a fellow named Dave Richards has a Youtube channel called “Old Steam Powered Machine Shop”. It has always been one of my favorites. In his latest he shows a “here is my shop and these are my machines” sort of vid and is to me AWESOME. if interested, this is the latest video
If you like it, check others on his channel.. it is worth it. -Bart

Have watched one of them several times. I sure would like to rebuild that damn knocking rattling steam engine. Steam engines in good shape make little to no noise at all but his sure does. He has a lose big and little end bearing in the rod and I think the main crank bearings need to be re-babbited. All you should hear from a good steam engine is the bark of the exhaust. And in some cases you can actually hear the piston sliding up and down the cylinder bore. Dennis

Only you…would notice. :) Dennis you are ONE of a kind! Ya gotta admit he has a damn fun old shop. My grandad had a line pulley arrangement in his shop back int eh 50s but that was a while back. This guy still knows the tricks. Heck I have a belt staple (and a single old row of staples) just in case :) I KNOW what they should sound like but dang HE STILL RUNS THEM! give him credit!…. God speed my dear friend.

Oh don't get me wrong Bart I did enjoy his shop and what he has done. And
the fact that he still uses all them old machines. You did not mention the
video I had in my post did you not get it? Spent the last two weeks in
Florence and I took about 80 percent of the parts to a that SB lathe you
helped me move. There all painted and starting assembly of sub assemblies.
How something so old has survived in basically brand new condition is a
mystery just like three of my Daltons. Have not a clue as to what I will do
with this lathe but I am sure enjoying restoring it. It's fun to find
something that's 87 years old that's like the day they built it. As I
mentioned this lathe came from the prototype shop or the Engineering shop as
I have been told it was called. Anyway this is the shop that worked
developing the new models South Bend was building. That explains all the odd
parts as some of them look to have come from a older model that was already
assembled and parts taken from it for the one they were working on. Anyway
guys sorry for Bart and my conversations on this site but our email servers
hate each other and will not let us talk by regular email. Hope you guys
enjoyed the little video of them model steam engine I built. It is the most
difficult one I have built and there was over 200 hours of shop time
building it. To say it was a challenging project would be an understatement.

Sorry folks, Dennis is having computer issues and I cannot contact him any other way. He does recieve the posts from the group but I have like 5 email addresses and NONE of them get thru to him.
Dennis: no I did not see it. I have replied or emailed you many many times but alas they seem to go to the great beyond. Would love to come see you again but not till next month when I can afford the gas and maybe to rent a flat bed trailer. Your restorations look better then factory new by the way… Your shop is like the ultimate Dalton Mecca.

machines except money. ?Old saying about two machines that are so darn slow but
that is where the machine tool industry started back before ?the 1850’s.? The
other saying is when material was expensive and labor was cheap.? There is a
little town called Verbort close to where I grew up. Till the day they shut it
down it looked like this shop in the video.? It was an old school line shaft driven
shop and ran up till about 1970.? Dennis

Dennis yes a shaper is not a modern CNC but they are just so darn COOL! ?Another channel called ABOM79 ?had a series about a job shop fellow named Adam Booth restoring a ?(I forget is it is a G&H or a Smith and Mill) ?Shaper. ?But a really large one. ?Adam ?is a 3rd generation machinist ?who grew up in a shop ?and knows his stuff.

?First time I ever saw a line shaft shop was on a ranch in Texas. ?My Grandfather had a ?lathe ?(I was young, forgive me I have NO IDEA what kind) ?and a bellows for his forge run off one hooked to a hit and miss engine. ?He was a retired oil refinery worker who had a small ranch. ?

My last shop had a 16" shaper used only for a blind 3" key . Took about 20 hrs a piece at $500 a pop. Also had a baby planer used to machine the edges of a 6' cylindrical mesh basket for assembly. Could do 2+ a day for $150 a piece. Shop closed a while back.? Don't know who does the key now but the last quote on the basket was $5000 + each on a machining center.
