    Nothing looked more natural than Steve standing next to that anvil. Heavy metal. My grandpa worked in some kind of a machine shop. Wish I knew more about it now. He used to come home pretty beat up. Worked your butt off just to keep food on the table and a place to stay. Not much left over for anything else.

    Really enjoyed this one, hadn’t ever seen it on here before. Still can’t get over the size of the moldboard hangin on the side of the plow engine. It actually reminds me of the adjustable moldboard on the road wideners I used to get called out of the hall to work on and run. Great video

    These are the vids I like. Very much looking forward to more of these. Me and my dad would go out to old mining claims and rail yards when I was a kid. Just me and him every spring and fall. I was at that one you just filmed at about 40 years ago. I'm digging up old pics now as I'm writing this. It was back in the 70s. He has passed about 25 years ago. A lot of cool history at those locations

    Darnell, you nailed that one for thinking outside the box. Looking at the safety first sign and thinking to myself before you even showed it in the background, where is the sign that said "X" number days with out a accident. That anvil with its tool holder peg needed some of the tools that fit it there where you could grab them and shape the steel your working with into a piece ready for the hammer press and how many fingers and thumbs laid on the ground when some guy with a two day hangover missed and took a guys hand off. All those tools hanging that blacksmith knew just exactly what they were for. I could smell the creosote in those ties thinking "what were they thinking" health be damned. I wanted to mention to you that up to date videos coming from canada middle ground clear across canada they must not do re bar there as the old cars, trucks, coe's, mobile homes and motor homes in the wrecking yards with lots of good metal left in them, not frame up restores but rigs that could be massaged to life again. I seen this one place up there for sale with enough on the front row to pay for the whole place. Barron dessalett (way out of anywhere)place where there was newer stuff with cummins engines and other stuff just setting cause it broke down and got towed including some bad ass tow rigs all there for the low price of (they don't tell you) in the Alberta area and on one of the main highways but no one really working. Even a nice shop (decent I would rate it) with tool boxes and shit everywhere. Like a rich man spent it all there and didn't have a clue or just lost interest in my perfect place to die welding up or what ever. Turn key I figure. Shame to see it all turn to shit if someone doesn't save it. You could be in two countries doing what you love collecting stuff that will disappear. Even better is the fact that they did see one thing good, All fords in one spot, all chevys one spot, all cryslers in one and motor homes in one spot and not bunched together. Plenty of room to grow, large trucks too. If I were younger, I would be on it like flies on shit. I have seen enough videos to tell that they are not scraping cause it costs too much to truck the steel. Hope that you look into it... even old time gas pumps... you name it and its there. Best a luck Steve and doen't inhale the gas, exhale it or the brain man
