Turn Wright Liquidation Pearl Gets Legs

The machines are moving. Keith Fenner posted nothing new this week, but his liquidation videos give this upload break a very particular context: Turn Wright Machine Works is winding down, with October 15 listed as its final business day and his retirement date.

The most active video is "Turn Wright Liquidation Pearl Gets Legs." Fenner describes accepting an offer for the Monarch lathe, Clausing lathe and K&T mill, then crating accessories and mounting the machinery on skids for shipping. These aren't just individual tools leaving the shop: he has been assembling machine-and-accessory packages intended to be ready for work at their next destination.

Another piece carries a more personal history. In "Turn Wright Liquidation Keith's Hydraulic Press," he explains that he built the press himself to get the design he wanted for job-shop work. He also points back to his older "Press Talk" videos, where the making of it gets a fuller explanation. The hydraulic-press upload and "Turn Wright Liquidation Monarch 12\" CK" remain among his most active videos, behind the shipping preparations.

The channel added roughly 4,700 views over seven days, while subscribers stayed unchanged. Its current daily viewing is below its usual level, and its weekly view gain was modest beside similarly sized channels such as Rinoa's Auspicious Travails and The Lawn Dad. For anyone returning to Fenner's collection, the useful detail is in the machinery itself: what he built, how he equipped it, and how he is preparing it to leave Turn Wright.
