It never ceases to amaze me how much work you put into your restorations, you obviously have a great deal of skill and knowledge and a love of what you do - your sense of humour makes your restorations and rescues particularly entertaining. I am aware other rescue channels are available, I accidentally clicked on one the other day and felt like I was cheating on you. Your videos are great and I don’t think I can be alone in appreciating how much work goes into them too. Be well, stay safe and thank you.

Old machines always are cool. That thing took some major casting.

That is an impressive looking machine. I was kinda worried when you had your face right next the that spring during the disassembly but figured if you were posting the video it didn't spring out and kill you. :-)

I've been waiting for another vid :D thx! loved your DIRESTA cameo when he was working on the canoe :p

Still can't figure out who would dislike these videos.

Not entirely sure why I find these so mesmerizing - after a long day of programming I seem to like nothing more than turning off the sound and watching these like a calming screen saver...

sawdust was put into those old machines a lot of times for many reasons, it helped seal grease leaks, provided lubrication, tighten up worn shafts and clean out dirt and debris which helped it equipment like that run smoother. I worked for many years in an old saw mill where many old gear boxes with worn seals kept going packed with saw dust, grease and pure hope..

your videos are like Zen relaxation to me.. this one was worth like an hour of meditation
