    I am a long time customer of Lost Creek. Matt and Jason are awesome to work with. They helped me build my shop on a budget. Thanks Mr. Pete for doing this video.

    Well I made a real mess out of myself watching this one Mr Pete.. crying, drooling, rubbernecking..
    had to punch the address in on the GPS to. Looks like a 3-1/2 hour drive from my house. That’s certainly doable !
    Surface grinder, tool cutter grinder, dividing head parts, milling machine tooling all stuff I desperately need/want just sitting there waiting for me ! Yes Mr Pete, really truly enjoyed watching this one. Couldn’t take my eyes off the screen. So neat. And I’m humbled by the fact that they are saving all this great tooling and equipment from the scrapers! I’ll be checking in with lost creek machine before my next purchase for sure. And I’ll be sure to tell them Mr Pete sent me.
    Thank you sir 🙏

    WOW! You are so lucky to have a place like that nearby. It appears if you need it, they have it or it can't be found. Thanks for sharing Lost Creek.

    Thank you Mr Pete. I enjoyed every minute of that. If I had surplus money, I would be out your way doing a little shopping.

    The item you asked if anyone knew what it was with the triangle shape stones? A vibratory de-burring machine. Affectionately known, where I used to work, as a “gravel girty ”. We had them all over the shop. Great tour. Amazing how everything is so well organized.

    I loved your tour of Lost Creek's warehouse. Some of those would have gone with me. If I only had a place to put them.
    Thnx Mr.Pete.

    A great way to wake up! With Mr. Pete and a whole warehouse full of tools and machinery! My only problem is that the video was too short. LoL

    Incredible, I feel like you can smell the oil from the machines. I wonder how many shops like this are left. Just Amazing machines. Thanks again MR PETE. HOPE YOU AND YOUR FAMILY ARE WELL. A+

    I enjoyed this infomercial. I'm grateful to both Lost Creek Machine and you, Lyle for this work. Part of me reflects that we are looking at a past that is vanishing. Oh, don't get me wrong, there will always be machinists, but they'll be working on additive equipment instead of subtracting. Ah ... at least there will be less swarf. Thank Lyle. But if you go to another estate auction and buy more crap, I swear I'll get to Streator and make you return ALL of it!

    Hi Mr Pete . I fell asleep with you tube on around 12:30 last night and i woke around 3:00 AM and watched a short video and after it was this Lost Creek and i started watching it. Man you are lucky to live close to Lost Kreek sales i would be in there a couple times a month like when the dollar pick your part junk yards opened . I paid my dollar every weekend and walked around looking at new trucks and cars that came in . Great video Thanks for having us along . JM

    That was fun! DARN! I wish that I lived near such a place. NH is a waste land for such stuff. The last place like it went belly up about 1-1/2 years ago. They were tossing Bridgeports and other stuff into the dumpsters. I would have grabbed one but we had no way to move it or store it. It was a bad time for us and only marginally better now. Thank you for sharing with us sir!
