    This place and the very few places like this should be protected and preserved forever like a national monument. Times and technology have moved past these living breathing relics of history but it cant be forgotten

    Adam - One of the best things about your videos, aside from the fantastic content is that for people like me, just an Englishman looking in, it is so nice to see a window into America that’s full of great people, doing great things for each other, especially in these unsettled times, all we see in the news is hate and confrontation at the moment. Thank you for showing your country in such a positive light. You seem like a thoroughly decent man. Love your channel.

    There's a Railway workshop In Launceston, Tasmania, Australia like this, the workers just downed tools and everything is where they left it as they left it, just a perfect snapshot in time. Thanks for the video.

    That place is just awesome. There's something about the spinning and reciprocating motion of these old steam machines that is just mesmerizing. Maybe that's why we like machine shops, much of the same movements. 😉

    I saw a video of one of those steam tractors pulling a competition sled.It pulled it to the end and the sleds nose dug into the ground and the tractor kept pulling it. All at 2 mph.The owner of the tractor said it would pull it through hell if it had to.

    Man, this is a nostalgia feast! I was born and bred in the industrial Midlands of England 73 years ago, and my town was filled with foundries and workshops just like this. Back then we relied almost entirely on manufacturing industry for the country's wealth - alas now it's almost all gone. But for myself and my contemporaries manufacturing and metal work is in the blood. Thanks a lot for this, Adam - really appreciate your efforts on our behalf!

    My Grandfather worked for Chicago Tool and Die, he took me as a boy when it was OK to take your sons to learn a trade. We need that atmosphere again. We need men like you in our Country again.

    Excellent tour of the machine shop & foundry. I too just love these kind of places. What makes it much better is when you have a partner that enjoys it just the same. My wife is an engineer so she loves these tours as much as I do. Its great to do these things together. We spend a lot of the summer months going to steam shows and displaying our collections for the public to see and get a feel of bygone years. Thanks for sharing Adam & Abby. One of your best tours yet. regards from the UK

    What a fantastic video! After subscribing to your channels for your Big Haul series, I decided to go back and check out some of your older videos. This series on the steam-powered shop is wonderful as I have always been entranced by steam power ever since my dad took me to threshing bees powered by huge steam engines, and several times to the Oklahoma Steam & Gas Engine Shows in Pawnee. Thanks very much for posting these.

  • @binderstem31
    @binderstem31 Před 5 lety

    Thanks for sharing. Great video and photos. Really love old factories and shops. Amazing what was accomplished without all of the modern technology we have today. I can only imagine the amount of skilled and talented people that worked there. Had to be something to see back in the day.

  • @rosswaring2835
    @rosswaring2835 Před 5 lety

    What an amazing place. So good that they have kept it all together and working to show the machines in action on live steam. So many are static displays now due to costs and lack of skilled support. I’ll be visiting there next time I’m in the US. Cheers to you and Abby!

    What an amazing place, Mrs Abom seemed to be loving too. The UK used to full of works like this but we have no space left for history, we just knock it down and build houses. those tine engines were fantastic, I'd love to build one like that.

  • @BobJones-cr1pl

  • @silverbullet7434
    @silverbullet7434 Před 5 lety +1

    Absolutely beautiful and brilliant shop. If you think about it this type shop built America and made us the greatest . From castings with makers names seems every state had great foundries and built things used all over. I really don't think there's a twenty foundries nation wide. Thanks for sharing ill never be able to see places like that but here I can live vicariously through others generosity. Thanks Abby and Adam

  • @charlescompton4495
    @charlescompton4495 Před 5 lety +1

    Great video Adam! I noticed the brick floors, in Portsmouth, Ohio there were many brick streets. When the tops became worn they would take the brick up and turn them over relaying them. The base they were on was sand. The streets that had little tragic had grass growing up between the brick. A mite slippery especially when it rained. A lot of them have been replaced or paved over with asphalt. We had three casting companies in my lifetime. One specialized in stove parts, another brake parts and the other specialty items like turbocharger housings. I got to help lay the block on an addition on the last one. Great tour and thanks to both of you for making it so interesting. Greg

    Abom that is a very cool place. Many years ago I went to the Machine Shop at the Norfolk Navel Ship Yard with my father and he showed me around. Most of the machine were very big. I thought it was the coolest place and he let me start and run a couple of the machines. It is still a great memory. Thanks for sharing.

    Thanks Adam really enjoyed the tour. I worked 30 yrs. in a paper mill in Longview Wa. It was built in 1920's, brought back memories of when I started. I spent two weeks in the babbet shop pouring bearings and scraping them as part of my apprenticeship. Lots of memories of the old mill and machine shop. Love your channel thanks.

    • @Josh-wq2lr
      @Josh-wq2lr Před 5 lety +1

    Hi Adam.I enjoy your channel, thanks for the videos. If you ever get up north, and you enjoy steam engines like I do, you should check out the Rough and Tumble Engineers Historical Association in Kinzers PA. They have a large assortment of stationary steam engines and steam traction engines. They plow ground with the steam tractors in the spring, which is a real treat. They have a working steam powered machine shop that I think you'd find very interesting.
