I’m a woodturner, but I’ve learned so many techniques from your precision work that often isn’t necessary or possible in working with wood. Thank you for taking the time to share your skills and outstanding work.
I am 54 now, and when i was in my late teens my first "factory job" was working in a machine shop and was fortunate enough to actually use many of the machines in this video it really takes me back i learned ALOT working that job.Learned to read a tape,read calipers and mic's.Learned precision is very important. Thanks for taking me back to a better time.
That was pretty awesome. Completely blown away that my own country (Canada) did anything other than lumber, mining and fishing. Made in Canada..?? Who knew!!! Big thanks to Patrick Dwyer for taking the time time to show us around. Well made and maintained machines can last generations.
Like a walk through paradise..I really love those Johansson machines with the swivel and the bed on one side and a table on the other. Been a long time since i saw one of those. Lots of quality machines and most seem to be in decend shape, or what you might expect after all that time.
Adam, thanks to you. After watching this video I contacted Patrick about the green Lodge and Shipley seen in the video and it is being delivered this week. Patrick was helpful, and sent detailed video of the lathe in question. So now I have one of the machine tool greats! Thanks again.
The floor of my shop was creaking pretty bad getting a bridgeport in it. Had to reinforce the floor and add additional joists. Most of that stuff would go straight through the floor. That's a lot of pretty iron. Thanks for the tour.
Wow I’ve never seen so many monarchs and big iron in one place that was awesome just blown away and the history lessons thank you Adam for sharing with us.
That was really cool of you Adam! That was really neat to see all the fun toys you had hanging around there. I could tell he’s really passionate about all the machines. I couldn’t believe he could give the specs on most of the machines right off the top of his head, that’s incredible!
I always wanted to be a machinist. I ended up becoming an engineer but i'm pretty sure that my heart was made in a machine shop. This channel is inspiring and good for young tradesman or would be apprentices. If it was around during my formative years I just may have gone into the trades. This is video is informative, as I am looking around for a lathe to be able to do small projects and teach myself this art.
Thanks for this video Adam. You were not too far north of me when you stopped in Neosho. I had no idea this place existed or was this close by. I may have to stop by & check it out next time I'm up that direction. Lot's of neat stuff. I'd love to have one of those Monarch, etc lathes or a K&T mill, but no 3 phase where I live & not practical for a home shop & an old man. So I now live thru you, your work & your adventures ! Thanks for all you do & share with us viewers ! By the way, there used to be (abt 15 years ago) a big machinery dealer like this up in WI near Racine rt off I-41. Don't know if it's still there but might be worth looking into in your travels or for the big lathe you want for your home shop expansion.
What a generous offer, sir!! You're quite a wealth of information and I really enjoyed this video. I'm up in Pennsyltucky, but if'in I get down the road, I will look you up! I'm looking forward to you and Adam hashing out a deal for a couple of big pieces for his new work shop. Can't wait!
That lil metric lathe... man I wish I could have that in my shed. Ideal size for me. What a fantastic collection of machines in general. Such a departure from todays "disposable" culture. I hope all those machines land in the laps of people who can use and appreciate them, and pass them on past their own demise.
WOW!!!! You looked like a kid in a candy store. Thanks for sharing. I owned one of those Southbend 10K lathes and it was like brand new. Trouble was the spindle hole was VERY small. I also have a Hardnige Chucker that is in perfect shape. I installed a DRO on it. Talk about precision you can turn that baby 3000 RPM and it is smooth as silk.
Adam, Thanks for showing us this. The swedish milling machine is an Abene, most probably model VHF3. It is a very suitable machine for a hobbyist who wants a little bit more power and does not want to waste a lot of precious space for that. There are some machinists who are seeking of those. I am sure it will be gone in no time once they see the machine. I had one of those in my shopping list but unfortunately they are really expensive here in Scandinavia. So I settled with a swiss Schaublin SV-51.
You dang near killed me Adam! I am drowning in my own drool! Great video. I'd love to see more like it with machinery dealers. One thing I would wish was some kind of a ball park price on the machines just so I would know where my reality ends and dreaming begins. As you are shopping for new tools for the shop be sure to video the places you go as this is really interesting and even more so as I would like to find a good condition Bridgeport style so my adrenaline level goes up when I scent one. Take care. Doug
So close to Springfield. They have grizzly.com. it's a lot of off shore but a lot of South bend. Its a Walmart of machine tooling. This guy would know Wally Holloway from Springfield. He was old machine dealer. Neosho had the famous "fly by music store".
I misspoke... full well knowing it's Swedish made. I agree they really are built like tanks. Very Heavy Weight and runs great!...Steady Rest, Taper, Inch/Metric, 2-3/4" bore. $6,900 FOB Neosho Missouri
@@patrickdwyer2319 Thanks for answering, Patrick! Been looking for a good Storebro / Koping S12 S14 or S16 since two years now, and then I see one, watching Adam's channel.... These are very rare here in Germany... 6900 Dollars are ca. 6000 Euro.... could have been mine ;-) Marlon
Thhis makes me really miss my days of used machinery buying. I'll have to change that. With the advent of the internet I can do this from afar. I can't wait. That was a hell of a lot of machinery.
I recognized some of the older machines from my Boeing days. The series II Bridgeports and the Cinn. mills. We had several of each. I also saw the Bridgeport true trace machines. I used to run those. We had parts that called for "true radius" and you could only get it with the tracer machine. I wonder if he has a good BP series one complete head. Mine is a little tired....... Thanks for the tour!
adam, as a neophyte i assumed new was good. my JET lathe has not worked in 4 years. there were at least 20 there that would be twice that chuck of iron. my mill is great. thanks for your vid.
abene mill the Swede machine is a home shop dream 5hp horizontal or vertical way oil system either 12 speed xyz feeds or infinite with a gear drive head. And it has hard set tram for 90 and 45 with the head to table. Really cool machine.
A note to Patrick Dwyer . . . Patrick, You should hire a kid with a bit of video production exp. and start your own UA-cam channel. I'm serious, it would be a great way to advertise. Lots of folks watching Adam and Tony who would love to find a nice lathe or mill. Cheers!
Great video man, I've got a A model monarch lathe lot 74 n 03. I think it's early 1900s need to sale to fix all my eather machines, got Camelback 1898 drill press, pratt&whitney lathe. Love your tours of old shops.
I don't know what any of that stuff is... And when i watch your videos you may as well be speaking Chinese... To this IT guy.... But I love to watch you work.... *FASCINATING* ..... Thanks I know it takes a tremendous amount of work to shoot and edit these videos...
Hi adam. My name is juan, i'm from Mexico San Luis Potosi. I am your follower since you started to publish your videos. I congratulate you for your excellent work. you're the best. Sorry my english is not very good.
The Swedish Abene mill is one very fine maschine. Live fairly close where the still is up and running. Swiss lathe. I belive is a Swedish Köping. Will run forever. Cool to see all the equipment! Cincinnati is very high regarded here in Sweden.
Wow i hope there´s a motel acros the street. Because i could spend a week in those warehouse, its an machinist amusement park . And i have to visit the states someday , it Just amazing. Grrzz from the Netherlands Johny geerts
Since Ken Dwyer brought up Pratt & Whitney, back in the mid 90's I was at the Pratt factory in East Hartford Ct working on a project. There were a few buildings, maybe 600 feet long and 300 feet wide, stuffed to the gills with Pratt & Whitney build mills, shapers, lathes and broaches that were being sold off for scrap. Watching the fork truck drivers goring the machines and dropping them into metal dumpsters to be crushed then sent to China was hard to watch. The metal dealer wasn't interested in selling any of the machines, only scrap metal value. My old company decided that running it's own machine shop was too costly, so the huge vertical lathe, 150 foot table Milicron, Giddings and Lewis horizontal mills were all sold off to the local machine tool thief of pennies on the dollar and in some cases, just given away provided it was removed for free. The prototype lab still had some Monarch lathes, one which was sent for a complete rebuild, and became the most unreliable lathe in the shop. The only machines kept were a few Bridgeport mills and the newest CNC mills.
So cool! Thanks for showing us. I'd be interested to know two things; 1) What do you American's think of English lathes such as Myford, Axminster etc.? 2) There's a joke in here about taking a mill home in your car - but how do you actually move/install this stuff? Just curious. If you want to cover any of this in a future video that would be awesome.
I had a 12" lathe in the 70s and I always kept the ways oiled and I never sat anything on the ways and I kept it clean of chips when I wasn't using it... but then I see some of these shops and suppliers and it doesn't look like they're always treating these machines all that well. (I'm not saying that's the case here, just speaking in general.)
This guy is the Jay Leno of machine tools. Is there a car Jay does not like ? Is there a machine tool this guy does not have good words about ? More tired iron in one place than most can imagine. A very good thing it is a long long way from where I live. Oh,man. He made a joke about the carrying capacity of Adam's car. Yeah well. My old pickup,same problem,different cubic.
Wow thanks Adam, now I'm drooling *and* broke... Thanks for the tip! PS if you ever have a chance to get an Axelson lathe, it makes the rest of them look lightweight... Still drooling here...
That little standard modern (the first lathe) looks interesting. I do a lot of metric at work, and I wouldn't mind having a little lathe at home to do personal projects with (many of which would be metric; custom bicycle parts, etc.). Doubt I could make the wife agree to it though.

Yea, lot's of things we want!
Man all I have to do is hit the lottery! Love watching you have so much fun!
I am eating up this video, BUT, the lack of light only gives a shadowed view of this machinery collection, great stuff
I worked with what I had. I know the lighting sucked.
I learned on a Cincinnati lathe just like the one at 10.00. Fantastic machinery.
Never seen anything like this GOLD

Ahh man! Wish I’d known you were here! I’m from neosho! I live in joplin, but I still work in neosho!
I see a lot of cool smaller lathes that you guys passed right over. I would like to see you talk more about the smaller machines.
Like that nice little lathe at 300:08.
I see you finally got to it!

When you can get a cheap cnc vmc for about same cost, than....
I feel your pain but trying to sell the machines you mentioned is next to impossible. I hate waste too.
Wow, holy moly,.... what a collection..... (to bad the light was a bit down).
For Machinist... Like heaven on Earth😋 great stuff 🍺

Time to fill a Visa request form:)
Wow what a tour, thank you Adom, What is a key seater, several times in the video you pointed out the machine but I haven't heard of this one.
In my next shop tours I show a Davis keyseater running. It's for cutting internal keyways or slotting.
Wow! You went to heaven and had to leave !
Abena mill. Used to operate one of those. Great machine.
The monarch at 14:30 looks exactly like the one keith Rucker has, might want to send him some parts
The "Swiss" machine is actually Swedish. Some nice machines there!
