Very good! Seeing those metal working machines was like checking back with old friends. Thank you...

Amazing how quit those machines were. The gear machine was unbelievable. No electricity either, just the river, man that's cool.

Yeah, I hoping you guys would find it as interesting as I did

The cone for the variable speed on the drill press was pretty cool. Its wild how much has changed and how much has stayed the same.

Modern flour mils still use line shaft drive to reduce the explosion hazards related to electric motors. I bought an old line shaft machine shop right out of high school but never got to set up & run the machines & ended up losing them over time. I wish I had them back.

@@theshauny You can't run carbide on non roller bearing machines, not sure why they say that but I suspect the bearing clearance will destroy the carbide like an interrupted cut not to mention they require a lot more horsepower than HSS. No coolant tray/pump either.

@@pvtimberfaller very interesting points, easy enough to sort a coolant tray and smell pump (a small DC motor that plugs into the old line shaft powered “lighting” dynamo’s would be cool) Speed might be the main concern for carbide on a plain bearings machine tool 🤷🏻‍♂️ old chucks where very low speed rated compared to todays “high speed chuck” so that might be a issue aswell. I would think a 5 or 10hp line shaft should be enough to power a lathe that would be today’s equivalent of 4kw electric motor(must remember that line shafts and especially steam power has torque curve closer to a electric motor than a petrol or diesel engine

The shop I bought out used old single phase motors the size of oil drum, reversible by shifting a timing quadrant. Both lathes had shop built chip trays, the 24” one consisted of half barrels welded together with wheels so you could trundle it outside to empty it. There was a 14(?)/24”x60-96? lathe, can’t remember the make just now. A 14x40 Reed prentice. A 20(?)” Camelback drill that shared a motor with a Davis keyseater. A 24” rack drive shaper. All the tooling except the big drill bits which the owner sold without telling me plus a Hossfield bender, welder etc. It was a dream at the time. Sure wish I had just bought a 12” Jet & a Bridgeport like dad said, I would still have them.

I love old Machine Shops, the first lathe I had in my shop was a Hendy Lathe that had been converted from the Jackshaft and replace with a truck transmission and electric motor. Ray if you ever get a chance to travel to Michigan you will have to visit Henry Ford Museum Now called the Henry Ford and Greenfield Village. There are several machine shops complete as they were in the day. I think you can do a tour as well on the internet. You can spend a full day there for sure. It is located in Dearborn Michigan.

Dopont got wealthy from gun powder i live in massacusets and we stil have gorgious old mills built back then and most are darelect or used for somthing else but alot of masive old buildings still their every town with river had a factory you go inside and their gorgious with the huge oak beams and such over in holeyoke they have the old turbines on desplay from one paper mill we had a huge paper and silk industry that is where are jippsey catapilers came from.

That machine shop is amazing but I think old mate is over cooking how long it would take to make a gear, I believe that I would be able to make a gear in that shop in less than 2 days… the indexing head he called a computer is way is a inaccurate term it is a positioning tool,(the way it works is it’s a 40:1 gearbox and you can get other divisions with “indexing plates” you still do the math in your head.also the first lathe he said was a 4 speed is actually a 8 speed because it has a back gear there is plenty more that is some what inaccurate in his tour but it was still great to see thank you for sharing

I bet you was like a kid in a candy store.....lol....now that is some sweet lathes...but the other guy on the tour with you looks familiar, the the one doing the tour. Looks like a nice day and place to visit...

I already that water powered machines existed but what I don't know is that it is actually possible to transmit the mechanical energy for long distances using ropes and belts for industrial purposes. I think this is more energy efficient than water powered electrical generator to power the machines since it is a directly mechanical to mechanical energy, no electrical conversion was involved from running water to machines.

As amazing as it is I don’t think it would be as efficient as “AC” electric because off all the bearings and friction joints along the path(a engineer would have to conduct a study to say for sure), it’s still a great achievement and infrastructure though

Very nice video of an old line shaft operated machine shop, but the museum has one of the worst intereptors ever for this exhibet. He made more misstatements about the machine trade than he made correct statements. If you'r not going to do it correctly then you shouldn't do it at all. This is especially true when it comes to history. If it is presented incorrectly then it is not history at all and only creates confusion and inaccuracy for future generations.

+Dick Sargent I agree! After his presentation, I waited for everyone to leave and "gently" explained some of his errors, showed him how the back gear on the lathe works, and a few other issues I could remember. Most visitors wouldn't know or care, but he was genuinely interested in correcting his errors.

Low carbon foot print with the use of water power.
