''Who cares?'' I care...... I find this this video extremely interesting. Not only do I think the patterns and sales matrial is very fascinating. But it also carries a personal story of a superb working life. A life spend in dedication to teaching others. Other people that have surely, in some cases, used Mr Pete's teachings to make a living for themselves and their families. You Sir have actually made a significant contribution making the world better place, with less lawers, bankers and politicians out to trick you at every turn. That alone demands respect. Well done Mr Peterson. You have my respect for sure.

Boy o boy, talk about resurging memories. When I was a senior our class was severely divided into the guys that were there to learn and the f-offs. The f-offs won, the disruptions were so bad they shut our class down and sent everyone home the last couple months of the senior year, Endless bolt throwing fights,sabotage,ignorant deliberate interruptions. On and on, I still have bad dreams about it 40 years later. It is terrible when something you passionately believe in becomes a burdensome stone, all because of a handful of bad apples that spoil the entire barrel. I never lost the love for learning about mechanical things. As I said beforehand in previous comments, Tubalcain has been the longest running KZbin channel for Me. Thank you Mr. Pete. I think you found the group of kids you always wanted to teach.

In my high school in the 90's. Anybody could take industrial arts 1 and 2. After that you needed teacher permission to continue on with industrial arts 3 and 4. I don't have many regrets but I didn't take industrial arts 4 because I couldn't fit it into my schedule. That class would have maybe only been 5 people all making projects like this. 3 years later they built a new high school and the industrial arts program didn't get to move to the new building. I protested and was told there wasn't enough interest. If I only knew then what I know now about the great need for skilled employees around the country. Hundreds of thousands of jobs go unfilled every year because of a lack of qualified employee's.

+Wayne Crews - Yeah, I don't get it. I understand he may have had a few bad experiences but why he carries on about so much about them is beyond me. He had a long and great career, we all love the work he does and are possibly the ideal shop class he never actually had in person. I took everything I could in junior high and high school I could related to industrial arts. As an engineer now, those classes were invaluable. I can't stand it when Mr Pete talks about throwing out or destroying everything … something I never do. I go out of my way to give things away if I can't use them.

I was an auto shop teacher for many years and I can relate to your (apparent) bitter/sweet memories of teaching. The small 5-10% of troubled kids often consumed 90% of my energy. Fortunately, the good kids made it all worthwhile. I retired early because the percentage of troubled kids was getting higher every decade, by the time I'd had enough they were about 30-40% so I quit it.

My first year as an IA teacher we purchased a new McEnglevan forge. 37 years later that forge let out its last puff of heat, so we start year #38 with a brand new McEnglevan/MIFCO forge. Hopefully the foundry furnace will keep on chooching for a few more years. Thanks again.

You should be proud of what you did and the scores of the kids you taught. Not all I'm sure went on to be machinists but I bet many did. I find it surprising that you are so down on your work, your patterns, and castings. You made a difference in people's lives and continue to do so. You are leaving a legacy. We should hand down that knowledge to the next generation or those that care to learn.

Mr. Pete, I know you’ve heard it before and probably concur but it is a crying shame Industrial Arts are no longer offered in any high school. Many machinists got the bug for working metal in those classes and went on to Peoria or Decatur or Electric Wheel in Quincy to not only do a lifetime of working at a job they loved but make Cat and other manufacturers the great companies they became. Today, in this resurgent economy, where manufacturing is once again gaining ground, businesses are finding qualified operators and machinists extremely difficult to come by. I saw a Human Resource Director give an interview and he stated how difficult it was to find people who could pass a drug test and then show up for the second day of work! It’s really a shame. We all know a college education is good but college isn’t for everybody. There are those who have mechanical talent but no longer have the outlet at a young age to develop it. I know teachers face a lot of frustration, (my daughter is a high school art teacher, and a good one) but the dedication you and others like you are to be commended for sharing your knowledge to so many young lives. Dale in Decatur.

We learn by doing, Mr Pete! Not too many of us hobbyists have the opportunity to learn about metal casting and pattern making ... unless we have a reason to do so. My reasons are all associated with a railway restoration group that I belong to. I'm the "master caster". While I don't have the facilities to melt the metal, I do make the patterns, the sand cores, and then make sure that the patterns and sand cores will work before taking them to a commercial foundry. So many thanx for showing us what you did for all of those students many, many years ago. You never know what some of those students ended up doing when the graduated from school. Some of them may even have had a hand in designing and making the parts for the cars we drive or the machinery that runs our factories.

I went to a small rural high school in Georgia and we didn't have any kind of shop classes except for agriculture. I was always the kid that took his toys apart and developed into a gear head. I wish I could had a teacher like you because you have so much knowledge to share. I made my living with my hands and I am self taught in most everything I know. I am a far to middling machinist. I am only a few years younger than you and retired but I still have the desire to learn. If you think about it you now have a class of 186 K students who want to learn from your experience.

Thank You, Mr. Pete for sharing the story of your products. What struck me was the nuance of all the operations the student would learn from each and the successive complexity and opportune the schools that bought them, to follow a well balanced curriculum in BIA. Personally I was also glad you shared one of the underlying disdains of your endeavors, that is the drafting. I had wondered for years now and makes sense as you like to _do the work_ and get so much from teaching and helping others as you have been all these years on YT.

I was in the same boat. We didn't have a machine shop but we did have wood shop and a technology class that was brand new to have in the mid 80s. That was the closest thing I got to a lathe which had a hopper, a robot arm and a tiny 4-6" cnc lathe that we could program the entire process to make a small factory turning out parts. I was in wood shop I - IV, then took IV again. final semester of my senior year they wouldn't let me take wood shop any more. So I had to go to the community college and take it there, which luckily was in my high school shop taught by my high school teacher. Now I have my own shop, built up mostly because of @MrPete222 It's like I have gone back to high school and am taking the machine shop classes I always wish we had.

Lyle, I made a couple of tools in metalwork, at high school, which I still have and use. My father made a scriber at school, using blacksmithing techniques, which I now have and use. When I was in trade school, for my apprenticeship, when we had finished the projects for the course (fitting & machining) our tech teacher would let us bring in our own projects, as he said that they were all part of our trade. I faced off a car head and lightened a fly wheel, using both the lathe and a verticle mill and rotary table. We even bored out an engine block, for the teacher. Thank you for this informative and nostalgic video. We never stop learning.

Thank you very much for sharing the history of Peterson Products with us. You have said, "Who cares?" Those of us that are watching this video (and those who will watch in the years to come), along with the thousands of students who you have helped teach the industrial art of metal working (both directly and indirectly through the sales of your products)! It seems like you think nobody cares about this stuff any more, but I beg to differ. It seems like most school districts are getting rid of their industrial arts and I think that's terrible. You are _THE_ "KZbin Shop Teacher" and we all appreciate it. Hopefully your KZbin channel will always be here to help continue to teach students (both young and old). As for starting a company like this now, I think your only chance would be to retain the 3-D files and print the patterns yourself, then sell them instead of having to make plaster ones. Trying to sell the 3-D files would be really difficult because someone would eventually post them on the Internet. Sites like Thingiverse are great for distributing open source items so people can print them out at home, but I don't believe (at this time) they have the ability to allow users to sell their 3-D files. Heck, there are even companies that scrape open source sites like Thingiverse then sell the 3-D printed items at a profit, which goes against what the author has intended. It's a big mess.

Now we don't have shop even at the High School level anymore. I'm sure you touched a lot of young lives in a positive way through your projects. Today there would not be much of a school market for your projects, but I would bet they would sell pretty good to hobby machinists looking for something useful to make.

Machine shop was my most favourite class in high school, it was 20 years ago but doesn't seem like it. I had run into my shop teacher about a month ago and he said the students he had just before retirement had been scared to use half of the equipment which I found pathetic. He also informed me that there is no more machine shop in that school. @13:49 you had said that you didn't want any of the memory's. Why if you don't mind me asking?

I found this video extremely interesting - as a middle and high school student in Spfld. Illinois in the early to late 70's we had all kinds of shop classes - even in Grant middle school here in spfld. Illinoi within our industrial arts classes we had what were called exploratory classes. Classes offered were in home construction where we built a scaled down home module learning all the fundamentals of home construction from foundation to roof. We also had small engine repair class, a rather good manufacturing class, drafting, electronics where we learned fundamentals and built solder kits of radios etc. and there was even a radio and television class where we learned radio and TV operation and even built a mock radio broadcast booth in the corner of our classroom, I still have a newspaper article showing a pic of us building the broadcast booth -- In Spfld. high school we had wood shop with lathes etc. and metal shop - the metal shop did do aluminum casting and some machining. There's also Vocational school with many classes like auto mechanics, auto body and many others. I still live near these schools but in both the middle and high school all those classes are gone now, I watched them take the shops air vent system out years ago and replace the shops with a new science wing thats proven to be of dubious value and now theyre wanting to tear the entire school down after spending milliions in upgrades including air conditioning which we did not have in the 70's - Illinois politics, go figure.

Hi. Mr Pete. It’s kind of sad that today’s kids don’t have a good shop class like we did in Burlington Wi. When I was in high school. We had a great shop. It’s also sad that you seem to have unhappy thoughts and memories of those times and Peterson products. I should think you would be very proud of that endeavor. You are a very unique person and i for one am better off for coming into contact with you.

If your make scans of the blueprints available, and especially if you give permission for this, I’m sure folks’ll be glad to turn them into 3D-printable patterns so the work can live on. (I’ll make up a file or two myself, though my drafting skills are rudimentary enough I doubt anyone would-or should-use what I produce.) If you don’t want to get back into the business, release the designs under one of the Creative Commons licenses. (Though even with piracy, a tiny digital storefront might make a nice small additionally income stream. Particularly if the 3D-printable computer models are made by unpaid volunteers.) Shop class of the sort you taught may be a thing of the past, but folks like Mike Rowe are convincing me they’ll be back in the near future; and there are people like me who never had shop classes and want to pick this up as a hobby or sideline.

Thank you Lyle for posting this. I found your comments about the strength of aluminium for the press and clamps interesting. It has sparked an interest in me to try creating my own patterns and playing around with some designs to see if I can work out some of the short comings of using aluminium in such applications. I understand Fusion 360 also allows one to do modelling for stress, but I don't think my 360 skills are up to that....yet. I taught for several years at the college level and can appreciate your frustration with the lack of apparent maturity amongst students. Every year I fel the students were getting 'younger' and 'younger' even though the chronological ages were the same as previous years. Mark

Mr Peterson, it was quite interesting to finally hear about Peterson Products. It would be fun to see you make each of them again plus just to see the order of operations is entertaining and informative, even though some would be a duplicate of operations you might have done in other videos. You should expand on your drill bit and micrometer teaching aids as well as talk about how you made them and what they were made of. Thank you for all you do here on KZbin for us. Sure, not everybody cares about what you have to say which is true of anybody that posts a video, article or opinion. But there are a number of people who do care and I will be checking back to see the view count. And if nothing else, you have a video journal that your great grandchildren can go back and watch some day after they ask their Mom "What was Great Grandpa Lyle like?" Can you imagine 50 years from now (or perhaps even now?) the surprise that junior high and high school students will have to learn that we actually did these "dangerous" things in school? I had an interesting conversation with a customer recently while at their home to make some repairs. We were discussing her son who recently graduated from college with a computer related degree. She mentioned that he took a blacksmithing class as an elective to fullfill his curriculum requirements in college She mentioned how dangerous that was. I said, because you are afraid he will like it so much that he will decide to open a shop and try to make a living at that instead? She said "No, what if he got burned from the hot flame?". I didnt say it, but was thinking that he wouldnt do that many more times after the first burn. Thinking of my own experiences of course. Not sure why you covered your face in the literature and photos as it is interesting to see how we change with age. Not faulting you for it as we all have our reasons for things we do. But rather to let you know, some of us would have been interested in seeing the younger face of the guy that brings so much pleasure to our lives now. I was surprised you didn't at least draw a stick figure head on one of the post it notes.

Wow Mr Pete, you jogged some "hidden memories" of the aluminium foundry we had at Thomas Jefferson Junior High School, Cleve OH, circa early 70's. I recall seeing the students in 9th grade [we are talking 15 year olds!] making some of the castings FROM DRAWINGS like in your your catalog. I wanted to take the "metal shop" course but it was eliminated. I had electrics & plastics in 8th grade in the same shop.

Memory lane here, I’m 37 and in high school we used to cast aluminum and pour are own molds. I think we had the belt /disc sander as a project.( or similar) The belt sander used bushings and not bearings. Ate up lots of power from the motor, as I used a old dryer motor maybe 1/3 hp it was to small. I believe a drill press and band saw were also projects. I’d like to actually build some of those C clamps. And my ramble is over!!

Mr. Pete. 2 things. Your ethos must have spawned so many engineers. You must be proud. You have found the flaw in your "throw away" policy ? I worked in manufacturing all my life (retired now) & it all started with my Engineering teacher encouraging me. I built a screw cutting lathe using the leadscrew and cross slide that had been taken off the "shop" lathe to convert it to metric. He made all the patterns and like you gave his heart and soul to encourage us kids. God bless him and all like him. Where is the sense in shutting down all those craft classes ? We did the same here in the UK.
