- Number 30 concerns the repair of an industrial punch press flywheel from a plant near here needed in a heck of a hurry. It was done in my replica 1925 machine shop under steam power. Thanks for watching, subscribing and commenting. Discussion about steam power, old machine shop techniques, line shaft belt drives, etc. always welcome. hope you enjoy it.

Always a pleasure to watch. Thank you
Always a pleasure
Thanks for sharing your machine shop with us again
Enjoy your show. When I was in school we had line shafts and flat belts to every thing. A big 50 cyl ac motor ran the line shaft and in the high school there was a corles Steam engine powering the generator that produced the 50 cyl power. I have a traction and enjoy the power of steam for the last 53 Year’s
now THAT'S a High School Shop......Dave
I don't think I'd have got away without a steady, with a job poking that far out the chuck :-)
Beutiful workshop. Very unique.
Reminds me of when I was a kid. One of my good memories of my old man was that he used to bring home his lunch baggies filled with shavings and filings of silver, brass, copper, aluminum, and once, gold. He'd give these to me, and I had a small safe I always kept them in with my coin collection. I gave them all to my eldest son a few years back.... I hope he finds joy in them. Thanks for triggering the memory, Dave - it's been hard to come up with a good one lately.
Great comment, thanks Mel.....Dave
@@davidrichards5594 I really get a kick out of your channel because of a couple reasons... I was raised around machinists - my old man and Grandpa and, in turn, most of their friends. Spent lots of time in the machine shops as a kid and was naturally shown things by the guys as they worked. Also, I've been a mechanic since 1974, have worked on cars back to a 1926 Willy Whippet, farm equipment back to horse-drawn, heavy equipment back as far as Caterpillar crawlers where the logo on the radiator shell looked like a caterpillar, aircraft back to cloth covered, and motorcycles back to the 1930's. I'm really enjoying the steam - always wanted to build myself a steam powered houseboat - I figure fuel would be pretty much free, considering most rivers have plenty of snags that could be cut.
@@maniyan_wanagi Build the houseboat Mel, time is short my friend.....Dave
@@davidrichards5594 Will you help me to figure size needed and to source an engine and boiler? I *think* I might have one last grand project left in me......
Great video, fantastic craftsmanship
I hope that you charge accordingly for the rush job, since it's so important to be done quickly. They can pay handsomely! You seem to have a lot of friends! Good job Dave.
That was pretty lucky usually I don't get jobs like that till it needs the flywheel rebored too. lol You saved the day for them.
It was well on it's way to that. .060" OS on one end....Dave
Can't tell you how much I enjoy this channel! Thanks
good to have you along Bob....Dave
Happy to see the old machines bringing in a little coin to help pay for their keep. Good one Dave. Cheers.
Great job! I love the fact that a modern industrial plant got the repair done by the "Old Steam Powered Machine Shop" !!!
Another great episode JUST when I was starting to have withdrawal pains.
THANK YOU!!!!!!!
There was a big saw like that in a job shop I worked at back in the early 80s that seemed it was always working its way through something big it was well worn and made a contestant "clickity pop thump, clickity pop thump it set the tempo music for a day at work. Best job I ever had.
thats where they shine ,the big chunks !
Dave, I enjoy your channel, you are the real deal of steam power, best to you from Nebraska !
Very glad to hear from you....Dave
Very nice job.
Even the electric hacksaw is a blast from the past.
It's been a great little machine, hard act to follow....Dave
Outstanding as usual. Thanks Dave
The new saw looks like an upgrade, glad you found it in good shape. Nice bush work on the flywheel Dave that should get them back in production.
Thanks again John...Dave
No thank you for Sharon glad to see you're still doing well nice little project no steam engine looks good sounds like it's running well take care yourself till next time be well
It always amazes me how quiet steam is, when it is not running any tools it sounds like a noisy wind up wall clock with a pendulum.
What sound it makes is quite pleasant.
Actually he has a wind up wall clock with a pendulum.
Actually he is playing pink floyds Time's intro non stop in the background
You prolly dont care but does someone know of a trick to log back into an instagram account?
I was dumb lost the account password. I would love any assistance you can offer me.
@Jared Ira instablaster :)
You did good.
Lucky they had you around--nice job!
Thanks for another great video. Can't seem to et enough.
Thank You for another great repair job.....
It's morning and a great video to start the day with....I starting watching this last night but I started to fall asleep because the sounds of everything running is so relaxing !!!
Thanks for the video.
Great video, Dave. Thank you!
GREAT VIDEO !!
Epic, Dave. ALWAYS epic!
Nicely done..
Good to see the old equipment still crankin out work!
Another great video, thanks.
If one looks under the head of the shop engine the steam leak looks like the shop floor is on fire at 13 minutes. Great video, thanks!
The sunlight is reflecting off the water in the catch pan under the engine & the steam is from the cylinder drains..Dave
I knew it was steam. Saw the catch pan in # 31. Just fun to watch so I thought some other folks might enjoy it. ;-)
This is so cool !
That's a nice press you have there. Thanks for showing the bushing work, I enjoyed it.
Thanks, great video.
great video as always
Thanks, Dave, for a interesting video that shows you don't need a computer for everything. It's good for us to see how it's done with the old machines. Some of us are rather old machines ourselves!
Looking forward to the next one on the saw restoration. Thanks again.
Thanks Joe, CZcams is all we need computers for....Dave
Joseph Magedanz is
Always lookiing forward to your videos. Glad you got another one in before heading of to the tropics again. Really enjoyed this one, as usually. Thanks for sharing.
If I only lived near you, I think high school me would have loved to assist you in your shop. I am from Racine, were that saw came from a 100yrs ago.
A lot of industry in Racine back then...Dave
Very nice job.
Jim
great show
...My last job as a 'maint-mech-electrician'.....I had a couple punch presses with flywheels like that, somewhat larger. Operators never set the die/s up with any clearance, so the 'clutch' just tore up the side of the wheel and the bearings....clutch pin went into hardened steel insets, but those, and the rest of the machine, still got hammered pretty bad...even broke a 3" cast-iron bolster plate in half.... Good job making that bearing real quick....!
we had a peddinghouse punch, that could punch 1" x 1 1/4" holes. we never ever broke anything on the punch itself. we did have a guy put the bottom die part in upside down, and that was a learning experience. It broke the die, and fed out a long turd of pressed together punchouts pressed together. don't do it!!
...Peddinghouse....yeah, heavy stuff....1x1-1/4"...couple hundred tons.... Years ago, around 1986....I worked as Elec-maint in big Steel fab shop....we had a 700 ton Punch press....punched 1-5/8" holes in 1" footer plates....slugs came out too hot to tough...! machine was very old...early 1900's, belt drive converted to electric motor....BIG gear on the main shaft, turned another big gear machined onto the edge of flywheel....
Quite the "animal".....Dave
Nice work Dave, fun job.
Best steam powered shop video I seen all day! Mega thanks!
Another great video
That big engine purr like a kitten when under load
amazing to see it work
Thank !
Thank you kindly for the ride on your time machine sir. : ^ )
Another great video! Thank you for sharing your shop and your talent. I like the way you line up the work on the lathe using your "Eyecrometer."
OK, now back to the saw project...that is when you are ready (ha ha). Thanks for the video; it's amazing how they had to do it back then and well, now, Greg.
Great Video
I really appreciate that you take the time to make these videos. It's easy to tell that you've been doing this a while
Always a good evening when I see that one of your videos has been uploaded and I get to see a new one. Love what you have done with your shop, and I really like the new big engine.
Great video, I really love the sound in your shop, I wish I could smell it to 😊
The other night we were burning old wood shingles to get rid of them, man that smoked the place up....Dave
david nice work.
Awesome Dave, I have watched all of your videos and always look forward to what you show us, it is simply mesmerizing to watch these old machines worked by a master. Thanks for what you are doing to keep them alive, wish I was closer so I could see them in person.
great use of the dro (direct read out operation) Grins
nice work
Wow! I'm lucky I stumbled on your channel,this is great! I like restored tools and equipment,and the pre 1925 shop is outstanding. I need more!
Rossco1948 is a you tuber that is selling power line that goes up on the ceiling for flat belts thank you for the video keep them coming I enjoy them all I apologize for not having the correct terminology for them
Dave, as always cool video. The new engine seems to be earning it's keep quite nicely.
Love it
Wow, What a great channel watching you repair an old fly wheel using the technology of my Great Great Grandad. what a great place you have put together.
Another great job the wood give her pulley looks out of place know use what you got but just too wide all the best thanks for your videos and taking your time to do them
Great job David. Photography is better all the time. Love your music too. ! Going to miss you this winter....😌 thanks again for sharing your shop and talents. Peace bro..
I'll be around...Dave
That was an incredible job well done. I am studying mechanical engineering now in university and this has inspired me so much to think innovative. Thank you for sharing this video with us.
As a kid I used to dream of using a Steam Powered Machine Shop but, now after being a Machinist for decades I would loathe it for multiple reasons. Still would love to pick up an old steam engine or Hit n Miss engine however
Missed my calling, should have been a machinist, everything you do fascinates me. Good to see making money with those machines. Thanks for sharing Dave.
Loved it David. I was a little surprised you didn't use a Steady Rest when you faced it and beveled it for the Center, but hey you got it done. Thanks for sharing I always take time out of my day when you post a new video. Best Wishes n Blessings. Keith Noneya
Keith:Just saving time, the rest was way out on the other end of the machine on the other side of the saddle. It was chucked up solidly, taking light cuts.....Dave
great video, especially given the need to get the job done!
I hope you're not in Florida already. It would be very interesting to see how
you 'lay up your engines and boiler prior to closing down for the winter" and of course
same applies to bringing them up again in the spring. I have seen reference to "laying up"
in the old books.
dale from Texas
Thanks Dale, I'll me here for awhile yet. I hope to get a couple videos ahead to put up during the winter months...Dave
The new, old engine seems to play a different tune than the small engine.Great video David thanks for sharing your wonderful shop and machines.
Ahhh, I got my steam fix for the week. Now I can move on to other things. 8-)
H David what a great channel I have been binge watching all the episodes of OLD STEAM POWERED MACHINE SHOP caught up now and look forward to every one .... I have been to Fl Flywheelers show a couple of times Portland the Worlds Largest Engine Show many times Really enjoy the series keep up the great job ... OBTW Just a suggestion it would aesthetically pleasing to the theme of the 1925 shop you should make some wood covers that look like old fashioned hooped barrels for your plastic feed water barrels Thank you for preserving the past for the future ....
Working on getting some wooden barrels....Dave
We have a 1914 Robertson No 4 power hacksaw that has hydraulic lift and coolant = can,t live without it ............
Great machine...Dave
Thank you for another wonderful video. This one seems even more evocative than others somehow. It's a great thing you are doing, recreating this way of working from another age. Also, thepillar drill may be the real work of art, but that ad you posted at the beginning of the video is a real triumph of illustration. My uncle was an industrial illustrator, in a period perhaps 30 years after yours, but when it was still a man, a pen, a drawing board and a lifetime of skill.
I really appreciate the old machinery ads and the choice of wording had real "class"......Dave
David, really enjoy your videos.!. Like to see more about your progress on your steam powered hack saw.?.!.
Next video, I got a little ahead of myself there, but thought you might like to see it since it's in use....Dave
WONDERFUL! Always anxious to see the next episode. Your video formula is way ahead of the rest. That overhead door has got to go....in my opinion....just so happens, I manufacture the old horseshoe rollers for doors copied, rivets and all, from a real old one I found on my shop. I can make up a pair and a custom rail for a competitive price for ya. I can send photos to an email address. I see ya have some rollers up above.
Josh: It's an 1870 carriage barn had upper and lower sliders on both sides. They were made out of 1" tongue & groove and were extremely heavy. The addition got put on the front and with the smoke stack there is no place to slide them. ...Dave
Aw shucks....yer better off anyways (:
You really have to keep track of your appendages in that shop. 101 ways to get tangled up.
That machine is harmless to our mother nature.
Wow!
"Timeless" techniques.
Great video Dave!.....just love the entire steam powered theme and machines ...The entire concept seems to appear as "laid back", but in reality, it's probably a race to see who or what runs out of steam first, once the wheels are spinning .....surely they had a steam powered press back in the day! .....that would be cool, along with a steam powered generator!
Brass or bronze ?
Nice video showing once more what the old machines are capable of. And all that to the sound of the "new" shop engine under load. What is going to happen to the smaller steam engine?
I may have missed it but I would love to see how that lathe is engaged and disengaged from the line shaft . on some future video,
I will be watching (as usual) with interest in the Racine rebuild, as i am rebuilding a power hacksaw as well.
For some reason i have always pictured it cutting on the push stroke.... and then i see your little one cutting on the backstroke??
Thanks again for another lesson mate.
If you cut on the back stroke you save wear on your vice, and the whole width of the back stop takes the load. Just make sure your blade is the right way around, and the motor goes the right way so it lifts on the return and not on the cut!
Mark Avis thanks mate. It'll be running off a lineshaft belt, so wont be to hard to turn either way. And the lifting eccentric is easily reversible
First time I remember you shoveling coal into the boiler, mostly I remember you feeding it split wood. I used to help my grandfather cut up wood and pry apart wood crates to burn in the steam boiler that provided steam heat and hot water to the six flat building. The wood was anything we could scrounge up to supplement the coal stoker. We moved before
I grew big enough to shovel coal from the big bin to the stoker. The wood just left soft ash, the coal left hard clinkers that had to be broken up to remove. Even though it was going to be burned, my grandfather would make square saw kerfs so smooth with a hand saw you could count rings, when I asked him why, he said to keep in practice in case he needed to make something. Where do you keep your coal? We had a coal chute to the basement and a 20x20 coal bin. Mom was not happy the day I explored the coal bin and emerged full coal miner appearance. Sixty-five years later, I would love to do it again.
James: You got that right. Coal is a pain but it takes less playing around with the fire. I use it with junk wood too...Dave
I guess cheap coal is cheap coal...Dave
Is that Anthracite or Bituminous coal that you are burning in the boiler? I am a director at a local historic railroad. A couple weekends ago we had a steam engine brought in to pull excursion trains. We had to get a load of Bituminous coal for it, apparently Anthracite could not be burned in it. It was a small switcher engine built in 1925 and the owner brought it on a drop deck trailer and off loaded it right onto our rails. Pretty neat. My two young kids really enjoyed the ride, especially when the engineer blew the steam whistle at the crossings. Nothing like the sound of a stream whistle. durr.org/
Hi Dan: I've tried to burn Anthracite coal with poor results. It requires much more draft, and gives off it's heat at a lower rate (less volatile) although it is said to have more total heat energy per pound than bituminous coal.
I have been given hard coal and used it mixed in with soft coal. When railroads started using it, the locomotive fireboxes had to be designed bigger and grates changed to burn it hotter. ....Dave
Lové the new shop engine, will you get time to give it a coat of paint, great video, cheers
You might want to think about mounting a sheet of tin or galvanized between that steam outlet and your wall so the steam doesn't warp the wood. Just a thought.
Unusual to see you do a rush job Dave. I'm guessing you ordered what looks like double the material needed for the job, just in case something didn't go right. Richards engine exhaust sure sounds crisp, I guess it will never get loaded up enough to really bark! Can I still hear a slight noise in the valving eccentric bearing? Any updates on the Morris engine?
As always, a great video Dave & this one showed me how a machinist running a small shop in the day, had to have his mind & ear on many things, boiler pressure, water management, did I oil that bearing etc etc. Finally, nice to see more shaft driven equipment being restored for commission into the shop, just love the channel Dave, keep the vids coming.
Thanks for the comment Mike, They ordered the brass and shipped it here. I think they have another one that's getting wobbly. I found the noise and will explain in the next one. Working on the Morris rod now....Dave
Hi Dave Richard, I am a learner machinist at 75 and enjoy watching and learning from you guys. I do have a D T I for centering the work, but next video, can you please take a close up of the centeri ng instument (gadjet) you are using. I am intriqued by it reagards
Check the g+ page by clicking the red circle on my channel title page. Scroll down and you will find some photos and explanation of it. It's actually an indicator 130 years old. Thanks for watching....Dave
Thanks for new video, David! New steam engine more quiet than old, i'm right?
Лайк как всегда.
Great Job Dave! That new engine runs great, when you going to put some paint on it?
Dave, at the end of your season could you do a video of your shutdown procedure? Draining the water and coating the metals to prevent rust and do you back-off the adjustments so when the machines expand and contract from temp changes? Also, all you have to do in the spring.
Excellent demonstration and quick fix, thanks.
he makes it look easy, but i am sure there are lots of necessary procedures to follow. i really admire this guy and his craftsmanship.
That’s a great suggestion.
G'day Dave the Racine bandsaw looks terrific especially when it's restored. The new steam engine is pretty quiet for its size and power and to see it running great and judging by the exhaust beat it's in good timing. I noticed that you using coal is that to do with temperature over wood? Another interesting video and it's good to see that paying jobs are coming through, thanks mate regards John
Are you going to paint the new steam engine someday? Great video. Keep them coming.
Please always send the videos with a subtitle file so that it can be translated into Portuguese
What Dave didn't tell anybody was that it was 85F OUTSIDE when he spent the day repairing the flywheel. The most expensive, and cluttered, sauna on the planet.
It wasn't that bad. Just think how great it'l be around here in the middle of February....Dave
I'm surprised that chain MFG shop didn't have it's own internal machine shop.
