    I'm watching, and I'll see this whole series through. I started an apprenticeship in 1972, and I love the many nuggets you so effortlessly dispense. Additional studies and examinations took me off the tools, but retirement sees me enjoying the immense satisfaction of turning rough metal into useful tools and equipment. As much as you show the how of the work, you share the philosophy of safe, methodical craftsmanship that is becoming all too rare. Long may you continue.

    Thank you Lyle, I received an BS-1 Precision Matthews dividing head for Christmas (early) and you are the first place I went for instruction. Metal shop was my favorite classes in high school and it’s a crime that most schools don’t offer much if any hands on training. I was a pipefitter for 34 years until health problems forced my retirement, you as well as Adam Booth are my new shop teachers and I can’t thank you enough. My wife’s family lives in Ottawa and I may ask for your address when I come out next spring to bring you a small gift of appreciation. Again thank you Mr Pete not many people left that give like you do.

    I have a Kempsmith #1 Universal milling machine. 2,700 pounds. It was lifted into the trailer by a gantry crane. However, at my end I had to unload it by myself with nothing more than rollers and a floor jack that I used to incline the trailer and then a chain fall that I used to control the thing as it rolled down the slightly inclined trailer bed. It was a fun afternoon.

    Mr. Pete,
    Would it be more accurate to drill the holes with a screw machine length drill? Would the accuracy be better if you used an undersize screw machine drill, then ream with a 1/8 inch reamer? I know this would be slow with the change of drill and reamer. Just curious if it would be worth it. Could you do a short course on rotary tables and rotary index heads. Perhaps with some setups for cutting external gears.
    Great video. Merry Xmas and Happy New Year.
