If you retire from RUclips let it be known this is one viewer who learned a lifetime of machining from the best shop teacher in the world.
You will be sorely missed but you deserve to enjoy time with your family.
Wishing you the best,
Marv Linke.
ps, I guessed $500
Thank you very much
Because of Mr Pete I am now walking out to my home shop with more knowledge than my high school shop teacher possessed about metal working / machining.
Well said!
Ditto X 3.!
What a lovely compliment thank you so very much from Doug
Live long and prosper. I for one believe you've had a positive influence on the world. Thank you for bringing a bit of sanity to an insane world.
Thank you very much
@@mrpete222 I've been following your channels for several years now, and I can assure you that you've been one of the most positive influences in my life. Your channel has helped me through rough times, if only because of your dry, wonderful humour. As far as machining goes, well. that goes without saying! I wish I could know how many would-be machinists have become actual machinists thanks to your channel.
Here's to you!
It will be a sad day on earth the day those videos are posted to RUclips Mr Pete. God's speed and good luck from Ireland.
Thanks
An other fan from Ireland here Mr Pete, keep up the good work.
🍀
Yet another fan from good old Ireland, your not ready for your dirt nap yet Mr Pete 222. Hang on in there 👍
@@mrpete222
I say "if you start smelling earthworms, kick your way out of the box". You should still have 15 or 20 years of retirement to look forward to!
Wishing you good health for many years to come. Keep the videos coming.
Thanks
@@mrpete222 don't worry about Corona. It's the biggest hoax EVER perpetrated on the world. The Gateway pundit April 10th article listed only 150 deaths in the US due to Corona for people without a preexisting condition or comorbidity.
@@ronshekelson *sigh*... that'''s idiotic. That's an awful set of human trash spreading whatever conspiracy theories demonize half the country and bring in the donations. Truth or not, it doesn't matter to them as long as they "help" their side and make you hate people that don't agree with you even more. Even finding this concept in more honest publications, they're counting everything under the sun as preexisting conditions. How many Americans are technically overweight? High blood pressure, hypertension (even controlled)? Diabetic? Old is a preexisting condition? With the latest about no-symptom spreaders being "very rare", we shouldn't be shutting down (pretty huge screwup there, IMHO) but we should all be wearing masks out around other people. It's to protect people like Mr. Pete here, and my mid-70s lunch buddies. 150 people. F*ing hell. It's ridiculous how many people will listen to anonymous social media and conspiracy theories and ignore actual professional media. Sure, there's a lot of screwups in the media but it's a huge step up from random online hearsay and outright foreign propaganda attacks. We used to make fun of the conspiracy theorists ("bar codes on the back of street signs are for the UN to be able to find their way around when they invade", etc)... let's find our way back to that. The current stats are 115,000 dead in the US. Sure, some of those are people that died that happened to test positive but CV had nothing to do with it. If that's "bar codes on street signs" crazy level high, MAYBE only 20% are real COVID cases. That's still 23,000 people. I'd guess it's probably more like the other way around.
Suzuki made motorcycles and autos.
Got a little twinge of dread when you said this was your last video. Got better when you explained. Guess your governor has overlooked auctions as something to shut down. Shhhhhh.
You can’t imagine the resentment of people have for our governor. But some fools will get him reelected
@@mrpete222 Pretty much the same here in PA. 😤
@@mrpete222 Is it a kind of pandemia or is it burried in the DNA of polititians to be same dumb world wide? Is a certain stupidity the common factor? No difference here in nothern Europe.....
Last auction,......... until the next one😉
Have a Jesus filled day

I started watching your videos more than 10 years ago after I bought an ancient Atlas 10-D lathe (1937 model) and found you after doing a search on youtube for "Atlas lathe"..it was your 4-jaw demonstration. I've not missed a video since and what I have learned from you since that time gave me the confidence to purchase a larger and more modern 12x36 machine and a milling machine as well. Your teaching has enabled me to use those machines for both fun and for profit and your videos on bench work have expanded my knowledge in those areas also. I owe you a lot, Mr. Pete..as do so many other viewers of your channel. Not only for the instruction but for the sheer entertainment and the life lessons you have taught us, probably without realizing you were setting such a wonderful example for so many of us. As I conclude my comment as I always do..know that it is heartfelt: Thanks, Mr. Pete! :-)
Thank you very much for being so encouraging I’m glad you have enjoyed my videos
dale pratt Lyle has saved from the scrapyard more used atlas 10” lathes and Bridgeport’s than anyone.
That grin you're trying to hide in the beginning. You were really pleased with that starrett score.
It is near sun-up, yet you have have brightened my day already. Thank you. By the way, wink wink, I will be sending you cash for your trip. You should receive it sometime yesterday. Wink wink.
lol. Glad I brighten your day. And you just gave me a chuckle
Lyle, Thank You - For All You Do, Makes Our Days - Pleasant and Thought Full - History is Lost, If Not Told...
Beside's Where Would We Be - With Out Machines ? So Keep Machining...God Bless, Stay Safe, Stay Strong...
It'll be a very sad day when them video become free to view! I love your long winded and ranting it makes me laugh!
Thanks
My brother-in-law has an older brother in his mid-70s who caught the Covid virus. He was pretty sick for awhile, but he recovered and is fine now. You seem like a pretty tough old bird Mr. Pete, even if you catch it I'll bet you'll be OK.
Wow Mr. Pete! I think the toolbox is awesome. $525.00! You live in a machinist rich area lucky. When you opened the drawer and pulled that starrett level out well that just made my day. I would call that tool box a treasure chest. Thanks for the videos. I am addicted to your channel.
I think I am too cheap to ever get a shiny tool box of Starret tools. My hundred is coming to you by carrier pigeon. Keep a look out for birds in the southern sky.
lol
Awesome score Mr. Pete! As I already told you, I picked up a loaded Kennedy Box for $300 last month. I went to look at it because the add said "some tooling". Turns out the guy was a Starrett hoarder and the box contained thousands of dollars of tools / tooling. I'm envious of your Starrett level...nice score.. That was almost worth the price of admission right there. Thanks for what you do. -Scott
I think you really got a good buy on that box. Mine was not really a good buy money wise
Mr Pete, I'm a new subscriber. I love your content. You don't seem boastful at all. Enthusiastic and excited? Yes. I enjoyed going through the box with you. Do you happen to remember the "Special" Micrometer model number? The one that converts a 2" to a 1" mic? Thank you, and keep up the excellent work!
Thank you for subscribing and watching. No I do not have an answer for you on that micrometer.
Lyle, you have been a real inspiration to me as I restore our 1939 Craftsman master metal lathe. You 12 inch Atlas lathe vids have been quite helpful. Thank You so very much!
Mr. Pete. " like ,subscribe, give a thumb's up , and send money "
Me. " the world IS going to hill in a handbasket"
I loved my Carpentry shop teacher, and I love you. You two are great men, willing to teach, be patient, and share your hard learned wisdom with everyone willing to listen. You both have a great since of HUMOR too. 25 years ago was my last wood shop class with Mr. Wright. I miss it. You earned it, spend it and enjoy it on whatever you desire!
Thank you very much. It is heartening to hear how many people enjoyed their shop teachers. We were not very well respected in our home schools
pete what lovely tool box tour .and your awesome from doug
Thanks
very nice tool box, Japanese tools have always been excellent quality, Cheers from Australia.
Yes
Lyle, Your videos are skillfully made and full of good information. Thank You. I have bought and sold Gerstner boxes since 1977. Their options have only slightly changed since then. When I bought my first one you had your choice of Walnut or Oak but they all had sheet metal in the bottom of the drawers. Also, they had two lines (back then) and your box looks like the cheaper line. I believe the cheaper line had red felt. My current box has green felt. If you take a look at the current Harbor Freight tool box you can easily see the difference in quality. The HF boxes are horrible. I believe your box is the cheaper Gerstner line. Good luck in Hawaii and thanks for all the videos. --Chuck
I agree, I have examined the boxes at horrible freight
So long for now Mr Pete, stay well and be happy from your UK pals
I guessed $550, guess I could have been high bidder! lol I think you still did well, that had several tools and the box is pretty nice. I sure wouldn't complain about using it.
Thanks
The ancient draughting tools would have been terribly interesting!
I might show them, but they are not much
Still have mine, went through school with them and just for old times sake they come out now and then and I particularly love using the Indian Ink attachments. makes for beautiful drawings. Showed my grandchildren and they were blown away by this stuff!
Im not looking forward to the day of a "last video" from you mrpete. Ive actually lost a couple "internet friends" that passed. It was shocking, ubrupt and extremely saddening when they were gone and that was it, they were gone. We never got to meet face to face after several years of conversing. The feeling of extreme loss was still there. So, im not looking forward to that feeling. Anyhoo for now just keep the videos coming sir, as long as possible. Ive never learned so well about so much from another teacher. You can take that to the bank! Ted in Michigan
Thank you very much watch for an important announcement in about two weeks
4" calipers are great for mini lathe turners. You can make quick depth readings with the tail stock mounted
Mr. Pete, please don’t go !,,,dam .....this is sad but I’m HAPPY FOR HIM,... Thank you for being my instructor it means a lot too me .... sorry I got too go be alone for a while Pete ....bye Brother.🐾🐾🐾🐾👣👣👣👣👣✝️⚔️🎣🇸🇪✝️☦️💐🐟🙏
I’ll be back
Mr Pete.
You forgot to say “ring the bell 🔔 for notifications “ 😃
lol
No need to ring the bell for many of us. We check our RUclips subscriptions any time we can afford to watch. For me that is several times per day, every day. I might not be the first to watch each new video, but I'm never late by more than a few hours. (If my email notification chimed every time one of my YT subscriptions posted a new video, I'd never have time to watch them.)
Please don't give these programs up! If you had to you could even go to a monthly program. It would be as good for you as it would be for your followers. The old timers Machine Shop.
Bob Fournier The Tinker Shop
Good idea
I just started playing your RUclips videos this year, so I’ll miss you, but I understand that you have other fish to fry, have liked this video, and hope you the very best.
Be well!
Thanks
he won't be off tube anytime soon he loves us and we love him - he;ll only get off tube when he crosses the jordan for his dirt nap (his words not mine)
Really nice vid lyle i,m 77 yo so i think you will be around A LONG TIME. CHEARS
👍👍
You make me laugh - love your sense of humor
Thanks
The set of Dawes , pis better than a chest. i have often mad Dawes to fit out of steel chests 7 ammunition boxes , it Mack's storage & access so much. convenience. i cant, afford to send you a 100 dollars Mr but i wish you a grate holiday . Les Thompson . England .
Thanks 👍😄😄
For the Hawaii trip, you should start a Go Fund Me page Ha Ha. Just remember: "It's the Modern Way to Beg!" Wink, wink, nod, nod!
@C M W I know. I was kidding too.
So the last auction until the next one. I think a very good price for the box and contents, the box looks to be very well made. My Grandfathers box has sheet metal drawer bottoms, made in the 20s/30s. I will see what I can do to get that 100$ to you for your trip. Stay Safe and Upright.
Hi Randy the trip to Hawaii was a joke you know
@@mrpete222 Oh I think you should go, When you get there they have a 14 day quarantine you have to go thru before traveling around.
I missed by a mile, still a good deal though. stay well Mr Pete.
Lyle I’ve been watching your videos since you started or very shortly after and I think you are the best thing that ever happened to RUclips! You really changed for me what I thought RUclips was about. That it was more than just cat videos! I have learned so much from you and you inspired me to start my own RUclips channel, Right On with Jon Crane. Thanks Mr. Pete! You are one heck of a teacher and a swell guy. I pray your videos keep coming! 🙏🏼✨
Thanks for watching. I just subscribed and will check out some of your videos. Take care
mrpete222 That’s quite an honor to have Tubal Cain subscribe to my channel! Thanks Mr. Pete!
Thank you Mr. Pete, if you never make another video, you will still leave a great legacy! I have learned so much over the years. Thank you from one grateful viewer and subscriber.
Ditto!
Lyle, what a score! That gentleman definitely took care of those tools. I'd certainly like to find a Heathkit TV (or any Heathkit item) at an auction or yard sale. ;) That old lathe looks a bit like mine, a 1911 10-inch South Bend lathe that started its life as a pedal lathe too, but was modified like that one with a jackshaft & electric motor. I wish mine has all of its change gears and accessories like that one had.
Yes
I am very sad that all the tractor shows and flea markets in my area have been cancelled for this year, i guess i have to start hitting the estate sales! Nice video mr. Pete
I am sick about all the needless cancellations. Pretty much ruined my summer, in the interest of my good health, LOL
While I have yet to even have a lathe or hobby shop, the lesson's and wisdom you share with us is priceless. From watching you I've learned to plan ahead, work out what I wish to make then acquire just what is needed to make that thing. If I need another tool, instead of buying a ready made, can I make it myself???
So much to learn....... I can't thank you enough Sir. On this contagion that's going around..... I know that me, my brother and mother had the bug back in january, we just thought it was a bad flu or cold. I took a day off work, so did brother. We're still around, it's not the nicest thing but people are surviving it. The media don't report that as it doesn't grab headlines as quickly.... don't worry, you'll be fine.
Thanks
I bought that same box just about 10 yrs ago at COSTCO. Well made and a nice finish. It cost me $125.00. It was made in China as a copy of the holy grail.
I’ll be darn. Are you sure it’s the exact same one. I hope you have solved the mystery
Hi Pete, At first glance I thought it was a Gerstner, then I then looked real close, I said wow what a great copy. I really wanted a gerstner but couldn't justify the cost, I already had two. It lasted 10 years with daily use. It made a nice gift to one our apprentices when I retired.. Fully loaded with tools.. I sold the rest of the boxes and tools on Ebay and basically broke even with the pricing and delivery of what I paid during the past 40+ years of working...
Hi Uncle Pete, it's me your long lost nephew Chuck. Looking forward to seeing you in Hawaii.
I'd say you paid 600 for the box, well since you said 500 after I commented I'm changing my bid to 500 lol. If this is the last auction you attend I'll eat my shoe
lol
My grandfather was a tool and die maker. I got his machinist box prior to his passing so I got a chance to talk to him about the tools that were in the box. I still use the tools to this day 50 years later. Many have his name etched on them. It gives me a feeling of connection with him when I use them. There is a lot of Starrett but there are several Craftsman tools in the lot. He claimed that they were made by Starrett at the time. I don't know if that is true or not but they are good quality made in USA tools non the less. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks
$525 is not nothing. I hope your wife appreciates the box. I like the metal drawer bottoms. I'll have to remember that one.
The reports of your demise have been greatly exaggerated. I suspect you will be back.
Thank you Mr. Twain
My 74 year old dad managed to fight off the virus, but sincerely hope that you and your family don't have to go through that. Please take care, but looks like you are enjoying life whilst you can, nice box!
Yes
What a great attitude you always have! I'll put money on it that you will record a video of you of the ins and probably not the outs of your dirt bed and requesting your family to post it when the time comes. Which in fact we are all hoping is a long and healthy time from now. I wonder if Gerstner makes a custom silk and velvet lined 1/4 sawn oak 6 ft. box? For you it will last for ever.For me it will need to be fire proof. Always a pleasure! Ed K.. Oh.
What a great idea, a Gerstner coffin
@@mrpete222
And a custom molded felt liner! Sounds so comfortable! Bet you could rest forever in one of those! ⚰
Mr. Pete, love the videos. I am a young gear head from one of the southern suburbs of chicago and am looking to expand my tool collection. I was just wondering if you would be able to tell me what your source is for finding these tool auction and sales. In other words: the paper, online, word of mouth? I sure hope this is not your last auction or video. Thanks for all the instruction thus far. Keep up the good work.
Barnes started carrying a jackshaft electrical conversion in 1908, but that was not it. The lathe looked like a 4 1/2, same as mine.
I am so jealous there is thousands of £ worth of starrett tools.
Thank you. It is a pretty nice haul
Considering that my meager collection of tools currently resides in a Plano tacklebox, THAT TOOLCASE IS GREAT,
gettin' OLD is the ultimate --(if we're lucky..!!), condition of us all ..!! ..KUDOS to you ..!!
75% of my inspection tools are Starrett tools. Peppered in are better specific tools, fr. B&S, Mititoyo, Interrapid, Suburban; etc. Don't appoligize. Quit commenting on the trolls, they need not your attention.
I just came home from the hospital (open heart surgery) and watched this video. The Suzuki "ball gages" you display at the beginning of your video sure gave me a blast from the past. On November 27, 2019 on my Instagram page (@tigwelder) I featured 2 tools that I bought in 1973 when I was 17 years old. One tool is a set of Suzuki telescoping gages. Replies from other "gramers" suggest that Mitutoyo made our gages and possibly other metrology tools for Suzuki, back in the day. If you're not needing those ball gages, may I purchase them from you please? If you reply with an email address (I couldn't find one for you on this channel) I'll contact you and we'll chat. Many thanks, Sir.
Mr. Pete!! Don't throw away the Home Shop Machinist mags!! I'll take them off your hands and I'll even do it for free. Lol!!!!
And goodness gracious Mr. Pete!!!! You scored the Starrett jackpot!!! It really would be a jackpot if you didn't have to pay those Starrett prices. Lol!! Beautiful find, sir. Beautiful indeed.
And Mr. Pete, you're not going anywhere. You're way too rambunctious to be thinking you're in the final years. Corona virus ain't got the balls to take you down! Hahaha! You're a great man Mr. Pete. I don't care what This Old Tony says about you.
Please don't throw the magazines away I will for sure buy them from you......as you do I love to buy magazines to read, but I don't throw them away....let me know if your willing to sell them....Thank you!!!
Well, I hope that you survived Covid. I assume that you did because I've seen a lot of your videos. I loved the tool box. I wish that we were neighbors. I'm 70, but I could learn a lot from you. You seem like a guy that I could be friends with. Live long and prosper.
My guess is $500 for the box. Though not a Gerstner, it still looks to be good quality. Never seen one like that before with metal drawer bottoms. Don't worry about the Wuhan Flu. You are under 85 and not in a state run nursing home. You'll be fine!!
Yes
I always have a sadness going to one of those sales, not only because someone has passed away but the loss of all that accumulated experience and skill. I only hope the fella had a chance to pass some of on but I doubt it. As for a buyers premium, its an infection that has been adopted by every auction house in the UK and we still all go along like sheep and cough up, my local sale room is currently charging 24% !!!!! Stay well MrP, this virus is no laughing matter unfortunately, as a paramedic I've seen many people struck down and lost healthy colleagues too, so hopefully its not in your area, keep well and I look forward to seeing you on here again after your well deserved holiday
Yes, it saddens me also as I walk through his shop. And then I was really sad walking through that old house, he really lived in squalor.
Nice treasure, $525 was a nice buy . I would've done it as well.
Thanks
Haha! I guessed $1200 on the chest. I should have known beings the cheap son of a gun you are😅. Hope You made it to Hawaii and were glad to see you survived covid. Have you pulled the drawers and looked for makers mark on the bottoms or inside the case?
I was guessing $650-675 for that box, I would say you got a hell of a deal! I understand buying tools and boxes hoping to get a real gem! I do it too some times but I'm less then half your age. You don't need to explain your self about buy about the actions as I do it on ebay sometimes too. I was lucky and spent 12 years in the same school system but I loved when I got to middle school (grades 5-8) & high school (grades 9-12) because many teachers taught a multitude classes & grades. When I graduated in 2005 they were shutting down the metal shop/ wood shop & electronics the next year. Any how I'm I have a Starrett 0'-.500" depth mic in a leather case in great condition I can send to you for a video or just to keep let me know how to contact you if you see this.
Take care,
Ed

Weird. If you don't contract covid, you were just very lucky. You may contract covid and recover. I think the death rate is 10%. If you recover from covid, you'll be super lucky. It's difficult to understand why you stayed there in those conditions and exposed yourself like that. Good luck, Mr. Pete
Braggard.
Just kidding, nice box. In fact it’s beautiful, very tastefully done. I hope you don’t get sick, although it looks like you were trying, going to such an event during this time. It’s not “exaggerated”.
Awesome buy!! I love buying old machinist tool boxes full of tools when i find them cheap, bring home and start the treasure hunt! But zuzuki makes motorcycles and dirtbikes since the 70's i beleive
Sorry, Lyle that I'm behind - was really sick this week. I always enjoy tours of Kennedy and Gerstner tool boxes people have purchased at estate sales, auctions, or inherited. No one should be jealous. You have put in the years and the effort. You share the fun of exploring the box and the tools, and you certainly didn't have to do that - you did it to share with other people and we love you for it. Ignore the trolls. Any attention to them just encourages more poor behavior, and none of them know you well enough to merit your concern. Wishing you good health!
Thank you very much
Don't you need $200 for a round trip ticket? Thanks for what you have done for this community. Sorry we never got to meet while you were in Springfield Mo at Grizzly. I lived about 5 min. from the store and recall the video you made while visiting the store. Hang in there an keep enjoying what you love to do because I certainly have enjoyed you. I sure wish I had you as a teacher when I was in school. Stay cool!!!!
I just recently purchased a southbend 9a along with a mill. Came with a lot off tools and accessories. Some I have no idea what they are and could use help identifying them.
You guys ever notice that when he gets truly excited, he uses the word awesome. I lub it. :) Ps, at 14:09 in the video, the second "indicator accessory" you pick up.. I have a few of these from bulk lots, but I have no idea how to use them. Can you explain?
You know you machining. I will grant you that. You have been a great teacher in that regard. But you are somehow failing to grasp the seriousness of COVID19. You are not alone in this failure as shown by massive gatherings to protest injustice in which few if any are practicing any sort of Physical Distancing(PD).
CDC: 80,000 people died of flu last winter in U.S., highest death toll in 40 years
By Associated Press September 26, 2018
There is already 117K dead from COVID19 estimates are 200K by September. So look at it as 3 times more deadly than the flu if you want, but you only have to look at the growth rate graphs to see that that estimate is very low. In fact 200K is only the minimum that will die by Sept. if PD is practiced by a majority. Stay at home not just to protect yourself, but to protect your neighbors and loved ones.
You may very well be right. But I just cannot worry about such things
I suspect you may have a one of a kind tool box. It looks hand crafted & high quality. I think in would make a very good jewelry box.
Suzuki is a popular Japanese motorcycle manufacturer. They make fine machines.
I have a feeling that the chest was made by the fellow who filled it with treasure for you! Looking forward to seeing you again soon, well and full of P and V as usual!
Thanks
I figured 500 bucks. I btw have one of the 1-2" special micrometers I have had it for 40 years now and was used when I acquired it.
Give me the names of the people who are hard on you...I'll "look after them" for you! Lol!
If its Starrett and its full of tools...I'd say worth over 2,000.00 I'm a tool guy so yeah...let's find out 🤔
At 8.53 i have the same clamp but it's made buy S-K
Hope all is well with you mr pete
Stay well , Thankyou for sharing such a story and find...WOW . If you ever do decide to part with any of these old tools and or that Box I would certainly be interested and can assure a good home.
Dad had a maple or walnut Gerstner he got as an apprentice in the 70's. The one you have is missing the corner bumpers and double locks on the front.
the legs are worth a fortune on some of those old lathes, I made the coolest table out of one in my shop, I'll do it again when I can find some legs. If you run across that again let it be known IO would buy a plain ticket to go pick up some legs if they were good ones they bring a lot of money, eBay will give you an idea, old shop lights are worth a fortune also, I have all my machine lights oc white or equivelent . Yea I'm probably hobbyun more then anything But I make enough and its fun
How many winks to signal the $100 vacation money joke. If folks are listening and not watching, oh dear.
So much for that assurance quite some time ago that, was it 5 auctions ago, was going to be your last. I know, it was those lovely red boxes that were just too tempting.
That is truly truly my last one
@@mrpete222 😉
It breaks my heart to see a friend leave Sir, but everyone has a personal life to live. We shall all miss you.
Howdy! You mention you found the number W14 on a drawer. You sure it wasn't W41? The reason I ask is because Gerstner made a model W41 that looked a lot like that box. I'm wondering if some restored it at some point and neglected to reinstall the mirror after replacement of the felt. I've seen other W14's without handles on the side, so I'm not surprised about that.
Anything is possible. More on that in the next Vlog
@@mrpete222 Another tidbit for you. I also have a rare Gerstner model, it's an model o-62 Oak 13 drawer, and it has the same sheet metal bottoms as yours. That thing screams Gerstner!! Congratulations on another fine score.
How the hell do you find any of this? I can't find anything like this at auction in my neck of the woods in Washington state.
I really want one of those Barnes treadle lathes. I have wanted one since I saw it on the Woodwrights Shop on PBS 45 years ago.
what a beautiful find. wish I came across such quality tools as I’m about to start gunsmithing school.
Just by seeing the top of the box and knowing there's more inside I estimate it should have cost $800.00. I look forward to what you paid.
The chest is either a Gerstner, or an employee personal project. The overall construction and drawer joints are identical to Gerstner factory design. Good health to you sir! Hope to see you again.
Drawer sides are most likely poplar. Excellent wood for that purpose!
Thank You Lyle...No show on the ancient drafting tools ???....I love drafting tools...Don't forget your sun tan lotion and have FUN IN HAWAII....SEND ME THE DRAFTING TOOLS OR DROP OFF ON YOUR WAY TO HAWAII. Swing by San Francisco and visit the WW2 Liberty ship with its triple expansion steam running. WOW!!!........... PLEASE hang in there Lyle Peterson !!!!!!!!!!!....TM
I would like to see that ship. I’ve heard an off a lot of bad things about that city. I will show the drafting tools in another video. But they are not much don’t get your hopes up
replacement tips for automatic center punches in top left drawer in small plastic bag.
You are absolutely right, I just checked them out. And they fit that punch
Please Mr Pete do not leave us. I enjoy you very much. Watching the News and the Boob Tube is out of the question. Seeing you is like having an old friend stop by. I must admit that I do not know half of what Tools I am looking at but it is a lot of fun and instructional. It is always nice to see something well built and made to last. I am a firearms armorer and have a few Starrett tools. They are very impressive. Thanks as always for stopping by. Please drop by anytime you are in the neighborhood.
👍👍👍
I have a Gerstner that was made back in 1968 that has the sheet metal drawer bottoms. They are so much stronger than the Masonite bottoms.😀
The very idea that this stubborn _ _ _ _ _ _ _ of a teacher could be taken down by covid is hilarious, after all, auctions and tools await !
Ill bet the late owner of that tool box had it made or had a friend that was a woodworker that made it for him. I just get that kinda vibe from looking at it. lots of quality stuff in there for sure! Thanks for sharing!!!
Thanks
Mr. Pete you will be truly missed by thousands of people. Your the best shop teacher this old man ever had! God bless you!
Stop worrying. I will be making a major announcement in about two weeks
Paid a lot for that box until I saw the precision level on the bottom drawers.
Nice.
Because you said you wouldn't "Dewmore" auctions, I couldn't help but "Starrett" this video! LOL
What is better than a cuppa java and Mr Pete?
Another cuppa java and more Mr Pete!
I am praying to Jesus that you be protected from the virus. I am sure you will be fine.
Thanks 🙏
