Reading Mean Comments 

This is YOUR RU-vid channel, you do whatever you want whenever you want, because it's YOURS! and F*** everybody else. It amazes me some of these comments. Some people are crazy. If you don't like the content DONT watch it. It's not YOURS. You don't have any say on how or what is done with it. Lift arc studios I respect what you did with the machines that was awesome and one of the reasons I subscribed the other reasons are your personality and the work you do is similar to what I do im a structural steel welder and fabricator as well as a "machinist" and i do side fabrication jobs machining ect... And I've been on the fence about getting a cnc plasma cutter for the shop. Another reason im intrigued by your channel. You guys are awesome, funny and talented I've already learned some things I didn't know before watching your channel and I'm thankful for that. Keep up the good work. Love the way you guys handled the negative comments as well. Hilarious. P.S. get RU-vid premium!! Or don't watch RU-vid if you don't like the adds. Pretty simple people. Can't wait to watch all of your videos! Love finding new channels to watch.

Your 4.5 hour shop video popped up on my FYP and I’ve been hooked ever since, keep the great videos coming guys.

The 4 hour video is why I'm here...looking forward to binge watching 😀

There're out there, guys. Don't waste your time or emotion on the twerps. Love your work and your videos! Go right on!

As a welder, thank you for showing who we are and what we do. No BS. No sugar coating. No "reality TV" show. Keep up the great work representing this amazing family we are part of.

The great mysterious algorithm strikes again, you guys are really underrated so I hope your channel keeps blowing up!

That 4 hour shop renovation video is really getting the hits... that format is really popular right now. It's a maker's dream to do what you did.

The 4 hour video came up in my recommended feed, it was the evening I got fired from my job so I had the time to dive in to something new, and I drive thru Roanoke a few times a year going up 81. I am a diesel mechanic and will keep you in mind if I need any pieces cut out, thanks again, keep up the good work fellas

I watched most of the 4 hrs, loved it, then went and looK for more vids of yours to watch I don't mind the music, its when the Music is lowder then the talking that I don't like Keep up the great vids!!!

Pay no attention to those unhappy people. I came across the 4 hour video you posted of rennovating the old machine shop into the Lift Arc Studio. I was instantly hooked - watched the whole thing in one marathon binge session! I think the trolls are, in their hearts, jealous people. Those who can, do. Those who can't leave nasty RU-vid comments!

I saw your new plant takeover video of the now retired Old School Machine Shop and I loved every single but of it. I wish you where a 15 minute drive from my house, I would Love to work for you also!!! I love that you know what you are doing, THANKS FOR BEING MOST APPRORIATE!!!! I love all the equipment you sold and I wish I knew about and I had the money, I could of moved it all to my house and had a nice shop at my pad!!! -Alexander The Great

I have enjoyed your videos on the renovation, and THANK YOU for saving the machines. I am looking forward to the builds.

59 year old UK grandma. Love love love your show. My son introduced me and hubby and we all spreading the word. Easy to watch love the music. So much talent and cool peeps

Found this channel 3 days ago and have already binged most of the videos, I’ve got a feeling this is gonna be one of those channels I come back to in a week and they have 500,000 subscribers just out of nowhere. I hope it happens because these are great videos and amazing editing!

I watched the 4 hour video (took a couple days, didn't have time for all at once), but enjoyed and appreciated the time that went into not only the editing, but also the opportunity to see it all together. Deep dive, nailed it! You've got a good approach to your work and the channel, so keep going. I started working on job sites pushing a broom and picking up scrap. I took every opportunity to talk with the old guys and learn everything I could. By the time I turned 22, I had my own small company that grew into employing 30 full time carpenters and framing up to 5 projects simultaneously. I am thankful for all the knowledge those old timers gave me as it set me on my way. You seem to have the same approach and appreciate how you throw recognition to the fact that everyone gets to where they are based on the foundation of those who went before us. Keep going, I love seeing success stories!

Saw the 4 hour video of the machine shop & noticed who you were. Watched it then subscribed & Watched all your videos. Love the respect you gave the old tooling & what you did with the building. It was great watching you & your dad on Black Dog. Was sorry to hear that it was no longer being made. I am a welder, woodworker, assembler & have made & refurbished many MANY things. You take great pride in your work which is very hard to see in a lot of people these days. Keep up the great work Tay. Your's truly Jeff.

Only 4.5 hour video I've ever watched. Being a machinist, growing up in Akron Ohio just blocks from Goodyears rubber factories and having a love for all things early industrial, kept me glued to that upload from start to finish. You've done an amazing job giving new life to a century old building. I enjoy your work and will continue watching.

"I did it, you didn't" is something that the internet could definitely use a refresher course in sometimes

I subscribed after the filling a Sunday afternoon with your shop restoration video. You've done an outstanding job. I envy your position. You're doing something you love and get the satisfaction of making "something". I wish you well.

Your Four hour compilation video of the shop renovations popped up in my feed as I was searching for Garage makeovers. I was blown away by the content. I dream of working in a shop like that. The building has so much character and I love that you were able to give many of those machines new homes. Great job and I look forward to more of your videos.

Hello Tay and team, Huge Black Dog fan. Just found your channel it’s such a blast! Really really appreciate what you guys are doing and keep it up 👍🏻.

Just saw your “Mean comments videos, commentary”, You handled them VERY WELL, Kinder than they obviously began with!! I appreciate Your hard work in putting stuff together, everything from planning to execution in building, I Enjoy the craft of how things are made!!! KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK

Gents, I very rarely comment on a video but I have to put in my 2 cents. I have been following you since the start and find your content entertaining, informative, and clear. Keep doing what you do and I will continue to follow you. F*** the naysayers. Cheers, Jeff

I’m a simple man in a simple land & your content seems to be directly aimed at me and the rest of the world who are interested, keep up the good work & carry on :)

Congrats on 12k. It's awesome being on the ride.

Tay thanks for the great content which is Entertaining and many times informative. I am a corporate aviation mechanic and hobby maker/welder/machinist/auto mechanic/jack of all trades. I appreciate your approach to many things you have filmed and can tell we are on a similar wavelength. I hope to see more of your adventures and antics continue to grow your channel. Godspeed from across the USA in California.

I also just love ur voices, I watched the entire 4 hour video straight while cleaning my room not looking at the screen the whole time cause I love how intelligent and calming you sound

Farmers and heavy equipment operators have a special and expediency. This is the essence of your effort. At every step as an experienced builder I noted don't do that or I wouldn't do that. Good work! I dub you the Urban Diesel Creek.

Great job guys living purposeful lives! Loved your comment that you're trying to cater to the younger adult to aid in bringing more awareness of trades in general and fabricators in particular. Love your attitudes, your creativity and your spunk. Keep the pedal to the metal (pun intended).

You guys done a great job with the building, and preserving the tools you use it’s always a good memory of the building pass . Amazing table. We miss you guys. Happy Holidays.

Welding Hood off to your quality video's, content and sharing it with the world. As I one man show making all that happen is a challenge for me, I'm only about 5-7 years behind on project videos LoL

Well, I'm 40 and got hooked on your channel watching the 4 hour shop build episode. Going back and watching more. Keep up the good work and ignore the hatters. Can't please everyone, but it looks like what you're doing is working enough to grow the channel.

Just started watching about a week ago. I live on RU-vid and have never heard of your site. I also had never heard of the previous show you were on for years with your family members. I think that EVERYTHING I have seen you do, shows how much pride you take in each project. Love the shop. Will continue watching. I just have one request...Please finish painting the glaze on the other window since it is on just about every video you release. Keep up the good work.

I took two days to watch your 4 1/2 hr video, and I LOVED IT. I at 56 would love to someday have an opportunity like you have. Screw the negativity by doing what you do best. You guys are awesome!

Thank you for keeping it real guys! Love the down to earth attitude, the filming, editing and presenting. Got sucked in by the 4h+ video and discovered a lovely channel behind it. So here's a comment for the YT algorithm too.

I am just so pleased to see a younger generation creating and putting their shoulders to the better works.

i love this video, well done Tay and team. What you say is all try, recyle, reuse, repurpose as much as you can. I have definitely loved what you have done, and like many as per comments below-keep all coming. (I, like you, were amazed in how they lifted the old machines using chain and a tube bar. Their talent is amazing, and so is yours)

I found your 4 hour renovation video last weekend while doing a very tedious and repetitive machining job. I threw it up on the overhead TV and it was like working alongside someone else with a project. VERY PBS vibe like this old house.

I watched the whole 4 hour video. It was great, and its a pleasure to what the machine shop is looking now. 😃 I would be happy if I had a quarter of the machine shop for my own to do things in.

Yes, the content of what you build is fun, different and I love to watch how you tackle individual problems. The real reason I watch and many others watch is the personalities. All the guys that you work with are funny, good natured and very articulate. To those who are worried about their perceived quality of the build and or public perception of what you do I give a big oh boo hoo for you to them. I predicted your subscribers would go up quickly and I now predict that it is going to be monumental. keep doing what you're doing the way you are doing it, I love it and I am confident that everyone else does too. To those one or two idiots who think they're better at doing what you do then you are hang on to there comments and keep doing these videos where you talk about them and make fun of them because I like to watch those also.

Im 68 years old your stuff is great for every reason.... I took welding for three years in high school I don't like machine shop either don't listen to those losersKEEP up the good... great work they are just nothings or less...

As a 63 year old fart I have to say I love the Music! Your videos are entertaining, educational and Fun! That's why you are growing! Keep it up! People who have never renovated a building have no Idea how much work it is!

I like your show watched your Dads show for years you guys deserve the success, don't worry about the neg comments, treat them with the contempt it deserves!

I 've just watched the 4+ hour video as an introduction to your channel and I've really enjoyed it. I'm now subscribed and working my way through your back catalogue. I hope youtube pays you enough to make all your projects come to fruition. Great content.

I have one earlobe that’s attached and one unattached, now I’m confused. My wife and I enjoy the videos, keep it up. 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽

You guys do good and varied content. My interests of welding and fabricating are well served. I would not have so kind of an 'appreciation' for the troller type comments for the effort you put into your work and videos. One magic element of YT content creators is verbal presentation and visual presence. Watching your team present content in an entertaining and articulate way, with a 'main guy' (and co-guys) who can seamlessly verbalize and string together ideas and describe their work is truely secret sauce. Keep up the good work!

Well as of this morning, 14.4k! Great shop, great channel and fun videos. You guys keep doing what you are doing. Congrats!

Found your channel and invested the 4+ hours on the Reno. Great job. I miss salvage dogs, so this channel is a treat. Say hi to your dad and the gang at Black Dog

First off only 8K from here on. I have a dream of 15 Taylor Ave in Bethel CT. That’s how I ended up here. I dig it. Keep up the good work.

I enjoy watching all the videos that you guys have into . What you are doing with the building it’s awesome , great w.

Just today finished watching the 4hr vid of the shop morph....glad you showed up on my YT feeds love this type of stuff, new sub, super excited for new content and your older stuff I haven't watched yet.....best of luck to all in the new shop !

I love the way you did the outro on this video. Keep using that as your sign off signature it is good. And if you give a little bit of music before you end the video it gives people one final time to shoot over and hit the thumbs up button. When people end the video too fast you don't get a chance to hit the thumbs up button before it's into a commercial.

Recently found your channel and did the deep dive. Love the channel and the builds. Keep it up.

The workshop conversion was really interesting; brought me on board. As for haters, they are there..

Hey guys. Keep up the great work!

I just found you guys this weekend and have watched a lot of the video's, but still have a lot to go. I was up til 2am watching the 4+ hour video. Man I am envious, I am 62 and would love to have a shop half as nice. Probably would just stare at the machines in awe, scared to fire them up, but amazed at their history. You did and do an awesome job, I plan to put your video's on a daily watch. Keep up the good work, and I love the music, crank it up!!!

The first video of yours YT recommended to me was your 4hr machine shop resto video, and as much as i wanted to watch it i put it off for a couple of weeks because it was such a long video. but it stayed in the top 10 recommendations the whole time. so i finally bit the bullet and watched it, start to finish in one sitting, after that i started watching your other videos and after the 3rd video i had subscribed and have spent the last week bingeing on nothing but your videos. I am disabled and dont work so i have gone through almost all your videos now, at least 3/4 of them. i am really excited about what is yet to come. keep up the good work, you guys are exactly the type of team i am on YT to watch.

I was like a lot of the new viewers and kept seeing the preview for the 4hr shop build then finally watched it one night at work and now i have been skimming through all your other vids and enjoying the channel and will be looking into the getting the same plasma table when my shop gets to that point . keep up the good work !

I'm just confused on the toilet with two doors with huge windows.........."what ya doing? Your pooping aren't ya! Yep, your pooping! "

That was a fun one! Congratulations 👏👏👏👏! Growing fast!!!

Hi Tay, Great channel I watched the 4hr 22min video all the same night! Now that's a big binge!!! Prior to that on another channel I thought 2.5 hours was long! I'm definitely a subscriber. God bless and take care from California.

Here from the 4 hour video. Didn't skip a second! Keep the videos coming!

LOL Love the comments on the comments. BTW I am here as a result of the 4 hour video extravaganza. And I have been watching in the shadows. The chandelier is awesome BTW. Glad you guys liked my comment on the renovation. If I ever find my way to Roanoke we might be able to have that chat! Keep up the good work guys, you are what's right with the world. BTW I am glad the T&G is getting some love. And yes we have a common respect for both machinery and craftsmanship.

just wait 1 year will be over 100 K !! Young people are going in to the trades its too hard !! They want instant money and fun !! Mike Rowe big push !! I'm a mechanic and welder and fab guy I have 1980's i love your channel !! Thank you

Holy crap, ten minutes in and I wish I could upvote this twice. Hats off to you all. The algorithm showed me the epic, and somehow I sat straight through it never realising how long it was. Great to see you've upped your subscriber count from c12k to 15.4k already, about 25% up in just four days hah. Looking forward to more, see you in the next one.

I'm here because if the 4 hour video. I watched it in chunks over a few weekends. Great transformation!

Tay, Just remember one thing, you do what makes you happy and f...k all of those other idiots. I love your concepts and ideas, I am jealous as hell of what you are doing. Long time Black Dog and now Lift Arc fan.

I truly enjoy your videos! Considering much of what you do has been self taught, you do a fantastic job! You are all likable and you are having fun! Whats to bitch about? I am 57 and i watched the 4 hour video last Sunday non stop. I have a hard time sticking with some of these 10 minute videos out there. Congrats on the success and keep evolving!

Come on Tay, you painted the bathroom orange, the office baby blue and expect love? Off with your earlobes I say!!!

Love how you get the shop working.i would love work in your shop.

I watched that entire 4.5hr video, don't know how RU-vid got me there but glad it did! I've enjoyed it so far and that was just couple days ago!

Guys! Great work, keep it up, and ignore the armchair mafia!

I may or may not have watched the 4 hour shop video twice.... Now I am cleaning my shop 🤔

The long shop build video is the one that got your subscriber boost I’d think.

Hi guys... I am an old time machinist... and I love machining. I also am a welder, and a fabricator and inventor, I also use SolidWorks from 2006 to ver 2022. And I have watched all your videos. And I have enjoyed all of them. I don't remember hearing you say you were a machinist... so what the heck... you have no reason to feel bad about anything your doing... from a machinist point of view. All the hecklers are idiots. I love what your doing, even though you do not work with thousands of an inch on your measuring tape... what you are doing is great.

I think 60fps is more important than 4K, and it's not that important either. Thanks for making the long restoration video :) I think long form is coming back, like "Line goes up" by Folding Ideas or a recent episode of Some More News, and I love it.

That first commenter would half like me, I have one attached and one detached ear lobe lol

God dam your attitude to the asshole comments is hilarious and deserving and awesome ,I'm fast becoming a huge fan of this channel ....keep it up guys....PS. I loved the 4 hr long video ,the best part was the old characters taking away the machinery awesome .

Well gentlemen, I don’t think I would have done much of anything differently then you have done on that 4 1/2 hour compilation. I love those old machines and have run some of those machines you found homes for. Great job on your channel, thanks for the content. Stay the course gentlemen. Thanks for the videos.

Tay love you and your buddies. I subbed after I watched the 4 hour video.

I don't watch 4 hour videos and I got through yours. Subbed and I'm watching the channel. Keep it real.

Loved watching you on BDS, and I think this format is awesome.

Great job on the shop,projects and the videos ! And remember "you can't please everyone but you gotta please yourself" Rick Nelson ( hey I'm 72 so that's what I've got) Garden Party

Dude yer killin hit. This cannel is going to explode. Keep up the great work

you guys are great !! Your 4hr video ROCKED !!

IT DOES MY HEART GOOD TO SEE YOU YOUNG'BUCKS TRYING TO KEEP 'OLE'SKOOL' ALIVE...I'm the ole'school you boys refer to, retired and enjoying my hobbies & videos like yours. Some refer with disdain to the ole'skoolers but...you should'a had to learn from the OLD-SCHOOLERS' I learned from. I thank them almost weekly for some little trick or tip they taught me that saved me some 'knuckle-skin' or worse. Hope you find unimaginable success...I found & subscribed to you on the 4hr-22min renovation and it brought me back to my days when I was a Young'Buck like you, can't tell you how many machines like those I've wired. My greatest heroes were the Millwrights...OMG, what they can do with a set of skates and a rigging bar! ...charlie...😎👍48

No need to thank us for viewing your channel, cause y'all have an awesome channel. Y'all take care.

Wow, fantastic on the double in subscriptions in such a short time!

i absolutely love this channel keep em coming.

I spent a few days watching your renovation collage video and it brought me to your channel. Getting hooked.

Keep on keepin' on, Tay. Don't let the bastards wear you down.

Glass window doors in the bathroom, something I have never seen, but every one else can.

I love your Chanel. I am 59 years old and loved seeing you grow up on tv. When I found you making your own content I was so happy. I loved the black dog show and loved the family working together feel it had. I love seeing your dad on the show. Keep up the good work and post more.

Holy crap man I didn't expect that check your inbox when you got time!

There is a saying, " don't sweat the petty things... and don't pet the sweatty things ". There will always be haters and your job is to ignore them and keep on making great things. Love your channel and i will be watching.

I subscribed two days ago at 10K, and have since watched approximately two days worth of video, haha. I appreciate you, the content and will check back in a few days for the 100K announcement ;)

love the music yall need a plalist of all the music yall use. also the shop vid i whached all of it love long form content and yall are awesome keep up the good work.

Won't be long and you will be hanging the 1 million subs. Thanks for fun videos.

I too liked the fact that you included the dates of the original videos in your 4 hour epic saga. Now the timeline will be preserved forever or at least until 1080p becomes obsolete some time next week.

Love your videos guys. Keep up the great craftsmanship and hard work my friends just keep grinding. Can't wait to see more videos soon. Forge On. Fab On. Weld On. Keep Making. God bless.
