Steam Powered Machine Shop 79 Shop Work
Вставка
- Опубліковано 2 жов 2024
- The steam powered machine shop was put together to demonstrate how things might have been done in a 1925 in a small shop. Number 79 shows how I sleeved a hit & miss engine cylinder back to size for the original piston on a newer 1939 electric powered horizontal boring mill and turned some diameters to repair a round hay bailer shaft on the 1925 American Tool Works lathe under steam shop power. If you enjoyed watching, you might like some of my earlier videos, thanks.....Dave
I remember watching your very first episode years ago you were wondering if you were going to be able to make the cut well I'm very happy to say that every episode has been entertaining and educational and nostalgic. My congratulations sir on a very successful series!
I too discovered Dave's first video and have been a fan and watched ever since.. and always look forward to a new video. what a great shop and preservation of time and methods of an early industrial age machine shop. Indeed i second those congratulations..
I'm 72 I've been a machinist most of my life but when I discovered Dave's video made me wonder if I'd been born 50 years too late.
@@robertburns2415 Hehe! I feel the same. I am not a machinist but work as a repairman. First of all, I am so tired of this modern hectic life. Second, I'm getting fed up of all the little electronics that I can't repair but just throw away and replace. That's why it's so nice to sit down and watch David in his machine shop. In the background you can hear the wall clock ticking and steam hissing.
Att boy
Great to see you posting Dave, I hope all is well with you.
Glad to see you made it thru the winter, it's good to see you back again.
Yes the best UA-camr has another video. I missed see your videos so much that I started rewatching all of your old videos. Please keep them coming.
What a pleasant Sunday evening surprise! Hi Dave!
Welcome back Dave. Another great video. Thanks.
Hey hello Sir! Nice to see a post! Thank You!
I love your shop. And I love to watch you work.
Love your channel. Welcome back.
Good to see you're doing well. Thanks for sharing 👍
Nice work David, always enjoy watching. thanks.
Thank you for all you do! I can honestly say I have learned a lot.
Dave, Its been awhile. Nice to see you back. How long did it take, making 5 passes yo bore the block?
Hi Jim, On the coarse feed for rough cuts, it took about 15 minutes to make one 17" pass, so it was a couple hours of boring steady....Dave
Nice work Dave . Good to see you back . 👍👍👍
I have audio
Fascinating work. You're also quite good with video. I will continue to watch them.
Dave - Thanks for saving another engine, we all need this history preserved. And, thanks for bringing the clock back online, sounds just like my grandmother's kitchen (without the steam sounds of course)!
Gday Dave, I always enjoy seeing a new video from you, it sounds like you’ve been quite busy mate, im really looking forward to seeing the next instalment, cheers
Good job old timer, stay well and keep them coming.
Another great video. During my limited time in an automotive machine shop, my least favorite job was honing cylinders. Then we got a Sunnen CK-10, I think the second one in Oregon at the time. Life got a lot better after that!
Good to see you again Dave, loved the video, missed the tick tick of the laces on the pulleys. Just a suggestion, next time winter comes around I would love to see what you do to all the machines to preserve them, and what it takes to get them going again. I don't have that snow problem in Queensland Australia.
Thank you Dave, and it still amaze me how usefull century old equipment is. Other channels i follow is Adam Booth and Stefan Gotteswinter
Enjoyed watching. Great to see the old machinery working. Tony
Always a pleasure to watch you Dave and get my mind off of things going on in the world today. Thanks buddy
First thing I noticed is wearing a short sleeved shirt. Cotton T's can rip away pretty easily which is good.
No place for a suit and tie.. My dad was a boilermaker and knew someone that died wearing a tie, mixing with a PTO.
Blown away with that , sleeveing that cylinder is absolutely fantastic your shop probably more than any other shop iv seen is exactly what i and most other vintage / steam / machinist / mechanical sort of guys long for it is absolutely blissful to behold
Top man keep it up 👍🏻
Back from Mar-a-Lago did you bring any new blueprints?
Christopher from Down Under
Hi Dave, great to see you again. I was curious so looked it up; the first tungsten carbide cutting tool was 1927 (according to Wikipedia) so your workshop was right at the forefront of technology in 1925 😉
Mashine of future
Been watching Pete at Just A Few Acres Farm. You recently fixed up the head from his MD diesel that dropped a valve. I commented to Pete you could make it right.AL B.
Thanks Sally, hope it works out OK for him....Dave
Reminds me of the beautiful model Victorian workshop in the London Science Museum - it's on UA-cam somewhere and worth a look !
Great episode as always. Looking forward to the next installment.
This brings back fond memories from my childhood. I am now 76 but grew in my fathers machine shop learning from him all about the trade. I would love to go and see this shop. I really admire this machinist, Just look at his hands and they tell the experiences he has and reminds me of my dad. I would bet there are only a few like him left in the USA.
Thanks Paul, I appreciate that....Dave
Am using a boring head at the moment in a mini-mill. Much smaller hole, and in aluminum…
It sounds much the same, though, save at a quicker pace!
Yes, many, many passes, a few thou at a time. Gradually sneaking up on .875 inch, telescoping gage and a 0-1 mike.
Dave- I also have a G&L 25T and I always am interested when you are using yours. Thanks -----Doozer
I thought it was a g&l 25. I occasionally run one at work. Also have a g&l 340 that never has an empty table
@@erickmarkon9337 The HBM is a machine that just opens up so many more machining opportunities and makes setups so much easier. It was the next step in taking my shop to another level. --Doozer
I love the sleeve job I have a 2hp Stover KA that’s needs one.
l don't know how l missed this one David ? But here l am lol....lt is good to see you ans thanks for the video.....Shoe🇺🇸
Hi Dave I hope you are doing well, and great work on the sleeve job. thanks
Always enjoyable and interesting. Thanks
Nice to see a new video from you Dave ! I love seeing your shop in action. I enjoyed the boring and re-sleeving on the G&L as well .
Use a telescope gauge when line boring on both sides of the bar roughly opposite of each other and then add the exact diameter of the bar. Opposite sides of the bar will account for any kind of bend in the bar. Learned that trick when doing portable boaring
how things were done, before computers.... i miss that world
What town are you located in? I'm in the Harrisburg Hershey area and I saw you posted a clip from Williams grove which I visit every Sunday I get the chance for the flea market.
I absolutely love your little slice of heaven you've created. Theres nothing like a a living, breathing and working example of history. Besides Williams grove and Kinzlers theres not many of these treasures around anymore
I,m in southern central NY, Newark Valley, near Binghamton.....Dave
I had never heard of a hot bulb engine or an "oil engine" before. Do you suppose you could find one and explain how they work in a video? I am not finding a decent video on youtube.
Yay! Another great video, Dave. This time with a cliff hanger
First time watching the channel, Perhaps you might show at shot or 2 looking up toward the ceiling to see the counter shafts ?
Like a well oiled machine. Just wonderful.
Imagine if we put the same time in steam that we have fossil fuels where we would be today would be astounding
Thanks for sharing enjoyed
amazing "steam" powered drill, with a cord
You need a young man to help you pass the brain power along thanks for the vid
He's going to have a hard time there.
There are now hardly any "young" people
who are interested in the old technology.
Beautiful work on that sleeve David. Good to see you a gain!
I always find your videos inspiring and relaxing!
I dont see how all the constant, unlubricated cutting doesnt heat the cutting edge to dull.
Dave! Howdy!
Hey, I was curious about how they might have honed cylinders back in the day without a drill motor. I know there are honing machines these days and in more recent history -- I've seen a big vertical one in some Australian guy's shop, but when I saw you with that drill, my first thought was "Gah! That might not be a lot fun!" :) But then my second thought was... "Huh. How did they did that back in the day, before available electricity?" Did they have honing machines? There were lots of steam engines, so... lots of honing! Hm.
Good on you, brother.
Before electric some shops like railroad shops did a lot with compressed air cylinders and motors or did not hone at all. ...Dave
even the modern electrical power is still steam generated !
i'm not surprised that this series exists, but i am disappointed i didn't find out sooner
Using some o that good ole steam era tungsten carbide tooling.
Bonjour David,
It is always a pleasure to see you back in your workshop.
Could you please remind me the accuracy of your tools because I often see modern machinists requiring a thousantd?
Amicalement, Raphaël
Believe it or not, I can usually hold and measure less than .001" that way. Takes practice.....Dave
I am not getting audio Dave
I did my Stuart #1 bore between centers.
Good to see you are staying busy with projects!!
awsome work sir.what a great shop.larry
Did you filmed repair on farmall MD head from pete from youtube channel just a few acres farm? Nice videos... Keep up with the great work 😀
What is the smallest diameter you can bore? I'm tossing around restoring a farm windmill. Replacing the poured babbit with bronze sleeves.
Hi Anthony, I guess it depends on how long the bore is and what machine I can get it set up on....Dave
Stick with steam Dave, that newfangled sparky electric will never catch on!
Yeah, and dangerous too. Look what happened to that elephant....Dave
hey dave just stumbled across this video and decided to watch it through. first thanks for the video, the shop is very cool, secondly i noticed a duplicate shot that was put in during editing. the shot goes from about 10:34 -11:16 and then it repeats from 11:17 - 11:50. - Elijah
Right you are....Dave
Thanks for posting a new video, Dave. I always look forward to them. If any UK readers in the NW would like to check out our museum - the Anson Engine Museum, in Poynton near Manchester - you'll see this kind of thing happening near you. There are lots of videos posted by visitors on youtube, and we have a website. Later on today I'm off down there to work on a 1928 Crossley diesel (so a bit new for you Dave 🙂), 18.1/2" bore, 28" stroke, 13t flywheel (it was on a big press for forgings). It passes the time!
cheers

Hello David,
I like watching videos of a patent person like you.
Unfortunately, I have the impression that the gaps between the videos are getting bigger and bigger.
I hope you don't have any physical problems.
It would be a pity and a great loss if you didn't or couldn't make videos anymore.
Greetings from Germany
Back in 1962 there was a machine shop out in the countryside of Iowa. The equipment was all run by jackshaft and originally by a waterwheel that still existed but at that time run by a big old electric motor.
I wonder. Were there any accurate micrometers 100 years ago? What did the guys use in the old days to make accurate measurements???
Oh yes, and very accurate vernier scale calipers. There was some "feel" involved too.....Dave
Sir, just found your channel and wanted to comment that your shop and work is amazing and will be watching some of you older videos. Hats offf!!!
Wow I watched a half hour of some machine that I have no idea what it's purpose is lol...
That's great Roc, I hope you subscribe and watch from time to time and I'll try to explain it.....Dave
I was fortunate enough to have worked in an old machine shop some time ago.
When that boring tool started to make its cut I got goose bumps from the symphony of cast iron being incrementally shaved away..
If there is a place in the sky hopefully shops like this are up there.
Well done.
By watching this man's videos through the years, he has fostered a real interest in manual machine work with me. Its like learning at "The knee of the master!" For example, my mechanic mentioned I might have a bent axle in my truck. I thought how might Dave check this out? I said, "Pull out the axle, put it in a lathe with a steady rest and check it with a dial indicator."
Under normal conditions, can you get enough Condensate to hydro lock the engine?
Hi Anthony. I haven't but if you forget to open the drains after it has been sitting a few minutes, it will remind you of your abuse with a few small knocks....Dave
With a slide valve, it is hard to do, but that quantity of water is not good for an engine. The force of the water will lift the valve off the seat.
Nice careful work Dave.I especialy enjoyed the technique for inside measurement .I always learn something on your channel.Thanks. Msgt/ret Norm
THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Absolutely love your channel have had phone trouble lately lost all my subscriptions but I found you again an resubscribed so I got you again now
Nice to see you again. Was hoping to see you working on Keith's tractor engine head. Take care. Thanks for sharing your work. Regards.
Dave your video reminded me of someone that is no longer with us ,a cousin of mine who had a 1903 austrian lathe on leather belt .Granted it had a modern electric engine(but spindle drive was leather wide belt ) but that sound it made . . . exactly as on 28:23 .There is something to those flat belts and how they flap around like plak plak plak plak ,you cant hear that sound on any modern machine .
Good to see you again !
Doc Brown would be proud!
I sure like watching you repair and fix machinery like we use to you make it look easy but I know you have a gift to repair or build most any thing you get your hands on. Always looking forward to your next Video 👍
It would be awesome if there were shop classes. Lathes etc are about the same ( older southbend Lathes with the belt drive ) but very few people have experience with steam power . Awesome videos . Thanks for sharing.
I LOVE that this is still in operation... I think there may come a day very soon you will be grateful you kept it going.
looks like an old school house
Are you going to Rough and Tumble this week?
I'm always thrilled and excited to see a new video from you. As always so appreciated, thanks again Dave for all your time and effort!
A really careful achieved piece of boring and sleeving David ,Thanks for showing it .
So cool I've been watching for years now and still cant get over how impressive your shop is
Great video
🇬🇧😐
Thanks for sharing!
In times like these, energy company's pay guys like you good money to get their plants to run as efficiently as possible.
Good to see you posting Dave. Always enjoy your craftsmanship. Stay safe.
Have seen those bore sizing devices that fit through a hole in the centre of the boring bar?
where is your shop ???
Great to see the old shop making chips. Your projects are always interesting to watch and learn little tidbits. Thanks
Welcome back Dave. Missed you!
Back to the Future
Delighted to see a new video from you, displaying your usual meticulous work! 🙂
