Channels like these are such gems. All I need or want is to watch and learn how things are made, assembled, restored, machined etc... no fluff, no filler, just.. content. IT'S PERFECT
I just want you to know how much I absolutely love your intro and the weird things you add in. It's neat to watch how all this stuff is fixed and you make it fun. You a real cool dude.
Or the other option is to set fire to this one* and find then restore something with more promise, can achieve a quality level matching his bridgebort (tm) ? Eg something like a Colchester? *or donate it to rollingmetal, which seems a sucker for completely crap lathes ?
Beautiful. If I was a collector, I'd buy it. I also love the gratuitous plugging for your wrenches. I've bought all three (that are realistic) and now use them more then I do an adjustable croissant, I mean crescent.
Let’s be real, the time and effort to research, build and edit this video is unreal. It’s not just about the views for you. You have a true passion for your craft, and the talent to go with it! Get this man to 1 million subs!
Really great to see you trying new things! Been watching for a while and I can tell you put a lot of time into this. The machining, the editing, and the memories! Thanks everything you do.
I LOVE how Keith explains how he makes things on his channel! I'll most likely NEVER have the ability to machine parts. With that said, it's interesting to me to know how & why he does what he does as he goes through the process of making parts!
I hope you never plan on disassembling the valve chest again, because that RTV is going to make it a nightmare. Take it from someone who's dealt with RTV on steam locomotives before :). Also remember the engine will have much more power on steam than compressed air, since steam has much more expansive force. Since it doesn't have a proper valve gear, It may also need to be timed differently for steam with an earlier cutoff so you use more of that expansive force, so you're not wasting a ton of steam which is important for small boilers.
At the end of the last video I was wondering just how much was left that needed to be done. There were so many parts you had to build in this video! The end result is a beautiful machine.
Love the work, now all you need to do is get a boiler to go with. Btw with experience/ knowledge from being a mechanic on full size steam locomotives, once you get that running on steam you get alot more power due to the expansion of the steam, and the whistle won't almost kill the engine, :)
Over the last three years I’ve gotten into watching these restoration videos and they are all pretty much formatted the same way which is part of the appeal, but your dry, sarcastic and subtitle comedy makes your videos the best of them all. I always find my self chuckling at something every video.
Looks absolutely great. I can't wait to see it run on live steam. Remember to be a little careful not to run it too long on compressed air unless you also inject some steam oil.
I constantly watch your videos and with each new video clip I do not cease to be surprised by your enthusiasm and enthusiasm in the process of work. Great job!, you really have GOLDEN hands! Sincerely from Russia!
Amazing! Love to see it working at the end. Really masterful stuff. Looking forward to a boiler companion video in the future sometime. Love your content!
I have a question it’s a steam engine correct but your running off of air how did it function back in the day just curious I love watching you restore history so don’t take my question as me being negative just trying to learn God Bless….Virgil
love some of the new stuff you are doing in your videos. Laughed out loud multiple times. (Home alone 2, Phone call, and multiple others). Thanks for all the effort it does not go unnoticed.
Absolutely remarkable restoration. That engine was basically scrap when you started. Looked to me like it had few components left . Thank you for bringing this rare and probably almost unknown engine back to life. You demonstrated great skill and understanding. You should reward yourself with a very capable newer metal lathe.
I watched the previous and this video multiple times and I always enjoy watching them. The question I have is, is this Steam engine powerful enough to run your gasoline-powered antique washing machine?
Well that was a total waste of time- said no one! That was however totally awesome. Especially when it started up! The sound is adorable. I hope you restore a boiler to go with it as well as hook (belt) it up to a tool. A figure jigsaw comes in mind (if thats the correct English name, but I think you get what I mean). Bring it on!
What a fantastic skill set!I hope there are thousands of machinists like you who can be ready to build out and repair old analog tech like this in the event of a catastrophe and all the sophistcated electronic stuff penetrating every thing we do is too hard to service, etc. I just worry that these old skills are falling off the planet. . . .This was one of your best projects, ever!
Wow! That really was the best! I love the sound of that old steam engine! It's amazing you were able to get that thing rebuilt -- and running again! That's crazy! Great job!! - Muddypaw🐾
#1. Love this stuff. SSSSSooooo zen for me... #2 Love laugh WITH you at yourself. #3 Been wondering for years. What do all of you makers do with the TONS (not quite literally, but maybe) of waste created by the metal-making process? No judgement at all. Strict curiosity. xoxoxo

keiths a great guy :)
makes those beautiful brass slides... can't make spacers to use instead of the washers...
Maybe you could do a restoration on your lathe too
@@ProfaneGod That was what I was thinking...
Keith has a excellent channel and I found yours from watching his. Always fun and something to leaner from the way they did it way back when.
Congrats on your new freshly restored engine for your lathe 😉
What a burn!
Hey he made a lot of new ones with it lol 🤣👍
Why would he need an engine if he already has a pedal lathe?
You both are really awesome but you have the crown for restoration.
@@benjaminstubbs7845 my mechanics definitely has an edge in precision but I've never seen him tackle a monster 2 man chainsaw or 1000+lb forging hammer. It would be very interesting no doubt if he did. Yes I'm tossing it out as a challenge

I spit chips out my mouth laughing out loud at that.
Legit was the perfectly cut scream.
i woke my sleeping dog upstairs with my outburst
Same here. I almost never comment but had to come and complement it.
It's amazing I haven't seen that movie in probably over two decades but immedietely recognized it as being from Home Alone lol.
27:16
Hand Tool: "I made this off camera, for fun!"
Viewers: "He forgot to put the camera on..."
Or went out to use a lathe that didn't ache and complain that much.....
HTR: “‘Surface Finish’? Yeah, the surface is finished.”
😤“Immediately start putting the wrong studs on”😂
That’s how I start every project!🤪
Every single time?
@@thunderstruck1078 and then some.

Hear, hear! Ditto for me!
The Marv tool was amazing. Had to rewind a few times cause it was that great! Keep up the great work!
Damn right, was gonna say something about that as well!! Sounds exactly the same
Yeah, that one sent me 🤣
I seen marv meme today, like 12 times now.
Edit : and atleast that good
I live under a rock. Can someone provide a time stamp?
Omfg lolol
I just want you to know how much I absolutely love your intro and the weird things you add in. It's neat to watch how all this stuff is fixed and you make it fun. You a real cool dude.
Thank you!
"I am going to use threadlocker in case I need to remove this later" Killed me! Fantastic work love watching your work.
And not just any thread locker! Red Loctite!
@@jedmedin5852 Loctite's high temp thread locker is also red.
@@thePond11 This is why he mentioned it.
He knows
As an ex USN old school boiler tech, I can fully appreciate what you've accomplished here. Pretty amazing you got the timing spot on the first time!
Time for a "Antique Hand Tool Rescue Lathe [restoration]" video 🤣
BTW, amazing work on the engine! Brilliant as always.
He still has a power forging hammer to restore!
@@Alex_whatever so the real question is: do you need a power hammer to restore a lathe or a lathe to restore a power hammer? 🤣
@@steair Yes.
Or the other option is to set fire to this one* and find then restore something with more promise, can achieve a quality level matching his bridgebort (tm) ? Eg something like a Colchester?
*or donate it to rollingmetal, which seems a sucker for completely crap lathes ?
Beautiful. If I was a collector, I'd buy it. I also love the gratuitous plugging for your wrenches. I've bought all three (that are realistic) and now use them more then I do an adjustable croissant, I mean crescent.
So much milling. Makes me miss This Old Tony.
What happened to him I wonder?
@@HakkaDakka death in the family, father in law, it's on his RUclips home page
@@mrcamelpmw ah, that sucks. thanks for letting us know
@@mrcamelpmw Terrible thing to happen. But I'm beginning to wonder if he's coming back though, as he hasn't made a video in half a year.
Hope all is ok with him
Let’s be real, the time and effort to research, build and edit this video is unreal. It’s not just about the views for you. You have a true passion for your craft, and the talent to go with it! Get this man to 1 million subs!
You should restore a "Hysteria" curing device from the 1800s lol
He did! Antique ball motor.
Everyone else: "Congrats on the restore!"
Me: *Loosing it after seeing skele-Marv*
That sound is going to play in my head every time I install a set of rings from now on.
Did it not before?
Really great to see you trying new things! Been watching for a while and I can tell you put a lot of time into this. The machining, the editing, and the memories! Thanks everything you do.
200 hours? More? Just the job is probably that much.
The tension/horror sound when putting the rings on was spot on.
Riiiiiii [let's look at it again] iiiiiiiiiise!
Thank you for saving this engine and educating us on engineering restoration.
Bonus points for it not walking off the bench when you fired it up! Nice job.
This was the second time he fired it.
He used a satellite controlled robotic drone from Utah the first time.
I’d be more worried about backyard mechanics rebuilding snowmobile clutches.
Absolutely incredible, this must have taken you months. I’m so impressed & I absolutely love the humour you put into your videos. Well done 👏 👏👏
"Only use this clamping method if you want to die"
Count me in!
*Don't mind if I do!*
I LOVE how Keith explains how he makes things on his channel! I'll most likely NEVER have the ability to machine parts. With that said, it's interesting to me to know how & why he does what he does as he goes through the process of making parts!
Using loctite is the #1 way to identify parts that will need to be removed in the future for repairs.
I hope you never plan on disassembling the valve chest again, because that RTV is going to make it a nightmare. Take it from someone who's dealt with RTV on steam locomotives before :).

34:44 - it's the little bits of fun like this which make the channel extra special for me, always appreciate seeing them :D
Love the work, now all you need to do is get a boiler to go with.
Btw with experience/ knowledge from being a mechanic on full size steam locomotives, once you get that running on steam you get alot more power due to the expansion of the steam, and the whistle won't almost kill the engine,
:)
and it will have the proper tone of a true steam whistle!
was about to say he now needs a boiler
I too vote for boiler
How come HTR is so funny, talented, creative, intelligent, suave and handsome? Seems suspicious 🤔
Keith is such a good sport. When he picked up that old timey phone I nearly died 🤣👍
Your theme song is pure friggen evil - every time I hear it, it's stuck in my head for hours after...
Brilliant. And Keith's appearance was a treat.
Indeed
It's the projects that brought me here, it's the humor that keeps me coming back!
Did not replace OEM baling wire 3/10
Massive smile on my face when I saw it run.
Brilliant co-operation with Mr Rucker.
Looks a lot like the African Queen engine. If it’s a riverboat marine engine that explains why it was in a river.
Love how Keith's...ahem..."phone"...is still corded. As well as his actual antique phone. :-)
Thumbs up to your Škoda brand live center!I live in the city where these were made, so for "some weird reason" I'm using same for my lathe :-)
20 seconds laugher because of the Marv reference, thanks for that!
I fear for your hands, every time I see that clapped out fucking lathe
Love this channel.
✌🏻👏
Shouldn't the valve have a piece of threaded rectangular bar that floats for adjustment instead of the 2 nuts?
Ahhhh I see Hand Tool Rescue has learned the ancient karate chopping method for getting parts to seat. Very fine technique you have.
That lathe... I thought ASMR was supposed to be relaxing... I want to die.
Next up: Lathe restoration! Introducing your second channel, Machine Tool Rescue!
Is there any way you could make more than 1 video per month? I need MOAR!
Remarkable result considering your lathe is ready to retire. Thank you Eric.
Now he has a steam-powered lathe.
Congratulations! A wonderful big project! You have invested a lot of work. Thumbs up!
the quality of the restoration, the time invested, the insanity level to do it, the humor, such an awesome work!
Over the last three years I’ve gotten into watching these restoration videos and they are all pretty much formatted the same way which is part of the appeal, but your dry, sarcastic and subtitle comedy makes your videos the best of them all. I always find my self chuckling at something every video.
HTR: Lathe, y u cry?
Lathe: Because you've hurt my feelings.
HTR: [Gets mad. Karate chops valve housing.]
About restoring your old lathe, how about the other Keith? Keith Fenner Turnwright Machineworks.
I have a fondness of the way things used to be and I really enjoy watching all of these old tools and machines come back to life.
The lathe needs to be rescued. And from the sound of the mill, a little assistance could be used there as well.
But, I love these videos.
Yeah, I thought the Bridgeport wasn't sounding so great either... It shouldn't be making such a racket machining brass!
This sucks! It really, REALLY sucks! There was no “TADAH” when the piston rings fitted! I want my “TADAH”!
Tadah your wish is granted
I keep expecting Larry and Balki to pop up during the theme song. Love it.
That “steam whistle” had my dog all messed up😂 looked at me like wtf was that
Looks absolutely great. I can't wait to see it run on live steam. Remember to be a little careful not to run it too long on compressed air unless you also inject some steam oil.
I constantly watch your videos and with each new video clip I do not cease to be surprised by your enthusiasm and enthusiasm in the process of work. Great job!, you really have GOLDEN hands! Sincerely from Russia!
I was thinking this project was right up Keith's alley and then like magic he appeared!
Lathe restoration when?
Maybe keith can hand scrape the bed
You do some great work. Take care of your lathe instead of shitting on it.
Very satisfying restoration
Did he want a US Gallon, or an Imperial Gallon? What the heck, give him the BONUS!!
I would love to see a part three on what you're going to use this for/do with it please!!
I think your headstock needs new bearings especially in the thrust category
Or at least they need adjusting
I think his stock head needs a new lathe.
This one slows down under mild pressure.
His lathe too.
This video was among your most nerve-wracking
The sounds of wailing made me weep. I also had to chew some wool as a distraction.
Brilliantly done, and thank you... I think.
Kkkkkk muito bom e divertido o sorriso é por o senho com o telefone antigo
Does this mean we can look forward to a mini series of videos on a [Restoration] of your lathe?
Amazing! Love to see it working at the end. Really masterful stuff. Looking forward to a boiler companion video in the future sometime. Love your content!
Eric's comedic prowess is absolutely fantastic!
I have a question it’s a steam engine correct but your running off of air how did it function back in the day just curious I love watching you restore history so don’t take my question as me being negative just trying to learn God Bless….Virgil
Gorgeous! A ton of work, but so satisfying to see working and such a pretty engine!
See if you can talk Adam out of one of his lathes.
And nothing on the workbench was shaking while the engine was running. Amazing.
And for my next rescue... my lathe ;)
love some of the new stuff you are doing in your videos. Laughed out loud multiple times. (Home alone 2, Phone call, and multiple others). Thanks for all the effort it does not go unnoticed.
Oh my god I'm so glad that Marv moment is getting so much love XD Classic!
Love the audio tension added when seating piston ring. Great work! Nail biting!
Vraiment, j'adore ce travail et son sens de l'humour 🤣
Personally - you did an outstanding rebuild on this engine. Like your neat "Phone" to Keith Rucker.
Those black phones ought be used more often.
Keith does excellent work. As for you. You're on a level unmatched. So enjoy the videos.
FANTASTIC! Well done!! you are an excellent tradesman! I love to see vintage machines come back to life and in working order! Love it!
OMG 1:22 HAHAHA, that sound is spot on xD .
Amazing buildout, we know you only did this for a neat new whistle. Good for you.
I love watching your videos. in Vietnam it is very difficult to find the tools to test machines like you !
All this brass you used made me think how badass it would be to make a solid brass adjustable wrench!! Ide buy one for sure..
Some A+ level shitposting in this video.
Well done.

You did a damn fine job on that vertical steam engine sir
The Marv screaming reference at 1:20 had me laughing so hard I had to pause the video!
This series was just plain FANTASTIC!
There is Good, better, best, superb, Outstanding and then there is this...Out of the solar system HTR. Semi Speechless! Thanks HTR made my week!
Well that was a total waste of time- said no one!
That was however totally awesome. Especially when it started up! The sound is adorable.
I hope you restore a boiler to go with it as well as hook (belt) it up to a tool. A figure jigsaw comes in mind (if thats the correct English name, but I think you get what I mean).
Bring it on!

Right before he put oil on the random pin lying on the floor, I was thinking "yeah just put oil all over everything" this man understands me too well.
