@johnkahrs : My friend does have a nice shop and hopes to make it a bit dirtier Real Soon Now after adding DROs to the mill. I can't answer your questions about the paint, pretty sure he used a brush though. I have sent him your comment by email. For some reason, I could not use my iPad to copy your reply, had to fire up the desktop. Hopefully, he will reply and I will send it on to you. Thanks for the comment.

My friend replied to me: Hi Ed, The machine is circa 1967 and almost certainly coated in lead based paint. After 1974 all paint had to be lead free. I consulted with a Benjamin Moore outlet and they recommended a special latex primer to adhere to oil based paint and did a colour match to the original colour for the latex topcoat. Application was via a 4” roller for the most part, two coats of primer, two coats of colour. I really didn’t want to get involved in removing the lead paint and judged the over coating to be the best route. So far, it’s working fine. Stay well. P

Glad you enjoyed it

Thank you. Was intended more for the audio, of course. Hope that was what interested you.

Thank you.

I used to love cruising. Got too old.

Yes, truly lovable. More to come in April, May as installation finalizes.

Yea!

It is indeed. Thanks for watching and commenting.

Thanks! Old video now.

Derick is the local go to guy for tree trimming. I should have done a better job to show this team member moving from branch to branch like a ballet dancer.

The owner was delighted with the addition.

My friend is looking forward to using it, and his son too! I just do the video documentation. I enjoy it and will certainly show it in use. May or June timeframe likely.

My friend, the owner did most of the planning. I was the sounding board, and minor contributor. We are both graduates of the U of Waterloo, 1971. He, Mechanical, me, Electrical. His son is a Tool and Die maker and made significant efforts in the preparation, move, and reassembly. The entire crew had a great time, no arguments, and did a great job.

Glad you enjoyed the photos. The technical quality of cameras affordable by average folks in the first half of the last century wasn’t what we enjoy today. Scanning can sometimes improve the appearance. Most of these are from St. John’s, Newfoundland.

Next video: head onto ram. Done.

Hi. Nice to see you. Glad you liked it.

Thanks! Version with narration being considered. Subscribe and share this video if you care to.

My friend did a lot of prep work, disassembly, cleaning, painting. He consulted his fellow mechanical engineers, others, and me. We devised a ramp, order of operations, rented the excavator and crew, and you saw the fine result. We are planning a reasonable length narrated version. No timeline established for that yet.

Even better at the time. Great crew, and no injuries.

It went very well. Very happy with performance. 16 cores and 64GB RAM does a fine job.

Cryptic

Yes, my friend’s son is a tool and die maker, so it will be useful.

It was a while ago, but yes, quite lovely, on Vancouver Island.

These were used in factories, made in London ON as well as in the US. This one was used in a school and is in good shape.

Thank you for your sticking around. More to come, once I learn more about editing. Takes time, frustrating at first. Would be impossible without some good KZfaq experts, and even then it seems every word of every step must be noticed, used, and practiced.

Thank you and welcome.

Thank you!

Thank you for commenting. Unfortunately, I do not know what “promo sm” means.

Thank you.

Both my wife and I have been well throughout the pandemic. No Covid, no flu. 5 Covid shots so far, plus an annual flu shot. But, we stayed in a lot. Can’t do that old exercise routine any more. Eyesight excellent since Cataract surgery last January. Trifocals plus astigmatism correction. No glasses, except for wine…

Thanks! 😃

Welcome! I’m amazed and somewhat ashamed. I really must try to add some reasonable content for the 20 of you!

Kind of you. I have a lot of opinions. Most of them are probably best kept to myself! Still, it would be great if I can figure out some theme that I could embark out that would be both sustainable and interesting to a decent sized audience.

Thanks for subscribing. The pressure to make some videos is building. Fortunately, I have something or somethings to tell…

@@EdwardKilner Ed I like the pfp good news man I hope to see you posting soon :D

Wow that’s great to hear Ed sorry I didn’t see this sooner we’re glad to hear and can’t wait it sounds great :D

Have great health to come too!

Thanks Ed! We're all very excited to see what you have planned. Did the shot go well?

Thanks everyone. No drama with the flu shots, none at all. We got the Old Fart super strength shots. Looks like Covid-19 boosters will be coming shortly and we will be in line again after November 19. Hope the best for all of you - this pandemic is not over yet.

Very kind of you.

Glad you enjoyed it!

Thank you, I will

I am quite well. We were able to register for a COVID-19 vaccination at midnight last night. No appointment day and time yet. As far as videos, I am too likely to get myself in trouble with a rant against politicians and deniers. Still, I should write some scripts soon. Thanks for checking in and for the encouragement.

Glad to hear it Ed can’t wait to see what you put out there based off everything else I’ve enjoyed hope to see you uploading soon

Wow Ed I just stumbled on your message! I am very happy to hear about your condition and would love to see many videos in the future! :)

No idea what your comment means.

Thanks for the kind words. Stay well.

My apologies for not replying for such a huge time. Still learning...

Good for you. It’s easier some days than others, to be sure. It’s ok to be a bit selfish of your time for your health.

@@EdwardKilner alright thanks

Thanks. Never thought I would have that. Might have to seriously plan some videos. Test the water.

That was a long time ago. Daughter made a comment that struck me as funny.

Nice of you to say that. I apologize for not responding a whole long time ago now.
