    Ed, you are just one of the most genuine people on this RUclips, hands down guaranteed. Everyday your comments bring a smile to my face and I heed every word you type in my friend. I don't know, it's people like you that got me into loving this hobby and have always brought me back to it. Keep up the AMAZING work man, because even if I don't have time to always leave a comment.... I'm still hitting that thumbs up button from my phone while I'm taking a short break or riding in the truck to the next broken thing that needs fixing.

      Thank you BareRose for watching and commenting.
      Your kind words are very much appreciated.
      I am humble by the kindness and acceptance to the community.
      I wish I had done this along time ago.
      Guys like you and I have so much to share and so little time left.
      I truly hope we can be a positive influence to other people.
      Especially to the ones that want to learn, young or old.
      I try to learn everyday, something new.
      I have been Blessed my whole life.
      I know other people can benefit with the things that people share.
      I truly am humbled.
      JustMoparJoe brought me into to fold.
      Without his insight I would just be on the outside looking in.
      Take care my friend, Ed.

      Sir, I've known Ed before he opened his own shop, he has done a lot of work for me, and he always tries to help customers understand what, and why things need to be done. He has been a great friend. I've seen him take in an engine that was messed up by another shop, and make it usable. I have seen him take a pure junk engine, no other shop would touch, and turn it into a great engine.

      Thank you for watching and commenting.
      I appreciate your kind words.
      I really enjoy your shorts.
      Getting to know you and what you're about.
      Driving the old Chevy, you're setting the standard for keeping it running a driving.
      You know a Chevy truck is a working man's truck.
      A dad going to work, to provide for his family.
      And needed a dependable truck/vehicle that would last and be economical to operate.
      But your showing people that you can still do that.
      Kinda cool when you think about it.
      I could give a 100 reasons to do what you're doing, but you probably know all the answers anyway.
      Keep up the good work Ary.

      I feel for the family businesses that are under attack, and feel they can no longer go on.
      One more attack on who we are as Americans and our way of life.
      We make things, we fix things.
      This is the American way, as it is in other areas in the world.

      It is a tough business to be in.
      Sadly it is dying.
      Automotive machinists are always under appreciated and under paid.
      But it is a good trade.
      I worked in Aerospace and should have got a college degree and been a engineer.
      Would have been more profitable.
      But I have had a good life, not complaining.
      Rewarding in many aspects.
      I am sad you did not get the chance that you deserved, I bet you would have been an excellent machinists.
      Come along with the videos and you could still do something.
      I will share what I know.

    To be great at any profession one must first care about doing the best possible job with what they have to work with. You have never wavered from that goal that was engrained in you early on. Many out there will sacrifice quality for increased production, take short cuts to increase profit 💵. You won’t do that, you always put “doing it right” at the forefront of each and every job that you do, even the small jobs. That is why you have so many repeat customers and you have engines out there that run better than they did when they were brand new plus some are 20-30 years old and still running good.
    When I started in HVAC I had a great mentor that took the time to share a lot of his knowledge with me. I still run into problems that I can now easily fix due to him teaching me.
    You’re a very good teacher and a mentor to many on here that watch your videos and listen to your expert advice, and especially for those that have had the opportunity to learn from you first hand in your shop. One mentioned to keep the little things coming because all those little things connect the dots. That is very true, especially for those that really need that information to grow in their personal experience.
    So keep up the good work and taking the time to share your machinist knowledge/experience that could be the equivalent of a very large Webster’s dictionary worth of knowledge…
    I’m proud of you!
    Your little brother,
    Chris

      Hey Sean, thanks for watching and commenting.
      You don't lose alot of weight.
      I wouldn't think anyway.
      Yes, we are on our way out.
      A whole different mindset exists now.
      But think about this, The carbon footprint of recycling a whole car. Making a new Electric car, and the invironmental impact and hazardous waste from that and what happens in a massive auto accident and the hazardous waste and invironmental impact of that.
      And the infrastructure required to charge the cars!
      Plus people having to purchase a new car. Financing creating a massive downward spiral into never ending debt!.
      The interest on a new car or truck will purchase alot of fuel for a car a truck that's paid for.
      Repair and maintain your ride.
      Be out of debt is my philosophy.
      "A borrower is a Slave to the Lender"!
