Hello Dave. Was thinking about you today. Hope everything is well with you and your family. It's been 7 months since your last video. Can't wait to see what you've been working on!!
Hello, I've watched your entire series. Enjoyed all. I'm about your age, hope all is well with you and yours. Back in the 1920s my grampa Horner started a ford tractor sales and service. When the small farmers were in business. Growing up I enjoyed the "shop". It wasn't steam, but the old tools were ...cool. My grampa also made and sold about 15 golf course tractors from model T motors and frames. Small and light with wide iron tires with spuds for traction instead of ribs. They were used when not tearing up the grass was important. I'm also a private pilot. I guess you plane holds alot of fuel! Saw you take off ,but you never landed.😅 hope to see you around.
Mr. Richards I enjoyed your latest excellent video. I see you had a successful landing in your beautiful airplane. I enjoy your machine shop videos greatly. Thank you sir
Love the whistle! Had to replay the start of the video a dozen times! Dave, you have a rigid mount motor on the lathe, that equals a LOT of vibration. If you use a resilient mount like a 48 frame motor It'll take most of that vibration out of it. The 48 frame motors mount through rubber rings on the end bells. Love the whistle!
I think you are right, but most of the vibration, it seems to me is torsional. If you put a long piece of bar stock in the chuck and touch it while it's running you can really feel it. I am going to try some rubber mounts too........Dave
Dave, up here in the Hudson Valley it's been a mild winter, no snow to speak of. Now you've got a spare whistle you can start selling peanuts. Guess we'll have to wait a couple more weeks unless you take it to the show to power it up.
Dave, I have watched every single video you have created. By profession I'm a grain elevator millright, but you've sparked my interest in machining. The boss(wife) has allowed me to buy a newer lathe and build a shop behind the house. Keep up the good work and you have taught me more than you think!
I would like to have a dollar for every time somebody in your town said “oh there goes Dave blowing is whistle again”!lol I can only imagine people have been hearing it for years and years and know exactly what it is and who’s doing it. I think it’s pretty cool that you do that.
Everyone is entitled to their on opinion in this great country of ours. However, I don't try to improve the appearance of the machine. I look at all the scratches, dings, and scrapes as the war map of all the battles the old girl fought. Keep the videos coming.
Nice job on the whistle I have a three chime that needs some attention and I think you've given me a reason to give it some love,thanks for the video🤗😎🤗😎
Very nice Dave. I'll certainly be looking forward to hearing that whistle this Spring! I was thinking that you might remake that nut also, but I guess a little work it'll look good. The little town I'm from in Michigan sounded the siren at the fire station at Noon. My grandparent's farm was a ways out of town but the siren could be easily heard, telling us kids it was time to head to the house for lunch.
Hi Dave, thank you for the creation of this channel. I have been really enjoying watching your content back to back over last month. You really inspired me to get started down the track of getting into steam engine building. For me its only going to be small models, i really learned alot from this channel. This is such a great channel to stop on by and forget about life for a while and go back in time to a forgotten era of machining.
Nice one Dave. I did the same thing on my 3" Buckeye for my Baker Traction Engine. Next whistle is a little 3 chime so it isn't too loud under the canopy. Keep up the great videos.
Nice to see ya puttering around in your southern shop Dave. Might try and get across the river and visit your NY shop sometime this summer, if time permits. Always enjoy your videos!
Thanks for sharing that video, I was wondering if you could run the “steam whistle “ on compressed air. If you get a chance could you show a video of one of your whistles running on compressed air? If you could I would appreciate it. I was going to make one from my shop love the sound of them!!! Thanks again
Sweet fix Dave, simple tools and all. Stay warm in the hide out. By the way, the work on Pete's tractor turned out great. It seems to run like a watch. Take care. Regards/greg

I wish I had this whistle to piss off my neighbors, but I love that you just did this because its just cool
Gday Dave, great to see you back, the whistle looks great, thanks for sharing mate, cheers
Thx for letting us watch you simply Do what you Do very well. Look forward to hearing it sing out.
Your father will be proud of you hacksaw and file .

Thanks for your comment Nick....Dave
Glad you’re back.
were waiting, we have nothing else to do, see how much responsibility you have to keep us entertained!!
David, you are a very talented man, I wished now I'd taken up engineering as a kid instead of chasing dreams of sport and girls.
Or cars and girls! Lol
Eagerly awaiting another great video from a guy that has taught me so much and i have never met.
Great to see another video . Always look forward to seeing them.
Beautiful job! Especially, when you did so much with simple hand tools.
Love the whistle! Had to replay the start of the video a dozen times!

Another great video, hope you are doing well. Sure miss the big shop project. George from Indiana
You made winter more bearable up in norther Illinois. Thanks for posting. Interesting content.
Good to hear from the frozen north Mike.....Dave
Great job on the whistle Dave. Look forward to more of your content.
Dave, up here in the Hudson Valley it's been a mild winter, no snow to speak of. Now you've got a spare whistle you can start selling peanuts. Guess we'll have to wait a couple more weeks unless you take it to the show to power it up.
Haven't seen any new videos lately. Hope you are well, Dave.
nice lines to the handle and bracket.
I don’t have a whistle so I guess I will have to settle for the even more vintage method and use my 1800s bell. 😎
Just checking in on you, and hoping you are ok.. it's been a minute.
Dave, I have watched every single video you have created. By profession I'm a grain elevator millright, but you've sparked my interest in machining.

You made my day putting out a video. Great job on the whistle hope to see you soon.
Nice. Makes me want to post my little single chime whistle fix....
Good to hear from you
Nice job on the whistle Dave, I enjoy watching your videos.

Keep the videos coming.
Rollie, I would agree, but using a pipe wrench or vise grips on a beautifully made brass fitting is abuse.....Dave
It seems like every steam whistle I’ve seen they used a pipe wrench on. Seems a little crude but I guess they used what they had.
You got to have a whistle, and that’s that!
New long awaited episode!! Thanks!!
Love the steam whistle repair/restore content! Thank you!!!!
That came up great . Cheers.
Nice job on the whistle I have a three chime that needs some attention and I think you've given me a reason to give it some love,thanks for the video🤗😎🤗😎
thanks for posting....
Another great video Dave. Thank you.
Great to see you are still at it, Dave. Enjoy Florida, and I can't wait for next season in the big shop.
Excellent work
Seems odd there hasn't been a video out since February, everything ok David?
David thanks for another great video hope all is well look forward to the next one thank you for sharing
Thanks Dave, Great restoration on the whistle, looking forward to hear it blowing.
Great job. Glad you are in the warm. ATB regards from the UK
Always a good day when I see a video from you, Dave.... Nice job on the whistle.
Thanks,
Russ
Dave, it is great to see you are doing well. I miss you videos.
Boy, that turned out nice. Thanks Dave!
lt's always good to see one of your video's David....Thanks ever so much 👍
Shoe🇺🇸
Great to see your saving a another piece of history
Very good work on this whistle I love all old things with their odd shapes and forms
In sixty years of junking at antique/ junk stores, flea markets, garage sales and swap meets, I've never ran across a steam whistle out in the wild.
A great start to my day, first day back at work after 5 months off through illness, thanks for video. Better go clock in. Alex norfolk uk
Nice Job 😉😁 and nice piece of collection too
That is a cool whistle man.
Very nice Dave. I'll certainly be looking forward to hearing that whistle this Spring! I was thinking that you might remake that nut also, but I guess a little work it'll look good. The little town I'm from in Michigan sounded the siren at the fire station at Noon. My grandparent's farm was a ways out of town but the siren could be easily heard, telling us kids it was time to head to the house for lunch.
It's great to see another something old saved. You did a grand job on that lever and pivot, the brass paint looks brass! Thank you
great video !
Hello David,
A good video as always.
Greetings from Friesland in the Netherlands
Enjoyed…nice repair/build
Very nice! I always enjoy your videos. I hope you are enjoying the warm Florida sun. Wish I were there!
Thanks David. Love your channel.
WOW..👍👍.. NICE JOB DAVE !
Nice

Can't wait to hear that one Dave.😀
beautiful
Thanks for sharing 👍
fine work there dave thanks for sharing!!!
slick as a whistle...
That is some fine file work Dave! Just goes to show it’s a poor craftsman that blames his tool!
Those old steam whistles have such an iconic sound!

Looks really good David👍!
Thanks Dave, I always look forward to your videos. Great stuff!
Nice little project! As allways, good to see your videos.
My grandfather was a machinist. I very much enjoy your videos and seeing what my grandfather may have done as well. Thanks!!
Until next spring, I’ll be waiting.
Good to see you in the shop David 😎
👍! Very nice !
Love the results on th whistle and very good videography work.
Thanks for sharing
Nice to see ya puttering around in your southern shop Dave. Might try and get across the river and visit your NY shop sometime this summer, if time permits. Always enjoy your videos!
Your work is always inspiring! Thanks for continuing to share, and help pass along your knowledge and experience.
nice, detailed work Dave. thanks
What you can do with a file, hammer, vise, saw and a little know how. Amazing Dave.
Love the videos!
Thanks for sharing that video, I was wondering if you could run the “steam whistle “ on compressed air. If you get a chance could you show a video of one of your whistles running on compressed air?

Very nice. Can't wait to hear it.
looks good
@ David Richards I hope all is well with you. I have missed the weekly dose of stem this summer.
Great whistle . I'm in Naples and hope to get to the Wheelers next Saturday.
You better not disturb anyone with that whistle down there in Florida.
Another well done job !
Sweet fix Dave, simple tools and all. Stay warm in the hide out. By the way, the work on Pete's tractor turned out great. It seems to run like a watch. Take care. Regards/greg
Love this channel
I enjoyed seeing you hacking away at that slot by hand, just the way I would do it in my own minimally equipped shop. Can't wait to hear the whistle!
Love it Dave
