  • The first video of 2020 season includes getting the shop ready to do work, and machining started on 5 new replica line shaft hangars. If you are new here, My shop was set up to depict a working 1925 steam powered "job" machine shop similar to what would have been found all over the US at that time. From a time when nearly all industry was powered by either water or steam power. Discussion, questions and comments about steam power, line shaft machinery and early machine shop activity are always welcome here. Thanks for watching.....Dave

      When l seen the Harbor Freight flyer go up in flames...that was a powerful message, l couldn't agree more! When l buy a used vintage tool or machine at auction and the guy next to me says..You could have bought that same item for half price at Harbor Freight..l almost come unglued......l enjoy your channel👍 From Indiana

    Dave just to let you now your videos are very educational. Today in the midddle of a "rush job" one of my machines went down. Armed with two cups of coffee and your techniques, i managed to tear down the machine, repair it and get it together in an hour. The "rush job" then left the shop on time. Youre a good teacher!

    It's nice to see you back in action. Your new wall, bench and cubbyhole shelf came out beautifully. I bet walking into your shop after being away for so long must be a thrilling experience, all your old friends, and the smell of the wood and oil, wonderful!

  • @thirtysixford
    @thirtysixford Před 4 lety +15

    Just finished watching the entire clip. Great job David. Steam engines are very dear to me. My grandfather was a rig builder for Standard Oil Company and when I was young, he would take me to the sites in Southern California where the wooden and steel derricks he built were still standing. There would be a hit or miss engine still operating the pump and old steam engines discarded or in pieces and he would explain the history to me.
    I went on to have a career in the oil service business and am now retired. Still remember those engines!
    Thanks

    Good to see you again Dave , I love the old machinery & you explaining things . It's very calming to listen to you and hear the engine and the line shafts running . Since I started watching you I've bought a 1920 Lodge & Shipley 18 X 48 in. lathe took the apron apart to clean & inspect , got it back together now and about ready to run . You were my inspiration . Thank you for sharing your knowledge .

    Dear Mr. Dave,
    When I was younger (last century) friends dad was a stationery steam engineer and he would take me to work occasionally, worked at a state mental hospital. There I got to see water tubed boilers that were 4 stories tall. They burned a coal mixed with water that was blowed in. Very powerful and very noisy. He had to a once a shift (BEST PART)

Told my supplier to find it made in USA or I’d find another supplier. He told me I was the 5th person to do that to him in the last month. One of those clients runs around $200K/mo through his business.
