Great to see I am not alone in collecting multiples of every thing!! My dad always want me to take scrap wood and I alway say "I have a perfectly dry well organized collection at the lumberyard" And for screw etc; "I keep all my screws at the hardware store" always in good order!

If shop class gave out letters in high school I would've been a 4 yr letterman. Electric, engines, wood, mechanical drawing and machine shop. Took them all and use information yet today that was learned there. Not everybody should be a paper pusher or desk jockey! Kudos Mr Pete!

That was a honour to see your shop setup. very much enjoyed. Thank you for sharing.

Thanks for the tour Mr. Pete. Once I show this to my wife she can never call me a hoarder of tools again. Hopefully you've just saved me from years of complaints about buying tools.

Being surrounded by what you love is wonderful - Thanks for the tour.

You Tube suggested I watch this video tonight and I was pleased to get a personal tour through your shop. You keep a pretty tidy shop even with ll the tools and equipment. Thank you for sharing this....

As one gear head to another, thank you for sharing your private home shop with us. I am continually fascinated by this bug that bites us and causes us to be one of the few idiots in our village whom seems to have no restraint for lathes, mills, tools, and the like. It's not hoarding if its not out in the rain, its organized, you know how to use it and do, .. it's a collection. I seem to have been on this path for quite some time now and wondering where it is all going and what it is all about. Your shop tour helped me understand a little bit more about my own quest. Thanks, Mr Pete for all that you share with us. It is truly amazing how much creative energy can come from such a small sq/ ft.

Enjoy your videos! The basement tour was great. Let me share some thing I learned from a fire investigator. House fires tend to burn slowly until they come in contact with a flammable liquid. They then accelerate and quickly destroy the structure. Lesson learned: Move out excess flammable liquids and aerosols. Store the rest in an enclosed metal locker away from the furnace and hot water heater.

What an inspiration to see your shop. I'm a recently retired machinist/tool and die maker. I have just bought an old Carroll-Jamieson 16" x 72" lathe and a 1954 model round ram, J head Bridgeport for my home shop because I miss my craft so much! Thanks again for the tour! Tree Top

Mr. Pete - very nice video. Thanks for showing your basement shop. Truly you have a passion for your machining! I really respect that because I feel the same way about my work and hobbies.

Your videos are well produced, and it is not obvious that you are working in a small area. You have to be well organized to effectively use this many tools in a small shop.

You have humbled me by how well you manage to preform so many projects in your basement, while I struggle to accomplish what I want in a large barn! I understand about the bolts and hardware. I also have many boxes of fasteners I got here and there. Some days when I am feeling bored, I sort fasteners. That's my version of "fishing" you might say!

Thanks for the interesting tour. Finally great to put a face with the voice. Reminds me of listening to someone on the radio and imagining what they might look like; which never coincides with reality.

[majorpayne]

👍Nice! Your basement shop puts today's so called hardware stores to shame. I too have a nice (1942) Waller-Turner DP. Got it years ago for $200. Runs true as new & much better than today's new ones. Thank you for the show sir 👍🇺🇸☕️

Not a wasted square inch in that shop...thanks for the tour, loved it.

[porker]

Great collection of tools. Thanks for the tour. I love looking at other peoples shops particularly when it doesn't look like an operating theatre and has been 'lived in'.

[cougarhunter]

Thanks for the tour, and the appearance in front of the camera.

I recently stumbled upon your channel, I am drooling over your knowledge and equipment. I am graduating in a month with a mechanical engineering degree, and it's people like you that I really look up to. I sincerely appreciate the time you put into your videos, you have taught me a lot. Thank you

[kat]

WOW! Lyle, you have a great shop. Also I think this is the first time that I've seen your face on YouTube. (Although we met up in Elgin, IL.) Thanks for sharing!

[arthurad]

Just to use each one of your tools once would probably take a life time. And as such one would become a Master. It was a pleasure watching a true Master's life tool collection. Thank you for sharing with us all.

[tolydukhovny]

thank you very much, mr. peterson, for inviting us in for a tour -- lots of nice machines and very enviable collection of supplies!
i'd contradict the famous texas motto: not everything that's bigger is better.
i like your shop, for it is cozy and well suited your mission.
thank you for the video,

I can't help but wonder if there is some sort of way I can navigate myself into being adopted by tubalcain so that I can somehow inherit his undoubtedly amazing tool collection.
