Those models are wonderful. I wish the video were longer and showed more of these mechanisms.
Thank you
Thanks for this post. I was looking for some ideas for wooden tools in my small shop, and now I found it. Very clever
This gentleman is very inspiring. glad I found this.
He was true gem. Miss him everyday
A great guy and wonderful gadgets!
Great to see what a problem solving mind can come up with. I could just sit there all day cranking the handles and watching the varied motions. Thanks so much for sharing.
What interesting gentleman. Would love to see his workshop!

would like to have the plans for making these :o)
I live in Raleigh, are any of your projects in the Durham museum?
Do you have a plan for this?
What are the names of the 4 volume books 📚?
Most mechanically inclined people like a challenge. Heres a challenge for the poster of this video and George Newton, and anyone who thinks they can do it.
DESIGN a simple Water Ram Pump that can be placed at the "Point of use" instead of being placed at the bottom of the ram pipe. IN other words, the ram pump would be located many meters above the source of water.
NOTE: I know it can be done - I have designed it. I just want to know if anyone else is capable of this type of design.
NOTE #2: this is not "Fishing" for a great idea to commercialize. You can be sure of that because the market for RAM PUMPS is so small it is difficult to find even one customer to buy one!
+Harold Westrich you mean the waste valve is also above water soruce?
name 7?
