Hello all you sexy Patrons,

In my journey to provide you with the greatest content in human history, I have finally got my shit together and am going to start producing some more educational videos.  

I have been working on a japanning recipe for over a year and I think it's ready for prime time.  This antique finish is tough as nails and I am hoping the video will be as fun and informative as always.

Also,  I have some video ideas for remaking old tools from start to finish.  I have talked about this a lot on the Fitzall podcast, but in case you don't listen to that (you are dead to me), I am letting you all know about it now.  It should be a lot of fun to take an old patent document on a long-gone tool and remake it from scratch.  These videos will require a lot of machining, casting, and hand finishing so I better get to work!  Chris from Clickspring is helping out with one of them ;).

I also have a fantastic opportunity to restore an insanely rare (one of only 3 known) tool from a broken condition to like-new for a museum.  This video will be a bit different as I must use period correct materials and finishes to restore the tool at hand. 

At some point in the near future (no specific dates yet), I will be releasing some more collaboration videos as well.  Abom79 will be helping machine the crosshead to the new and LARGER power hammer.  Alec Steele will be helping forge the new linkage arms for that same power hammer.  Jackman Works will be making a massive (6ft tall) wooden HTR wrench.  Finally, This Old Tony will be helping machine some parts for an antique pasta making machine.

As always, THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH.  Seriously, without you all to support me, this channel would not have this type of future.

This is how updates should be written. All this is great news to hear, and I'm hype for what is to come in the future.

Cool and all, but will we finally see more scaling banana?

handtoolrescue

Clearly I should be showing more of it on camera. Maybe in the next videos I'll use it for scaling.

Eric, we love you like a fat kid loves cake. That is all.

Walker Turner Fan

That would help ALOT. I couldn't tell if the fish mouth shears were for a baby's hand, or a Giant's

Congratulations, I'm happy to provide some small help from Brazil, if you need anything from here, just drop me a message. I would love to listen to your podcast, but unfortunately as its in English I need to concentrate a little more to understand... can you make them in Portuguese? 😁 Congratulations and success. Oh can you check if Avon79 uses pancake on his head? 🤣 Best!

Benjamin Fro

Thanks for all of the content you put out! I would not have gotten into collecting and working with old machinery if I did not have your channel for reference.

Chad from ManCrafting™

While popularity appears to drive wealth in this day and age, I liked you and your work because of your principles. Don't lose that. Best wishes.

David Campbell

Cool! I must have missed the Fitzall podcast before, I believe that I just found it. Maybe post the URL for other newbies so that they can listen too? Thanks for all you do. Looking forward to the japanning info...
