  • Woo-hoo! I finally moved the lathe to my workshop and cleaned it, disassembled and painted. It's as good as new now and its second life began. See how it was ;)

    Those old lathes and milling machines are pure gold. Solid, dependable, and if maintained will run reliably forever. I am happy to see this one getting the attention it deserves

    Awesome! The color is yet debatable😂Imo every atempt to restore and keep old Machinery alive and at work is a good thing!
    I have about 30 small to big containers to seperate diverent stages and partsections of a project while cleaning/repair. this keeps it easyer to put it back together..

    First video of yours I saw was the how and why you got to do this video. When you said you could do anything if you put your mind to it, THAT rang a bell, exacctly what I believe too and have since I was a boy back in the 60'ies and 70'ies. Back then all I was told was : You can't do that, you're just a boy or later , you are not trained for that. If your mind is set to do what it takes YOU CAN. Wish I had a workshop like yours. So many ideas and projects in my head. Your dedication will prevail and make this channel grow. Awesome Lucia.

    • @luciasworkshop
      @luciasworkshop  Před rokem +3

      Марат, во-первых, мое имя - не Люся. Я же не называю вас Мишей, потому что мне так удобнее)
      А во-вторых, я думаю, привить это нельзя. Можно познакомить с инструментом и попробовать увлечь какой-то поделкой, которую вы сделаете вместе, остальное зависит от ребенка. Мне с детства нравилось делать что-то своими руками, при этом я никогда не любила играть в куклы, а вот казаки-разбойники с мальчишками и прочие активности вплоть до лазания по деревьям и прыжков с крыши на крышу гаражей - эт хлебом не корми )) Но это никто во мне не воспитывал, это моя склонность "от природы", и со временем это вылилось в увлечение инструментом и взрослыми "поделками" :)

    Old Soviet machine, i bet it is 1/3 heavier than western counterpart. I grow up with western and eastern metalworking machines and people from the west do not realize that eastern European and Soviet lathes, milling machines, grinders.... are on average better build than western one. There are some superb built machines from Rhula, WMW, Avia, TOS, Bullmak, Potisje, Prvomajska and Stankoimport branded ones.
    Keep up the good work. I have noticed that you also have nice tool room milling machine from Soviet times.

    These employed a lot of guys. I had a friend that worked on one one and then one day they informed him he was being replaced with the automated. They said he could keep his job running the automated one, but he wanted no part of it and retired. That was back when things were still being maufactured in the US. Things made in Chicago were considered to of the highest quality and people were happy and life was good. So what exactly is the economic engine there now?
