These men are as genuine as the machinery they are restoring! Thank you for your dedication.
Don Bergstrom, Jeff Williams and the Comstock Foundation for History & Culture and the amazing volunteers ROCK!!
Awesome piece of history glad it’s being restored...OSHA inspector would have a nervous break down 🤣🤣🤣
Oh dam where'd his finger go 🤣👍
Really cool place. It's amazing what the older generation could do with some gears and a few belts.
OSHA ? Where? Holy Sh_ _ 😱 😱 😱.🏃♂️.
@mama b OSHA said no masks. N95 helps a little but the rest including face diapers do nothing.
That was a bit of "Gold History" i thoroughly enjoyed ! Thanks for inviting us a along on your private tour ! I don't believe anyone can really appreciate the technology until they've walked among the remanants of these great machines of the past an the only thing that comes to mind "Is How the Hell did they do that" . Alot of the materials repurposed, most all handmade, hand cut, 😳 hand hewed beams, Sawed and chisled cuts that fit perfectly. Truly remarkable Craftsmen when "Men were made of Steel" !
Love the videos, keep'em coming, I'll be watchin' ! 😉🥶😁😎. BTW: If an OSHA/ MSHA inspector were to look inside that shop he'd get wet alright, really wet down both legs ! 🤭😜😂
Yeah, they act someones mother
Damn that Machine Shop is life in action Museum all by it's self. MOST COOL !
Flour mills in England used to do contract work for individual farmers also. Society was cool back in the day.
That's awesome to see history being saved instead of being erased
I would love to see that mill working at full speed. What a great piece of history.
Jeff, hope you will be doing a video processing that paydirt they gave you. Interested to know the grade :) Thanks
Thank you, Jeff! Wow! All that stuff working now is history on display. I am so jealous! Thank you for the tour too!
Man I love this stuff, gets my old blood pumping Jeff
One of the reasons I enjoy watching your videos is just how passionate you can see you are about all of this. Thanks for your videos!
My pleasure!
Finally glad to see the whole setup of the stamp mill. Have watched so many videos exploring old mines with maybe a couple pieces of a stamp mill down a ravine . Really glad you showed us the whole process. Just another reason to watch your fine channel. Mike M.
I found a piece of one way down a cut road , its crazy to find what they left behind
Imagine the Ruckus , Dust and noise in that place when everything was chooching ?
Yea u could say goodbye to your hearing and lungs working in there. Full respect to the workers that did that dreadful job
huh? i can't hear you. What did you say???
@@bigfootingermany what did you say????
GOOD LUCK on the Ore. Can't wait to see you go through that stuff. Always want to see the comstock
Great job Jeff. Good to see people restoring and keeping these running. Thx
It’s so nice that this is being taken care of. That was a great tour!
Wow I'm a machinist and that was incredible with all those pulleys and bellts.. OSHA would have a field day in there . LoL. ..I always learn something watching your videos ..love your vidio's >>> thanks for sharing. Danny
Beautiful place... still works and glad to see someone loving the place...So .. come on!!!! LETS GO!!!!!
Thank you Jeff it's great to see that the past is still alive.
Where do I start? History. Living history at every turn. From the stamp mill portions,to the heavy timbers, and worn down ladder rungs, to the bags of period ore, to the line shaft driven machine shop to the blacksmith shop. Heaven around every corner to me. Many thanks for this episode.
All this history being preserved is just amazing.. Jeff I can only hope that you get to come back and show us all when that stamp gets running. ... Thanks
Right-On thanks to you All.
Hey jeff that's awesome definitely on my bucket list love to see history an people saving it be safe everybody
That shop was amazing! I loved the way the power distribution system was set up for the power tools, a lot wasted energy, but still very cool indeed! Thanks Jeff and the crew at Comstock!
Wow, that's was an awesome tour ! Look forward to checking that out some day when they get it ready.
Thanks that was way cool , I have an old JD hammer mill for grinding up grain for livestock and it has a over head belt system similar to those , keep safe TANK
What a blast to have Jeff drop by the Mill! Our goal is to have a battery of 5 stamps operating by spring, 2021. Stay tuned. Thanks Jeff!
My cousins ran a turbine powered grist mill built in the 1880s. As a kid, I loved to watch them put the belts on the spinning rods and turn on the different machines. This video brought back great childhood memories. Love that old equipment. ...and in working condition no doubt.
Old school technology lasts! Great to see it restored!!!
Beautiful! Love that old machinery. Can't wait to see how your bags of ore from the site pan out!
Ah Jeff you have all the fun, im here just mining making a living.
That some Nice Stamp mills I heard them in the sixty's they are very loud used see bunches laying around no used to real nice Belt machinery actually used those in a Wool mill that still uses water with electric conversion on days when there's no water!! That's was a great tour Jeff I'm sure Slim will smell them Bags getting close uh!!!; )
One of the cooler videos I’ve seen from you. That working shop is truly awesome. Great work by the restorers and Jeff for presenting!
Wow! I can't imagine the noise. How I'd love to see (and hear) this in operation. What a find to refurbish!
Awesome job guys, I've watched the local mines in my area slowly degrade and it's heartbreaking to see history be lost like that. The machine shop with the gang shafts in the roof is out of this world, I've been a machinist for 19 years and all the young guys have never heard of such a thing let alone be able to see one in action.
So good to see mining/processing gear intact and not stripped out, wish I lived near would love to help, living in another country (New Zealand) doesn't help. PLUS love your work Jeff.
Glad to see Jeff got fans from all over the world always wanted to go to New Zealand I'd only for its beauty but boy used just got some of the finest pan and available I still can't find many more than flour dust for I am in Pennsylvania but still got Gold Fever😁💗
I just crushed my first rock with gold in the sumbitch. Happy day! I’m actually soaking up some of your skillfully delivered knowledge. Plucked this dude right outta the creek. Thanks Jeff

Thanks for the link Jeff. I will follow and support these guys.
That is so awesome to see them working to restore all that stuff! This is one of your greatest videos, in my opinion, loved just seeing the history of how they did things way back when and how well they built stuff was just insanely awesome. Now you know why all those guys in the 1860s and 1930's etc. were so dang solid and tough, it would take some massive manpower to get things built like that. "We totally live in one very Awesome Country"!
Love it.!! The machine shop is awesome.!! Especially for us "safty third" kind of old school guy's.!!
It's so nice when you're just talking like a normal person.
thats amazing finally some people restoring the good ole days and equipment i wish i could be a part of that group and help speed things up
That's awesome that machinery was made such a long time ago and it still works perfect that just shows you how craftsman ship has changed!!!
I don't know much about mining gold but I can tell there is a lot of history here and I hope it gets passed along to the younger generation so it doesn't get forgotten.
Wow i love restoring old machinery and woodwork this is to cool love it
The machine shop, oh my gosh!! I was starring like a kid in a toy store.. ha ha ha ha that is seriously so awesome.. i hope we get to know what you found in them samples. ;)
Thank you for the glimpse into this world. It’s awesome, way cool.
Jeff, that machine shop was absolutely fascinating! THANKS!
Glad you enjoyed it
Really enjoyed watching this video. As we all know, the old mines and mills are falling into disrepair and will soon be lost for ever. These guys are preserving that history so future generations can not just look at pictures, but actually see and touch the real machinery. Thanks for sharing this history with us. Now I want to head up there for myself!
thanks Joanne....... I know ...right and they are doing a great job too..... so you know what I am gonna say ...huh
So much increadable history and it's being preserved awesome to see, thank you for sharing this piece of history.
Wow, incredible....good video, Jeff...!
Thanks Jeff for the awesome Tour !
OH YEH , you gotta go back when its running that would be so cool. Thanks Jeff
Thanks jeff my mines going great. Like I said in the last one I couldn't have done it without you
Great to see all that Gold history.
really loved this walk through! Those guys are really dedicated to something that deserves being seen!
Thanks Jeff and Slim! 60 lb bag of ore!!!!
That was awesome.... Thank you Jeff for all you dedication.
My pleasure!
Amazing how much ingenuity the children of Europe had to be able to pioneer such amazing infrastructure.
That machine shop was awesome thanks for sharing that I always like watching stuff about history and it's cool to see the type of equipment they used to use to make the parts that they needed
Jeff and lela, what an awesome video!! One thing that I really liked was Lela filming a latter going up and you can see the wear in the rungs from many many worker of the past, most, if not all are no longer with us. You can imaging all the people from the past that it took to wear those rungs down like that. I watched a silent film for the Illinois Watch company, showing their factory making pocket watches from early 20th century and it was in a similar type of belt run mills and lathes. Very awesome. Jeff I sure miss you BS. Ive had a lot of issues but hope to be back soon.,,,
Wonderful to see museum staff who know what they are talking about. That looks like an old bellows top left at 15:39.
Wonderful adventure. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for sharing brother and thanks to the two men preserving the mill history god bless ya all
This is one of my favorite videos yet! When I’m out detecting and come across old machinery and tools I often wonder how they worked, that belt system to run the drills and lathes was amazing. Definitely had to watch yourself around that machinery lol. Now just need to shop vac all the spots ore might have fallen out! Thanks for sharing
The machine shop was awesome.
Excellent video Jeff. Hope you do a video on processing that ore. I would love to see the results. Also i love the geology lessons that come with such videos.
I love old machines and mines. Your channel is best
Can't wait for your video of you processing those 2 (?) BIG bags of ore!!!
Thanks for posting this Jeff!
Very cool to look back in time!!
Amazing history incredible wonderfully gifted men to restore all of that I have alot respect for companies.helping with the labor and materials...I was raised in a history rich place NY AND NJ.when i moved to AZ in 1975 seen Montezuma castle.and well I was in bitten by western history. These mines all over need to be preserved so many are filled in and houses built on them now..
Love the belt driven machine shop!
I would love to check it. Thanks Jeff!!
thank you Jeff
Wonderful tour, bringing history to life! Thanks for the explanations and examples, Just really enjoying the old stuff :)
Cool !!! History in action. Don't get to see that very often.
Great video Jeff Williams thank you .
Boss-Man, What an amazing visit to a working Hammer-mill and Smelter. I am catching the gold-bug...It's a mighty powerful bite! Thanks for sharing.
You got that right!
How cool is this! Thanks for the tour
Ahh! My neighborhood Jeff! My lair is right down the way. Awesome video of the Donovan mill. I was just climbing around in the Caledonia mill down the street a few weeks ago (short video on my channel). Fun stuff! Super big privilege to live with all this history around me! Keep finding that Au!
Sincerely, J.
Looking forward to seeing you process that ore.
thank you Jeff very cool.
Awesome job to the camera man, it was great to listen to the conversation and be able to view all of the different works at the same time. It gets both sides of the brain firing in unison. BRILLIANT! !
Hi Jeff, I just watched the video of when you visited Cripple Creek....Man, I would have been stoked to have met you and 4x4ed you around the parts of that area they try to hide from us gold sniffers. I live and grew up 27mi, south, down shelf road in Canon City, but have lineage up in the Creek, Goldcamp actually. My Granddad (1898-1973) used to spare with Jack Dempsey above the Victor firehouse in his late teens. He worked as an underground "go-for" in his pre-teens and could one hand roll a cig by the time he was 10. Then worked as a hardrock "2 foot hand drillman" before handling automated drills, all the way up to over watch by 20. Highgader-sp? has been rumored too....WINK I could go on and on, but i know he would have liked you....Thanks for all you share with us viewers, still searchin for my 1st nugget, but have some nice Calverite....
This one is a top 10 @jeff Williams!!! Thank you for this video
That was fun to see Jeff. Thanks
That. Was. Awesome!
Great video Sunny Jim I'm excited to know what's in those bags. And yeah I'm gonna watch the next video 🤠👍
Excellent! Love the history.
Nice tour thanks Jeff!!!!!
Heck Yeahhh -That Place is Awsum !!
👍🏻🤠🇺🇸
Jeff it sure would be nice if you could go back after the place is running that would help with the support and we get to see a running Mill
It was neat seeing the blacksmith shop working. That was cool. Great mining history there Jeff, thanks for the tour.
Glad you enjoyed it
That’s really great history and information.
Thanks for sharing this video .
I've dreamt of finding a place like this. Companies generally destroy or as of the early 90s began shipping everything to China with the contrition of NAFTA..
OLD factory Tooling Equipment and Tooling is Amazing.
I showed a friend how to make a Small Black Valve Cover out of a bunch of Aluminium Cans in the ground in his back yard.. Next thing you know, his eight yearold is over in the corner trying to make a form for one of his toys..
WOW once again a very vary cool great video Jeff!! Great job by you and "Your Crew!" Running History!!!
Well that is the way to do things. Belts and BIG Motors!! I love the old school way things work just like the steam tractos and threshing bees
Saving history! I love it! JJ
Yeah. That was fun.
I Always learn from your videos. Thank you very much...🙂
