- I inherited my grandfather’s machine shop. He was a hobby machinist and his machine shop consisted of several industrial machines including an engine lathe or manual lathe for metal turning, a vertical milling machine like a bridgeport mill or 3 axis mill with several mill machine bits, a surface grinder, and a metal cutting bandsaw. Also part of the machine shop was a drill press, belt sander, bench grinder, and a granite surface block, all tools essential for metalworking projects. A critical tool in moving machinery like this from the remote Kentucky holler where they were located to my personal machine shop was a drop deck trailer and a ton of heavy duty ratchet straps. Follow my journey of inheriting my grandfather’s machine shop and getting back to my metalworking roots.

Thanks for watching! With all these machines now in place I think it's time for a shop tour. Look out for the tour video on January 21st at 10AM Eastern. See you then!
I couldn't stop grinning watching this video! Thank you for that, I have been dreaming of a shop just like this. Hope it is all you dreamed of. 👍
@@cowdogg3085 It absolutely is! Thank you for watching!
Dude! Lines on the shop floor to mark out equipment placement. Man after my own heart. Also I've not seen anyone generate a proper hand drawing on a drafting table since 1989. Good on you.
I watched a couple videos before watching this one. I saw the Channel name, "Inheritance Machining" and thought, "Oh he must be focusing on making stuff he can pass down to his kids and grandkids." Then I watched this video. The intro made everything clear. You sir just got yourself a new subscriber.
Man, what a magnificent gift, something for your lifetime and maybe another's when you eventually shuffle off.
I am the grandfather now with my own small shop. I have watched your videos on relocating your inheritance tools to your new shop with great interest and envy. I like the tools you inherited, I envy your age and the year’s you’ll have making things while your grandfather looks down with great pride and pleasure. Thanks for sharing your trip.
Thank you so much! I hope you have someone to share your trade with. Not a lot of people do this sort of thing anymore so we have to keep the traditions alive!
@@InheritanceMachining it's definitely making a comeback thanks to people like you.
All of a sudden I'm in my 60's... and I'm working to be "the grandfather" too now.
My grandfather built himself a machineshop. And I mean that literally. He paid for a lathe and bench grinder which he used to hand create a cut-off saw, a milling machine(!), and a working scale replica of the Flying Scotsman steam loco. (Beautiful!)
As the only grandson to have followed along into his trade I probably would have inherited some of those machine tools, but were all sold to the scrap metal merchant. Pretty annoyed with my mother and aunts about that. Must have bought them each a really nice pair of shoes.
So I've spent my life slowly putting together an all Aussie machineshop for myself. Now I just need my lad to have me some grandchildren. Perhaps one of them will be additionally blessed with video editing skills, sadly not my forte.
@@lordchickenhawkhope that for you man
I myself just lost my grandfather this winter as well, and while not a machinist he was a gunsmith and hand loader of ammunition. I’ve been at a loss since as to what to do with the room of tools and parts no one but me could even recognize. Seeing this series gave me my answer -
Thank you.
Looking forward to following this journey with you. My Dad died when I was 12, I used to do woodworking with him. As an adult I returned to hobby woodworking, and still enjoy it 30 years later, thinking of my Dad every day.
I'm so sorry for your loss, but glad you found something to continue your memory of him. My family always says whey you lose a loved one, they are never fully gone as long as you remember and keep talking about them. Thanks for following along.
I saw you mentioned your wife was able to help you with the production quality and what not. Huge props to her, since I think starting an entire journey with this level of quality and attention to detail is insane, especially as you probably spend at least the next few decades using this shop. Looking forward to more videos!
Thank you. Yes she is a huge part of this channel. I thank her constantly and always share nice comments like yours with her. Thank you again!
@@InheritanceMachining Yes, Paige is a treasure for sure :D
What an incredible legacy: inherited passion, inherited skills, and inherited equipment. Can't wait to see what comes out of this reunion of all three!
Absolutely! There is much more to come
My grandpa's name was Norm. He was a machinist for the Navy during WW2 and then at IBM in the 50s and 60s. I was very young when he died, but his tools and the things he'd made always fascinated me, and ultimately played a major role in my interest in manual machining. I now have a home machine shop of my own, and my dad tells me my grandpa would be proud.
My dad was a fourth generation tool and die maker. He passed in 2020 and I’ve been going through a similar journey learning to use his tools. Thanks for sharing your journey.
Just retired and moved my entire machine shop, wood shop, tools, materials, cars, race car, parts. motorcycle project etc. 400 miles. Took 9 months, trip by trip in my race trailer so Brother I know your pain and happiness at getting it all shifted! Well done.
The vibe of this whole channel is so immaculate that I pretty regularly just watch every video from oldest to newest because it invokes so many positive feelings and emotions.
I stumbled on to your channel and I’m glad I did. I like how your Grandpa owned these pieces of machinery. His legacy will be carried on and that makes it wonderful.
Thank you! They are some big shoes to fill but I'll get there eventually.
Your grandfather had a huge shop! I bet you have many stories of your time spent there.
This brings me back when I was 8 years old and anytime I visited my grandfather I would go straight to his garage and play with his bench lathe,,, power off of course. Fast forward 42 years and after finishing my 20 year career in the Air Force as an aircraft electrician I still had a longing to learn how to use machine tools. So, I found a local machine shop and asked for a job. What an awesome experience. I primarily run a 50 x 9 knee mill but I also run a lathe, band saw, and all the other hand tools found in a machine shop. There’s nothing more valuable than knowing how to make stuff. Thanks for sharing your journey.
I love to hear that! Machining is not only useful but also really rewarding. Thanks for watching!
Shop looks good. Nice to see another engineer out there with their own machine shop. Keep making chips!
Thanks!
What a great story! You are very fortunate to have a Grandfather to teach you these skills. Thank you.
When I worked at MSU we had several students working in our shop while earning their engineering degree's. Some of them were involved in Formula SAE. I have a machine shop at home and some would come to my place when the machine shops on campus were too busy. Good times back in the day. Great video, Gramps would be proud!
That's awesome! FSAE teams typically need all the support they can get. Thanks for watching
I have just finished watching all of your videos with this being the last one. Your channel is quickly becoming my favorite among machining content. Please keep doing what you are doing. very enjoyable content.
I am in the process of building my personal machine shop and at the age of 31 I bought my own brand new mill and lathe. I have since acquired a surface grinder. Can't get enough of it.
Hopefully watching this one last cleared somethings up for you 😁 I really appreciate the support! Also welcome the world of machining. With that SG you can really start chasing zeros!
Are we allowed to drop tears here?
The videos are professional as well, they are a pleasure to watch.
I live in a city and dream to have my machine shop but the space is a big challenge in Milano.
So far I got a mini lathe and a crappie Mill with aluminum body in my father’s basement… they are far from your equipment but it’s still heaven to me to work with those small machines.
Thanks for your contents!
I just bought my first mill, and will be slowly filling out my shop in the coming years. You are an inspiration.
What a thought provoking intro! Really made me miss a lot of old people. My grandpa was a metalurgest and machinist for AMC and had a small home machine/chemistry setup in the basement. Growing up the neighbor was an irish machinist who had a full woodshop in the garage that he could work miracles in and fix anything. After highschool I spent a year in Germany on exchange and my host-father was a tool&die maker for Mont Blanc pens. He had soooo many of those lying around the house like most have BIC pens. He had parts mismatched from multi thousand $ MB limited ed., all kinds of cool stuff.
But the point was how important these skills are and how, used to be, you could find a full wood shop each block & a machinest within 3blocks or a chemist & all these people brought these abilities within common reach. Now, however, not so much. All though the lower cost and ubiquity of CNC or material printers allows a lot more people make things, there's a special aspect to being able to do something like that with a few very precise spinning machines. I think there was a big move away from this stuff in the 90's-'10ish as everybody ran towards technology. Unfortunately nowadays a full machine shop would almost need to be inherited for what it costs. I remember about 20 years ago my mother's cousin in Wisconsin died and he did some kind of machine handcraft but when we did a little walkthrough of his home to figure out what to do with his things, it was stunning! Besides all the OLD-oldschool upstairs furnishings, down in the basement was a HUGE machine shop with soooooooooo sooo so many steel tools!!! I mean everything, in multiples, old time construction THAT LASTED! Just a cursory look & i could see the worth, myself newly into woodworking & stunned @ tool costs 20years ago but still poor & in college. When i think of it now, cleaned up, at that time it could have been sold then for an easy $half mill and today easily $750 or even $1mil would not have been hard. Unfortunately everybody was a bit in shock and time-crunched plus almost everybody , although originally from there was now from out of state. Soooooooo, in the end it was let go. 😢 I think they sold it as a teardown b/c mold & all the tools all got scooped up by the salvage purchaser, who I'd heard was taken aback at his winfall discovery thinking he only bought a useless teardown for reclaim property costs......
😭
Ultimately though i just wanted to tell you that your intro made me feel nostalgic & ill be subscribing. Ultra cool 1 sided cube also!
i was very close to my grandpa, he was like my father to me, and though he didnt have a homeshop he also was a tool and die maker at Carrier.
he died very unexpectedly the yesr he retired and it took a deep and heavy toll on our family.
not a day goes by that i dont think about him, he passed when i was 12. im 55 now and a blacksmith who does a little machining and enjoys restoring equipment.
your channel hits a chord with me and i just wanted to say thank you so very much for sharing this part of your life with us. what youve been doing is a wonderful testament to the bond shared between grandfathers and their grandkids.
again thank you, from the bottom of my heart.
Shane.
I love the whole thing.
I am also an engineer and son of craftsmen, although not in metal. Both my brother and I love metalworking and when we make stuff it feels like our father and grandad are with us.
So enjoyed getting a peek into how you moved all of that! I can’t even imagine! Well done! Looking forward to see what you’re going to make in the future!
Thanks so much! I've got a few ideas :)
My grandad was an engineer for over 50 years, we will be spending this Christmas watching your journey with this ship. Thanks so much for sharing, it truly is a special story
The sheer problem solving of your channel is pure nerd-dopamine
Amazing job and such attention to detail. You obviously inherited more from your grandpa than just machinery. He taught you a lot and instilled a great appreciation for safety and the equipment you were working with. That’s an amazing legacy to pass on to a grandson.
You're right. There is so much more than the machines that I learned from him. He is a huge part of who I am today. Thanks for watching!
Your Grandfather knew that the contents of his shop needed to go to a good home . Thank's for sharing your story .
My pleasure. Thank you
This is very cool! This has a heartwarming vibe of you putting your grandpa's heritage to use
I'm new to your channel, and late to the comment section, but I finally had a chance to catch up on your older videos. This was simply superb, the story, the way you organized and moved everything and the way you captured it on video. Hard to believe this was your first UA-cam video. Thank you for sharing.
I appreciate you getting all the way back to this, man. The only reason this first video (and all of them really) is watchable is because of my wife's keen eye for editing and story telling!
Congrats on a successful move, thanks in part to your Gramps having the forthright to install the machines on casters, what a life saver. Look forward to seeing the shop come together and hopefully you will do your Gramps proud. Subbed and Cheers! John
This would have been a very different story if these machines didn't have casters... Thanks for watching and following along!
i get goosebumps from the very first time that electric guitar for the first time, uhhhhhh, such wonderful journey
what a story and what an honor that you are investing your time in these!
I can't thank you enough for bringing us along for this journey. Your Grandpa is always with you, and that's so evident in every video.
When my day goes to shinola, I can find my center watching a few (or more) of your videos.
Your voice is so calming, and I find myself relaxing, immersing into the project. Since you also have a unique sense of humor, there is never a dull moment.
I really appreciate that, Clyde. Thank you for the kind words as always
Wow. The first video. I’ve now nearly watched all the videos till mid April 24. What a beautiful story and journey. Over that time you’ve really learned a lot and made some incredible tools.
Excellent Video. I understand. I am now the age of a grandfather but never had kids. I spent my life as an engineer and machinist. In my journey down this path, I accumulated about 100,000 pounds of assorted machine tools. But my brother is what he is.... two years of legal fights against my parents estate has forced me to restart my life. Being forced to move all these machines and find a new home and shop. My life has been stressful and difficult during these two years. I have spent hours crating up tools and machines and moving them on a trailer to a storage option. Much more to go. But being a fully qualified tool and die machinist and engineer, you never forget the satisfaction of doing the high end work.
The opening of this video sent chills down my spine - my Father was a Boiler Maker and taught me
a few things before he passed away back in '78.
These days I work with wood but would love to get back into metal machining -
Thank you for continuing your Grandfathers legacy - kudos to you...
Thank you 🙏
Awesome video and I really love the project of using your grandpa tool, giving them a new life with still having his soul around. I do machining as a hobby, the fact that those old but well designed machines cross the ages is clearly what makes me felt in love of them. I always say my friend and family that my milling machine, drill press and lathe will be the only heritage that can be passed from a generation to the next one with a form of passion. I assume it is hard to let his workshop go, but you at least saved his tools/machine and that's beautifull. Can't wait to see more videos from your channel. Cheers from France.
Thank you, Matthieu. In a way his spirit is embedded in these machines. They have been dormant for many years so it brings me great joy to bring them and my grandfather back to life.
I have been watching your channel for some time now but never got around this exact video. I have to say, the feeling I got when seeing you in your shop was so relatable. That excitement and urge to start making resonated immensly with me. Enjoy the shop, enjoy the work and make sure to document it all!
Thanks for sharing that part of your life! And the history of the machines.
Love the story and am looking forward to watching the restoration videos.
My Dad had a great many hobbies through his life, metal machining was one that he started on after I moved out, so I never got a chance to explore it with him. He downsized his machinery from a South Bend lathe and a larger mill to some Sherline equipment which I inherited last year.
I'm spending quite a bit of time just learning how to use these basic tools, but definitely get that zen-like feeling of total concentration on what you're doing. Simultaneously makes me miss my dad and feel closer to him. An additional bonus is that some of the figuring things out I'm getting to do with my son-in-law (who is very clever and much better with the real world than I am).
Thanks for sharing your stories
Thank you! I'm glad you found your way into the hobby even if you didn't get to learn along with your father. There's still a connection there for you I'm sure. And now you get the chance to do with your son-in-law what you didn't with you father. Happy machining!
The UA-cam algorithm delivered..... Loving the videos. Loving the legacy
I love to see big trucks actually used for what they were made for! :D
The box of shame collaboration brought me to this channel, after I watched a 3rd video I knew I had to start from the beginning. The quality from the first video is amazing, and I love this concept and story all bring driven by your Grandfather. Thank you so much for sharing this with all of us, I can't wait to keep watching!
As an aspiring machinist myself, I find your careful reverence and respect for the trade and it's tools to be a beacon. I've actually come back to the begininning here with your first video and intend on watching everything you have to offer. My best wishes are with you on every project!
I watched a few of your videos was impressed so i went back to the start of your videos.
Great series. I started my working life as an apprentice fitter/machinist and love seeing finely made parts, tools and fixturing. Thanks for sharing your journey. Looking forward to more content on this channel
My condolences about your Grandfather. Beautiful video. Very touching.
Thank you. I appreciate that
Seeing your better half working alongside you, and probably offering encouragement, advice, and the occasional sarcastic humor.
This is a great way for your journey to begin.
What a wonderful gift from your grandfather. I'm sorry for your loss.
I'm just starting out on my own metalworking journey, even more junior than your ten year-old self - we basically did a semester of metalworking when I was studying electrical engineering a few decades ago. I have just recently bought my first metalworking lathe, am learning all about it, and hoping to have finished restoring it and be making chips by Christmas.
As 1 Machinist to Another I doff my hat to you. Your Grandfather gave you a skill that is so rewarding.I Am sorry I never will get the chance to meet him. The old TRUE TOOLMAKERS were..... Magicians! I know because like you I had one.. Hence how I became one too... but my skills are & never will be as good as them. I was forced to changeover to CNC. It is memorizing to see a real Genuine TOOLMAKER. Now go forth & make your Grandfather PROUD.
I thank you for taking the time to document the moving process so clearly for all of us to learn from, forever.
It's great that you 2 did this by yourself and should be a giant pride that you did it your way, carefully, and under both of your control.
Also Mega-Thanks to Grandparents for teaching you, and later initializing your families success in this century.
Bravo to you two!
Just starting to binge the channel. Quick tip on tow straps/chains. There is a lot of tension on them and they can snap unexpectedly and can cause some major injury. I'd recommend throwing a blanket or some kind of cover on the center of the chain or strap when they get real loaded up and you're working on them.
Great channel name and this really speaks to me. My father was a brilliant man when it came to machining and fabrication. When he passed I didn’t get to keep much of his tooling but have built my own home machine shop over the years.
Just found this channel like 30mins ago, now i will binge watch all the videos, I dont care I have work tomorrow....
I've watched every single video you've uploaded yet and the sheer amount of envy I have for you and your shop is staggering. Your grandfather would be incredibly proud to see what you've done to restore his old machines. Keep up the good work!
Thanks! I'm definitely fortunate but I won't take it for grated for a second.
Just found your channel and I'm so glad you chose to share your experiences and learning process! Your mellow and humble style is very much appreciated, keep up the good work!
Thank you very much! Welcome!
I'm so glad you decided to document all of this. As a man who loves machines and machining, but can't do the most basic of math. I'm glad someone is out there doing it and letting us see the results. Thanks.
Wooooo lets go for 50 years
My grandad, also John was a professional machinist, making huge industrial screws. I vaguely remember his place of work, but the smell of machined metal, coolant and oil is burnt into my memory. He taught me somethings, I recently realised, way too late how much more I could have learnt from him. I think he would love your videos, I do and I miss him. Thank you for making these videos.
I appreciate you sharing. Those smells are engrained in me as well. Thank you
What a cool video Brandon. Congratulations… you can keep your Grandfathers legacy going!
I certainly plan to! Thanks, Shawn!
Since your grandad was at Ford for 30+, you'll appreciate an experience I had in my mid 20's, in the early 1980's, when I partnered in a shop w/ an old friend.
I'd been building & drag racing cars since my teens, & he'd been building custom cars for a living for 20+ yrs.
Our shop had employees to do mechanics, body & glass, industrial sand blasting & we started an auto parts store. The only thing we didn't do in house was upholstery.
Our employees did the day to day work, & we had the shop & equipment to build street rods, race cars & antique auto restorations.
We did a lot w/ Model A's, & always had several in the shop, long term; ours & customers.
One day, a friend's 80+ yr old uncle came in to have some work done on his car.
Everyone was busy w/ customers, so I told him it'd be 5-10 min.
When I got to him, he was looking at my partners '29 A 4 dr sedan.
In a gruff & accusing voice, he said, "You got Briggs fenders 9n the front & Murray's on the back. That ain't right."
The average non-builder Model A owner didn't even know there were 2 types of A fenders, let alone being able to ID them. A lot of swap meet 'experts' didn't or couldn't, either!
Surprised, I admitted he was correct, but it was my partner's car, & getting it on the road & out of the shop was priority 1.
I asked how he knew so much, & did he or had he owned one.
"I spent 33 years making stamping dies for Ford. I made the dies for them fenders as my 1st job for Ford."
We adopted him that day as our uncle, & became close & much smarter about A's & mid '30's Fords in the next 8 yrs we had w/ him.
He was a blessing, as I'm sure you grandpa was to you.
GeoD
That is an amazing and fantastic story.
What an awesome story! He was probably the most knowledgeable guy in the world on those fenders. And sounds like a cool guy to know. Thanks for sharing!
@@InheritanceMachining
Glad I could share it. It was a high spot of many in my long azz life!
Impressed w/ your channel, approach & skills.
After 50+ years of construction & fab, I finally got my 1st lathe @ 64 & am remodeling a portion of my shop for a mill.
I've wanted learn machining since high school, but the opportunity never came along.
Never thought a pandemic, (Covid relief $) & cancer, (realized it might be my last chance), would facilitate & prompt me to do it.
Good luck on YT & w/ life. It may seem like a long time b4 you hit 70, but trust me, now that I'm about to, it only seems like a few months ago an old guy was giving grief a out the wrong A fenders.

@@georgedennison3338 Great advice. And glad you're getting to it later than never. Thanks for the support!
Been going back through this channel's history ever since I saw your work on cleaning up the workshop in a recent video, and I can't believe you started out with such amazing quality. What really stands out about this channel though, is just how warm and comfy everything feels. A lot of channels on youtube are content farming, noisy, and frankly tiring after long enough. It's entertaining, but there's always a format and that's exhausted me for a while. However, I always come back to these calmer videos of people working their trades; or crafting up props and board game stuff; or taking photos in the wild; or doing environmental work. I just feel like I'm relaxing again, like when I was a kid watching minecraft videos of people doing whatever in a let's play, instead of the insane challenge oriented mindset we've had for so long. Real happy I found your channel, and may your grandfather's passion live on.
Also, gahdamn the shop looks so different nowadays compared to before.
What an amazing gift and a blessing to be carrying on a legacy such as this! I love it, and enjoy your videos as well.
I absolutely love this channel. Thank you for all the effort that you put into this.
My pleasure. Thank you!
i just found this channel and its really inspiring to see. As i'm fighting non smokers stage 4 lung cancer this takes my mind off it for a little whiles. . .THANK YOU!!!
Well done with that drop deck trailer, that was a great idea. Also this is the best thing that could have happened with all those machine tools, they all went to someone who'll enjoy them instead of being scrapped or parted out.
Sorry for the loss of your grandpa. It’s so awesome you are putting his stuff to use. I have been slowly getting a shop going myself.
Much appreciated. I feel like this is the best way I can honor something he and I both loved.
That's awesome that you got to learn from your grandfather. I never got to learn from mine but such is life. Love the channel
I’m sorry for your loss, my mother died last month and my life has been absolutely devastated. God be with you
Your wife saying beautiful when you place the lathe is so wholesome. Respect that woman like you do your machines.
I respect above everything else actually
This encapsulates my growing love for machining perfectly. I'm still studying to get my degree, but in the very few projects I have made at my university machine shop, I have already fallen in love with metal working. Thank you for this video.
That’s awesome, man! Machining is a continuously rewarding hobby.
What a great channel, I have seen so many of your project and now I finally found the beginning. Great work with everything. I especially love how you value the small details.
I just found your channel and will say your one lucky guy! So glad you are keeping up with your grandads legacy. He is watching and proud of you!
May John rest in peace. I’m sorry for your loss. I’m glad that his tools and machines have found a new home in the family and I’m sure he’d be pretty pleased about it too. Iv only recently discovered your Chanel but from what Iv seen so far it’s going to be some great viewing.
Best of luck with your endeavours sir!

Thank you very much, Tom. Welcome!
It's nice to see that the shop was not torn apart in some garage sale but that you were able to preserve this as a legacy.
Looking at your other videos (I guess I have been binge watching all your videos since I discovered them last week like more of your viewers) I see these machines being well taken care of. I think you'll be thinking of your grandfather regularly when working in the shop.
When my father died, about 8 years ago, I was able to get most of his tools. He was a modeller, mostly working with wood and a little metal. I am working more with metal with some wood. I am still thinking of all the good times we had together figuring out which materials to use, how to make something and how to make certain things in (small) series when I am using these tools.
Emotional. Thank you for sharing.
That is an awesome inheritance! Sorry for your loss but I'm so glad you got the tools. I look forward to some great videos.
what a great inheritance. I used to watch my dad do bits of woodwork but he never let me join in. anyway, after many years in IT I'm now a woodworker... it's so much more satisfying than office work and all the BS that comes with that
I remember a guy on another YT vid saying "there are two kinds of job: one where you have a shower before you go to work, and one where you have one when when you come home. I prefer the latter"... as do I
I'm growing to be the latter as well. Thanks so much for watching
Love the story , my father taught me how to run mills and lathes from when I was little. I recently graduated with my BA in Industrial Management. Good luck with your adventures can not wait to see more videos
Glad to hear that! Thanks for the support
the epic beginning to an amazing adventure! your grandfather sounds like a coolass dude, i bet he was happy he had a grandson like you to hand-off his tools to. *respect*
thank you! He was a very interesting man indeed!
Dzięki :) sprytny patent z tymi platformami transportowymi
I recently inherited what's left of my grandfather's woodworking shop, sadly some pieces have already been take by relatives in the previous years, and much has been stolen by thieves, but there are still plenty of things leftover that I can use. Old tools work fine, especially if you know how to use them. The difference is I'm having to completely self-teach myself and it's been a journey for sure
Just came across your channel as a next up video - really enjoyed the two I have watched so far and I'm looking forward to watching the rest. Your grandfather left you some amazing equipment and fantastic that you are carrying on with the skills he taught you. He would be very proud, Awesome help from your partner - she really stepped up where many wouldn't have. Thanks for sharing your journey.
Welcome and thank you so much! I count myself extremely fortunate for not just the machines but for the time I had with him
This is amazing. What a great story, resurrection, full circle generational blessings and inheritance all in one! Thanks for the videos.
Thank you so much! My pleasure
This came up on my feed and I’m glad I watched. I feel emotional at how you must have felt emptying your grandfather’s workshop. I’m going to watch all your videos now.
Thanks and welcome. Yes it was a very weird feeling through the whole process.
I inherited my grandfathers on both side's tools. Nothing like a machine shop but instead mostly hand tools and the desk that one grandfather used for ~50 years to run his CPA firm. I cleaned and restored all the hand tools as best I could - remove rust, replace wooden handles, etc and they are an absolute JOY to use that reminds me of my grandfathers each time I use them. Not to mention they don't make hand tools quite like they did 50-60 years ago!. As for the desk, I'm using it now and work full time from it. Nothing like being connected to your ancestors. God speed to you and the mrs.
Awesome videos mate!! They have great attention to detail and are very clean ,well shot and easy to watch. Your grandfather would be extremely proud to see what you’ve done so far giving his machines a new life. Excited to watch your channel grow.
Thank you so much! I really appreciate the support!
I have now been following you for a few months. I have now only gotten to the history behind your shop and channel... and I was more heartwarming than I was expecting. But I am happy to finally watch it and I know I'll be watching and supporting for however long you'll do this
😊 Thank you very much!
Super cool, now that I’ve finally wandered back to the beginning I’m looking forward to everything going forward even more so.
And props to your wife for being willing to jump in feet first into your rather rabbit hole hobby.
congratulations man! im glad im this early in the journey, and look forward to getting caught up. i was anxiously waiting that there would be some big problem so im glad it went so smoothly!
Thank you! You must be used to my more recent videos 😂
@@InheritanceMachining this was my first. i look forward to the restorations of the big machines!
I can't imagine the final bill if one were to go out and buy everything you inherited brand new today. You are one very blessed man!
Stumbled on your channel today. I am setting up a "machine shop" at my company. I do a little woodworking at home but metal working tools are a whole different animal for me. My company does Industrial valve controls. Mostly composite material machining. But I need to learn so I have of course been using metals. I keep searching for videos to learn from and yours peaked my interest as I lost my Dad and Grandfather in the last 6-7 years. Grandpa was a welder and could make about anything. Dad did less of that but did build several houses and designed multiple products that are still manufactured today. So I will be binging your videos as I kind of can relate and hope to learn lots.
Thank you for showing this. So good to see a workshop continuing. If there is a next world, I expect your grandfather will be cracking a smile, to see his place going on.
It will be good to see your progress.
My pleasure. Thank you so much!
Great story and great channel 👍
Looking forward to following along. I grew up with my aerospace engineer Dad having a shop in the basement, and I have gone far beyond the tools he has, and I followed his path into engineering as well. It's so fun having the right tools to design something and make it with your own hands.
Thanks Keith! I can absolutely relate. It's one thing to design something. It's a whole other experience to actually make it.
Great video and an incredible project. Although not the extent of your grandfather’s, I inherited my dad’s tools many years ago. I followed similar steps as you by prepping the building for the new shop, laying out squares for each piece, and the monumental task of moving everything. The only thing I had not planned out was how I felt turning around that last time and seeing dad’s shop completely empty. I was excited to carry on the legacy, but there was an entire childhood of memories in that shop that couldn’t be relocated. All I could do is make more
Thats a great story. I wish i had a grandfather like yours. Never even met mine.
I'm so happy for you, and thank you for letting us share your happiness, this is so awesome!
Blessings and prayers from Sweden 🇸🇪
(Almost done with all videos) 😊
What a great intro to a channel, I got most of those machines that I have purchased over the years for my business of restoring cars/trucks, and got choked up thinking about when my 2 year old son will inherit my stuff, can’t wait to see more of this channel.
Thanks! I hope you are able to pass along your tools and especially your knowledge to your son.
I am so happy to find your channel. Top notch quality. Love and respect from Turkey.
You kept the case of yours grandfather alive. I think it's better way to show your respect and memory about your`s grandfather
