Mr Pete. You are a treasure. God bless each of you and stay safe.

[@4GSR]

"Act like human beings when you come back tomorrow!" Where have I've heard that before.....Lol!!!

[@tommyhanlon8012]

But why do You always say the vids are too long, when they're never long enough Mr.P.

[@ProfRonconi]

That's right. I've never watched a video by Mr Pete and thought "Boy, that was too long". On the contrary, they are over too quickly. Mr Pete, come on, your audience needs more: anything less than an hour is so disappointing.

[@ianpendlebury3704]

I just love to hear an articulate man rant - keep it up in 2021 !

[@mrpete222]

Thank you very much

[@836dmar]

Please understand we may not make ALL of your projects but the things we learn watching the videos we use every day! Thank you!

[@OleGramps53]

Loved the whole thing even detention those hood ornaments and radiator caps with the temperature guages in them brought back a lot of fond memories.

[@brianbarnum48414]

Detention made me feel right at home. It only lacked a swat from the paddle I made as a gift for my 8th grade science teacher as I headed off to high school. I would never had guessed he would be the high school principal the following year and use my paddle on me!

[@andyZ3500s]

The pictures of the actors working on their projects was interesting. Always liked the Pierce Arrow ornament. Definitely art.

[@stxrynn]

@14:16 Yes sir!! When I took Machine Tool in college, I made a replacement hood ornament for my 1976 Ford LTD (the Banana Boat). It was based off a Browning machine gun, antiaircraft sight. I had a hoot making it, and it was pretty solid. Amazing that those actors did projects, our current crop seems to only do drugs.... Thanks Professor! I had a great time, even in detention.

[@jeremycable51]

Appreciate what you do teach maybe these videos will keep this craft going allot long than any of us know I’m 32 and never been around any of this stuff in my life closest I have been to a machine shop is dropping of cylinder heads or crankshafts but lately I’ve been needing more precise and smaller work that the typical machine shop won’t touch so I’ve decided to learn it myself so thank you and the other KZbin machinist for the videos

[@ericcorse]

Well I am one of the 75 people that watched the test road video and found it interesting. We recently test drove a Toyota Highlander and I didn't get out of the parking lot before I had made a nay decision on that vehicle because of the stupid engine shut off.

[@skycarl]

The hood ornaments were amazing. Might sound like a broken record but I do miss that sort of thing. That was a different world.

[@renaissanceman7145]

I enjoyed detention way too much! Those ornaments were really cool, thanks for sharing.

[@gordoneckler4537]

I have watched every one of your videos; some 2 or 3 times. Now at 85 years and health limitations that limit my travel, I fully enjoy your travel videos where you allow me to accompany you on your excursions to interesting places. I particularly enjoyed the trip to the Car Museum and now the hood ornament display. Many thanks for your teachable and enjoyable videos.

[@mrpete222]

Thank you very much but I'm glad you like my videos

[@4SafetyTraining]

Watching a lot off your old video’s and some I seen more than once, found you when I bought my Logan lathe 4 years ago. That started a new learning experience then on to mill and shaper. Thanks for all the old and new videos.

[@mrpete222]

That is awesome!

[@ellieprice3396]

And here I am again in 2021 watching another interesting video. Also watched that test track loop beside the big Interstate. Love that beautiful South Bend shaper and appreciate all the work that went into it. My family owned a 1941 Silver Streak, straight eight Pontiac with a neat Indian Head hood ornament.

[@mocarp1]

Did you see me raise my hand when you asked if anybody was still watching? Keith

Mr Pete, I have watched every one of your videos and have enjoyed all of them. Please keep them coming.

[@mrpete222]

Thank you, I will

[@mrc1539]

In high school I spent so much time in detention I thought it was normal . The biggest joke was when the boys dean realized that there wasn’t enough time left in the school year for me to serve it all. They sent me out to the bus garage and let me help change an engine in one of the bus’s for the rest of my time . A win for both of us ! 😉 ! Wouldn’t see that happen nowadays !

Awesome! Thank you!

[@jayramsey7370]

I got one really enjoy your videos, sir. And I was one of the 75 that watched the test road video, I found it interesting. My true hobby is model railroading, and your photos of the actors working in their shops reminded me of Rod Stewart, the musician. He has an entire floor of his home filled with one of the loveliest model railroads ever made... he used to pack trains and buildings and such to work on when he toured !!! Guess they are real people too, huh??? Thanks for the videos, sir; not all of them apply to me but I watch them because I enjoy listening to you.... keep ‘em coming !!!!

[@W4BIN]

I watch EVERY video (of yours) and all of them from end to end, the very end. I'm not a machinist, I am a retired broadcast engineer that did much industrial repairs in the building. (always trying to be precise) and as you might expect addicted to all kinds of tools. Keep up the fine work Mr. Stewart. Ron W4BIN in PC Florida, born in Gary, IN and for my first 18. years.

I was that kid who skipped study hall, lunch, pe, before school, Shop classes, metal, wood, electricity, and drafting were the classes I really enjoyed and most benefited from in life. Thanks to all who made it possible.

[@thatoneguy9660]

My Dad & I rebuilt a Ford tractor engine just like the one your buddy is rebuilding. That was like 40 years ago. We had to separate the block from the frontend & the transmission to take the block to have new sleeves installed & bored. I remembered being amazed that it was a 3 cly. Engine I had never seen one before. The tractor belonged to a lake club my Dad belonged to & as far as I know they are still cutting grass & dragging their ball diamond with it. Thanks for bringing back good memories of my Dad God rest his soul.

[@tdck6186]

I love all your videos. I love the dry humour. I haven't watched all your past videos yet. I only found your channel a few months ago. I enjoyed the mold making and casting the wheel. That's something I'd like to try sometimes. And again, you make great videos to pass your skills to other people. Thanks

[@mrpete222]

Welcome aboard!

[@jenniferwhitewolf3784]

only 75 watched the pavement test?? Shame on those who did not! That was a neat history item. I was one of the 75... and enjoyed it.

[@richardlafleur3974]

So was I, great video.

I watched it twice.

Yes, same here. I just drove past it on New Year’s Day. during an snow and ice storm. Foolishness I know.

[@gordbaker896]

I expect many more than that watched.

[@ptonpc]

KZbin has a habit of not notifying subscribers when a new video is out. Even though I am subscribed and have the bell icon clicked, I get no notifications about his new videos. I still have to actively search for them. There is another channel I subscribe to that I had thought stopped posting years ago. It turns out he has been posting at least once a month and KZbin never once sent me a notification.

[@robertcorrie6737]

I watch your work very closely. I am about your age and can relate to your work and rants. Thanks for your content .

[@davidcallista2580]

I always enjoy your videos, and this one showing the pictures of actors from my childhood, brought back some fond memories. Thumbs up from a former "Roy Rogers Riders Club" member.

[@TheSuburban15]

I don't know if it's the largest, but there is a collection of hood ornaments at the car and bus museum in Hershey, PA

[@Blackcountrysteam]

Your mention of Roy Rogers took me back mant years to when I worked in a steel works we had a 'bar inspector' on our shift a Canadian who during our breaks would tell us about his adventures with Roy Rogers and we would take the pee out of him, one night he turned up dressed as a cowboy all in black two 45's strapped on him he kicked open the door shot two rounds into the tea caddy for good luck boy were we amazed the following night he dragged in an old projector and ran some film of him. Roy,Dale and even Trigger we didn't take the pee any more !

[@JunkMikesWorld]

I like the mascots. They have many that I have never seen. I find it interesting how at one time men had projects to fill there free time. Today most people don't do a damn thing! When I was a young boy I enjoyed looking at popular mechanics, I built projects on my own and fixed and built things with my father. As an adult I love working in my shop. I restore tools, cars, and build furniture. I have very few friends who pursue similar past times. I guess they're too busy watching sports on TV and playing video games. By the way when I was in high school I spent a bunch of extra time in the wood shop. We did not have a machine shop. However my father was a machinist and taught me a few things. And of course I became a shop teacher.

[@mrpete222]

Thank you for commenting I agree with everything you said. I love hearing from other shop teachers

Hey Pete making you proud here in Delaware,, I'm buying up all the good atlas lathes I can find at a good price as it is climbing,,, have 6 now,,,3-618s,,,,2- 12 x 36s and a 109,,,one 618 has never been used,,, gotten all kinds of tools and tooling,,, have milling attachments and steady and follower rests for both the 6 and 12 inch.. I can slide a caliper and micrometer down all the lathes and measures the same and dail indicator needle dosent move on the spindles,,, hard to find that in other lathes,,,atlas was surely for the hobbyist and most taken care of,, as for the zmak gears I only have 2 gears out of 6 lathes with any wear,,both my 12s have quick change gear boxes and was happy to find the gears in fact at all steel in them. You have taught me well.

[@misseryguts]

Mr Pete, I am a retired engineer and find all your videos fascinating and entertaining, they are never “too long” and I hope you continue for many years to come. I come from England and only found your channel a few years ago when I bought an iPad and started watching KZbin. I have a very small workshop which I use to build small projects and to build radio controlled models. I am also a Radio Ham which has been helpful recently during the lock downs. I enjoy your “rants” very much as like you I have an old fashioned idea about job satisfaction and a pride in my work. I don’t have any time for the modern throw away society and take great pleasure in fixing things for my friends and neighbours. I am lucky to be living in the West Country now, specifically a town called Paignton, near Torquay in Devon, but I grew up near London, did an apprenticeship and have found it impossible to give up my interests in “making things”. Sadly my Health is failing now and I have lost the sight in my left eye, become deaf and now use a wheelchair a lot but that does not stop me from doing things and more importantly watching your channel. Please keep it up for the many, many fans you have out there. My apologies for the length of this post, kindest regards, Ken Jeffrey

[@mrpete222]

Thank you very much for watching. Sorry to hear about your disabilities. But you sound like a very courageous man.

My Dads model A had a “mono meter” that showed coolant temp, I also recall a dove in semi-spread wing . Both popular ....... thanks Mr Pete, though I’m only 70 I recall Dad muttering about “ planting too close to the road” and “ who’s gonna buy all these cars “ “cheap Japanese junk” etc. Great video, I’ll ck out Gillmore next time I go home to Lenawee Co Mi.

When I was in HS, my electricity shop teacher gave students a choice for detention. either serve the time, or take three wacks in the hind end with a 2 x 4 paddle. That was 1966 when parents wouldn't sue the heck out of schools/teachers when their precious child was disciplined. My how things have changed...I think for the worse. I sure wish I had more detentions like yours.

[@BeachsideHank]

Banning corporal punishment and "manhandling" in schools was simply the right thing to do- way too many teachers abused children under color of "authority" and caused far more trauma than victimless crimes like talking in line or horsing around- things that kids are wont to do.

[@richardlincoln8438]

@@BeachsideHank i can appreciate Your point of view but the abandoned standards of ethical behavior seems to have been on display this past year. It seems that people have been led to feel instead of think. There are no consequences for actions now. Today's youth, for the most part, have no imagination beyond what is gifted to them by electronic media. Sorry for the rant. Should young people be beat indiscriminately ? Absolutely not. Should they be able to do whatever they "feel" is right ? Absolutely not.. Thanks for sharing Your opinion.

[@123232ism]

You are 100% correct sir. Far too many took unfair advantage of punishment. But, in my case, the student did have the choice.

If I'm a bad boy, spank me. I hate it when I'm forced to watch things I enjoy. I watch all your videos despite the fact I was a welder. I did run P&J turret lathe about 6 months once and hated it. My training was, here's the start button and here's the stop, and that was about it. Didn't much care for those hot chips either. I then spent the next 33 years welding with uncountable burn scars as proof of my welding career. Ponder that one. I think this video was one of the best. I was thoroughly edutainned.

[@Chevyv8man1]

Hey Mr Pete, I love some of the old hood ornaments. I'm 66 and I believe that they gave the old cars character and some really had a lot of detail including hair. Some were very beautiful and showed so much detail. Now-a-days I can't even tell the difference between domestic and imports at a distance and up close with some. I use to be able to tell you the make, model, and year from a block away - where now they all look the same - Sometimes progress sucks, where people don't care about details and everything is made of plastic - later

I enjoy your videos. You are the shop teacher I needed, but we had no shop teaching of anything in our middle eastern high schools, and I went to a prestigious private school. All theory and no touchy touch anything until you got to university. I did manage to learn machining back in 2000 at the age of 40, using cheap Chinese Mill and lathe. Which I quickly converted to CNC, due to lack of skill as a machinist. But, I got my hands on these machines and did my time, to learn what I wanted to learn most my life, but couldn't for one reason or another. I don't make anything anymore, because its all "been there, done that" by now. However, I watch only technical videos. Mostly electronics related, but you, AvE, TOT, and a few more, are in my sub list. Your rants comfort me. It's nice to hear sane man talk for a change. I find most people do stupid things and don't thing of the results or the endgame. Humanity is getting dumber as I get older! I thought it was supposed to be the other way around!!

Danny Thomas owned and used a Shopsmith as well. I think that he may have appeared in their advertising at one time. BTW, I haven't seen a Shopsmith in quite some time now. Some of your viewers may not fully understand what it was. Some of the French-made hood ornaments (glass) were created by Lalique. My great aunt's 1953 Pontiac had an amber-colored glass (and internally illuminated) representation of Chief Pontiac on the hood ornament. I came that way from the factory. Fine work, as usual (and I enjoyed the AAHSHO Test Road video).

[@davida1hiwaaynet]

Mr. Pete; I absolutely love watching your videos. I didn't get a notification for your AASHO Test Road video. I'm planning to watch it after this one ends. It's hard to think about you feeling as if nobody watches your videos. I completely understand the feeling, though. The way I keep from feeling bad when some of my videos get few views, is to think about how my life goes and why sometimes I go through spells where I don't watch many videos. For instance, I went to Korea to a job site for 3.5 months and was under pressure to work 12 hour days and deal with major stress. All I wanted to do was rest when I got back to the hotel. I didn't watch videos. During that time, I'm sure many videos were published that I missed. Your This and That videos NEVER get too long! Please keep them coming. Hope you get some thought-provoking questions on your new proposed video series, as well! LOL at the detention! I'm pleased to be in this detention, unfortunately! And by the way, my car has a stand-up hood ornament, being from 1984. It's just to commemorate the 84 Summer Olympics, and nothing like the mascots in the museum! My friends always say if my car was an Olympic athlete, it would be disqualified for "use of performance enhancing substances." They say that since I installed a turbocharged engine in it in place of an anemic 100 HP boat anchor; more than quadrupling the horsepower!

Interesting the actors taking an interest in mechanical crafts. I suppose some of them might have worked at things like that before they were famous. The Actor Michael Gambon, who played Dumbledore in the Harry Potter movies, served his time as a toolmaker with the Vickers company in England. He still has a fantastic workshop and a huge classic firearm collection.
