I'm so glad This Old Tony's grandson follows in his footsteps

[xyzconceptsYT]

One thing is for sure, this channel doesn't belong in the box of shame! Keep up the great work!

Hey Brandon! Fantastic channel!
Just to help fill in on dad, (your grandpa), very early on he worked in a number of automotive machine shops doing any number of machine operations on engine blocks, cylinder heads, etc. Being the sharp guy that he was, he got involved in drag racing & circle track racing. He and uncle Ron, (his brother), built some very competitive cars. They were also engine and chassis builders for a guy named Paul Day who raced a 1933 Willys called the "Agitator". When he started at Ford, he was a tool & die maker. At some point, (and I'm not 100% clear on this) he was offered an opportunity to take some test with a number of other machinist, tool & die makers, & maintenance folks. He was the top scorer & they promoted him to a process engineering position. He did all of this on a 9th grade education. A super smart guy, dad was! After being in engineering for quite a number of years, he wanted to go back into the shop and use his hands again. Again, I'm not 100% on this, but I believe he went back to tool & die making & machine repair. Then moved into the CMM room which is where he was when he retired from Ford. Oh yeah, in another video, you talked about the workbench dad built. He built that in the early to mid seventies. I remember because I wasn't quite a teenager yet and I helped him assemble all the lumber on it.

Its time for the Universities to admit that the HANDS OFF approach to teaching Engineering is not doing us any favors. You can't build ANYTHING without getting your hands dirty. Thank you Inheritence Machining for getting us dirty!

[chriscraven]

Love the format of the channel. Beautifully paced with really clear camera work and narration. I think you hit your target.

[MadDirtMonkey]

It's been great to see your channel grow, I remember seeing your mill restoration video pop up on my feed last year and I've watched every video since. Thank you for all the time and effort you put into your videos 😄

[HouseGurke]

My favorite channel right now. Your channel is like a combination of the precision and quality of Clickspring, some machinist humour from This Old Tony, hands-on knowledge from the old videos of Abom79 and the production team of Cutting Edge Engineering with your wife helping with your channel.

[veroniquemasse]

Hi, I miss your wife's videos! I loved how she was passionate about the history behind a project, the excitement about a find and that the house spoke to her! That how I learned about your channel. Take care guys!

[mattinkel]

Congrats on the full time ! Before you know it you'll have Box of Shame Plushies, and fridge magnets

Cool your lady is so supportive :) we thank her for all the work she puts in behind the scenes .. she sounds awesome.

As a freelance realtime court reporter in my previous career I was fortunate to take verbatim testimony from many hundreds of engineers over 22 years and out of all the lawyers, doctors, and highly educated professionals I took verbatim testimony from, the engineers were the most enjoyable to work with. They were the most practical, the most honest, hardworking, respectful people you ever wanted to meet. No baloney, no lies, no manipulation, just plain facts and straight-to-the-point responses. Wonderful people. I never met an engineer I didn’t like! Keep up the great work!

"Putting together presentations that are thoughtful and make sense and people actually want to watch is really challenging for me."
Well I for one think you're doing a wonderful job, so kudos to you and Paige both.

[tinaoneil]

It was nice to hear Paige at the end of the video. I enjoyed her channel.

[JohnSmith-xjgq]

I really do enjoy the large multipart videos. The sine plate and radius plate are among my favorite videos.

[silvertek]

I never would have guessed that you weren't a presenter/talker. your videos are so professional, entertaining, and educational. You're sense of humor also is shining through the more videos you do, kinda gives me a Blacktail Sudios vibe, but with metal. Its great to see your channel grow.

Love the work keep it up. Cant get enough!

[ericlyons]

The behind the scenes planning/effort definitely pays off on screen. This is a great channel 👍

[donaldknapik]

Love that you hand draft your prints. That is a true lost art. Thank you to Mrs. Inheritance Machining for creating a great showcase for your work.

[Ssenseii]

My favorite youtuber this year. thank you for everything !!!

[DudleyToolwright]

As a fellow Youtuber and engineer (electrical), I am amazed at the expansiveness of your process. I am always focused on the project, procedure, and science and everything else falls by the wayside, mostly because of the time it takes. Your discussion of the time consuming process of making a video was telling. The ironic part, is that I have worked in the movie industry for 35 years and still produce amateurish content. Love your work. Keep it up.

[Sneder]

The outro bloopers are so fun, really get's my parasocial instincts tingling

[margaretfinney]

You’re so blessed to have a wonderful grandfather, growing up.💕 I bet he is so proud of you and smiling down on you. God bless you always.
