Bravo! Just setting up the camera for every angle must have added many hours to completion of this project. Not many would have the patience to document every step of this endeavor. Enjoyed watching the process from beginning to end.

[@MyLilMule]

I enjoy video making. It's just a different hobby. But yes, it doubles and triples the time it takes to finish a project.

[@paulhammond7489]

Enjoyed the recap... I recalled some of the struggles that you overcame, and the many wins along the way. Did you keep a log of the time you spent for the entire refurbishment? Must have been many, but worthwhile for sure.

[@MyLilMule]

I didn't keep track of the hours. I don't even want to know. 😂

[@paulhammond7489]

@@MyLilMule Probably a good idea not to know :)

[@MurlWatne-io2bo]

Absolutely fabulous restore. You are a mechanics mechanic.

[@MyLilMule]

I don't know about that! But thanks for the compliment.

[@MAACotton]

You're making me obsessed with K&Ts. Im seriously considering one over a Bridgeport

[@MyLilMule]

I have both this and a Bridgeport. For my shop, they have different uses, but I do love these old K&T mills.

[@lukaszkus9937]

I have similar milling machine Adcock and Shipley 2AG which has to be done. The journey with this on front of me. 😊
Good job done and nice video👍
All the best

[@MyLilMule]

Thanks, you too!

[@HaxbyShed]

Hi Greg, I liked how you cleaned out the oil ways. 👍

[@MyLilMule]

👍🏻

[@KevinToppenberg]

I watched all this footage the first time around. But it was fun to see it all again, albeit sped up. I am struck again by how much more complicated these machines are compared to a simple Bridgeport. You do a great job working on them.

[@MyLilMule]

Glad you enjoyed it! I was using it today. I really do love this machine.

[@dannywilsher4165]

Awesome machine!

[@MyLilMule]

I love it!

[@mark63366]

Just beautiful.

[@MyLilMule]

Glad you think so!

[@Rustinox]

I tink I watched every video you've posted on the restoration of this machine. But still, it's fun to watch the quick version.

[@MyLilMule]

Thanks for watching!

[@Panzax1]

Quite annoying watching the whole thing in FF. If it was normal speed and edited, I would have loved to watch.

[@MyLilMule]

Feel free to watch the over 2 dozen individual videos I made on this from which I used clips to create this much shortened version. I've included a link to the playlist in the description.

EXcellent machine rebuilder and mechanic enjoy your work great thanks

[@MyLilMule]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@CharlesBurkdoll]

Your machine work is a joy to watch. You're a dang good mechanic as well.

[@MyLilMule]

I appreciate the kind words.

[@zoltannagy1813]

Good work. Could easily have broken down into 4 or 5 separate videos.

[@MyLilMule]

Over 2 dozen, actually. m.th-cam.com/play/PLW5c7JLIWe3_9d2d3r4Rgi2jMxMbtxGvg.html
