  Next restoration: just a handful of rust flakes that will become an entire locomotive.

  Anyone else find this channel completely soothing while drifting off to sleep?

  I kept waiting for “this asbestos probably contains asbestos.”

  Gratuitous camera cuts for "The Walk" to the blasting cabinet is Oscar worthy.

  I love how machine-tool noises are captioned as <music> and torch noises as <applause>.  Couldn't be more correct!

  I take my hat off to you machinist guys, restoring these ancient machines.<br>To remake worn or broken parts,<br>to know where parts (and especially nuts and bolts) go, when reassembling ,<br>to know how the thing works,<br>and to produce a super good looking and working new machine <br>is something I find oddly satisfying

  I have your wrench in the three sizes and I use them all the time the little one is a constant companion in my back pocket. I love watching you do this stuff because the town my dad lives in his got machines like this all over the place and I often think about restoring something for my own use and my own shop and this gives me hope and also inspiration to see how some of this stuff goes together

  Great job on the Babbitt pours! &nbsp; Love the acetylene soot as releasing agent. &nbsp;I haven&apos;t done that in going on 55 years. &nbsp;Thanks for posting! 😃

  One day, he&apos;s going to pull out something that we weren&apos;t meant to see from that vat of rust remover, like the head of the long lost 5th teletubby. Mark my words. Mark them I say!

  Considering it was found in a river, those nuts and bolts play along surprisingly well. Also, that chocolate wrench in the beginning totally got me :-p

  The journey to the sandblaster was epic.
