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 🙏
👍👍👍👍
Fantastic place...A real "Toys R Us" for old machinists!!!!!!! Thanks Lyle...
Yes there were some items there that made my mouth water
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
lol
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.
Looks like Lost Creek Machine has almost as much stuff as you do Mr. Pete. Thanks for the tour. I wish they were closer.
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 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!
Well said!
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.
Thank you Lyle, in laying back in bed here in Western Australia at 10pm living vicariously through your eyes wishing I could afford the shipping and handling to get them here, oh well one Powerball (lotto ticket win) it would be nice
Thankyou once again for a wonderful video
Tony from Western Australia 🇦🇺
You are very welcome
Loved this video, enjoyed every minute of it. I could spend several hours in there looking and buying tools. I saw several items that I can use in your video I'm going to their website and checking them out! Thanks Mr Pete, keep up the great work!!!
What an amazing inventory. Thanks for sharing,I really enjoyed it
Thanks for the tour Lyle. I could spend some money at that place for sure if they were close to me.
What a great selection of small and large tools I'm surprised that a Warner & Swazey was not pictured. We have one last Mom & Pop machine tool business in San Diego and i try to use them exclusively. Great job on the photo tour.
Thank you, Roger
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+
A cooling box for hot steel?… Awesome place, Thanks for the recommendation and tour Mr Pete.
Man Mr.Pete, that tour made my mouth water.
Regards,
Duck
Fantastic place. Also more metal signs on their building than I have ever seen.
Because of your videos, Mr. Pete, I've bought a couple different items from Lost Creek. They are very nice guys and I am very happy with the business they do. I live in Ohio and hope to visit their place this summer.
👍👍
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
👍👍👍
Loved seeing all the equipment and accessories.
Thanks for the tour MrPete.
Great Video , working in that shop would be an education money can't buy, such a cool place, all the best from Ireland !!
😄😄
Well I see you had a fun day. Glad to see you getting out. I was having fun with you wanting many things. Thank you for taking the time to bring us along. God bless.
Great tour MrPete, wish I had known about that Clausing lathe before it sold, I might have been tempted! I could spend the whole day there, as well as my bank account.
Damn near went dehydrated from drooling!! Great video keep it up Mr. Pete, LOVE your work!
😄😄
Thanks for the tour. I really like the mini lathe and the mini mill.
Hey Mr Pete...that Rotex milling machine looks like it is a vertical and horizontal mill...pretty interesting. They have something for everyone. Great video sir!!
Hi Mr Pete, what a great shame that some of that will likely never see a good home. No doubt there are many more similar collections around and about. Keep safe.
Good morning Mr Pete. Great video. I know the guys at lost Creek very well.
😄
As I have watched your video, I've said "I want one of those" so many times I have far exceeded my bank account. I just have to stop watching this type of video. Thanks non-the less for the fine video
😄
Fantastic tour I did not realize they had all that inventory. I'm on their email list and every time i see something of interest it says Sold on it. Thanks for the video.
Thanks for sharing Mr.Pete.
This is a nice find.
Have a great day Sir.
Great tour of their business, wish I had something like that within a reasonable drive.
This is a fantastic inventory. The old machinist/tool &die in me was filled with great memories. Thank you for taking me on the tour.
👍👍👍👍👍👍
I've been buying from Lost Creek for a few years. They always answer the phone and are very nice and helpful.
Totally agree!
Great tour! I wish I lived closer, and glad I don't (I'd be there all the time!)
Great video, Mr. Pete. I live 2 hours North and will definitely visit. Thanks for sharing.
Have fun!
Great people to deal with at Lost Creek ! They have always treated me great.
😄😄
Like a kid in a candy store, you had me drooling
Enjoyed the walk around. lots of nice tooling there.
THANK you Mr.Pete
Thanks for the tour! Some day I will have to make a road trip to check out what I can't do with out.
Great job. Thank you 😊
I was kid once and the Lone Ranger was the man ... then
cut to commercial Lone Ranger doing commercials for airplanes or lavish vacations . Mr. Pete I couldn't afford it then and I cant afford it now love ya
I always thought I would be rich by the time I was 80 years old.
WRONG!!!!
Nice tour Mr. Pete. I am relieved that if there was any woodworking machines you did not include them in the tour. I'd hate to see something that I don't need but I would want.
Thank you thank you thank you!!!! That was fantastic. Enjoyed every second of it.
Thank you Mr Pete, that was great!
Another great video. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you very much.
These. Boys have got some inventory, thanks for the tour 🤗😎🤗😎
Thanks for sharing Mr Pete. Would like to see in person one day.
Great video, Mr Pete.
NICE. Thank you much.
Great field trip Mr Pete!! 🖖
You made my Sunday morning! Great job on the camera, thank you for bringing me along. My best to you.
Glad you enjoyed it
Overwhelming,mrpete.Thank you.
Awesome shop . Thanks for the tour . I want a bridgeport mill,
Thanks Mr.Pete
I really need to get over there and check the place out. So close to me and i did not know about it
Enjoyed the tour. Thanks
Glad you enjoyed it
Lyle, thanks for going back to that Unimat at the end. Some rather interesting engineering someone did on the lift mechanism. Probably makes it a bit more rigid as well. Thanks for the tour!
👍👍
Very cool, wish i could see it in person. Thanks
Thank you for the tag along !
Wow I wish there was a store like that close to me.
That little Unimat got me going to their website. Thanks Mr Pete!
Thank you. It looks like a wonderful place.
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!
I reckon I could spend a day looking around that place! if only I had the room, the time left and of course the money! Great tour, I bet the car was a bit heavier on the way home! cheers, Dave.
You evil man, you! Now I’ll have to go there and spend my money 😮
Thanks Mr. Pete!
Fun vid. I wish I knew what you were thinking about when you saw the machines or features. Must be lots of little nuggets in there.
Thanks Mr. Pete. I lived a stones throw from there for 18 years and never knew that was in there. duh......................
And now I live a stones throw from you! Small small world.
If I was about 1200 km closer I'd swing by and check them out. The website and your videos will have to do instead. Thank you for posting this.
Being a mr fixit I sure liked looking at all the good stuff!
Made me think of buying a machine shop someday when the wife isn't looking!
Yes
enjoyed thank you
Too many "I wants". Glad they are a long distance from me, or I'd be there once a week buying something!
You flew by several things that caught me interests. I know it takes time to video. Regardless, I was glued to the screen the entire video! Thanks for sharing, Ken
Good morning Mr Pete
I'd love to see a video of their process for moving out a Bridgeport from the middle of the room!
Thanks again
Thank You Mr Pete. Wish it was nearby!
Enjoyed the video, great work.
I bought a lathe machine from lost creek last year great people to deal with!
That is awesome!
Brian from Ma. what a great video I had to hold my head up, perfectly straight as to not salivate out the side of my mouth. lol Thanks Besafe
lol

Thanks Lyle, now my Clothes are all wet from drooling. HAHAHAHAHA

I was a machinist for 26 years before retiring & dearly miss the smell of cutting fluids & Soluble Oil.
Brings back a lot of memories.I worked in the machine shop at Andrew Corporation in Orland Pk. Il.
👍👍
Lordy, lordy what a huge assembly of machinery.
Thank you, Nice video as usual. Why is the ground white? It's 59F in global warmed Phoenix. Going to be 76F on Monday😅
