- I spent the day with the most amazing old woodwork machines in the shop of @jackEnglishmachines
Jack is an amazing craftsman who has beautifully restored many amazing old woodwork machines and uses them daily in his work. - Jak na to + styl
Another set of really well made super accurate wood joints with no apparent purpose have been completed. 👍🏻
Haha. I was wondering!
The purpose was to get views which has been accomplished 2.1 million times to date.
@@sevoak and I continue to be one of them across the channel 👍
Entertaining education

My heart melted when I saw this. Been working for a year on my own channel to restore a 1946 Walker-Turner 10 inch table saw. I'm so close, just gotta keep on pressing!
I used to own an old 10” Delta radial arm saw. I consider it one of the most dangerous machines I’ve ever owned. The only machine I’ve had a “near miss” on and there were several. Seeing that dado machine with that large cutter made my butt pucker. I’m glad to see that you still have all of your fingers.
They can be dangerous if you use them wrong for sure
Read my comment re: his Delta & my two '50's era DeWalts. They are only dangerous if you do one of two things, either combined or separate: try to use it like a table saw to rip lumber or be stupid!
I've had one injury from my multitude of equipment in over 50 years. I still don't know how I did it, but I cut a blade groove in the end of my thumb 'bout 3/16" deep.
I always thought it would feel like getting cut. It felt like someone hit me square on the end of my thumb w/ a 16oz hammer. It didn't sting or burn, it was just blunt force bam!
Incomplete training, lack of training & fear killed on of the most versatile & accurate piece of equioment ever made, the Radial Arm saw.
That shaper blade on the Delta is the kind of tool, only smaller, (they used 14" Dewalts), which built Levittown, NY. They had a mile long railroad siding, w/ the DeWalts side by side along the rails.
Each machine was set up for a single length cut or shape. Either the lumber went behind the operator & used by carpenters or it went to the next station for another step until finished.
The 1st example of onsite assembly line production of houses in the world.
Two interesting factoids 'bout post WWII DeWalt. When you bought a saw, it was delivered by a trained instructor who spent the entire day teaching you how to use the saw. The 8 1/4" model sold for $110.
A young aspiring comedian got his start being the spokesman for DeWalts in this era. George Gobel who went on to Hollywood & a life long career.
There's YT vids of him appearing w/ Carson on the Tonight Show in stereotypical form of the '60's & '70's: a highball in one hand & a smoke in the other! LOL
@@georgedennison3338love hearing these old stories

Loved living/learning them, & love sharing them. Thanks
If I continue to stay in throat cancer remission, & recover to my former self, I hope to resume the plan to launch a YT channel in the planning/concept stage for a couple of years.
The critical foundation of partnering w/ a videographer/editor & reorganizing my multiple material fab shop, (I've been working in materials from cloth to stone for 50+ years) was getting going in mid-late 2019.
In Jan '20, I got Covid which activated HPV related throat cancer; 2 surgeries in '20. Cancer returned & Fall '21 led to 7 weeks of chemo & radiation.
The surgeries & actual treatment were not that debilitating, I actually was in better shape at the end of the 7 week regime, than before.
Four day after last treatment, the bus, train, plane & semi hit me. The docs told me, "You'll be more tired than normal for 12-16 months. Possibly 4-6 shorter or 6-8 months longer."
I was bedridden for 4 effing months. The 1st two, I could not sit up w/o help.
The last day of treatment, I parked on the 5th deck, sprinted to & down the stairs & jogged to my last rad treatment. Return trip to 5th deck was same. When I got to the roof, I whooped & yelled, 'I'm gonna kick this cancer's azz just like those stairs! F@#$ cancer.'
The yelling & hollering put me more out of breath than the 5 flights of stairs.
I had just hit 67 the previous month.
Two plus years later, I'm hoping & planning this Spring will be the time of my resurgence. I tried last Fall, & still had too much chemo fatigue, (look it up. I did to learn/figure out what was wrong w/ me.)
I still have a 0.25" silicone tube going thru my abs, into my stomach. That's how I consume 98% of my liquid diet. Good old Mason jars & a funnel made from a big azz (600 ml) syringe from Amazon.
The reason is the rad damaged the saliva glands & ended production. Imagine the worst case of dry mouth, ever. That's not close. No saliva, no swallowing. Good news is there's now intermittent production, getting better every month.
That's my final big hurdle, physically. Then I can get final fit on dentures, (oh, yeah. One of those thing you don't know until you have to do it? Can't have any metal in your teeth or the radiation will melt your jaw bones. The 1st 2020 op was to remove all my teeth & do some much needed bony growth from my lower inside & outside jaw, (called tori; read 'bout them, too. Clenching your teeth is primary cause.)
Last fun life learning fact: Medicare will pay to have teeth removed & the hammering, chiseling & planing of the tori, but they won't pay for dentures.
A 2003 brain injury led to me losing everything I had earned & owned by age 50. Got my SS card at age 11, so I could work.
A charity found a dentist to make dentures, post-op. Then before my final fitting, got the cancer is back diag & the generous dentist dumped me as a patient. Nice guy, huh?
Getting teeth, even plastic is part of my return to living a normal life; well, normal for me. I DID come of age in the '60's, after all.
I'm ugly enough, so teeth are a must. Unless I go the Avé or This Old Tony route & not show my face.
Since Avé has granted me use of 'Empire of Dirt' for use in my channel's name, & TOT has... well, can't reveal everything. ;)
After their generosity/encouragement, I can't very well dup their no face schtick, too.
If you have a thirst for learning about how to fix, make, improve or create anything & everything and like hearing a good (true) tale from the filled to the brim life I've lived, then keep an eye on Avé & TOT for a possible reference to my channel or search on 'Empire of Dirt' every few months over the next year or so.
Channel name still in works. Have considered Uncle Geo's Empire o' Dirt, but too damn old. Grandpa Geo's Empire o' Dirt is in the running.
Let me know what you think of the name idea &/or make a suggestion.
The channel's premise will teaching skills, how to do things yourself & cheap, (best ways to scrounge/re-purpose/use equipment in different ways). I literally can fix most anything fixable, & have invented create new types of equipment & tools & have built or helped build cars, houses, recording studios, TV/movie sets, computers & networks, most recently 'ported' the Lopez valve, (open-close valve), on my feeding tube to improve flow & eliminate plugging, which was a daily prob.
In addition to inanimate objects, I've also helped improve humans. I am an Exercise Physiologist & therapist/counselor by education & have taught classroom & PE from K thru graduate level.
My 1st 'career' was Sports Medicine, so I know how to improve, heal the human body. I spent 13 yrs in the field, from high school to college to pro football & pro baseball.
I left the Dodgers & Sports medicine after the '89 season. It was more important to move to Portland, where my family lived & my, by then, ex-wife lived, so I could parent my two daughters via joint custody.
I like, no love, to write & edit, as you can tell by my comments & replies. I was genetically designed to learn & teach. I've been told, literally, 3-4 dozen times I should write my bio. I've lived a 'Forrest Gump' kinda life in that by seizing life my it's tail, I've crossed life paths with some great people, both known worldwide & by only their friends & family.
I have been truly blessed by the generosity of mind & matter of others, their love, support & encouragement and acceptance of me, warts, quirks & all.
A few years of contemplating one's mortality has led to accept I'll never write the book. I hope to do it digitally via this world/life changing platform, YT.
Things in life happen for a reason; if one is open to learning why, going for 'it' in the moment & being as self-aware as one can learn to be.
YOUR comment has, in this moment, inspired me to write the 1st draft of my YT channel's mission statement & my background/history story.
Thank you, from the bottom of my heart for the comment. Your few, genuine words inspired me at 'the' right moment, while I was sitting on 'the throne' of my Empire o' Dirt, before I went to my shop for an afternoon of work on my re-org/remodel, for the 1st time this year.
Regards,
GeoD
That chain mortiser is way more accurate than I expected. What is that crazy little belt sander? I've never seen one before.
I'm retired and if I had a shop like that I would spend every waking moment in it.
Back in the 1960's when I was a teenager working my first job I got to know a retired second-generation master carpenter. He told me when he was a little kid his first job was stoking the boiler last thing in the evening, and first thing before school, to keep up the steam pressure for his family's woodworking shop. The steam engine drove overhead jack shafts to power all the equipment. Everything operated off of those overhead shafts, power was transmitted via flat belts (un-guarded). Talk about danger.
É sempre bom se recordar que tivemos uma fase de máquinas a vapor em oficinas.
A great presentation in total silence.
Thanks to you & your friend for sharing. 🇨🇦🇺🇸
Thank you 🙏
That old mortise machine was really cool. You're joinery videos are the best. You make it look so easy when in reality, it is extremely difficult.
Thank you 🙏
@The Dusty Lumber Co I wholeheartedly agree with the fact that you make it look easy. I actually acquired a 10" Ridgid Radial Arm Saw after watching you use one and let's just say my Tenons were not at all precise as yours. There's so many adjustments that need to be dialed in, it's a chore to get it setup but amazingly useful once you do so.
@@CaliReignStudios thank you! That’s awesome your got a RAS😁👍
These machines are pure gold!!!🤩🤩🤩🤩
They are amazing old school machines for sure 👍😁
@@dustylumberco q²²¹1
amazing! These machines are so much but better than everything we see in modern mid range machinery today.
I'm 61 and watching your videos makes me miss High School woodshop
Similar, bummed that as kids we didn’t realize just how cool wood shop really was…
Классно. Замечательный улыбчивый мастер и прекрасное выражение лица. Супер. 👍👏👌✊🤜🤛💪🤝🌟
👍😁
My dream retirement garage right here!
Awesome work. Great seeing you use older equipment and maintaining your high standards and finish.
Those are some amazing machines. I hesitate to call them old because they do not look old at all to me. They are so well maintained.
Excellent videos, straight to it, no endless talking and rubbish music, 👏
Thank you 🙏
This is how I learned back in high school doing my projects for tables. Individual legs on the lathe using a stencil from paper and black marker 😂 loving your new machinery videos I watch them weekly
I’m pretty sure this is what heaven looks like. Wow those are some beautiful machines.
In Germany we actually still use joinery like mortises in Carports and Roofs depending on what style of roof you want. I have cut tons of mortises with a portable chain mortiser from maffel in our shop. Great work! Great content!
😁😁👍👍
To be explicit, they're old *industrial grade* machines. Made to operate 40 hour weeks, 52 weeks a year. A little one-man shop use won't worry 'em.
Beautifully restored vintage machinery!
Some nice old machinery especially the Wadkin saw, a business started in my home town Leicester in 1897 and became a world leader in woodworking machinery.
Yes they’re amazing old machines 😁👍
Cada vez que assisto a vídeos desse marceneiro nessa marcenaria, equipada com tantas máquinas, muitas delas que só vejo aqui, penso que seria uma honra ser um aprendiz de marcenaria de alguém que conhece o ofício e utiliza as ferramentas certas e modernas para executar os trabalhos. Parabéns. E olha que seria um aprendiz de 60 anos de idade. Adoro marcenaria.
Essas maquinas todas são bem mais velhas que você, da época da industrialização americana nas décadas de 40 e 50. No nordeste dos EUA há muitas, a maioria em mal estado de conservação por serem obsoletas para uso industrial (repostas por CNCs) nas poucas indústrias que não fecharam quando a produção foi para a China ou México. Hoje aqui você consegue essas maquinas até de graça, só pagando o transporte que em sí já sai caro. Mesma coisa que pianos, porque ninguém quer mais. Já me ofertaram vários de graça, mas não quis pagar pelo transporte e a afinação.
They have all fingers, I see a lot of safety covers, clean workspace, so we see bosses of wooden technology :-)
It's amazing how many tools it takes to replace a chisel and a saw (lathe kind of irreplaceable)
En realidad, no pude lograr ver todo el video.
Se corta y no sé qué se propone hacer esta vez.
Su amigo también es un maestro en la madera como se puede ver. Gracias amigo. Excelente videos.
No me pierdo ninguno
Wadkin, superb British quality engineering never surpassed
You're probably one of the happiest people alive with all that gear
And thus the latest kickstarter for the world's first all solid wood pogo stick was born.
Must have been an absolute joy to work on those machines
It sure was 😁
Was? Was? Don't you still?
GeoD
Those machines were beautifully engineered.
Leicester, England! That's my city! Great video, thanks for posting! ❤
Definitely something to be said for older machinery...especially when it's well looked after.
Again, you give me incentive to get better...which applies across the board. No pun intended.
😁😁😁👍👍
Those old machines are so cool! 👏👏
I love them 👍
Поражает наличие инструмента и оборудования в обеих мастерских и умение всем этим пользоваться 👍👍👍
Some great old tools...love it
I have to say this was amazing to watch, I don't know what you made but who cares. These machines are both incredible and terrifying.
They look like some medieval torture devices.
I'm hooked 👏🏻👍👏🏻👍
I would love to have the space and time to have those units. But I also can lear to improvise with what I have and mimic the things that you are creating a work of art on.
Leicester (pronounced Lester), the best of British! Got to admit, my bum clenched when you did those rips on the crosscut sled! 😮
Amazing indeed! Every detail had been favored for effectiveness, precision and protection. The spectra of utilization is enormous. Wish I have the talent to use them. 😢
Old school..unfortunately gone forever(?) Lovely.
Being on old machinery just makes it cooler!
Having all the right tools is a Blessing.
The cutter on that Radial arm saw is an absolute UNIT! That thing looks like it could filet through some hard maple or oak, like a hot knife through butter!
It’s pretty awesome! 👍🙏
Wadkins certainly built to last !
Смотрю это видео, и офигеваю от этих винтажных станков. Думаю какие станки были в совке да никаких. Мой дед был плотником у него были стомески рубанки циркулярка.
О! Наш💪Мастер в гостях у друга✊ Как имя друга❓
Работа, как всегда на высоте😻
Булатный лайк мой👍
Hello sir
@@youtukangshop Hello✊
😁👍
I get a headache just thinking about planing and making the joints myself, very well done !
Amazin video. So satisfying to watch. Love watching pros at work! Cheers from Canada
That is excellent old machinery built to last and very visibly given tender loving care.
Myself and a colleague were at the Wadkin HQ in Nottingham (England) recently. Company now called Daltons Wadkin. Still selling and servicing all ages of machines. Brilliant people.
We were there to see a demo of a KIMLA CNC machine ... OMG what a bit of kit that is.😊😊
As a brit who enjoys your channel this one made me smile :)
Ok, the joint that you made is nothing exceptional but your shop is so cool! You got the best woodworking machines ever seen here on CZcams! You made the best choices for your equipment, so from my point I can only say well done!
Truly, this machinery is extraordinary.
very good job. greetings from Argentina
Muchas gracias
I love these old machines, they were built to last!
Incredible old machines!! Second to none. Wadkin Temple is a great channel. Fun to see these tools in action. I have numerous old machines but not like those. Please use safety glasses while using these machines. Been woodworking for 50 years. The most important tool in the shop is your safety glasses. I have seen people lose an eye or injury it in the blick of an eye. I hate to see people get injured. It is life changing for worst and can be prevented. Always excellent to model great techniques with good safety procedures. Take care.
It’s so gratifying to hear the squeak of the wood as you assemble it.
I'm drooling over all the awesome equipment. That sled on the table saw looked so smooth!
Amazing your tools I like that,your completed equipment tool are very advance,I can not afford your tools,it's very expressive,very accurate,you know, you no perfect work with out your tool,
It looks like the biggest difference is the complete lack of vacuum-options on these old beauties
Some have dust collection and others don’t
A man in his prime.
👍👍

Pozdrav, htio bi pohvalit vaš rad. Stvarno ste vrhunski majstor, ali imate i odlične strojeve. Kod nas se kaže: bez alata nema ni zanata. Veliki pozdrav.
First off whoever restored these tools did an amazing job. 2nd great woodworking skills
You can always tell when someone is self taught. A trained craftsman would drill the holes and cut the curves before cutting the blocks apart. Safer, easier, more accurate.
Old school is always excellent!
Craftsmanship at its finest
That sled glides so smoothly! Always enjoying your videos!
😁👍
All I have to say is wow 🤩 this machine are awesome 👏
It's kinda cool to see these old machines brought back to life, but I have to say for 'me' I get much more satisfaction from hand tools, and I don't have any stress from always being 'on' -- making sure I'm not about to kill myself with a deadly spinning steel blade.
i love your skill,perfect plus clean work and nice job,malaysian salute your job
Such beautiful machinery! On another level. Checking for a longer video.
Great work! Glad to see someone else using a metal cutting lathe for accurate wood turning. But be careful with woods like walnut. Rusts everything. Keep it up.
Old is gold...
You are Best,
I love it,,,,,You are best You are best 👌👌👌👌,
From Kurdistan
So satisfying to watch! 😊❤
Super cool work, I just can't get passed the lack of eye protection
These videos are so addictive
Lots o’ fancy machinery there, boys.
Extraordinario maestro. Un saludo desde Granada España
This is bloody science fiction!
Good work, that man!
Todos os equipamentos de marcenaria que sempre sonhei.. e nunca consegui ter ..
Parabéns pelo trabalho 👏
Superb machines from the days when joiners had less fingers and more lung problems
Old but gold. Nice looking as well.
عمل رائع اتمنى لكم التوفيق. Great job, I wish you success
Да,таких станков не было раньше. 10 лет работал модельщиком по изготовлению деревянных моделей для литейного производства. Большинство приходилось делать вручную,станков минимум и не таких классных. Здорово!!!👍
Something totally relaxing and at the same time mesmerising about watching videos like this. And thank you for not using commentary or stupid music over the top of it.
Subscribed!
Thanks a lot for showing us your very high quality techniques and design 🙏👏👏👏
So much to comment on, so I'll just say,
The handle for the chainsaw plunge tool sideways movement is really cool
Bigtime tools.Handle with respect and care,keeps all your digits.And thanks for not drowning it out with foolish music..
I. LOVE YOU, MAN !!! YOU THOUGHT ME SO MANY THINGS AND TRICKS !!! ... THANK YOU A LOT !!! GOOD LUCK !
Love the saw, holy crap some awesome equipment
Feels the latest model machine even it is old.
They made some good tools back in the day. The shop where I work is on university owned property that was formerly owned by the Air Force, and before that was used to train pilots during WWII.
There are still a couple tools in there from back then. One of them (either the drill press or the radial arm saw, I can't remember) has a disclaimer on the side saying that it's not the usual paint scheme on the machine, but it was painted according to specs from the War Board.
Yes they definitely made some amazing machines back then! That’s awesome about the war bond tools!
This is like the machinery I learnt on, great vid man
😁😁thanks!
I am so jealous of this guy and his tools!!!LOL….i wish I had that type of money!!!
Amazing👍
Thank you 🙏
Simplemente, Gracias
از کارگاه مدرن تو به کارگاه کلاسیک، هر دو عالی هستند 👍🏻
That mortising machine!!!
🤗🤗🤗😍😍😍😍😍
