  • This edition concerns work done on steam and Hit & Miss gas engine components done in the shop. While most of the shop is steam powered, these jobs were done on the electric powered side during the "hot spell". Back to burning junk wood next time. Thanks for watching.....Dave

    Beautiful result with the shaper! Interesting sleeve press setup. I grew up in a farming family. I remember as a very young boy, my uncle re-sleeved a Farmall tractor. My grandpa had one of the only freezers in the area and my uncle put the sleeves in his freezer overnight, wrapped them in blankets next morning and rushed to the shop. They dropped right in. Good thing as he didn't have any way to press them in. As a young boy I was so amazed how temperature could effect metal like that. I'm 75 and I remember that like it was yesterday!

    Was watching a video on todays CNC machines and felt pretty ancient, After watching this iam feeling much better, - thnx

      first shop I worked in was my Grandfather's. He ran a line shaft powered shop (off an old John Deere Tractor). He had a forge with a hand crank bellows and I was the dumb kid cranking it all day when he forged. He had a Lathe but no mill or shaper. I hated it then but I bless his memory every day now.

      @@ralfgottfridhansson3127 There are definitely several factors involved here. I have to say I agree with you though. I often get the feeling of dejavu watching Dave's videos, where it reminds me of being a fortunate child growing up inside of my dads shop as a child and having him teach me the trade. Of course as a child I didn't realize how lucky I was until I hit my early 30's and finally realized I didn't know it all like I thought. One of life's lessons!!

    Them sleeves:

    I had it right, on your shaper hold downs on the steam cover, I was sure there were pins. I would not rely on gravity to hold that cover down. One of my machine shop instructors said, "If you know the capabilities of the machine, and you get creative with your setup, you can machine just about anything you can imagine". Thank you for letting us hanging out with you.
