate the context of the past. It is through our understanding and interpretation of the past that we find directions to the future. I cannot speak for another person, but I would LOVE to hear more about your pattern company and projects that were offered through it, perhaps even as projects on your channel here.

[@THE_PeglegSwantoon]

I forgot to mention, if there was any way of obtaining copies of the Peterson Products patterns or castings derived from them, I would be terribly interested

[@mrpete222]

Thank you for watching, maybe a video on the pattern business will be upcoming

[@mrpete222]

Nothing left of my business except the drawings I showed you. And that C clamp out in New Mexico

[@THE_PeglegSwantoon]

Mr. Pete, if you were able to find more of your product information, and were to put it on here, I'm sure I'm not alone in wanting to make projects that are tied back to you and your company. I would LOVE to build your vices and that sweet-looking belt sander, even if I had to reverse engineer them from the blueprints

[@TheJackBaker]

I really want to see the big micrometer made please!!!!! I love you videos, I wait and wait for all of them. I am ordering a Vise kit to do with my son, he is 9 1/2 years old and just old enough to be safe in the the shop. I will be passing on all of the lessons you teach on your channel. it will pass on all of the wonderful skills you teach. Thank you so much for taking your time to make these life lessons.

[@mrpete222]

Thank you for watching, but I have no intentions of making any more big micrometers. I already made 10,000 of them. Yes, make a project with your boy

[@xkabedaruhe2956]

Mr. Pete, I am always glad when I see you have a new video published and really enjoy your stories. Thanks!

This was fun. Saturday morning, a cup of coffee and Tubalcain chatting about drill press vises. Thanks.

[@mrpete222]

I'm glad you liked it

[@Siskiyous6]

Outstanding! Consistently your narative makes the cutting educational. So many KZbin videos are just metal cutting. And also many are talk without content. Be yourself sir, your not just one of a kind, your the cream of the crop. I loved your blueprint, made with templates for lettering I noticed. It is a lost art indeed in the age of the computer, to create such crisp readable drawings. Happy Easter.

[@mrpete222]

Thank you very much. I'm glad you liked my drawings. You're the first to ever complement them

[@tinusvdh1571]

[@mrpete222]

Thank you for watching norm. It's good to hear from other shop teachers

[@roylucas1027]

Mr. Pete, thank you for providing a very interesting snapshot on the life and times of you. What you talk about is of interest to some (others and myself). There's a lot of wisdom in your commentary and I listen very carefully in hopes to become a little wiser myself.

[@mrpete222]

Thank you, I'm glad you liked it

[@railwaybob1886]

Hey Mr Pete. I watched it all from beginning to end. Very nicely done! Craftsmanship! Keep 'em coming!

[@mrpete222]

Thank you for watching

[@howardlee259]

Please please please stop talking your self down, real craftsmen like yourself are becoming a rare breed. Your willingness to pass on your knowledge is very commendable. I would like to see a video about those vices and how and when to use different types.

[@mrpete222]

Sorry, I am always one to beat myself up. Thank you for watching

[@Watchyn_Yarwood]

You have the most watchable and instructable (if that's a word) machinist videos on KZbin! I appreciate all the time and effort you put into sharing your vast knowledge with us all! p.s. In regards to Acme threads, abom79 has an excellent video on grinding a tool for cutting internal Acme threads on a lathe. No tap necessary.

[@mrpete222]

Thank you very much for saying that about my instruction. A half inch hole, is too small to thread by a boring bar

[@mikenixon9164]

Good video as always. Like your sense of humor .& we are all happy with your videos or why watch them.

[@mrpete222]

Thank you very much keep watching

[@RRINTHESHOP]

The more vises the more fun life is. Great stories, enjoyed.

[@mrpete222]

👌👌👌👌

[@JunkMikesWorld]

Lyle, I enjoyed this series immensely! I am sure it is because I too am a shop teacher. So many companies that once made supplies for school shops are now long gone. I remember when I was in college at Kent State University in the early 1990s, I found unfinished castings of a small gasoline engine in one of the storage areas. I wished that I could get such a kit and build a small engine myself. However I never have seen such kits available. I at one time regularly used a company called Retco Alloy as a supplier of project materials. I would get oil hardening drill rod and beautiful clear yellow extruded screwdriver handle stock and the kids would build a screwdriver with these materials. If they took there time and would follow directions they would end up with a very nice screwdriver. (most did not) Retco is now gone. I once called them to order more tool box hardware for my class only to find the number was disconnected. My students would also build drill press vises. Ours were all built from bar stock and were a heck of a lot more expensive than those casting kits you showed in your video. As for the man who stole your design, drawings, and patterns. I am reminded of two old sayings: "Imitation is the most sincere form of flattery." and "Education is a lot like magic, you find someone with a good act and steal it!" All the best! Your friend in Ohio! Mike

[@mrpete222]

It's good to hear from another shop teacher. I ordered 90% of my steel and supplies from a retro. I still remember their address in elk Grove Village. They had great service and good prices. Are used to buy their toolbox kids. They will send me a ham every Christmas. And yes, imitation is the sincerest form of flattery he. I will not pursue any damages. As you can imagine, there wasn't much money to be made anyway.keep watching

[@JunkMikesWorld]

Damn! I never got a ham, not even a key chain :( LOL

[@herbhartman7528]

HaHaHa enjoyed! Didn't know you were/are also in business! My hat is off to you for teaching and putting up with all the shenanigants kids can come up with plus all the damage they can do, God bless you!

[@mrpete222]

You need lots of tolerance to be a teacher

[@josephwilson6651]

As I have alluded many times beforehand,it is a privilege to be able to glean knowledge from one whom has much to contribute such as your good self.Please thank Mrs.Peterson for squirreling away those papers, as an avid reader of blueprints, and a former mechanical draftsman in training, I very much appreciate the past tense before the computer stole my hopeful career as an mechanical draftsman. It was at the event horizon of all manual arts when I began my working life. Thence came the devouring monster of computer automation, obliterating what had been millenia of human centered endeavor ,now eclipsed by his own creation.We now can not live a complete life without this the offspring of our desire for rapidity of calculation! How's that for a rant Mr.Pete?

[@mrpete222]

Thank you for watching, I'm glad my wife kept that in a file

[@kardeef33317]

Thank you for sharing your expertise, experiance and wisdom.

[@mrpete222]

Thank you for watching

Yes, professor, we are still watching (at least I am). Not all classes are lab work, some are lectures, and that's perfectly fine with me. Please spew the knowledge however you see fit. 😉 I also enjoy your stories.

[@mrpete222]

Thank you very much

[@WishIwasBrit]

Rock on Mr. Pete! Always look forward to your new videos, and between them I am working my way through your archive - thank you for everything! So far as you talking goes, the more the better, period. I'm sure I speak for many here when I say I greatly enjoy listening to your stories, and quit honestly, your ramblings :) your sense of humor just kills me!

I assembled a Struck MiniDozer in my teen years. We used it to pull up the frames on our A-frame house during construction. It had a lot of pulling power, but the crazy belt drive system required a lot of “fussing” with to keep it operational.

[@mrpete222]

It's good to hear from someone that actually used a dozer. I remember them from when I visited the struck company. I think they were just starting to make them at that time

[@elmarqo_3448]

Thanks for making these videos Mr Pete. I really enjoy your anecdotes.

[@mrpete222]

Thank you for watching

Beating a dead horse TIPS #441,without any machining. I've got a R.R. vise I can't get off the floor, that's one too many. Keep on ranting, we'll keep watching. Thanks Mr. Pete

[@mrpete222]

Thank you for watching. Yes, I don't want any of those big heavy vises

[@raymondclark1458]

Another ~Watcher~ (& Listener) to you. You see, as a Youth 13/14 years old, I was Adopted by "the Little Old Lady" across the street: I grew Up never Knowing my Grandparents, and ~That~ is how I thought of Viola, she was my Adopted GrandParent. And From Her, I learned. Everything that was Important to me for the Next 55 Years, I'll be 68 next month. Viola was a Rosie the Riveter. I KNOW you KNOW what that means. I'll Not share for others they Can WEB Search it. Mr. Pete222, I never get tired of Listening to my Elders, and I learned WHAT that meant from Viola!!! Thank you for ~Still Teaching Shop~.

[@mrpete222]

Thank you for the nice comment. She must've been a wonderful lady to check you win like that. I am 74 years old, keep watching

[@mrpete222]

I meant to say, she was a wonderful woman to take you in, and spend time with you like she did.

[@19441978]

Interesting history as usual. Keep on keeping on Mr. Pete, love the videos. When you reach our age we tend to live in the past at times. Was easier in so many ways back in the day. Thanks

[@mrpete222]

Thank you, methinks I reminisce too much

[@richardgregory6653]

thanks Prof. Peterson, remember the only thing constant in the world is change!

[@mrpete222]

You got that right

As I've said before Mr. Pete, I personally, really enjoy your videos - All of them. As +Don S said below, I agree. It's the memories they bring forth for us older geezers, but it's also for younger people and those in between with a bent for learning something every day and *_sharing_* that knowledge, experience, successes and failures with others toward that ever expanding growth of humanity that make videos like yours a treasure. As kids I think most of us didn't necessarily want to hear some geezer spew on about things, mainly because we were busy trying to wrestle the world in our own terms, but it was a short phase (at least for me) in a long life of "learning & living" as best we can. A year or so ago I saw the movie "The Intern" with De Niro & Anne Hathaway at a time when I was once again wondering "OK, now What?" and was inspired by the arc of the film and it's timely theme when there are so many coming into those ages and questions. Starting as a Token Geezer in a Hi-Tec start up De Niro was a steady beacon of positivity, experience and wisdom that led to a Respect that pretty much saved the company to become the real vision of the founder (Anne Hathaway). To me it came down to something I've felt for quite a while, that those generations and values are being swept away at an unprecedented pace by the speed we live and the tech we are exponentially creating, instead of incorporating the best of those people and values toward our growth and with more than 144 characters of text. Whelp, I spewed again, but it's my story and I'm sticking to it. ;-P Until Then Mr. Pete, - Respect!

[@mrpete222]

Thank you, I will have to watch that movie. And I appreciate your dialogue

[@locktown]

Thank you Mr. Pete. Very interesting, please keep teaching us.

[@mrpete222]

Thank you, I will

[@cgoins1980]

Greatly enjoy your videos, and it doesnt matter whether your making chips or reminising. I could and have spent many hours enjoying them, and have never gotten the chance to use a lathe or mill. Have spent quite alot of time over the years even looking for something to breathe some new life into, day late and dollar short its managed to elude me thus far, but just makes it so much sweeter when it does.

[@mrpete222]

Thank you for watching. I am a day late and a dollar short in many areas of my life

[@PeopleAlreadyDidThis]

Love hearing all the stories, would like to hear more about Peterson Products (and the oaf who’s profiting from your design). I didn’t comment but did note the setup for the screw bore; I will remember that! Yes, I watched ‘til the end. Always interesting. Those who find it uninteresting should quietly change the channel, but courteous behavior is largely dead. I’ve said it before: I’ll be happy as long as you keep saying you have five more years to live, with every new year. Stay with us, keep making chips, keep making videos, keep talking. Oh, and better quit chopping up Mrs. Pete’s kitchenware, before she throws out your cool old files.

[@mrpete222]

Thank you for watching, I was surprised at how many people showed an interest in my old company. Keep watching

[@TheMainlinehobo]

Just a great and really interesting video! I love to hear all about your experiences and past businesses. Just terrific. And thanks for showing the other castings companies. I just ordered 2 of the drill press kits a moment ago. Cheers!

[@mrpete222]

Thank you for watching. I think the casting company is going to have a run on those vises.

[@chrisj4570g]

LOVED hearing about your old company. I'd enjoy hearing more about it! I'd also be interested in hearing how your conversation with the thief goes.

[@mrpete222]

Thank you for watching

[@nowayjerk8064]

thank you miss pete for keeping the paper work very nice mam!!!! great vid i watched till the end!!!!

[@Zrambo49]

I enjoy watching you. You have so much knowledge. And yes so far I made your tap follower. Now that I have my Atlas Horizontal mill up and running, I hope to make more of your projects.

[@mrpete222]

Thanks for watching. Yes, crank up that atlas mill

[@shaunadams2143]

Well Mr Pete I watched all your video as always. Thoroughly enjoyed it you made me laugh at the spinning vices .I find most of you're thoughts interesting and for one would like to hear more about your experiences . Thanks for taking the time to share with us. Best regards Shaun from England 😀

[@mrpete222]

Thank you for watching

[@bwalbwal7895]

Great video. I always love watching Mr Pete’s videos.!

[@mrpete222]

Thank you very much

[@michaelmurray9154]

Enjoyed seeing your video as in 1964 I made a similar vise as a vocational machine shop student in SW Michigan. I still have it and occasionally use it. Though now it's usually used to hold small parts when welding. The problem is with my vise is it that the screw thread is so fine it takes an annoying long time to go from open to close. I expect it was meant to be a combo mill or drill vise. Most t&d shops I was in through the years used the cam lock vises (for drilling) as seen in your vise pile. They can't be beat as a drill vise. Ps, my comment for any KZbin creator is either positive or not made at all. Keep up the good work! Mike

[@mrpete222]

Thank you for watching. A lot of these casting projects were made over the years. And yes, A find thread can be annoying in certain applications

[@lornie212]

I have been wanting to learn more about your micrometer teaching aids since you first mentioned them....... please...... and thank you.

[@mrpete222]

[@cliffordfender1159]

As always, nice job Lyle. Thanks again, Cliff

[@mrpete222]

Thanks

[@hries57]

Outstanding as usual Mr. Pete!! We are looking forward to the upcoming drill press vise tour!!

[@mrpete222]

Thanks

[@PSUQDPICHQIEIWC]

Someone complained about the handle balls? I thought using annealed bearing balls was a brilliantly elegant solution. It's comfortable and won't unscrew. I have a hundred times more old bearings than I do acorn nuts, anyway.

[@mrpete222]

Those are the people that would complain if you hung them with a new rope

[@MrUbiquitousTech]

mrpete222 Haaaaaaa, yep! ;)

[@jimmeltate2139]

That was one of my dad's favorite sayings!!

[@metalworksmachineshop]

Thanks for all your videos. I watch them all.
