- Опубліковано 2 тра 2020
- It's FINALLY time to move the BIG machines back to Salvage Workshop! Once I'm finished, over 50,000 lbs of machinery & tooling will have been moved from this shop to mine! So far I've moved about 30,000 lbs of it, and in this video I'll show you how I did it! We'll also talk a little about the machines rescued and other new tools & machines here at Salvage Workshop!
4 of the engine lathes and both camel back drill presses and TONS of tooling (literally) have made it back to the shop! I still have to go get another engine lathe, a LARGE turret lathe, and a HUGE hydraulic broaching machine when I'm able to get back into the shop!
Being able to tour this amazing building was more than worth the trip! Then having the opportunity to preserve some of its amazing history here at Salvage Workshop only adds to the awesome experience I had at this old shop!
I truly hope you've enjoyed going through this old building and learning a little bit about it's history with me! It's been a fun series!
I can't wait to hear your thoughts on this amazing place and the step back in time that I hope it takes you on!
I hope you'll follow along on this journey as we get further along with it!
~ As of now, the plan for Rescuing Old Iron Episode 3 is to make it a 3 part series. ~
Part 1 - Partial tour of the property as it is now, and what machines will be rescued
Part 2 - Final Tour of the rest of the shop! A look at what the place looked like in years past. Moving the drill presses. Going through all the tooling and smaller items rescued.
Part 3 - Moving the Monster Machines Back to Salvage Workshop and taking a closer look at them. A talk about what the plan for them will be!
I'd love to know your thoughts on the experience you had or what it reminds you of down in the comments!

In this series "Rescuing Old Iron" here at Salvage Workshop, I'll show you where I discover MANY amazing old machines that have been there for 10, 30, or even 100 years! Everything you see me haul back to the workshop has been purchased from the owners, and now has a new lease on life! We'll talk about the history of the places I take you to and have a little fun PICKIN in search of burred treasures!
Do you ever wonder WHERE all the Old Rusty Tools & Machines being restored on UA-cam come from? For some, they find them on the Bay, or FB Marketplace, CL, or from friends, but that's always AFTER someone else has already DISCOVERED them!!
I'll take you on an adventure where we'll discover these old tools & machines right where they've been living for a LONG time! If you love machines like these and you enjoy adventures, then I hope you enjoy this new series here at Salvage Workshop!
I am always on the hunt for amazing OLD iron Machines! Finding these gems, & meeting the incredible people along the way that have them is truly a PASSION of mine!
Join me as I Rescue OLD Iron here in the Midwestern United States!
I'd love to know your thoughts on this adventure!

QUESTION of the VIDEO: Which piece of OLD Iron here at Salvage Workshop is your favorite? Why?
Parte 1 , its my favorite.
I love the Band Saw!
@@venicio205 bisa yg hc Hb hu
I was very interesting watching you pull these machines out of the buildings what are you doing with them restoring them
My favorite part is the fact you took the huge effort to save all these old machines. Fantastic pieces of history. Can't wait to the the restorations.
Ahhh, to be young, healthy, strong and ambitious again! Great watching this rescue mission, and your approach to the project.
When I was a kid, my friends and I lived on a dead-end Street.
It wasn't a nicely manicured cul-de-sac with green lawns and bushes, mind you, but a dirty dead-end behind a neighborhood bar and it was surrounded by parking lots, a warehouse, a steel company, RR tracks, and a junkyard... and it was all our playground.
Many a weekend would find us in the junkyard or the warehouse, usually illegally, but what an adventure it was to wander through it all and see the machinery.
That was when I was in my mid teens. I'm now 70, and your videos have brought back a lot of fond memories.
Really interesting seeing all of those line shaft to electric motor Conversion kits. I think a lot of us are used to seeing homespun conversions, not thinking about it as a whole cottage industry or market segment dedicated to those conversions during that time when the transition from steam or large squirrel cage motor driven lineshafts, to individual machine mounted electric motors was at its peak. This shop is an excellent example of that time.
Love the old machines, l recently retired as a tool maker and have a 1955 Meusure lathe, 1960 Bridgeport, 1950s Cincinnati # 3 horizontal mill with vertical attachment, and a1883 drill press.
It's amazing to me that these are the machines built the machines and ships that fought a world war. Amazing what they could do back then.
I got my love for rescuing old tools at the ripe age of three. Absolutely fell in love with my grandfather machine shed. I’ve never lost the fascination for gears to thisday and I’m almost 80…yep and a woman
A lot of work. But, WOW! WHAT A FIND! You will have a great collection of machines. And the preservation of craftmanship. What your doing is on so many levels of cool! So nice to see some one has the forethought to appreciate and do what your doing thank you and good job.
For a man your size I’m impressed how you able to remove and assembly those monsters,not saying what shape you will be in a day or two.more power to you.will enjoy videos of you doing restorations on them or using them in shop.good video.
yea Tom, getting old sucks but when I wake up and something hurts I know I am still alive.
@@carlwhite8225 I think it's a good day, when I wake up and I'm still on this side of the dirt...
And Tom, it doesn't matter on your size, if you use your brain, and have a big enough lever, you can move anything...
However... Some of the stuff he was doing was sketchy... like being on the ladder trying to slide that motor over...
You are gonna need every bit of that space you made and then some! Such beautiful pieces...can't wait to see them all restored and working again!
Splendid! I'm eager to see you put new life into these wonderful machines. I hope you know how blessed you are. The Lord knows the desires of our heart.
You are not the biggest guy I've seen but the guy with the biggest heart saving this beautiful equipment.
I'd love to see a series on a refurbished lathe machine, cause you'd be so thorough with the complete project I'd get to learn all the inner core workings. Those machines are so fascinating, my best friends dad was a machinest and I could watch for hours. Thanks for sharing. Cheers from Jacksonville Florida 🌞
So many 'wow' kind of finds here. And doggies. And a mystery box. I love coming here for your videos. I'm looking forward to your next one, and especially something being restored! So many great choices...
If you find that the Cincinnati can be gotten to work, and it isn’t too worn-keep it. That is a great lathe. The Jacob’s collet chuck is excellent. I have one as well. The collets are in like new shape.
Awesome job as always. I find it amazing that you move all those machines and still get all the video shots, kudos brother. Keep up the good work!
Amazing how you moved it all by yourself
Love your videos! Can't wait to see what happens next.
RESCUING HISTORY - THANK YOU !!!!
I've been watching you for a while, and my hat is off to you! You are a hard-working, determined young man. I look forward to seeing you rehab that old iron and putting it back to work.
Hello, still don't know your name, but its great to see you salvage the machinery, as you said a while ago, they might have gone for scrap, good work. That CINCINNATI looks very good, and the others will come together, after some work on them. They make my mouth water 😊👍. Best wishes Geoff Lewis, Wales, UK, 🏴🏴🏴
Old video but that's OK I love your excitement and your Passion for old machinery
Some awesome old machines. Heavy stuff to. That trailer lowered down pretty good when you loaded them. And I always enjoy seeing the weimaraners. 👍🏻
Phenomenal!!! Missed your videos, hope all is well. Keep on keeping on and restore everything! Lol
Wow, I can’t believe you did all that! My guess is a welder under the box! Looks like the trailer is holding up and still looking awesome. Wish I could help you with all the info and needed parts. Those machine rollers were pretty cool. Thanks Matt great video, looking forward to the next one!
I am so glad to see all this old AWESOME equipment salvaged !! So much history in that building and in these tools so wonderful to see them brought to great home !! From what I can see they have been taken care of and kept in good working order the bed ways look pretty clean except where someone torched a chunk out 😳 !! A little time , oil, cleaning , ALOT of rags and elbow grease I have faith in you !! A chuck for that l2 is going to be about $900 to $1600 but I will keep my eyes open for you . Those Benders are great !! Love that rock island vise !! If you google that pettybone mercury forklift I turned up a manual on eBay for $16.00 hope this is for right model . Great video as always !!
Yes. Definitely want more.
Amazing! Just found your channel - so happy right now. You are living my dream life. I wish you all the best, and looking forward to follow you for inspiration!!
If that machinery could talk...
Always looking forward in seeing your videos, stay safe!
I'm still exhausted just from watching this last week! Loved it.
Enjoyed your video very much. I really liked you old lathes. A chuck for that Cincinnati should not be to hard to come by. If you lived closer, I would be interested in one of the LeBlond lathes. I have watched you move all this iron and I am impressed that you have taken this on by your self. You need to take it easy on your body, I used to work like you, it will tell you about it when you get older. My biggest advice is to get yourself a mule. It will allow you to move these machines a lot easier and without killing yourself. Thank you for the video. God Bless and be Careful.
You had to have had a few long exhausting days my friend. I could smell that old oil and feel that oak floor under my feet just watching this. What a humbling series. 👍🏻👍🏻🍻
Thanks so much for the videos. Your a fortunate, hard working young man, all the best to you..
Dude, it makes my back hurt just watching you!
I've got back a he watching this 😷
Thanks for showing some of the methods you used for moving that equipment out of the shop. I also like the use of the little electric forklift you have. I have a pallet stacker that I recently bought to use in the shop. I have not used it too many times yet, but it will come in handy.
Great Job on moving the machines. You have quite the colection going on. Very nice vids. Keep them up please.
Beautiful machines!
Have to leave you a comment! Omg you went above and beyond you must have had a big breakfast to move them on your own well done keep the good work up 👍👍✌️✌️✌️
Those machinery skates are great, but you have to keep an eye on them. I was once moving a long bed Lodge & Shipley lathe with my set. I had one under each corner, things were going good, until I looked back and saw one skate had stayed behind about 20 feet back!
Later I took the turn table bit off the top of all four and welded a 3/4" thick piece of plate to each one. The plates have various sizes of threaded holes in them, so now they get bolted to whatever I am moving.
I wished I was young again and American. Then I could come to assist you. Brilliant job, well done.
Definitely keep the Cincinnati Lathe, I have a 12 1/2” x36”that looks to be every bit as heavy as yours, mine is the last of the manual shift lathes. It is a pleasure to run! The only thing I wish mine had is the clutch option, if I want to stop the spindle I have to shut off the motor! That box looks to me to be a large phase converter!
The Cincinnati is also known as a traytop for obvious reasons.
I am very impressed with the machines you have i do love the old iron can't wait to see them in action
Thank you for taking care of these "old irons".
I’m so envious of your shop, tools, trinkets
I am with Ralph Reagan( cool last name), Beers and Pizza, I can be there in a day or 2 for free labor. Love that you saved these great old machines.
You did a great job moving everything. Great video!!!
We have a bigger set of those rollers at work two in the back and a remote controlled hydraulic one for the center in the front that can move 600,000 pound boilers to the end of the shop to get loaded on to the trailers, I’m not sure of the capacity but I know that it can handle at least 600,000 pounds. I do love the old machinery I wish I had a nice lathe and mill
You need a bigger shop! These videos are so cool, I love seeing new life being breathed into these old machines and projects.
Really great video bro thanks for sharing
really good work your doing. keep it up
I thought I was doing something when I moved my mill by my self. Great job and cool tools.
Awesome lathes.
Plywood between the forks and the machine is a real good idea, also between .the skates and the machine.
3 skates is the way to go, if you use 4, one will always be loose, the wood really helps on this!!!!!
I'm thinking "get some beer and pizza so friends will come and help"
Beer and pizza , the best form of reward among friends .
Richard Palmer or bribery lol
Im doit for one Coke and one Cigarette 😉
This is like watching me work. Always alone. But wouldent have it any other way.
huge amount of work.
Those chain binders seem like a real time saver.. haven't seen that type before.
hence the name " speedbinders.com" !!
Ok guys I’m hooked,,,,,,, and subbed, looks like a slice of machinists heaven you have there. Sweet 👍👍👍👍👍👍
Love the videos I think somebody needs a bigger stop definitely now am I guess what's in the box the phase converter see you the next video thanks
Just when I think can't be amazed, then I see this. Great treasures and great video. Give that good looking DOG a pat on the head. I have collected a few tool but nothing of your ambition. Thank for bringing.us along.
This video looked like a lot of fun...and makes me hope I eventually live somewhere I can have a shop with cool toys in it
You may already have the info for your forklift. I was a master tech for Toyota Industrial for thirty years and have used google doc for repair manuals on older pre 1972 forklifts. they may have what you need. the cylinders are heavy but easy to rebuild and the kits were still very easy to get aftermarket. good luck. I enjoy your channel. everybody does cars or bikes. nobody saves old machine history much
I love the whistling tune.
You are unbelievably patient.
Dude. That looks actually clean I think you got yourself a Diamond in the rough.
Well done!
What a fantasticly cool old biulding must have been great to work there
A friend of my uncle gave me a 16" LeBlond lathe I couldn't move. I needed to watch your videos 35 years ago
I love your passion for old things adn the way you take us along for the ride. Keep it up.
Where and when did you develop this passion?
My back hurts just watching you move all of them. Awesome score. My guess for the ‘mystery box’ is a blast cabinet!
Evening Buddy. Is there nothing you can't do lol 😂 Every time I watch your videos it just amaze me on how hard you work and make it so interesting to watch 😀 Cheers Stevie 😎🇬🇧
Great job and series on getting that old iron back to your shop without incident or getting hurt along the way, now we await the videos on the construction of your new 300'x 300' (LOL) to hold these monsters and be able to use them. Good Luck and keep up the awesome work.
Awesome.
Of you ever get fed up with old iron you could go into logistics. What you achieved with so little was impressive.
I don't often get tool envy but I'm very jealous of your inventory. Keep up the good work!
Score of a lifetime
Can't wait to see what gets done next, maybe another building for storage.
Greetings from Panama City, I like old machining equipment, I had a lathe that maybe was on a ship, it had a naval shield with two anchors, from the year 1901, I enabled it but had to rebuild it, the thread transmission was like a ship rudder.
Cool video nice shop
I think the title of this video should be 'JACKPOT! GETTING THE MOTHER LOAD Vol. I'
Seems to me you're adding on, building another, or moving for another shop haha...when you decide to cull the shop tools I'm sure you tube and Instagram will get it done. Thanks for sharing
..GOOD ONE, KEEP SAFE..
Just subscribed! I am fascinated by the work you do! Really interesting!! Even to an old lady like me!
On the forklift, channel called "watch Wes work" he's is a mechanical genius. Good guy.
I have an old lathe like you got with the legs the smaller one. It’s a little sloppy but it works pretty good. Someone converted it from a line shaft to an electric motor with a cradle back in the 1940s or so. When I’ve had to move it I put it long ways by my truck and then lift up the side and remove one set of legs, then push it on. Then remove the other set of legs.
Awesome
what beastly machines you bought !! You should build a second floor in your workshop. Truly beautiful lathes- Congratulations
Doing the lords work. My father-in-law was head of maintenance at a pharmaceutical company and was forced to take a sledgehammer to a like-new Bridgeport mill and the parts were tossed into the scrap bin because it had been used in a factory where penicillin was made. I know it was for safety reasons as they were closing down and didn’t want someone with an allergy to get near it but every time he told me that story I died a little inside. Even worse the DRO and all the tooling had to go into the scrap bin too.
Loading your NEW 'Gems' onto that trailer made me think of a scene last night on Live PD. A guy had just bought a NEW boat (to him) on a trailer and was on his way home, turning left at a 4-Way Stop Intersection. A drunk woman did not stop and drove into the right side of the trailer, hitting the 2 side wheels of the trailer. It appeared that the boat avoided any damage, since the trailer wheels sacrificed themselves to save the boat. RIP Boat Trailer! =(
I saw that also. Great show
Man you did a trumendous work!👍
Makes me think of all the families that were fed from employment at this factory. The production was probably moved to China. Sad, sad. Hopefully these machines will be put back in production here in the USA.. my hats off to the salvage man
I had a hobby of rebuilding broken machine tools. You have some fine equipment there. Leblond and Cincinnati are premium machine tools. A certain amount of noise is to be expected in a gear head due to the design of the gears. If it is a bearing noise it must be replaced.
I like the ratchet binders. I've never seen that kind before
the wooden floor in the old shop is awesome, only seen this ones with a manufacturer of grinding machines in Switserland
Wow tons of work. Good job...I was stressing a bit when you lifted the first drill press by the pulley shafts, Looks like it turned out ok in the end.
Thank you m friend! Ya I realized about half way through lifting it the strap was putting pressure on that shaft, and I readjusted it! if you go back and watch closely, you'll see when I adjusted it at 8:45... No harm done, it still turns perfectly! Thanks for watching & commenting! I appreciate the support!
Hey, new to the channel. Cool videos, thanks for the work you do in making them! :)
And you moved all this equipment alone? Holy shit! Luv these old machines!
I have had good luck with getting long lathes through a narrow door by using the spin method. If you can get to the side of the door, you can start at one side of the door with the lathe hanging to one side as much as possible, you have to spin around the door jamb while backing out.
The other thing, is if you get a set of the skates, make a tie bar so you can tie them together so they both steer the same direction and also make provisions to be able to bolt them to machines.
All very good pointers
Those machine rollers are a great tool to use, but a trick I was shown years ago when the headroom clearance was still too low to get through the door, was the simple trick of greasing the floor and pushing the machine directly on the floor. You will be surprised how well that works.
nice !!!!
You are one tuff tuff MAN
