@12:43 Those are Morse "QD" hubs. I sold a LOT of them back in my job as a Sales Engineer for an Industrial Equipment House here in Atlanta (Fulton Supply Co.). Those and Dodge "Taper-Lock" pulleys and hubs were VERY popular at the time (early to mid '80s). Most preferred the Taper-Lock ones because they were a lower profile and would fit into tighter places. The principle is the same...
First my congratulations to you and your wife. My wife and I were also married the day after Thanksgiving 56 years ago. likewise our first grandchild was born the day after Thanksgiving. Life is good! Happy anniversary and many more to come, B&G
Congratulations to you and your wife for your anniversary. Have a great trip and happy thanksgiving day. I am very thankful for you I watch evry video since a couple of years back.
I’ve got a 5 gallon bucket full of old and new pulleys and sprockets I picked up at an auction one time. There’s occasionally one that I need in there but usually something is usually just a little off. One of the things I find useful with them is if I need something to layout a radius with, I can usually find one that will work for larger radius’s ( 1” up to around 10”), so it’s been a good buy.
I was in the 2/11th Artillery 101st Airborne from January 1971-February 1972. I dealt with the 801st for parts on our 155 howitzers and other things along the way. I had a couple of good friends that served there in the 801st, one guy married a Vietnamese girl and left to live with her. He finally came back and they made him finish his tour there. That and I don’t think they paid him while he was gone, I don’t think that they could figure out a worse place to send him. lol. It was an honor to serve and thank you for your service also.
I have the same 2 step stool for in the house projects, very handy size. Also have a 5’ and a 7’ You need the right tool for the job. Your new Gorilla will be handy. Happy anniversary . We are at 43 years and counting.
Happy anniversary. This was a milestone year for me and my wife too. On the cotton front. My grandfather was a machinist and inventor. He lived in the boot heel area of Missouri. He made the first cotton picker. Unfortunately he was very proud of his work and showed a friend. The friend made one too and put a patent on it. It was a wicked looking farm invention. I have a copy of a copy of a picture.
Good morning Keith, Congratulations on your 30th anniversary. The best part about having your shop at home is the wife knows where you are and you’re not under her feet. Having time to do your own hobbies is important. Thanks for sharing the ladder I sent you. They are very stable and I encourage everyone to swing by Home Depot and try them out. I actually replaced my wood ladder and I like how little space it takes up. Happy Thanksgiving to everyone.
Happy Thanksgiving. It's mot something we celebrate here in the UK ; maybe we should, even though there's no historical reason. Happy Anniversary too !
The support from a wife/partner is so important in living our lives as couples and it's great that you reference her in facilitating your passion in what you do. Good on you Mrs Rucker. Sounds like Keith hooked himself a great prize in you. Thirty two years married I've to the same girl and it has been a rollercoaster ride all the way through the years but the love and friendship has never waivered or been stronger between us. Keep on keeping on guys :)
Congratulations on 30 years. Next year is 24 for my wife and I. I remember the video she came out and helped you with. It was a bench if memory serves! My tiny shop is a MESS! I have no idea how to organize it all. I did get a free cabinet a few months ago (20 drawer Military card file really), but it's Pretty sweet now. I just printed a ton of grindfinity items for it, and I now have 2 drawers of router bits, a drawer for my dremel, another for all my Forstner bits and specialy drill bits, etc. Funny how a "free" cabinet can cost so much though. 8 rattle cans of primer and paint, a jug of 'citrus strip' to replace the strip-eze I was using... BTW: Citrus Strip is horrible in comparison to the Strip-Eze. Needed twice as much of that stuff to do the job as the stripeze...but yea...
Happy Anniversary to you both! Yes I have a workshop that gets out of hand too , I am a retired engineer so have a similar organizational obsession, I hate having to look for something that has a place but didn’t get back home!
We don't have Thanksgiving here in Belgium, but I like the idea, to at least stand stil once a year and be thankful to everyone dear to you and what you have. Perhaps it would be appropriate moment to give some moral support to those who are less fortunate. A big thanks anyway from me, to make these awesome video's, I enjoy them each time… Ps. Congratulations to Mrs. Mr Rucker for your 30th anniversary
The 20 minute mark. Those 2 tools look to be Caterpillar timing pins. The small one would fit the Fuel pump while the larger fits in the flywheel. Should be 1/4 inch and 3/8 inch diameter. There are also 1/2 inch and 5/8 pins for the different engine models.
Happy Thanksgiving to you. Keith and your wife and to all your family. I hope you have a great 1 and happy holidays. This is Bob from Vero Beach Florida. God bless, you say Save. Happy Anniversary too?Then I just heard that to you and your wife thirty years god helped you
Happy Anniversary, Happy T Day and have a nice trip! The other side of the equation that you probably are not full aware is how much you give to us, the viewers - which is why I am thankful for you.
Keith, seeing those prints arrive on your workbench, it's interesting to think just how much of the artwork I've been obsessing over... first had to find its way to you there in Georgia, across catalogs and brochures, old ink printed on worn paper - to be carefully scanned, and freely shared back into the world on Vintage Machinery - for me to someday comb through it, spending untold hours in Photoshop to bring back a bit of life and color... all to create new prints, fresh ink on crisp paper - that I've now shared back to the person and the place where so much of it started. There's just some sort of subtle poetry in all of that. Glad you enjoyed them, and appreciate you taking a minute to share them with everyone here. My grandfather Wallace (Mr. Sawdust, as he was best known) would be thrilled to know his story's still unfolding among those he once called "a very special breed of people" - fellow woodworkers, lifelong students, and craftsman of every sort. In the dedication of his book, he wrote something simple and profound, to his wife of 50 years: "To my wife - who understood me, and forgave me for it." - so much said, in so few words. Happy anniversary to you! - David
Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family! Thank you for all you do for all of us out here on the interwebs, providing interesting, entertaining and informative content. Happy 30th Anniversary to you and your wife!
Some of the best, inexpensive t-shirts I've found are to buy Gildan G200 or H400 from somewhere like Shirt Space. They're fairly heavy weight and I believe 100% cotton.
I think it is more like us guys who have to be thankful to you Keith for allowing us to share your wealth of experience. Happy Thanksgiving from the UK.
When welding, grinding, forge work, wearing 100% cotton is the safe thing to do. Polyester will turn you into a funeral pyre. Cotton will smolder or the fuzz will burn off and you are relatively safe. Happy Thanks Giving to you.
I agree with you 100% about quality. I would rather pay double for something that will last than for something that needs to be replaced in a year or three. I would love to see a tour of your storage building. I do not expect it to be neat or organized, I know how storage buildings can be. I am just interested to see what all you have out there.
Congratulations on 30 years. My wife and I hit that mark on labor day weekend. We celebrate every year and are well aware of how long we've been married but the 30th was the one that really hit us both. Our anniversary trip was during your last trip with Clark.
Not gonna lie in this comment, so here it comes. I’ve been following the Tally-Ho restoration since day one. And when it came time for the capstan project I was guided to a couple other channels. Watched Dave Clark make the form. Followed that over to Windy Hill foundry with the pouring of the cap, then it came to you Keith. Once the other two channels were done with their parts I tuned out, and I’m sure many others did as well based off their views pre and post tally ho involvement. But yours has kept me. Your channels are informative, engaging, and as a big part of it, have you in them. You make them more engaging and informative. You don’t repeat yourself over and over, have to make 30 attempts to get something done, and constantly have new content, whether it be the same project or not, it feels new and fresh each time.
Confession is vital to the soul! Happy Thanksgiving! Us Canucks celebrated last month because we have a few feet of snow on the ground by this time of year! Brrrrrrrr!
Congratulations, and thanks for sharing! I know what it is to have a spouse who lets me be me, and I'm so thankful for her. I already knew your wife was the same, but it warmed my heart to hear you say it. I have a short step ladder almost exactly like the one you showed us near the end of the video, and it has been sooooo helpful! First, it's so light and small that shifting it around is no issue at all; and, second, having the legs go up to the top -- where they sort of become arms -- gives me something to grip when I'm on the lower, more often used, steps. For my aging, aching back, this added stability is great, especially when I'm reaching at odd angles.
Does that two hours of clean up include looking for 10 mm sockets? …and Happy Thanksgiving to my American friends and congratulations on your 30th anniversary!
On those Davis broaches, John at Howie's machine shop youtube channel did a few videos on I think 2 different Davis key seaters, one of which they use fairly regularly. He's mentioned before that he's always looking out for them. Just a thought 😊
11:15 we have one of these machines at my shop, i'm not sure what model number it is off hand but it's a really nifty machine to run and very well built. ours was built in spain but very good machine.
Julie is an angel for (a) giving Keith a loose rein in the shop, and (b) tolerating a hyper-organized agricultural scientist for 30 years.
Congratulations Keith on 30 years together.
Happy Anniversary, Mr. Rucker and Mrs. Rucker!

The intro was really great - the human side of orderliness, and your thankfulness for what (and who!) you have.
Quite humanly relatable; very nice.
As someone who was married for 33 years, happy anniversary Keith and Julie.
I have been married 31 years now.
Congratulations Keith and. Mrs Rucker
First my congratulations to you and your wife. My wife and I were also married the day after Thanksgiving 56 years ago. likewise our first grandchild was born the day after Thanksgiving. Life is good!

Like your work,love your shop. It gets messy cause you are doing stuff, a vicious circle.
Thanks for sharing 👍 Congratulations on 30 years of marriage. Me and my wife just celebrated our 40th 😅
Keith sets a fine example of gratitude for the benefits we've widely enjoyed .
We are thankful for having you as a friend!
Congratulations on 30 years. It only gets better from here. We just celebrated our 53rd anniversary.
Happy Anniversary Keith and Julie!
Awesomeness Extreme!
Congratulation Keith and Julie on your pearl anniversary. Hope you have a splendid day. Best wishes from Switzerland.
We are thankful for you and your channel. Happy Tday, Keith.
Happy anniversary. And some of the best work gets done in the most cluttered shop if you know where it is, that's all that matters
Good morning Keith,

Happy Anniversary too !
Happy Anniversary, kids. LOL. That is a fabulous achievement.
Good morning Keith! You and your family have a Happy Thanksgiving.
Happy Thanksgiving and Happy Anniversary to you and your wife.
Dear Mr Rucker, happy anniversary from Jakob over in Plumstead, SE London in the UK. Never missed a posting....

Happy anniversary! Wishing you many more!
Shop clean up and reset time is always key. My goal is to make future me not unhappy with current me.
Congratulations on 30 years. Next year is 24 for my wife and I. I remember the video she came out and helped you with. It was a bench if memory serves!

Always love your videos. Happy Thanksgiving, Keith, to you and your family.
Great video Keith. More people need to concentrate on the gratitude. The world will be a better place. I love you, brother happy holidays.
Always enjoy for videos. You need to get a D C Morison key seater made here presently in Cincinnati. Previously located in Coventing, KY.
Happy Anniversary Keith & Julie and Happy Thanksgiving!
Very thankful for you Keith. I use your vintagemachinery collection often and I am very thankful for that effort.
Happy Thanksgiving Keith. Happy Happy to you and the Wife.

Happy anniversary Keith!

That lies behind me , but I know what you mean.
I live 12 hours ahead; I get Japanese single malt whiskey.
