There must be more "Drive by" viewers clicking on your videos than us subscribers. I'm sure i speak for many of us when i say we appreciate and enjoy all of your videos. The longer the better! Please keep them coming and be well Mr. Peterson!
I told my husband about this rack and pinion 'nut crusher' ... he immediately looked overly concerned, muttered something about the importance of protecting them.
The worse I remember about nut cracking, is hitting the horizontal bar on a bicycle, I stopped experimenting right then... Guess there is much worse... 😱🤢🥵😷😂😎👍
Hi Mr. Pete, l always watch your videos to the end an consider the statistic you mentioned to be a sad indictment on the shortening attention span of the present generation who are conditioned to expect instant gratification. Your longer videos are for the connoisseur 😂
"Cardboard Aided Drafting" lol,, That's how I was raised It's ingrained, I find it very difficult to throw away a cereal box Not only for pattern making but also transfer marking, gaskets, shims, I prototype the heck with it I wish I could pattern route with it :)
Tubalcain, you do a great job on these videos, most people have no idea the preparation and time it takes to produce these videos and you have made thousands. For viewers like myself, I tremendous appreciate the hard work and the knowledge you have passed on, along with the insight and humor. Truly edu-tainment! Thank you.
In my youth, also in the dawn of time, I visited a local cabinet maker. I can't remember why [probably to "steal with my eyes" - always a favourite way of learning for me] but I do remember the shop motto on the wall. The sign said "WORK SMART, WORK SIMPLE". I have adhered to this all my life as it is one of the best pieces of advice I have ever read. Keep using the cardboard Lyle, keep 'working smart'. Thanks for posting too!
Five minutes in and I'm remembering when my Dad's shirts came from the cleaners they were wrapped around a notebook page size piece of cardboard. We never threw any of that away because it was so useful.
You can't beat Chuck Comers teaching his son the morals of right and wrong in the old west. Thanks for the video Mr Pete. Happy Easter to you and everyone else.
Mr. Pet. your doing just fine. I am 75 years old and cant keep up with you. Paid an extravagant amount of money last year for an aluminum arbor press to reload my 222 rem cases in hand dies.
Sir, you are a legend. Anyone tells you that your old etc..... just remind them that they'll get old too, smile/laugh and carry on being you. I have learned so much from you just through these video's that it's almost a study in how to do things properly. Hand skills are the best skills, dad taught me that. He taught me how to lay gloss paint so you get a smooth finish, hang wallpaper and doors, to plaster walls and all sorts of things......guy was unique, like you. You keep yourself and your better half safe
Every time I watch our "Mr Pete's" videos I notice the "bible" verse* in the title page. And even though I have been reading the bible for over 80 yrs, I never recalled what the meaning of Genesis 4:22 was. So this morning I looked it up. And I must say that there are few "descriptions" in script that would describe our "Mr Pete", more than this verse. Bless his heart. He is a gift from Jesus, if there ever was one. May Jesus continue to let this man teach us what most other teachers simply can not do. We love you Lyle. **Genesis **4:22** And Zillah, she also bare Tubalcain, an instructer of every artificer in brass and iron: and the sister of Tubalcain was Naamah.*
That sentiment comes from the rest of us as well Mr Pete. I've learned more in your basement then in three years of shop classes in the early 1970's thank you!
"Foot on the brake" Didn't know your Bridgeport had a foot brake on it. Lol!!! Doesn't matter how many of the Mr. Pete videos I watch and all of the years of machining I have done. There's always something I pick up on that I've never though of doing or trying, and my dad taught us boys a lot in past years!. To me, that makes it worth while watching Mr. Pete222. As always, thanks for sharing. And yes, I watch them from start to end, as I drink my cup of coffee on Saturday morning. Ken
MrPete, I really appreciate you taking the time to make these videos. I can’t imagine it is easy but I sure appreciate it. I didn’t take the opportunity to take a metalworking class in high school (even though my high school had a pretty good metal shop at the time) so I am trying to learn all of this now. Thanks again and I hope you have a happy Easter!
Hi Lyle, don't worry about being a septuagenarian, just call it "Having a Senior Moment" when sharing your stories during a shop lesson. It helps us to learn about life stuff as well as machining. :)
FYI don't assume your longer video's are not being watched all the way through. I will start watching them but often get pulled away. but I always go back and finish watching them. wanted you to know how much your work is appreciated!!!!!!
Beautiful work, great video. Loved the comment about CAD, cardboard aided design. I taught myself confusion 360 but don’t use it enough to stay current with the changes they make. Too old to keep up anymore. Thanks Mr. Pete.
Back in the day I worked in a naval shipyard sheet metal shop. I was one of the Cad Cam programmers in the layout dept. It is wonderful technology, but I prefer (as you do) cardboard aided drafting. With cardboard, you have to know the geometric principals to accomplish the layout instead of letting the machine do it all for you. I used to love using parallel line development when laying out round shapes. Keep using cardboard Mr. Pete!
I am So Excited!! That you're Making this, Thank you sooo Much Lyle. You're incredible👍👍👍👍😀😀😀 I Absolutely Love your videos and Teaching. Ive learned so much from you! Thank you so much! Mr. Pete Take care.
@@mrpete222 You're very Welcome and Thank you for everything! I get so excited when i see you upload a video. I only watch a handful of Channels regularly, and yours is Defintely my Number 1 Channel, because you are always Making something interesting and Teaching. You are a Wonderful Educator and aVery Nice Man! We are all very lucky to have you here and Teaching Us all these Wonderful things. Thanks again Mr. Pete. Take Care and God bless you and your Family.
@@mrpete222 many Swedes who came from Sweden to the land of the free back in those days,Glad to here that.Now i know where your Swedish humor comes from have a great Easter in those times...
I did quite a bit of CAD. I also did quite a bit of quick sketching on paper and cardboard. They both have their uses. Your way is absolutely fine. You do beautiful work Mr. Pete. CAD & CNC is not for beginners nor single parts unless special operations are required. The armchair machinists who criticize you probably never actually do anything.
There is nothing more satisfying than to watch your videos to the end. I particularly liked the series on the float lock vise ( I made 4 of them). My son in law uses his all the time. Thanks for what you do, and be safe.
loved your CAD comment. i have been using computers for work and pleasure? since the 80's i am impressed with the capabilities of the various CAD programs . at my age (73) i would much rather be making chips than sitting in front of a computer :except when i'm watching utube vid's like yours. thanks for all your hard work.
Mr Pete I want you to know I was taught to make a cardboard template for anything I made by my shop teacher in shop class in 1972 and I still do it now thanks for the laugh and you are the best and please remember that no matter what the other people say
Every machinist needs an arbor press nut cracker. cardboard aidded drafting gave me a good chuckle.. I love the older simple methods instead of spending all afternoon moving a mouse I would rather be making the chips.
In your version of CAD your mind is the computer..and you get the job done! I must be "other than average" for I watch every moment, no matter the length. Henry sure is growing! Thanks, Mr. Pete! :-)
Machinist's Joke: A young and innocent 16 year old girl took a part-time job at the local hardware store. One day, an old man walked into the store and told the girl that he needed a bastard file. The girl was confused and somewhat offended because she had never heard that term before. A few moments later, the young girl called her boss and explained that some old man was cursing about some metal file. After the manager got the file for the customer, he politely explained to the girl that a bastard file was nothing but a coarse file and that the term wasn't offensive in regards to metal files. Two days later an old machinist walked into the hardware store and told the girl that he need to buy a metal file. The girl took the machinist back to the section where all of the metal files were hanging and innocently said "Would you like one of these bastards?" The old gruff machinist pointed to a file and said "Nah, this son-of-a-bitch right here ought to do the trick."
Mr. Pete please make what ever type of video you want to make, i don't want to sound morbid or anything but if you should pass we will have missed out on your great instruction opportunities and thoughts, Please quit belittling yourself on the popularity of the videos. some times my wife and i get caught up with life and we binge watch you, so again many thanks for caring about all of us, please continue your videos and great ideas. respectfully as always, Terry
Good morning Mr. Pete! A nap and The Rifleman-sounds like a good afternoon. I must be an exception as I always watch your videos to the end. Anuway have a good day
My Grandma had a set of those fancy nut crackers with the nice little pick for getting the meat out of the shells..I remember helping shell some English Walnuts for her when she was making fudge brownies and she peeked around the kitchen doorway and caught Grandpa and Me eating half of what I shelled
My boss and the engineer I am working for is using that same paper method to work out dimensions for an air vent for a car. Much quicker than spending hours to rework on the computer just to be wrong.
Right ... if its a one-off self contained part that is not intended to fit into another scheduled production assembly ... prototyping by cardboard layout is probably the way to go.
Honestly I am up to speed on several different 2D and 3D CAD programs, and I still use paper patterns and just sketch stuff on a pad of paper. Lots of times it's just the best answer.
Those who fail to watch your videos to the end miss out on learning great knowledge and great humor. Their loss not mine or the thousands of subscribers that do. Be safe Lyle, hope to see you again this summer at Stan's Bar-Z Summer Bash.
Speaking of the Rifleman. I read a magazine article where a man interviewed Chuck Conners at his ranch. At one part of the interview Chuck asked the man if he would like to see the new horse he recently bought. The man said yes he would. Chuck said I will be right back. Minutes later Chuck reappears with the horse bringing it into the livingroom.
I watch a lot of old westerns too. At least you can hear what the actors say in them. I have a boring machine that has micrometers that slip over the boring head and they are what you use to set the tool. Just pull the tool bit out to touch the mic.
I know I'm a little late to the comments so you might not get to this but, what is the very cool looking folding ruler/caliper you have sitting on the desk in the first half of the video? Have you ever talked about it in a previous post? I'm NEVER opposed to going back and watching your old videos ;-)
I was watching this with JR and with every scene he’d ask if I had the tools shown. If I said no, he’d respond that I should get that tool. Guess I’m buying a height gauge 😄
Mr. Pete I am going to make the nutcracker. That being said, mine will have a safety release so little peter doesn't get caught up and crushed in the press. Please Re-Pete it may be hazardous to the other viewers nuts and may possibly suffer a accidental circumcision with your wonderful project.
Cardboard Aided Drafting! I love it! You made that template in less time than it would take to turn on a computer and open a drafting program, much less design it.
Nice project interesting as usual, had to smile when you talked about your version of CAD four or five years back I set out to made a motor cover for my lathe like many the rear end was in the firing line of chips. So I first made and fitted a card board version of the cover and today I came across the material I had cut ready to make a more substantial one so I thought better get on with it, when I took the cardboard version off I found considering it's age recon it could have done another five years. Is it because we're similar in age we think alike :-)
On video length and how long people watch.... 95% of the stuff I watch on youtube I run at 2x. Unless someone is a faster talker to start with then I may only run at 1.5 or 1.75x, but besides music, I don't think there is anything I watch at 1x. All of this to say, don't take the lower watch time too badly. Thanks for the content you put out, while I don't have the tools to do most of what you work on, still love the content. Great content that is outside of stuff I deal with all the time!
Is there a mix-up in the numbering of your Tips? This video is #629 and so is a video in your series of how to do indexing (the one where you make flange nuts). Just curious..... I really like the videos and learns a lot from them - thank you :-)
Sir we 40 year and older groups certainly enjoy your videos get your humor and disagree with you referring to yourself as old I personally wish we could make copies of you no way to copy your wisdom and experience thank God for your videos hope the Smithsonian has copies love the steam engines. And ( if this doesn't sound too weird ) wish you were my neighbor please take good care of yourself and all. We Machinist think of you as a treasure
That Starrett mic was what we used in the mill for several reasons: .001 accuracy was sufficient. Readable in poor lighting. Out of about 100 workers, less than 5 could actually read a standard mic.
I got a free milling machine, its not a mini mill, but its tiny compared to a bridgeport, its got a nice coat of rust on some of it. Which videos should I start with to help me learn to not break the machine?
@@mrpete222 ok, I'll watch them all. until 'someone' complains that her car wont fit in the garage because of those silly tools that I 'dont really need '
Mr Pete would you say the same attention ratio was present in your students? Some there for show and tell, others captivated and totally consumed ready to learn. And we do!! Thank you, from Calgary Alberta Canada.
Need to make a trip to Streator and find the fountain of youth Mr Pete has been visiting. That finger was healed in the subsequent clip and not even a scar!
Do you find that little wood and brass folding rule (I don't know if it has a better name) to be a very useful tool? I have one in my collection but don't really know what its utility is.
The first TV series featuring a single parent raising a child. According to the story, the child's mother Margaret (and wife of Lucas) died of smallpox in Oklahoma.
Mr Pete I never click off your videos early and computer drafting doesn't mean any more to me than a good manual design. If I were to make any request, and please know that I mean this as politely as possible, don't make too many chips off camera. Even if I know the techniques you are performing I watch your videos because I just like to watch the chips fly. After I watch enough chips fly I go out in my own little mini shop (yes I am jealous of yours) and make some more chips fly! Thank you for your channel and I wish you and yours a very happy Easter.
you may misspeak when you get older but we can't hear as good when we get older so that evens it out. love your videos.
You got that right, I am is deaf as a telephone post
I'm not average, I watch the whole video.
lol
Me too!
As do I
Same here. I wouldn't miss a frame!
I watch them all the way through too, even when they're an hour or more long!
Mr. Pete I watch your video straight through no matter how long they are, I've never stopped short some of us love your videos

"Cardboard Aided Drafting"

Not only for pattern making but also transfer marking,

cardboard aided drafting is faster than any autocad or solidworks that I have used

Cardboard Aided Drafting! I love it! You made that template in less time than it would take to turn on a computer and open a drafting program, much less design it.
Yes lol
Nice project interesting as usual, had to smile when you talked about your version of CAD four or five years back I set out to made a motor cover for my lathe like many the rear end was in the firing line of chips. So I first made and fitted a card board version of the cover and today I came across the material I had cut ready to make a more substantial one so I thought better get on with it, when I took the cardboard version off I found considering it's age recon it could have done another five years. Is it because we're similar in age we think alike :-)
👍👍
That's a great use for it!
We have a macadamia tree in the back yard :)

Cardboard aided design! That's how I do it. I use the cardboard from the back of note pads. Yes, I still use note pads to write on!
lol
On video length and how long people watch.... 95% of the stuff I watch on youtube I run at 2x. Unless someone is a faster talker to start with then I may only run at 1.5 or 1.75x, but besides music, I don't think there is anything I watch at 1x. All of this to say, don't take the lower watch time too badly. Thanks for the content you put out, while I don't have the tools to do most of what you work on, still love the content. Great content that is outside of stuff I deal with all the time!
I don’t blame you. I have to speed some of them up to
Nice work. I too use the CAD that you speak of.....😁
lol
Is there a mix-up in the numbering of your Tips?
This video is #629 and so is a video in your series of how to do indexing (the one where you make flange nuts).
Just curious.....
I really like the videos and learns a lot from them - thank you :-)
Ups, I will have to look into that
I live in Texas and have about 8 Pecan trees, I do crack nuts! Our chickens love them as a treat!
I was just in Alabama a month ago, I love to see those pecan Grove’s
I simply love your work 👍👍
Thank you very much
Hi Pete! Greetings from Finnland. Thanks for nice video again. Carboard Aided Drafting! :D :D
Thank you for watching, from the good old USA
Sir we 40 year and older groups certainly enjoy your videos get your humor and disagree with you referring to yourself as old
I personally wish we could make copies of you no way to copy your wisdom and experience thank God for your videos hope the Smithsonian has copies love the steam engines. And ( if this doesn't sound too weird ) wish you were my neighbor please take good care of yourself and all. We Machinist think of you as a treasure
Thank you very much for a nice comment
That Starrett mic was what we used in the mill for several reasons: .001 accuracy was sufficient. Readable in poor lighting. Out of about 100 workers, less than 5 could actually read a standard mic.
Very good reasons
Your inside corners would be stronger with a radius. Square cut corners tend to crack from stress and vibration.
I got a free milling machine, its not a mini mill, but its tiny compared to a bridgeport, its got a nice coat of rust on some of it. Which videos should I start with to help me learn to not break the machine?
You will have to watch all of them, no particular order
@@mrpete222 ok, I'll watch them all. until 'someone' complains that her car wont fit in the garage because of those silly tools that I 'dont really need '
@@mrpete222 and more people than you know genuinely love/appreciate the knowledge you share on here
Love your videos.
Thanks
Mr Pete would you say the same attention ratio was present in your students? Some there for show and tell, others captivated and totally consumed ready to learn. And we do!! Thank you, from Calgary Alberta Canada.
Absolutely, sum we’re only there because they had to. Others because they thought it was the easiest class. And many others totally devoted
Need to make a trip to Streator and find the fountain of youth Mr Pete has been visiting. That finger was healed in the subsequent clip and not even a scar!
lol
@@mrpete222 Wait a minute was that the same finger that got cut off closing the guard/cover on the machine? Happy Easter Mr. & Mrs. P!
Do you find that little wood and brass folding rule (I don't know if it has a better name) to be a very useful tool? I have one in my collection but don't really know what its utility is.
Good job young fella
"The Rifleman" was a good show.
Yes
The first TV series featuring a single parent raising a child. According to the story, the child's mother Margaret (and wife of Lucas) died of smallpox in Oklahoma.
I watch "The Rifle Man" (Chuck Conners) all the time! Crazy thing is I'm not even 40 years old! I guess good t.v. is just that; good t.v.
I am 54 and most of my favorite movies are from the 30's and 40's. Mistake -- soon to be 54.
Yes, and I just finished watching paladin
Extree good Mr. Pete
Modern Technology is wonderful. Especially when it works.
And cardboard never needs batteries or needs to be rebooted. . .
Great video the rifle man when tv was Wholesome
👍👍
Mr Pete I never click off your videos early and computer drafting doesn't mean any more to me than a good manual design. If I were to make any request, and please know that I mean this as politely as possible, don't make too many chips off camera. Even if I know the techniques you are performing I watch your videos because I just like to watch the chips fly. After I watch enough chips fly I go out in my own little mini shop (yes I am jealous of yours) and make some more chips fly! Thank you for your channel and I wish you and yours a very happy Easter.
Thank you very much for a nice comment and happy Easter
Maybe a little radius in those inside corners?
interesting video as usual!
Thanks
You need a power drawbar on that Bridgeport.
