Mr. Pete's Shop Tour

During are drive north up to IMTS, we stopped in Utica, Illinois to visit with Mr. Pete and see his shop. We had a great time hanging out together as well grilling some dinner together a couple nights and even going on a hike in Starved Rock State Park. If you don't know who Mr. Pete is please visit his channel and give him a sub. He's a retired machine shop teacher and publishes weekly machine shop educational videos to help others learn about the machining trades.

Visit my second Youtube channel where you can follow our travels, camping, RVing, cooking, and bbq!

Mr. Pete is the real thing. What you see is what you get without pretense.

You two gentlemen are my mentors. Never met either one of you but I love you both. Thank you SO much for all the knowledge you have been generous enough to share with me. God Bless

This is one epic video by 2 great machinists of 2 generations and it's not out with the old and in with the new, but I'm guessing more than a century of craftmanship that each can teach the other about.
Thanks for a wonderful guys.

Mr. Pete was the first YouTuber I found when I was trying to figure out my new-to-me Atlas lathe years ago. Then I found some young dude named Abom who was doing his very first videos and obviously nervous on the camera, but he knew his trade extremely well. I've learned learned so much from both of you gentlemen, and I'm grateful to you both. Glad to see that you have become friends.

I enjoy both channels. Great to see two friends visiting each other and sharing time together. You both have inspired to be a better machinist and helping others to be their best.

As someone from Illinois. I appreciate that you pronounced Illinois correctly!

Mr. Pete is a gem.. and so are you. The respect you showed him goes so far into how we should treat not only our elders, but everyone. You showed a true appreciation even though the machines may be smaller than your shop. You recognized the knowledge, precision and time. This was a good one for us. Thank you.

This warmed my heart... I love Mr Pete. and everything that hes done for the sport.

Been watching and learning from Mr Pete for a long time. Since the beginning pretty much. Back when he never chose to have the camera looking his way. Just a Gem and a great teacher.

Mr. Pete is the sole reason that I have the shop that I do today… a union Ironworker for 25 years, , a cement mason for 15 and never realized how much I enjoy machining until I started watching his videos… thanks Mr. Pete…
