Their look was priceless when you gave them a quarter. I’m 63, 50 years ago my brother and I got 50 cents a week allowance. We realized our Dad was being a cheap skate, so we told him to keep the change, we weren’t cutting the grass and washing the cars anymore. He was furious, but he sure as he’ll wasn’t gonna mow our hilly yard.; and finally broke down and hired a yard man. Dad never found out Mom started paying each of us $2.00 a week allowance. How I wish I could see all three of them, just once more. Let me add. I was cutting 4 neighbor's lawns at $5.00 each. I didn't check the oil in it while doing Dr. Brown's yard. Mower threw the rod. Mom drove me to Sears, I bought the parts and repaired it. It started on the first pull when I was done. I was 14. 4 years later, that mower came with us to Florida when I was 18. Dad finally blew it up, somehow., several years later. He wasn't very mechanically inclined.
Always nice to have help when needed. My shop is also in the basement, however, our house is a walkout with a 1 car garage door. We also had floor trusses not floor joists so the whole basement was one room no poles. Years later it was divided into 2 rooms. Shop on one side with the garage door. Model railroad on the other. Best part is it never gets below 55 even though it could be below o degrees outside and in the summer is cool. Have a Jesus filled day everyone Greg in Michigan
Yep, I totally understand. I also have a Grandson like Jordan. I think if I could fasten a handle on the side of the house, he'd pick it up! Good video, it's great to have son-in-laws also.
I enjoyed the edutainment video once again. You are lucky to have such nice guys to help. When i was 14 I worked for Weingartens grocery and you could get a grilled cheese sandwich at the snack bar for a quarter. When I worked I ate grilled cheese. I came by every week for six months and asked the manager for a job and he finally gave in. He must have been a nice guy because I was legally too young to hire.
Our first grandchild-- and it's a BOY-- is due in January! For most of my adult life I've been surrounded by women. Finally I will have a playmate! But I was lucky to have BOTH my grandfathers until I was in my late 20s. Mr. Pete has showed you pictures of one of them who was a master machinist. Hooray for grandsons (and grand-daughters too)!
Mr. Pete, you're a genius. Not sure why I waited this long to get myself an Opti-visor, but it came today and I had to say thank you for the sound advice. I have used it for maybe 5 minutes so far and already wonder how I ever got along without it.
There was a Dairy Queen midway through my paper route back in the early 60's. I'd pull my bicycle over and buy a plain small soft serve ice cream cone for 5 cents.
Lucky for me, we had lots of litter bugs. I would find pop bottles on the roadside and turn them in at the A&P for the penny deposit. Always had money for ice cream.
In OZ in the 50s, went rabbiting for pocket money. Did well out of until Myxomatosis wiped them out, well, almost. The number was in the billions. Hills were seen to move, but just the rabbits on them.
A good item to have around is a skate board. I have a large one that my son broke his arm on. The board can carry a lot of weight and are easy to steer since the axles rotate with weight shift. I just purchased a horizontal bandsaw. Put the heavy end on the board. Picked up the "light" end an rolled into the garage. Us old guys have all the fun. Class of 62
👍Awesome to have help! Glad you got it where you needed it. I hope to have a grandson one day before I'm too old to enjoy him. The .25¢ tip was stellar! 😂
Thanks for the video Mr. Pete, luckily we have bilco doors and a tractor with a loader. Otherwise we would have to do it the same way, normally costs me lighting the grill to pay the help though.
I use a 2 wheel hand cart to move heavy items around my place. Doesn't work for everything but it does work well in quite a few situations. Sometimes I use straps to help hold things in place. Works pretty well when you don't have help.
can appreciate the hired help for the bull work. love the looks on their faces when you gave them 4 bits and asked for change lol...buddy of mine, also a fellow old school machinist actually dug a hole next to his basement and built an elevator next to it to get machinery into the basement. yes, you read that right. a freight elevator. big enough for a car. designed and built himself. doesn't live there anymore but I drive by and still think of that thing. from the outside it looks like an ordinary car port or lean-to. until you open the door...the guy could build anything.
I have a friend in Bloomington, that remove the entire stairs and installed a homemade elevator big enough to hold a large coffin. That’s how he got his mini mini woodworking machines into the basement
I added ramps to my stairs down the basement. They straddle both sides, and the middle is for normal stair walking. I picked up a horror fright AC winch and made 2 L brackets that brace against the doorway (after door is removed) to lower and raise stuff on a dolly, made of 2x6"s with 500lb a piece 5 inch wheels. I'll tell you, it makes life much easier. I built a wooden gantry to lift from the garage to the dolly. It has unequal height since there is a 8" step. And allows me to roll (trolley) right on to the dolly and then drop it down gracefully. I use a snatch block to reduce the speed and it works like a charm.
Haha! made me laugh when you gave them quarters. When I was a kid,I used to help an old man up the street,seemed he got ambition after he was elderly,and I would work all day for him and get 50 cents. I did it just to hear his stories.
My Dad grew up in Morrison, IL, right by the fair grounds. Back in the 70's we went to his parent's house on vacation and I can remember going down the street to the Dairy Joy and getting ice cream for $0.25. How times have changed.
Always a treat to watch your videos. You've got great helpers. Milkshakes were a quarter when I was a boy, with tax that was 14 returned pop botlles@2cents each.
I guess I have been watching your videos for a long time because I am impressed with how big Jordan has gotten from the little boy that used to work with you.
LOL the quarter bit or should I say two bits. My dad had years of Popular Science and Mechanics but got rid of them when we moved to NC in 66. It would be interesting to have those again.
Eric Corse: Since you mentioned it, I have 34 issues of Popular Mechanic in good condition from 1981 through the 80's with one 1999 issue. August 1984 has Jimmy Carter on the cover on a shaving bench making a chair. I have them on craigslist but no takers so far at 30.00 + shipping. BTW, I live in Charlotte, N.C. Let me know. theprices4255@att.net 704-408-2128 Thanks
They were boys when they came over, and MEN when they left...after you put them to work. 👍👍👍 When I worked for my Dad, he'd give me a dollar for a growing teen's lunch [circa 1965] at THE RED BARN . My favorite 2 15cent burgers a 20cent fry a 20cent coke and he'd say "keep the change" 30 cents lol! OH yes, he wanted a "chicken dinner" he'd give me $3 and "expected change back"🙄🙄
Those were the days in 1963 when I was in college. We could buy a beautiful plate lunch for $.89. Included mashed potatoes and gravy roast beef, a vegetable and all the bread and butter you could possibly eat
Hi Lyle, That tip in appreciation was really showing your age. Clearly it's the boss who does the shopping!! I think you might need stronger stairs and a much heavier pole to move Adam's shaper in that way, and about 20 Adams on each end. I have an Archdale horizontal mill, around WW2 vintage, and it's around 2 ton. It's definitely a forklift job. Were you serious about taking it out again in 6 months? Maybe you should install a trapdoor and electric winch to the upper floor. There is another project. Regards Dennis.
Who else is watching this, he sounds like my 89years old grandpa! That quarter Mr Pete, wouldn't buy and an Ice cream now. Anyway! thanks for the laugh at 7 am Saturday in California!
When I watched your other video, your basement shop tour, that is the first thing I was wondering, how does he get all those lathes, milling machines down there!! ha ha , love that sense of humor.
Hi Mr Pete ,don't forget when they come back in 6months to carry it back out, don't give them any more money, because they should have looked after what you gave em the first time, kids nowadays , Doh! Lol. Thanks for the video,stay safe, best wishe's to you and family, Stuart uk.
@@mrpete222 Yes sir! I've been watching your videos, Abom and Keith Rucker. Fifty two years old and never used one before, though I've wanted one for years. All it costs me is getting it out of a friend's cellar and into mine. Keep up the good work my friend!
Glad to see you're still alive, Mr Pete! I haven't been in the mood for one of your videos for a while, but I was wondering how you were so thought I'd check in and enjoyed this one. Particularly the heckling of the guys that sounded so dry and serious but was clearly you baiting them. Finally drew a smile with the quarter dollars :-D Fingers crossed for a superior government from a place far away to be semi safe from the status quo's antics. XXOO
I bought a house several years ago with a really nice, large all wood desk. I was surprised it stayed until I tried to move it myself. Many years later I sold the house and the desk stayed.
HA!! No wonder they were insulted. You should have let them have the entire quarter. Sheesh, what a cheapskate. I loved that, and their response. Beautiful! Great that you have a Mr. Pete-proof family! Thanks for the videos!
You don't think you was irritating your grandson and son-in-law just a little bit? LOL Tried to move some stuff to the basement today with all the rain and got stuck! A Bad Day!!! I watched a lot of your videos! I have learned so much from watching your videos. I have even tried some of your style to my developing Style. I'm necessary not a steam engine guy I'm a stirling engine guy, love your build & approach. I do plan to build one of those engines that you say we all can build of your design. I also like to thank you!!! For Not showing off & shaming us for our lik of knowledge.
That was great. Well this Friday, I have a work party scheduled to move a 7 inch Rhodes shaper. Would love to meet you. You put together great videos, as well as Abom and Keith. Regards, Dave W.
@@mrpete222 Hi again, well the Rhodes shaper is apart and in the shop. It was suggested to put the base on caster wheels, and I could install screw down jacks to stabilize it for operation. It is in very nice shape and a new coat of paint, motor and wiring renewal and it should be ready to go. Stay safe and healthy. Dave
That looks like a disaster ready to happen. Carrying things up and down stairs is not safe. Moving furniture up and down stairs is bad enough. That's cracked me up when you gave each quarter. Reminds me when we kids my dads mother gave us a dime in our birthday card.
Lyle, after seeing their reactions to the 25¢ offers for milkshakes, I think you owe it to them to rob a bank and take them to get a couple of today's milkshakes! I remember _my_ reaction when my Granddaddy paid me for mowing his yard in the early '70s. I was really disappointed in that payment! ;) Lol!
Well, you could always put an ad up in the local gym for a couple of muscle-men. Well, at leas you now why they call it a shaper - gets people into shape pretty quickly :)
Just a hint from an old truck driver. If you choke wrap your tie down, specially something larger, Start the wrap over the top, not under the bottom like you did. You get more down force that way. A hint more for the readers.
I liked the tip you gave, that was a good one. I was just wondering if they went to a cafe with the pennies and ask them to force a currency back in time, if they actually would get a larger milkshake than usual-?
A Nickle for a milkshake? When I was a lad in the UK, a pint of beer (Starlight bitter) could be had for eleven pence (5P post decimal), and a gallon of petrol was four shillings (20P). My mum says that when she was a wee girl her mum would give her a sixpence to go to the Saturday matinee at the local cinema, and she had enough left over for a bag of chips on the way home. For some reason that has me thinking of Monty Python and The Four Yorkshiremen.
In 1958, I would go from Harold Park to Brentwood (UK) on the bus to the Saturday morning pictures. Pay my way in, sixpence, by some crisps and an ice block, then bus it home, all for 2 shillings.
Hey, can I get the phone numbers of those two guys who moved your machinery? I've got a big move coming up and have a cup full of change! That was awesome! Laughed out loud at that one Mr. Pete.
They are probably thinking to themselves, why in the "L" did he not just assembly this thing in the basement when the pieces were a lot less weight to carry down.🤔
Their look was priceless when you gave them a quarter.
I’m 63, 50 years ago my brother and I got 50 cents a week allowance.

Sorry for your loss, your brother seemed to be too young to go.
Jim S that's pretty good my allowance was 25 cents and I'm 50 y/o. Lol
I never got any allowance. It was work or get whipped.
My dad never paid me at all. I cut lawn and delivered papers as a kid to make money but I had to dad's lawn for free.
Always nice to have help when needed.
My shop is also in the basement, however, our house is a walkout with a 1 car garage door. We also had floor trusses not floor joists so the whole basement was one room no poles.

Can you imagine, even for just a minute, being Mr Pete's son-in-law?
Lmao i wish i was
What a big tipper. Good thing you were there to supervise !
You know Russ and Jordan are thinking, “Bring it back up in six months?!?!? UGHHH!!!”
Get a winch and some skids for the bottom and just pull it up the stairs.
Job done! No injuries and no damage. All KPI`s have been met, thanks to experienced and expert supervision . Well done Mr Pete ( and family ).
Thanks

Good show Mr Pete. It is great you have two "great" heavies to do this for you. May Jesus bless them always.
I had really good laugh!! My dad would have said: "Don't you complain boy, that's a ¢25 too much!!!".

Hi have mine on right now as I read your comment. Be sure and watch tomorrow’s video, I just bought three
There was a Dairy Queen midway through my paper route back in the early 60's. I'd pull my bicycle over and buy a plain small soft serve ice cream cone for 5 cents.
I did the same thing at the tasty freeze. Sometimes did not have a nickel, but they had a drinking fountain on the outside of the building
Lucky for me, we had lots of litter bugs. I would find pop bottles on the roadside and turn them in at the A&P for the penny deposit. Always had money for ice cream.

Hi Lyle,
That tip in appreciation was really showing your age. Clearly it's the boss who does the shopping!!
I think you might need stronger stairs and a much heavier pole to move Adam's shaper in that way, and about 20 Adams on each end.
I have an Archdale horizontal mill, around WW2 vintage, and it's around 2 ton. It's definitely a forklift job.
Were you serious about taking it out again in 6 months? Maybe you should install a trapdoor and electric winch to the upper floor. There is another project.

Just a hint from an old truck driver. If you choke wrap your tie down, specially something larger, Start the wrap over the top, not under the bottom like you did. You get more down force that way. A hint more for the readers.
👍
You just need a nice trap door and a hook in the ceiling but good luck talking the wife into that lol at least it's lighter than the Bridgeport
Did anyone else notice that studio B isn't in the garage behind studio A?
a milkshake was a quarter about the time the dead sea got sick
I liked the tip you gave, that was a good one. I was just wondering if they went to a cafe with the pennies and ask them to force a currency back in time, if they actually would get a larger milkshake than usual-?
lol
A Nickle for a milkshake? When I was a lad in the UK, a pint of beer (Starlight bitter) could be had for eleven pence (5P post decimal), and a gallon of petrol was four shillings (20P). My mum says that when she was a wee girl her mum would give her a sixpence to go to the Saturday matinee at the local cinema, and she had enough left over for a bag of chips on the way home. For some reason that has me thinking of Monty Python and The Four Yorkshiremen.
👍👍
In 1958, I would go from Harold Park to Brentwood (UK) on the bus to the Saturday morning pictures. Pay my way in, sixpence, by some crisps and an ice block, then bus it home, all for 2 shillings.
Hey, can I get the phone numbers of those two guys who moved your machinery? I've got a big move coming up and have a cup full of change! That was awesome! Laughed out loud at that one Mr. Pete.
lol
Maybe it hasn't hit Illinois yet but the 5 and dime of the 50's is now the dollar store. Ah the beauty of an inflationary economy!
It hit Illinois along time ago
So next chapter of this series will be making an oil pump for the other shaper, right?
They are probably thinking to themselves, why in the "L" did he not just assembly this thing in the basement when the pieces were a lot less weight to carry down.🤔
Just what I was thinking😂😂
20 cent milkshake in 2020...Maybe in a Solo shot glass?
Now all I need is a grandson.
lol
Mr.Pete how did you manage to get your Bridgeport down there? Have a similar basement and was thinking of how I can bring a mill that size down.
Same way
