Dave just to let you now your videos are very educational. Today in the midddle of a "rush job" one of my machines went down. Armed with two cups of coffee and your techniques, i managed to tear down the machine, repair it and get it together in an hour. The "rush job" then left the shop on time. Youre a good teacher!
When l seen the Harbor Freight flyer go up in flames...that was a powerful message, l couldn't agree more! When l buy a used vintage tool or machine at auction and the guy next to me says..You could have bought that same item for half price at Harbor Freight..l almost come unglued......l enjoy your channel👍 From Indiana
It's nice to see you back in action. Your new wall, bench and cubbyhole shelf came out beautifully. I bet walking into your shop after being away for so long must be a thrilling experience, all your old friends, and the smell of the wood and oil, wonderful!
Good to see you again Dave , I love the old machinery & you explaining things . It's very calming to listen to you and hear the engine and the line shafts running . Since I started watching you I've bought a 1920 Lodge & Shipley 18 X 48 in. lathe took the apron apart to clean & inspect , got it back together now and about ready to run . You were my inspiration . Thank you for sharing your knowledge .
Enjoyed thanks,takes me back to my youth with Denis,what I just did as a normal job, I realise now it was not, and how lucky I was to enjoy the work we did,great video,thanks.
Just finished watching the entire clip. Great job David. Steam engines are very dear to me. My grandfather was a rig builder for Standard Oil Company and when I was young, he would take me to the sites in Southern California where the wooden and steel derricks he built were still standing. There would be a hit or miss engine still operating the pump and old steam engines discarded or in pieces and he would explain the history to me. I went on to have a career in the oil service business and am now retired. Still remember those engines! Thanks
Hi from New Zealand. Best wishes to all in USA. So sorry to see such bad things happening. "The Old Steam Powered Machine Shop" is an island of sanity. Thanks Dave.
It's a good thing, that you are very sure you're still alive ! Not being alive is rather a bore, I am told...so..good news all over ! I may not have much wisdom to share... but I'll say this : keep breathing !!! That is the clue ! All the best Paddy
Extraordinary!!! I've seen ten other shops on steam and none as beautiful as his. Thank you so much for the hard work and dedication. You are extremely rare. Such a treat
Just thinking about you a few days ago....Super nice see you OK and good.....Lost a great friend while you were away.....His name was Roy Gray he was my age about 77 years old....The C word got him...He and l watched all of your video's together...l miss him...But very glad to see you in your shop again....See you got that little steam engine high balling again....Thanks David...!
Glad to see you back Mr. Richards! I hear ya on the China shit. I just sent back $4500 in materials that were 6 weeks late that were marked made in China. Told my supplier to find it made in USA or I’d find another supplier. He told me I was the 5th person to do that to him in the last month. One of those clients runs around $200K/mo through his business.
Nice to see you back! I was wondering what happened! I'm with you on China, that's for sure - I 100% agree with your statement on that - sometimes inexpensive isn't even close to worth it.
Good to see you back again Dave. Cattail Foundry does great work as we get quite a few of their casting for the various engines at Rough and Tumble Historical Association In Kinzers, PA. Jeff
@@davidrichards5594 It doesn't look good for shows at R&T, the board canceled the shows thru August . That means no Thresherman's Reunion this year. We'll have to see about the Time of Harvest Show in October. Jeff
Great to have you posting again! I'm so thankful that you are in good health. I've been concerned and prayed you were well. I truly enjoy eating your videos and reliving my own youth. I love the sights and sounds from an operating shop. I swear that there are times I even smell the steam and oil! Maybe even remember my grandpa's voice telling me to try using my head now and then!
Yep, good to see you in the shop up North. Glad to see the hangers being machined and looking forward to the planer work coming up. Greg in Southern Ohio.
Absolutely love your show Dave. So glad to see you back at it again. I am a RF Electronics engineer, but love to watch mechanical parts being milled and turned. Its addictive. Your stream powered shop is amazing. Keep up the good work. Cheers from South Africa.
That's great - New Video from you! Excellent - that means you are alive and well, and you are working! Health to you, Dave! Success in the work of you Master! And for us, new videos with your work!
Dave I know you think you have nothing to show us, but alot of us feel we where born one generation too late, and we could stand a tutorial on how to scratch our ass with our morning coffee! Share everything you do! We do appreiciate your efforts.
