- In the early 1900s, nearly every town in America had small machine shops that took thousands of ideas and inventions to the next level in producing and repairing the machinery and products that built the country. Before electric power became widespread, steam and water turned the wheels. This is a little adventure of mine into operating a small "job" machine shop on a daily basis using steam for power as it might have been in 1925.
This was the Heday of mechanical Engineering. Emeritus Professor of Mechanical Engineering.
I still say, " This shop is a mechanical work of art " Thank you Dave.
Always enjoy watching you work and seeing the old machinery. Nicely done Richard!
Steve here,bring back a lot of good things when I was growing up in the 1950s
David, great video, really liked that you showed us and talked about the steam powered hacksaw.!.
Enjoy watching, My grandfather used to let me "Fix" the belts in his wood shop, and also crank the blower on the forge, and build the fire to heat the wagon wheel bands, to shrink the wheel together. 65 Years ago. I loved it ! You take me back. Thankyou.
Dave, watching this channel is better than going to a museum, getting to see history is one thing, but here we get to see it in action! I've always had a love for the old ways things were done. I remember when I was a youngster, being in my Dad's blacksmith shop and learning that trade was awesome!
Love seeing those Old Machines Still Making Chips !! Keep them Rollin !
My real name is Michael McCluskey. I love to see antique machinery still in operation. I always loved steam locomotives and glad to see many have been restored and brought back to life. The best one so far is the Union Pacific Big Boy. It was one of the largest steam locomotives ever built.
Looks like all is well.Somebody has to keep the home fires burning and keep the rest of us on an even keel .Thanks again
I could watch this all day David ,Takes me back to the late '40s
these are the machines that started to build the world that we now live in, awesome
My first career, for about ten years was as an automotive mechanic. Watching you sometimes my hands feel what you're doing -- muscle memory kicks off and I miss it. That's been half my life ago.
Love that steam whistle. The shop has a calming steady noise. Cant beat the steam! Keep up the awesome work.
Bonjour Dave
I read all the comments and I still do not have the words to describe what I see each time I watch one of your videos Thank You
Sure liked the intro looking right down the 'bore' of it all. It just keeps getting better and when you get the damper repaired on the saw it'll be just fine! Thanks, Dave!
Very awesome! Preserving American History! While making some money, nothing wrong with that very cool!
Thanks for keeping steam alive and functioning in you line shaft powered shop. Here's to looking forward to another installment before your winter break in the sun belt. RichB
Look forward to and enjoy every video of yours! Great stuff! Thanks.
