Good grief! Please keep on with What Is It! I just LOVE these videos!!! Also, ... there is a hard core group of your fans that really enjoy the stories of your anecdotes.. Please always, as long as you have health and strength, share these wonderful stories... Pay no attention to the YT analytics, but do pay attention to us.. we are your UA-cam family..
Mr. Pete.. You’re still the king of Utube in my eyes. 80, heck you’re still young at heart. Thank you for all the good years, looking forward to more.
Wow, thanks
Mr. Pete, it's not the quantity of viewers that watch your posts, it's the quality of the viewers that count. I think what your doing is great.
Thank you. And I do realize that my viewers are high-quality.
Lyle, You are NOT Failing - Thank You, For Keeping Tool History Alive. You Need Not Worry about Being Popular, Your Followers are Unique and Don't Throw in the Towel on this Series - Please Continue, Stay Safe...Thanks Again...
I agree completely. Please. don't give up on these "What is it?" and when I was a boy, anecdote videos. Your target audience may not be the entire Internet. but those of us that watch you. enjoy all of the videos that you put out.
I always love the “What Is It?” Videos. I’m sorry you’re once again announcing that you’re quitting them. They’re my favorites,
I enjoy the "what is it" stuff, especially as it gives a valuable insight into how things can be repaired, instead of today's "computer says no", throw it in the trash and buy new.
Can you imagine the H&S hoops you'd have to jump through nowadays to use that solder gimbal cup ? 😂😂
I'm getting old too, Mr. Pete.. I don't have time to watch all the videos of all the people I follow, but I always make time for "What is it?".
Do what you need to do for yourself, free of a guilty conscience; you've done plenty to pass on your knowledge.
Thank you very much
*I'm sad to learn your 'Mystery Tools' videos are going away. They're my favorites.*
I love the nostalgia that comes with your WHAT IS IT videos! please keep 'em coming! :)
Lyle, please don't trash talk uour own efforts. You are a treasure trove of knowledge and a wonderful raconteur that is a pleasure to listen to. These "What is it?" videos are a great springboard for your efforts. Us loyal fans appreciate your work on our behalf.
Wow, thank you
Mr Pete just wanted to let you know that we really enjoyed the what is it series and will truly miss it thank you for taking the many hours of your days for our extended education you are truly a great man thanks again
i just wanted you to know that i really enjoyed watching this series sir!
We always get some amusement ( & and an education) from your videos. Thanks & Greetings from Scotland
Love your anecdotes Mr Pete ,burning caterpillars off a walnut tree LOL
Well, Mr Pete....I have been watching your channel for about 6 years and I have to say that I really look forward to your "What is it" episodes. Most of the items are quite fascinating. Please keep them coming! No other You Tuber does anything like it. What you do is unique!
Wow, thank you
Same goes for me, Mr. Pete! I've always like your "What is it?" series-I always learn somethibg.
Yes,I love the what is it series.AL B.
@@mrpete222make it a Patron only thing. 😊 I see you have a paypal link in your bio. Maybe remind the folks.
I'm a fan of what is it. Some I can make a good guess, others I'm clueless.
Your comment about kids no longer doing things that do not involve a computer and the Internet rings true with me. Here in UK I was electrical soldering - with the kind of externally heated iron you showed on the blowtorch - before I was 10, and aged 11 was helping dad build a TV from a design in _Practical Television_ magazine.
Mind you, not all kids had the upbringing I did: when I went around friends' houses I could not understand why they didn't have bunsen burners, conical flasks, petri dishes, brilliant green agar, microscopes, and loads of chemical around the house like we did
Good story. Ours was the only house with tools in the shop. It became the gathering point for all of my friends. Everyone else’s house was a sterile. Father knows best house.
@@mrpete222 Well, now I am grown up (perhaps overgrown would be a better description) I have a house (actually, two adjacent joined houses - what we call "semi-detached" in UK) one of which is the machine shop with lathe and milling machine, plus my 1966 Norton 650SS, the other is the laboratory (with microscopes, high vacuum equipment, watch-repair equipment, electronics equipment &c &c) .
It's what every home should be.
If you were my neighbor I would have been at your house experimenting not at mine playing
I have access to a 1937 Woodworkers Tool Works catalog - the funny looking measuring device is for setting moulding cutters - instructions included.
Thank you very very much. You are the first one to come up with the answer. But it is now too late to explain it to the audience. 1937, that goes back along way.
@@mrpete222If you google "Molder Rule" vintage machinery has some pictures of one and some explanation
Mr. Pete…I’ve watched your videos for several years now but never commented…please keep showing those old tools as they are interesting…I’m 87 years old myself, done lots of machine work, restored old tools and machines and still keep on learning!…I’ve learned so much from your channel….keep up the great work!… I have a complete shop full of equipment myself and I’ll be sharing photos and history with you very soon.
Good to hear from you, thank you for commenting
I’m not a machinist, woodworker, or anything of the sort, but I find these “What Is It?” videos fascinating. There’s so much in this world I don’t know, and your channel allows me to glimpse a portion of it that would otherwise remain foreign to me. I appreciate the time and effort you put into these!
Thank you very very much
You are not failing sir. You are succeeding. Sharing your life experiences with this 54 yr. old solidifies my theory that the older you get, the more you realize the less you know. You are helping me stay ahead of that curve. My only critique would be stop worrying about being judged. You are very knowledgeable & have lived a life. Your stories are relevant in the sense they bring back memories to the older generations & are informative to the younger. Once a teacher, always a teacher. Keep up the good work.....
Thank you very much 👍👍👍
I have watched every one of these Watch Is It videos. I always learn something new. Please continue making them.
Meant What Is It.
I love the extra stories you bring to the conversation. Facts are good but you bring so much more to the table with the experiences of your life. Thank you Mr. Pete!
I appreciate that
I will never stop watching your videos. Thanks, Mr. Pete! Be blessed.
Thank you very much. God bless you.
Woodworkers Tool Works was started in 1907 by a fellow named Knourek. His great grandson Bobby Knourek is still at the helm of WTW and they sell ALL kinds of blades, cutters, tires, etc for woodworking machinery. He's a frequent poster on OWWM and offers free advice to anyone needing it.
I am 71 years old and I love your what is it videos. I have often wished you could dig through my shop and label my tools. I have a lot that I am not really sure of.
😄
I love this series. It keeps history alive. Every generation we lose so much. You probably have more important things to do, but thank you for documenting all these items and their context to life in those times. My grandmother knew people in the civil war, and yet we really don’t know what was going on in the 1860’s. History gets lost quickly. Especially tool history.
Thank you for your comment so true
I appreciate your efforts, Mr Pete. You were born to educate and communicate. Life's too short, you do you. ✌ 🇦🇺
Thank you
Mr Pete some of us always appreciate you knollege and wisdom that you share.
I will be watching your videos as long as you put them up. I don't care what the subject or length. I find you to be genuine and thats refreshing these days
Awesome, thank you!
Love ya Mr. Pete. Thanks for all of the interesting tools, the useful knowledge, and amazing stories.
I'm 83 years old and learn something new from each of your videos.
That's great!
Please Please Please keep the mystery tools going. I'm in Western Australia and some I know an others are a mystery. It's such a joy to learn what they are an do.👍👍👍
Perhaps, by popular command, I will continue it, but not quite as often
I'm your vintage and poured lead weights as well. Before I graduated from high school, my buddy and I built a 12' sailboat from plans we found in Popular Mechanics. We were so poor that we sewed the sail, and forged the fittings. Fortunately we had a full woodshop in my basement in which to work. Great times, and I still collect lead. . . Please keep up the series.
Sounds like we are cut from the same cloth
@@mrpete222Or brothers from another mother.
Mr Pete! Don't stop the mystery tools! While I admit I am one who watches mostly the answer videos, and enjoyed your long ago experiment of just showing and telling in a single video, I'll take them however I can get them. So many tools I've learned of from them; things I'd seen at barn sales and didn't quite know what they were, some that my dad or grandad had, some I have in my own junk bins -- and some I still use regularly -- that I wouldn't know what they were without your help.
It is absolutely not your failure if most young folks aren't interested in the wisdom and humor you pass on, it's theirs. Thinking about it, it makes sense that as we all get further and further from the past, fewer of us would be interested in how things were done once upon a time -- but the small group still listening to an 82-year-old's tales and anecdotes is critical if the knowledge is not to be lost.
With so many of the great shop teachers and instructors, scout leaders and other elders I grew with having long since passed, I've greatly enjoyed you filling their shoes on UA-cam for many years.
Thank you very very much for your insight and encouragement
Oh, dear don't get discouraged. I love learning from you. I've almost caught up age wise, and still learning this machining thing, that's what keeps us going.
I'm from Massachusetts and back in the day we used friction tape to wrap our hockey stick blades and make a knob at the other end to give us grip.
👍👍
This was my highlight....history and knowledge will be lost....Mr Pete your a icon. Don't stop what you do
Thank you for your encouragement, that means a lot to me
You are definitely not failing, sir. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and wisdom.
I appreciate that
Mr. Pete, you are definitely not failing I could watch a video of yours each and every day keep up the good work, don't stop?😊
Wow, thank you
Mr. Pete, I would be very sorry to see this series go away. I find it very entertaining. I also love your anecdotes series.
Thanks
Sad to see the end of my favorite series. Take care Mr. Pete. I will continue to watch your videos even if they are reruns. You're a true gem.
😄😄😄
Your comment about what you did at 9 years old reminded me of one of my many trips down into Baja California. Most of the roads are dirt roads. They are not bad roads generally except after a hurricane. I was driving on one of the dirt and I encountered a large road grader going the opposite direction. No room to pass so we got out to greet the driver. He jumps do own from the cab and we realized he's only a kid. He was only 14 years old but he had been working for the county road department for over a year. It was his job to grade all the dirt roads in his county.
Amazing
Although I’m a few years older than Mr Pete I only recognized one tool. When I was about 16 I watched a man use a gasoline blow torch to make galvanized gutters for our new home. The blow torch made a roaring sound and produced a very hot flame. When the heavy copper tip reached the right temperature he would flux the preformed joints, lay the hot tip on the surface and feed in the solder until it sizzled and bubbled and filled the joint. It was fascinating watching him solder the long lengths, end caps, and down spouts together with only basic tools. No electricity, just a trained man sitting on a low stool expertly soldering metal gutter parts together on a hot summer day.
👍👍 those were the days
I was 8 and 9, playing on the New York Central and Pennsylvania Railroads in Cleveland. Riding switch engines, jumping on an off slow trains, hanging out in the switching shanties at the Cuyahoga river bridge right next to the tracks as Steam locomotives passed by, close enough to touch them. No problem. Everyone looked out for everyone else. The railroaders knew me and I knew them. Can't do that any more. Thanks for the memory. Jon
You sound like my kind of man
Mr. Pete love watching your videos. You remind me so much of my late father, he was a tool and die maker outside of Chicago his entire life. Have a great day and look forward to your next video
👍👍
I always get a lot of enjoyment out of your videos. Thanks Mr. Pete!!!
Glad you like them!
Lyle - Keep these up. Even if I know some of the items I'm always learning something new from both you and the comments from viewers. You're never too old to keep instructing and we're never too old to learn. Have to keep these brain cells active.
Cool, thanks
I love this series, and at 65, I'm amazed at what I've never seen. And yes, I've been around 😀
Thanks, Mr Pete!
Glad you enjoy it!
Almost with the solder pots. My dad, who was both a telephone and power lineman starting in the 20s, told me that before Nicopress and such mechanical connectors, these were how they spliced hard drawn copper overhead lies, Of course they couldn't heat the wire because it would likely anneal it and cause failure, so they twisted in a western union spike and then poured the solder over the joints. He said it was really fun in a northwest Minnesota winter.
Thanks, sure gonna miss this series.
Fishing weights & leftovers from plumbers & telephone linemen & batteries were my sources.
Hey! I like this "OLD STUFF" all day and every day! I like the new stuff too.... the base of life with tools was built from the bottom up! but then, I'm about 17 years younger than you so I remember a lot of this stuff used still.
The cast iron solder pots.... I'd hang on to them. I've never seen one myself.
👍👍
Mr. Pete, I really enjoy the "What is it" and i absolutely love the "Anecdotes". Keep them coming.
More to come!
Mr Pete PLEASE keep the what is it? videos . They help keep the Gray Matter in tune. Fellow 80yr old Auction nut..........
Yes, we need to keep our minds active
Mr Pete, I don't watch as much as I have in the past, but I really enjoy the "What is it series".
Please keep up the what is it videos, they are a huge highlight of my Youtubing.
😄😄
I always enjoy the 'What Is It?' videos even when I don't have a clue what something does.
Mr Pete, Please don't give up on these videos. Those of us who enjoy them may not be a huge community. But we love these videos. I like these. What is it? Videos Because once in a while, i'll guess something that. a lot of the other people. can't figure out. I even enjoy the ones that stump me. The stories about when you and your brother were boys. Well, I don't know what to say about them, except, please keep making those videos.
👍👍👍
Mr. Pete, please continue with this and others of your series. Being not too far behind you in age, I like old tools and ingenious contraptions that people used to make and do "stuff". Anecdotes are the sprinkles on the cookies. Thank you for all the wonderful content over the years.
👍👍👍
Sorry to see the what is it series go .I really do learn from watching them. Your channel is one of the few I enjoy watching. Keep doing what you do as long as you can. Thanks, and can't wait until the next one.
I appreciate that!
Keep em coming mrpete. Many of us do watch all your videos. Sometimes more than once. I also enjoy your rants as I too am an old man and not very patient. I bought your SB lathe course a long time ago and still occasionally watch it. ATB regards from the UK
👍👍👍
Lyle, I am watching....thanks you for all you have done, Paul...
I always enjoy your “What is it” series! I’ve learned a lot from it, wish I had some of the goodies you have!
Take care and stay safe! God bless!✝️🙏🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Thank you! You too!
Please don't stop the What Is It series. I look forward to every one of them!
I recognize that lead pointer from high school! "This not a pencil! This is a lead holder! And that is not a pencil sharpener; it is a lead pointer!"
👍👍👍
I like most all of your videos no matter what the subject is. Always learn something. It is rare that I close one of your videos before getting to the end.
👍👍👍
Mr Pete found the Redbull again! LOL .. seriously, I always learn something new from your videos! My Dad had one of those lead sharpeners...he'd also had that powered K&E eraser tool, a drafting machine and a drafting table that had massive springs that raised/lowered the table by foot and other side was the desk, which he 'liberated' from his work when they moved to CAD/CAM.
👍👍👍
Always enjoy the What is it series.
Rant away.
Have a great day MrPete.
I am interested and watch these regularly, hope you continue
I've been watching this series for as long as I can remember watching You Tube. I've thoroughly enjoyed it and I'll be sad to see it go. I'm subscribed to so many channels these days I rely on You Tube putting up videos into my subscriber feed to let me know a new video is out but recently over the last 6 months or more they have only been putting pt b into my subscriber feed. I could manually check for part a but there's more content on You Tube than I have time to watch so I'm afraid I just end up watching pt b because watching pt a then pt b imeadeately after is just not the same. Thanks for all the fun What Is It videos Mr P, they will be missed for sure.
Thank you for watching
Well Mr Pete I think your videos are great!!! Keep it up thanks for spending the time to produce these awesome videos for all of us to watch ,learn and enjoy
Glad you like them!
Mr. Pete. I cast lead using my Dad's gas burner with a ladel in his basement workshop when was 7 years old in 1966. There was little concern of me doing this unsupervised! I was amazed that not only other boys in second grade did not do this, but did not even know what lead was.
👍👍👍👍👍👍
Talk about pouring lead. We were young adults and a friend wanted to cast or recast some wheel weights for a garden tractor. I don’t remember what we used to heat it but we had maybe 50 pounds of lead in an old cast iron pot. It took two of us to carry it. We were carrying it with a pipe thru the wire handle when the handle broke or the end straightened out and lead went all over the ground. We were very very lucky that no one had any serious burns!
Wow
I like your videos, Mr Pete. I don't always comment but I find real value in your expertise and knowledge . I hope you can keep them coming
I appreciate that
What a finish to this episode! What little Henry is really interested in. I’m still laughing.
Your page is the best. Keep up the great vids !
As a birthday gift, I bought myself a pantograph this year. Manual tool for shrinking and enlarging drawings.... Back to the drawing board!
I bought a very cheap wooden pantograph at the bookstore when I was in college, it was made by Post
Thanks for the number 5 explanation. New tool to me.
I really love your video about all this old stuff, if i ever find some strange item for cheap, with each video i have just a bit more chance to know what it is. Awesome stuff tbh. Your channel is great! I love watchin this every once in a while, and im only 23! Please keep doing this sorta stuff i really enjoy it a lot
Thank you for watching. Now I know I have at least one viewer under the age of 70, lol.
I always enjoy these What Is It episodes. I would love to hear about your 5 day raft adventure. No tool content is welcome talking about the things you (and many of us of about your age) used to do / get away with. We are creating future generations that won't be able to do anything, unless it can ordered on-line, made in China, unrepairable, and destined for the land fill.
I agree, you said it all
I too will miss the "what is it" series
I love these videos. Thank you for posting!
Lyle, I really enjoy your videos. The anecdotes remind me of my youth. BTW I'm only 74. Dennis
That's awesome
Not all of us are burnt out on these videos
When my dad and his twin brother were eight they had a small row boat with a 2 or 3 hp outboard motor that they would sail around on the Norwalk river. They would also ride their bikes from Norwalk up to Georgetown to see their grandparents.
Awesome
Im interested Mr. Pete. Sad to hear the views are not holding up. Will look forward to seeing your other content.
I have one of those #4 things, I always wondered what it was for, mine doesnt have any tips but now you mention it Ive seen valves with slots, motor mower engines I recall
No failure at all, please don't scrap any of your magnificent videos mate. If anyone does not watch them that is their tough toenails and subsequent loss.
👍👍👍
Thanks Mr. Pete, enjoy these videos.
Glad you like them!
Hi Mr Pete asfar as wire joints go a lot of people use wire nuts wrong . Wire nuts are only used to keep a twisted wire joint together and isolate the wire joint . you are supposed to twist the wires together and then install the wire nut . the joint should be a mechanical joint without the nut holding it together . Your soldered joint is an excellent example. I saw this on a youtube video .Thanks JM
👍👍👍
I would love to see some more casting and machining videos!
“What is it?” is my favorite series of your videos I am bummed out to hear that you plan on canceling these. 😢
Thank you for doing them.
dont stop the anakdote series mrpete, i really like them !
cheers
ben
Love the stories Mr.Pete! Btw I had one of those sand paper sharpeners in high school / junior college as a drafting student. 😂
You do what works for you. If you keep making them, I'll keep watching. I look forward to these and when I get busy and miss an episode, I usually go back to find them (like I did with this one). If it wasn't technically difficult, perhaps you could have people send you things with a recording of the tool in use or describing the function, if known. I can certainly understand if you decide to stop producing the series. I'm grateful for all of them that you've done in the past! I, for one, don't tire of your "complaining" and rants. I think most of us share your frustration with how things work today.
Thank you very much
Also honnestly dont worry about the views, even if only 10 people where watching this imagine 10 people sittin with ya enjoying learning some new things, honnestly for this kind of channel you have really good views and pretty good statistics overall, all in all its clear have a solid foundation of viewers who watch and enjoy your content and im sure they will stay for whatevet you want to do for many more years to come!
Really its amazing you get even more then 1000 views on each video, imagine 1000 people outside your garage looking at the awesome knowledge you have to give out, so many people have already been affected by what you do in some small way, please keep doing what you do man! Its really a little special place on youtube, such a rare unique channel as yours is not something that can ever be truly replaced.
Your awesome man, dont underestimate the impact you have on people's lives, no matter how small or big it might be for anyone watching.
Thank you very very very much for this comment. It is very encouraging to me, and I think you are correct.
@mrpete222 thanks for the reply mr pete. Im glad you found some value in words. I hope you enjoy this little channel of yours for a long time to come, im glad that i get to see it.
I for one am quite interested in the your rafting adventures.
I love your "What Is It" series. I really look forward to new episodes and almost always learn something new. Don't understand why the viewership is falling lower??
😄😄
Nice video! Looking forward to the raft and the garage sale videos! All the best…. Chuck
Thanks, Chuck
Think about the vast video library you have, and continue to build, leaving such a legacy and treasure chest for your great-great grandchildren!
Wow, thank you
Just subscribed look like great content I'll be watching your videos old and new love old tool and techniques😊
Thank you for joining me
👍👍😄
I've always enjoyed these videos.
