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.

Mr. Pete, mighty impressive collection of functional life's work tools and materials. It's so nice to see a man who makes things and is also capable of dispensing the knowledge and techniques to those of us who also care about such things. I suppose it's just fine to have a collection of "you-name-it" that sits on shelves and does nothing BUT, it's so much better to display a "work-in-progress" collection of items that, with skills, knowledge and abilities added, can cause a transformation that can become just about anything.

Along with a brick of Lady Fingers and a dozen bottle rockets. Just for those odd projects. In 1972 I was working maintenance at the Midwest Foundry. We use to graze the scrap pile for odd bits of iron like cannon balls and the occasional length of 1/2" chain, but that's another story. One day I found a pile of heavy hollow bar stock. 3/4" bore and 2" od. We had already made air guns out of hydraulic tubing, so finding ready made cannon barrels was a natural progression. We tapped one end of a section about 12" long. Threaded a bolt in an inch and welded the head of the bolt. The next night one of thr guys brought in some black powder and fuse. We clamped it in the big vise, lit the fuse, and left the room. The maintenance shop was the former boiler room building. It was separated from the main plant by 24" thick walls. When the cannon went off the building shook. 😆

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!

I try to keep my files especially, and cutting tools like taps and similar devices in order in rolls and vertical or horizontal boards so they do not bang together and dull in the drawer and that I can take to the place I'm working, then return them to their home when I'm done. You can stack the boards in drawers It is a good way of selecting worn or excess duplicate tools or as a reminder to buy new ones. Sharp files are a joy! Thanks for reminding us to use handles on them. You might remind us of the dangers of rotating machinery and the possibility of tools or work becoming a projectile. I once launched a several pound piece of wood from my table saw at what must have been 100 mph or more, fortunately I did remember to stand to the side, and the wood hit the wall about 20 feet away without dropping an inch. I'm a mechanic by trade and try to allocate periodic blocks of time for cleanup and organization/reorganization. I cannot seem to do serious work and clean efficiently at the same time, I have to separate the jobs to some extent. Try to consider the cost of space, and time wasted finding things. I try to separate boxes of mixed nuts and bolts and other things from time to time by dumping them on a metal table, then sorting them into piles (using a suitable piece of scrap to save the fingers) with similar properties, length, size, thread, etc. or to find the one bolt I'm looking for, perhaps sorting a bit while searching. When finished, I sweep them into labelled boxes of the same category or into the scrap. Better to sort through ten items to find one than through 100! I try to keep suitably-sized PERMANENT labels along with a marking pen to label the boxes and new boxes. Temp labels tend to fall off after 5 years. Sometimes can I fix sagging stacks of heavy boxes of drawers by putting plywood between the layers to spread the load. Have you tried donating extra tools and equipment to schools? Enjoyed your workshop tour.THANKS!

It is packed to the hilt with Boxford AUD lathe (S/B 9a clone) mini mill, 2 drill presses, compressor,stick welder 2 belt sanders, bench grinder, mig welder, a horizontal and a vertical band saw + all my powertools, hand tools and stock. You learn how to store and make stuff moveable very quickly. If I had all my stuff out at one time I would need 5 x the space. (wishful thinking going on here).

Going back and trying to get caught up on the volume of your videos. I thought my basement was crowded with all my magic making equipment. I was lucky and got a bunch of shelving from an old CVS drugstore that my brother in law worked at. Yes, all my shelves are full. The joists have a lot of stock (8' to 12") loaded with things. At least with metal working it stays pretty clean. I remember my granddad doing wood working but it was always a mess. It is sad when we think about it that very few people want this stuff but these are our treasures. Hopefully, when the time comes the next guy will appreciate them. The strangest auction I went to was a small home maybe 40 x 40 with a basement a former drive in garage in the basement. He had all kinds of machinery. Bridgeports, lathes, drill presses etc....all driven from one drive belt and pulley system. Thanks for posting this.

Hi Mr. Pete, It's always nice to see someone's "organized mayhem" for a change. There were a couple of things during the video that made me chuckle. The first was when you opened one drawer and nonchalantly said "there's some cannon fuse, don't tell Homeland Security" and the other was my imagination running wild while you were wielding your pointer. All I could think of was shop class when the teacher would walk down the aisle, stop at Johnny Smith's desk, whack the pointer on the desk scaring the snot out of Johnny during his deep meditation, and saying "are we keeping you awake Mr. Smith?" (Not that it ever happened to me)!

Nice to see your set up in its entirety. When I polished molds for the plastics industry we used Foredom flex shafts. You wouldn't believe all of the different attachments there are for them. They were really the first industrial "Dremel". The one that I preferred using had a variable speed foot peddle and worked really good when using diamond compounds and nylon bristle cup brushes to get a mirror finish.

👍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 👍🇺🇸☕️

good day mrpete222, I thoroughly enjoyed the tour of your shop. Very close to the end of the video, you showed two sets of import hold-down clamping bars and hardware. Your comment was that you didn't like them much. I've had an import set like the one you've shown for many years now and it has served me well. I will say that some minor machine and hand work was required before I could use them with confidence. I will say that my US made tooling is better by far and I'm sure you will agree. Thanks for all of your videos. Your vast knowledge should be in videos for people to watch so their projects can be done correctly and safely.

Just found this channel, The name I recognized from the books. great to see the chromatic aberations in the new wide angle lens. it gives me a bit of sea sickness, modern lens designs have overcome this in all commertial products, I 'm sure later videos changed soon. Love the layout, I have similar rails for the plier type and screwdrivers/ punches, scribes. I hung hammers to an onerhead beam unril I tapped one off its pins jumping up and as I squatted down below the hammer followed me and bonked me on the donce. I have several books. Spindle lock on foot switch. nice. looking forward to watching more.

Mr Pete, dare I guess the small tool boxes I spied at 2:16 in the video are a past shop project? We built similar boxes in metal shop or "Industrial Arts" when I was in school. What a total shame these classes and knowledge are no longer offered.....
