Been in your shoes with my wifes diagnosis and extensive treatments five years ago. So good to know things are looking good for your mom, Keith. Hang in there. So glad to see a new offering, I really look forward to your videos. Thanks!
Best wishes for your Mom's full recovery. Thank you for taking the time to share the story and create another wonderful video. Being in business for oneself is very difficult at times - nobody pays you just for showing up, and the bills keep coming. I'm a one man auto repair shop, and can relate to some of the things I see you do by yourself - thinking the whole time I wish I was there just to hold the other end of something for you, then get out of your way. :) You have what I think are the best machine shop videos on TH-cam - they're such an excellent mix of ingenuity, real life situations and working with what you have. Plus the humor thrown in here and there. Thank you.
Keith sorry to hear about your mom, glad to hear she made it through okay and is recovering. Had a tear in my eye the minute you told us and then the next minute laughing with the Jiffy Pop thing. Your a piece of work Keith! Stay strong brother! Best wishes to your family and happy holidays.
My wife had cancer last year. Cape Cod Hospital took great care. She's cancer free today. Our prayers go out to your Mom, and let her know cancer can be beaten !!
Dear Kieth, not a slow down, you where working on your family. Thanks for sharing, it the whole picture I look at. I take care of my Mom and still keep a few things rolling in the shop.
Best wishes for you mother. No worries - take all the time you need, we understand! Family comes before videos! Thanks for sharing! Thanks for the video!
I have had several projects that my local machine shop has done. They have saved the day for sure. I broke a ram off a cat 312 excavator and he welded the end back on, welded an ear back on a john deere 620 tractor belt clutch pulley, brazed a hard to find transfer case mount back together, re machined a flange back onto a turntable gearcase on our volvo 140 excavator ect. Neat to see how these projects are done.
Thanks for all your past work Keith, you have put in a mighty effort to share your knowledge and give back to the machining community and a few of us wannabees too. Best wishes for your mums speedy recovery, my own mother had a breast removed on her 93rd birthday, and is still chugging along having turned 96 a few weeks ago. With the Festive Season upon us again, I would like to wish you and all your family all the very best for the coming year, with your mother getting the "all clear" from pathology real soon.
First of all congrats on 10 years buddy. 2nd of all prayers for your mom and how humbing it is to share it all with us. Proud of ya. Lots of love to the family from all of us.
Yes Bless all our Moms ! in 1998 my wife had about the same kind of procedure. she is still with me today and she went through a few rounds of Chemo.. that's nearly 20 years ago. So there is grate hope for your Mom too! all our best wishes for your whole family!
Keith, best wishes for your Mom's recovery. Thanks for the video, it made my day. Loved your method of keeping pressure on the bar while hammering away. The expression on your face when it broke loose was perfect.
Family comes before anything else Keith, including us. We appreciate you sharing that very personal experience with us. My family will be praying for your mom having a successful and full recovery. I hope you have a very Merry Christmas together.
The great bond will help your family see this through. Prayers for a full recovery and a blessed Christmas. Always look forward to your videos - whenever they come along.
Sorry that your family is having to deal with this huge issue. We lost my mother a year ago last October due to cancer. I am grateful that your mother's surgery went well. Praying that she is over the worst.
Healthy lymph nodes, I know that to be good news. I have been through it with my Mom. Thanks for sharing, Prayers are with you. Sounds like a good prognosis from what details you shared.
I am sorry to hear about your mom. I hope she makes a speedy recovery. Thanks for the fantastic videos. You have passed on a huge amount of knowledge with your videos. The world is a better place for it.
Glad to hear your Mom is hopefully past the danger, wish her well! On a side not ,when collapsing a cylinder after reassembly I used compressed air with a cone shaped rubber cork at the port. I used a regulator on the hose to prevent the piston from withdrawing too fast so no damage is done too the seal end. Raise the pressure slowly until the piston moved.
We have deep feelings for our Moms. And we feel for you and your mother. We struggle with expressing during these times. Just want to let you know that we know where you are coming from. Deep breathes and prayers for your Mom and your family. Peace brother.
Good video, I got a bit of flash back to my SeaBee days as a Heavy Construction Mechanic.Best of luck to your Mother. I've been through that with my wife. She's been cancer free for 15 years.

Healing prayers for your mother and comfort prayers for the whole family. Glad she is up and moving and hope she recovers quickly. I have walked the same path you are on so I have felt the anxiety and the unknown. Best wishes.
All the best for your mom having an easy and full recovery and no future issues! Glad this job came along so we could see it, also so you make some Christmas money. :-)
I'm glad your mom is going to be OK. That's something that weights you down for sure. It will be good. I found it inspiring that you could do a job like you did with a bit of sport and fun like your torque wrench. Well done.

No we lost him when he was 82 years old, fell out of the sky paragliding, after he recovered from that, the shock to his system , spread the cancer in his bloodstream to major organs and then he died. ;{)------
Keith you're always good for a laugh. I do enjoy your videos and when your lead mallet flew away I could see your frustration I've been there! But when it broke loose and you almost hit the ground priceless and when you said once the wrench is straight it's back to torque lmao.
