The Rustoration Podcast interviews Tom Utley of Von Industrial, also known to the restoration community on Instagram as KingTutley!

Tom creates machinery tags for vintage machinery and provides the listeners with a wonderful explanation of how the technical process of creating machinery "artware" has evolved over the years. The restoration of his personal South Bend Lathe was his introduction to the art and science of tag creation, and he brings us along for an incredible education on the topic!

Dave couldn't join for this episode (slacker) and James did everything in his limited powers to get the audio to a balanced and happy place, we really hope you enjoy this discussion!

Tom can be reached at his website https://www.vonindustrial.com/ (www.vonindustrial.com), go follow him on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/kingtutley/ (@KingTutley)! Tom, thank you so much for your time with us on The Rustoration Podcast!

The 2020 Rusty Recap: Lots of new additions to the Rustoration Crew family, new kids, new cars, new universal woodworkers. The boys recap a very weird year but a fun one none the less to launch the podcast.

Thank you to all our 2020 interviewees, we had a great time with you all. 2021 will bring more new and familiar voices to the table to talk all things rusty.

The Rustoration crew interview Jason Nix, "Tool Scrounge", talk about his journey to the restoration lifestyle, his philosophy on staying humble, and why the old ladies at the pick love him oh so much.

Lots of "honest" language, keep the kids earmuffs on.

The gang invites Zach the Upstate Tool Guy onto the show. Another NY voice added to the conversation brings the state rivalry to a balance, and Zach has lots of fun personal stories to share.

(the after show has more "passionate language" so kiddo earmuffs after the music rolls is advised)
