WHAT IS IT mystery tools #113a Question tubalcain mrpete
A usual day on mrpete222 brings in around 15,000 views across a shelf of roughly a thousand shop videos. These seven days ran a little warmer than that, near 20,000 a day, and the reason is easy to spot: a new round of the guessing game.
"WHAT IS IT mystery tools #113a Question" is the latest entry in a series the description says now holds more than 200 videos. The format has not changed in years. Mr. Pete, who signs his work tubalcain after the biblical forger of bronze and iron, holds up an odd old tool and asks the comment section to name it. The answer comes later, in a part b. Two days in, it is the video moving fastest on the channel.
The other upload closed a project. "MILLING A CASTING ON CLAUSING MILL pt 6" finishes the run on the Clausing horizontal mill, and the casting has become a working vise. Viewers write that it got them back into their own sheds, and several approve of the plan to give the vise to his grandson. A few praise the safety reminders and the notes on direction of cut. One asks for a follow-up on running a horizontal mill without an overarm support.
The subscriber count held still at 325,000. Among similar DIY and home channels, Dreamy Interior and Melt TheStress Out are the busy ones, with views in the millions each day. mrpete222 sits mid-pack, a lathe-and-mill classroom working at its own pace, with an older cut-off tool video still finding viewers.

On a horizontal milling machine, what holds the cutter as it spins?
Horizontal mills mount their cutters on an arbor, a shaft often steadied by an overarm support.
