    Just saw one of your frames today jamming down Rt 137 on Cape Cod. Looked like a Huntsman, dark blue with white letters. Just thought it was cool to finally see one in the wild! Hope all is well with you and yours.

    I’d forgotten I had subbed to you already, so I was kinda surprised when this vid popped up in my feed. So excited! Your first video is funnier and more professional than most channels 100th video. I’m quite sure you are going to find an audience fast. Keep up the amazing work! I will be...

    OMG, Gregor. Once again you have introduced me to a tool I have never heard of but MUST acquire. Always been a time geek. Used to sync my Macintosh to the NIST time servers via modem back in the 80s. Off to google timegraphers! God, I hope they are cheap....

    Check out Buena Vista. Lots of BLM land and a big open valley for great shots of the mountains. The Collegiate Range runs down one side of the Valley. Plenty of mild to wild 4wheeling there.

    Gorgeous work as always! My only recommendation is to (if you haven't already) put your initials or a maker's mark and a date code on it. you may not think it's important now, but when he passes it on to your grandson it'll mean the world.

    Nice! Dying to get a lathe myself. Will have to keep it small, as I don't have the room for a beastie like that. Keep up the great work!

    Hey Kristofer, great meeting you at the show Friday! Nice to put a face to a name. Lots of cool bikes and other toys there. Believe it or not, guys, these bikes look even better in person!

    Hehehe. They don't call it an asshatchet for nothing. Seat time is the most important thing about getting back into riding. Gotta toughen the skin up, but good shorts and a good seat make a BIG difference. Been following your thread for a while. You're doing great work! Keep it up...

    2014 Garage sale thread!

    Hit a good one today. Retired mechanic closing up his home shop, lift and all. Everything was for sale. Everything was covered in grease and dirt too. Reminded me of the 'before' pictures of the Thomas' "Restored 1930's Auto Shop". Here's what I dug out of his boxes. Pic 1: Full set of Snapon...

    Norseman drill set group buy?

    Got my drill bits today. Packed well and looked great. Even had free cutting oil thrown in. These things make the rest of the bits I have look like cheap ****, which they are. Thanks PT and Patrick!

    Parker "275" swivel jaw vise, 6" of fine clamping goodness.

    That looks a lot like my 273, but bigger of course. Very early 1900s is what I'd say from my research. Not later than 1910.
