**SHIEY.....I HOPE YOU READ THIS, IT WILL ANSWER SOME OF UR QUESTIONS** 4:45 Those wooden boxes held all the letters in the alphabet(upper/lower letters, different size upper/lower letters, specialty stamps, etc), you put all the letters together to spell words.

Hopefully, you could let know u read this info....stay safe bro & awesome vid!!!!!
the machine at 4:20 has to be a sort of linotype. you type on the keyboard and the corresponding letters trickle down and makes a stencil of sort, which is then cast in lead. its the quicker, more noisy alternative to manually putting the sentences together for print. after use, the lead stencils can be thrown right back into the hot lead pot, and the letters get sorted back into the cases. i think they're pretty rare, very intricate machines
Its awesome to think how many people used to go there everyday. Someone sat at those machines day after day. Coworkers, friends, bosses. At one time that was a booming busy building. Cool shit

I love how much he respects the places he visits. Everything he picks up he places it back exactly where it was. No broken windows or doors, he’ll enter via something that already looks accessible. In one video I saw a companion remove the panel from a door to get outside but they placed it back on as soon as they got back in. This is how exploring should always be done.
I like how you just walk through the building, respecting and admiring the machines, rooms and people that worked there and not randomly breaking stuff like others would do

Can we talk about how rad it is that most of the machinery still works, some of it possibly being 30+ years old? I enjoy your way of exploring, Shiey, a lot in fact. You have a way with the camera and a lot of respect for the places you visit.
My heart dropped. I rember when i was a kid i was walking in an a abandoned building an the phone rang in the next room. I picked it up an the other person on the phone said im watching you.. That was creppy as fuck..
I just came home from an abandoned factory in Chicago, place is so torn down and ugly. I’ve lived 2 blocks and always wanted to explore it. Everything is sprayed up w graffiti. Very cool vibe tho it’s humongous
I'm pretty sure that first building is a metal workshop used to make letter blocks for printing presses, which are located in the second building. That would explain the separation of buildings, and why they needed lathes, drill presses, mixers, etc. in a building for printing books: They made their fonts instead of buying them from other companies. Still not sure about that pizza cutter though.
I could be mistaken but you have a similar thing in sewing you run it over your material you want to cut and it does layer cutting without having to use scissors
Really love the evolution of your videos. From silent bunker runs to actually hearing you explain your thoughts and the mission behind what you do...thank you for everything.
shiey is definitely a building interpreter. He actually visits most abandoned buildings and tries to discover what it used to be. It's basically a "bedtime-story" type of thing for me lately. shiey, stay based, king!
I've seen him without a mask. But he keeps one on now to hide his identity when he's out in public in case someone sees his videos and recognizes him. I definitely agree with you I love the mask I love the anommimity.
Fairly sure he mentioned that he had other people tell him where these things are (most likely urbex people that live in riga)/ found some on google maps. It was definitely planned weeks/months in prior to his journey to the city, he didnt just stumble across these places.
I find it facinating that these machines are plugged in and fully working and that there is power going to this building thats clearly been abandoned for years. You really should turn off all the lights after yourself, otherwise youre only creating chnaces for people to realise the building has power and have it cut off. its strange that there isnt homless people living in there considering there is lighting and power.

@@leweee Does not have to be, the place I work for got no water bills for 4 Years and nobody noticed, no one of the city and no one from us. (We obviosly paid the missing bills)
It's probably because someone still owns these places (which makes it illegal to visit btw, but that's why the series is called that way) and they likely plan on reactivating most of the time
even if those machines look old it doesnt mean it got abanded to long ago.. we still use old machines becose they work great.. but i still cant say when it got abandoned and also. love your videos mate. isnpired me to continue with my own climbing and exploring here in sweden
Those machines would easily sell for double that here in the States, even in non-working condition. We haven't really been in the machine manufacturing business in several decades, so now your stuck paying a lot of money for either a clapped out SouthBend or Atlas, or pay a huge premium on a nice machine from Taiwan.
@@richard1165 Man here in Czech Republic there was company named Bata and that company was making shoes from 1894. There was big factory full of original old machines but in 90s communism ended here. This big factory ended because borders was free and they start import cheap boots from china. Almost every machine was sold to other countries like india and china. They probably still making boots on these old machines.
@@athulmohan7305 Yes bata is only one and yes I know even back then years ago Bata build many factories around the world in India too. Its crazy when you realize this brand is from my city :D
One of the coolest things about all the abandoned buildings he visits is the idea of a person using the building and then exiting it for the very last time, making it officially abandoned.
Shiey, I hope you are happy and safe wherever you are, your videos give me inspiration and have helped me to not feel so alone in these pandemic times, I would road dog with you anyday! Much love dude
hey shiey, I wanted to suggest getting a small attachable mic. so there would be less wind noise in your videos. otherwise i love your exploration and work
Man that place with the workshops, I could spend hours there, looking at all the bits and pieces. As a bit of a hobby woodworker, I could probably figure out how 90% of the stuff works too. Really awesome place!
2:05 Those drill bits and fabrication tools would be worth quite a bit of money. If someone sets up a new workshop and buys that stuff new, it costs hundreds of dollars. Can't believe someone would just leave it all behind.
Not Gary Oldman yeah definitely. many thousands. They had lathes and presses and all sorts of goodies in there. Have fun getting those out of there tho lol.
The nagging mom in me watches and wants to say pick up your trash and turn off the lights. Also paranoid as hell he's going to come across someone in the buildings, back alleys, woods, etc.
I wish that I could come explore with you. You’re one of the most respectful of adventurers. You’re not wanting to damage or take anything. You just want to simply explore and see, which I commend that. I absolutely do. No one nowadays can just go explore like this, and just sight see. Everyone wants to like destroy shit, graffiti it etc. but if I have a dream now it would be to explore places like this with you and actually camp out like you do that’s so sick I absolutely love these videos man
@ 4:25 this is the machine that creates those silver letters, I have seen a similar machine. If this is the same machine I have seen, when you type on the keyboard, the machine actually physically casts the letters from molten metal, the cool thing is you can actually melt down the silver letters once you are finished with them, inside the machine and reuse the metal to create new ones.
Oh man, that second building was probably a publisher and a big one! By the looks of it they did most of the work in house, from preparing the paper, to the layouts, printing it, covers for the books... really cool!
What fun. I wish I had filmed my travels in the early 2010s. We went exploring abandoned places we would see on back highways. When i travel , If Im not in a rush, I LOVE taking old US and State Highways instead of the boring Interstate system.
yeah, if you have ever touched any machine once in your life you will know that the red button will always be stopping it lol. still a great video, shiey is one of my favorite youtubers.
@@TheGumiBear Yea, ofc, love Shiey, was just pointing it out since i found it funny. So i hope no one takes it the wrong way and thinks i'm hating on him, i'm obviously not ^^'
I know right? In production, red means power is running to the machine. Industry saying is "red is dead," meaning most dangerous for the operator. Typically a black or green indicator stops the power. Pretty backwards if you think about traffic lights lol
The difference between the age of the equipment and how long they looked abandoned probably had to do with a shift in the printing methods they used. Most print shops now use LED UV, digital for ink jet, and Xerox for printing. Back in the day they'd use presses and rollers that would put ink onto a 3D surface like those wood and metal letter press blocks. It's a lot less common now so they probably just left those rooms to collect dust, and consolidated their operations to part of the building. If they had any digital or Xerox equipment, they might have been able to sell it off or move it to a smaller operation. I'm not sure how it works, but that caterpillar looking conveyor belt is used in newspaper printing.
the big machine with a keyboard is a linotype machine. the operator types on the keyboard, and what they type is turned into custom lead case type. the rectangular column on the back of it would hold a flow of hot lead to pour the type. the skinny drawers would have held standard type fonts for typesetting press plates.
This is what douchtubers would title this video if they did the same thing: "VISITING EXTREMELY HAUNTED BUILDING GONE WRONG!!!! WE SAW A GHOST?!?!?! (SCARY) ". Meanwhile you're just chillin', love it.

@@leweee Does not have to be, the place I work for got no water bills for 4 Years and nobody noticed, no one of the city and no one from us. (We obviosly paid the missing bills)
It's probably because someone still owns these places (which makes it illegal to visit btw, but that's why the series is called that way) and they likely plan on reactivating most of the time
I think this place is still in use by someone.

Looks like it. Aside from that one spot that caught fire, the infrastructure I saw was nice and functional.
even if those machines look old it doesnt mean it got abanded to long ago.. we still use old machines becose they work great.. but i still cant say when it got abandoned
and also. love your videos mate. isnpired me to continue with my own climbing and exploring here in sweden
Super ! New episode ! Thank You Shiey ! :)
Great videos....so unique to see how everything is kinda frozen in time... like every place was abandoned in the 80,s....love it..
those mills in the metal workshop sells for around 6000€ used :D ( 2:17 , 7:30 )
Those machines would easily sell for double that here in the States, even in non-working condition. We haven't really been in the machine manufacturing business in several decades, so now your stuck paying a lot of money for either a clapped out SouthBend or Atlas, or pay a huge premium on a nice machine from Taiwan.
@@richard1165 Man here in Czech Republic there was company named Bata and that company was making shoes from 1894. There was big factory full of original old machines but in 90s communism ended here. This big factory ended because borders was free and they start import cheap boots from china. Almost every machine was sold to other countries like india and china. They probably still making boots on these old machines.
Martin Paták Další Čech vítej 🤣
@@athulmohan7305 Yes bata is only one and yes I know even back then years ago Bata build many factories around the world in India too. Its crazy when you realize this brand is from my city :D
Similar situation for the lathe! My heart ached when I saw it. I wanted it bad, even though I probably wouldn't be working.
One of the coolest things about all the abandoned buildings he visits is the idea of a person using the building and then exiting it for the very last time, making it officially abandoned.
Electricity is free in Riga.....by the looks of things
Fire risk though
its not riga
@@Markokk888 what is it then ?
@@6___________99_____________64 i think its in lithuania
@@Markokk888 it is Rīga.
Shiey, I hope you are happy and safe wherever you are, your videos give me inspiration and have helped me to not feel so alone in these pandemic times, I would road dog with you anyday! Much love dude
Last time I was this early,Shiey used to show his face.
Something relaxing about watching these videos, minus the parts where he is walking on the edge of a rooftop... lol
" I know I can use public transport.... but.. umm...
NO!"
😂 Love the Shiey way.
Shiey way to say that next place is ten minute walk away..🚶♂️
Man, i love this dude.
His videos are so nice and different from other exploring youtubers.
Keep up the goodwork man!
hey shiey, I wanted to suggest getting a small attachable mic. so there would be less wind noise in your videos. otherwise i love your exploration and work
Don’t worry about wind noise. Who needs extra weight and wires while your climbing water towers and generally kicking ass.
I actually like the noise, the glass crunching, the wind blowing etc. I would be sad if all we could hear was him IMO
(called a lavalier mic for future reference)
@@darkmann12 I'm sure he's referring to the non-powered Røde VideoMicro etc. and not a lavalier microphone.
@@Spergie ah, that's not something i thought of. to be honest, the original comment could apply both ways
Man that place with the workshops, I could spend hours there, looking at all the bits and pieces. As a bit of a hobby woodworker, I could probably figure out how 90% of the stuff works too. Really awesome place!
1:31 That buzzed and then I got a notification from Windows, and for a second I was like "WHAT?! That machine is connected to Windows 10???"
Shiey you’re such a chill adventurous dude I fucking love it. & you’re brave as hell roaming abandoned buildings by yourself.😂♥️
2:05 Those drill bits and fabrication tools would be worth quite a bit of money. If someone sets up a new workshop and buys that stuff new, it costs hundreds of dollars. Can't believe someone would just leave it all behind.
Not Gary Oldman yeah definitely. many thousands. They had lathes and presses and all sorts of goodies in there. Have fun getting those out of there tho lol.
These videos are criminally underrated. Thanks Shiey.
People: let's get into area 51
Shiey: ohh really ? Don't wanna do it a second time
I liked the theatre and the viewing gallery. All good. Thank you for sharing.
5:35 NOO, you forgot to switch the light off.
The nagging mom in me watches and wants to say pick up your trash and turn off the lights. Also paranoid as hell he's going to come across someone in the buildings, back alleys, woods, etc.
No he turned them of when he whan heading down the stairs
This gives me The Last of Us vibe, especially the first minutes with all those overgrown plants.
I wish that I could come explore with you. You’re one of the most respectful of adventurers. You’re not wanting to damage or take anything. You just want to simply explore and see, which I commend that. I absolutely do. No one nowadays can just go explore like this, and just sight see. Everyone wants to like destroy shit, graffiti it etc. but if I have a dream now it would be to explore places like this with you and actually camp out like you do that’s so sick I absolutely love these videos man
@ 4:25 this is the machine that creates those silver letters, I have seen a similar machine. If this is the same machine I have seen, when you type on the keyboard, the machine actually physically casts the letters from molten metal, the cool thing is you can actually melt down the silver letters once you are finished with them, inside the machine and reuse the metal to create new ones.
Go to Estonia, Pärnu. Theres an abandoned hospital over there.
Ghozt Tallinnas rohkem tegevust ja ta ei hakka hetkel kindla peal tulema
Läbi pärnu saabki Tallinna, pole hullu :D
võiks Eesti tulla jah :D
Kus see haigla veel on? Eluaeg pärnus elanud
@@Epindary sillutise 6 :p
Oh man, that second building was probably a publisher and a big one! By the looks of it they did most of the work in house, from preparing the paper, to the layouts, printing it, covers for the books... really cool!
whenever he turns around and someone or something is Standing behind him im gonna propably die cuz im Not prepared for this type of horror movie
I love the video!Its just shiey saying:
„Old crap…
I like it“
6:08 "posters of kittens and ladies" **looking at them while deciding if he will look at them again after filming** 😸👩🏻🚀
What fun. I wish I had filmed my travels in the early 2010s. We went exploring abandoned places we would see on back highways. When i travel , If Im not in a rush, I LOVE taking old US and State Highways instead of the boring Interstate system.
16:38 don't know why for me It's kinda creepy seeing a random chair on a hallway xD
Craze Dhark not really
Peter Hallen that’s why this person said “for me” not just generalizingz
Tyler Butschli Yeah but usually you find chairs in abandoned places
Some of those machines were absolute gems!
"You'd think the red button starts it"
No.. no i would not.. Never would i think a red button or light ever meant something was running/made it run.
yeah, if you have ever touched any machine once in your life you will know that the red button will always be stopping it lol.
still a great video, shiey is one of my favorite youtubers.
@@TheGumiBear Yea, ofc, love Shiey, was just pointing it out since i found it funny. So i hope no one takes it the wrong way and thinks i'm hating on him, i'm obviously not ^^'
I know right? In production, red means power is running to the machine. Industry saying is "red is dead," meaning most dangerous for the operator. Typically a black or green indicator stops the power. Pretty backwards if you think about traffic lights lol
@@putittop1236 I don't know what machines you have worked with but I think you are in the minority with your observations.
19:46 you missed a sensor in the stairwell !
The difference between the age of the equipment and how long they looked abandoned probably had to do with a shift in the printing methods they used. Most print shops now use LED UV, digital for ink jet, and Xerox for printing. Back in the day they'd use presses and rollers that would put ink onto a 3D surface like those wood and metal letter press blocks. It's a lot less common now so they probably just left those rooms to collect dust, and consolidated their operations to part of the building. If they had any digital or Xerox equipment, they might have been able to sell it off or move it to a smaller operation. I'm not sure how it works, but that caterpillar looking conveyor belt is used in newspaper printing.
you can search for abandoned places map made in google maps
in google. these usually have alot of places written down. i use it in Tallinn to explore
What? What link
I'm afraid of heights but I like this guy!
Hats off to your courageous personality
That Tom and Jerry magazine you found was actually in Dutch, God knows how that ends up there.
the big machine with a keyboard is a linotype machine. the operator types on the keyboard, and what they type is turned into custom lead case type. the rectangular column on the back of it would hold a flow of hot lead to pour the type.
the skinny drawers would have held standard type fonts for typesetting press plates.
Dude I would never go in there I would've peed myself so props to you for doing that and just chillin
Your videos are very solemn sobering to me. Everything is abandoned in the end. Everyone dies in the end.
3:30 i think that is used to let the ink on newspapers dry...
