I have the model 13 with the line shaft. They are very good and heavy built lathes. We ended up hanging up the line shaft piece on the ceiling in the basement with an electric motor to drive it. Luckily mine came with the three and four jaw chuck, the original line shaft with the cone clutches, the tool steel centers and all the gears and other accessories. It was made in 1916 and was originally in a blacksmiths shop near New Hartford, Iowa. Then it sat in a barn for a decade and a guy bought it in the 1960's and used it for gunsmithing. We then bought it from him about two years ago.
Just got a 1930"s Sears Companion Wood Lathe at an auction. Gonna build a bracket for it and run it off a David Bradley Walk behind and some of the shows i go to in Upper Michigan and Wisconsin. Thanks for the idea. You guys rock.
very cool. incredible respect to those who had to pedal the damn lathe all day. spoiled these days with our digital readout, cnc's, water jet machines etc
That is great....love it. To get to size just stop it and check. Problem with my job, external grinding is that you are actually grinding it off....so if you go past size.....it's scrap. Oh for 2 years I had none.....office bods thought I'd left lol. So they put others scrap in my name.
I think it's rather ironic that, despite how unsafe that machine must've been to operate, that it's still impossible to throw a key with that chuck when you turn it on. Very fascinating! I'd like to see it with the speed cranked up to see what kind of finish it's capable of.
PlatinumRacing. how so? its simple got a face plate on at the moment, at one point chucks as we know them were rare and expensive but they were around when this lathe was built and probably an option at the time. so not throwing a chuck key is simply down to having a face/drive plate rather than a chuck. my 1915-1920 machine has both, including a large plate that has been fitted with an arbor so you can just throw it in the 4 jaw rather than swap the two.
Thanks for sharing your old Barns. However, even in the 1890's metal cutting tooling really appreciated an occasional drink of cutting oil. In a pinch (field expedience) you could simply get some lube from your truck's dip stick. Nearly any lube is better than cutting steel DRY! ;-) Wakodahatchee Chris
Those were the olden golden days! Those dead centers were lubed with a paste of white lead. As you can imagine, nice & toxic but you will find nothing better as a lubricant. Just don't lick your fingers! Very neat and great showpiece!
Nice Vid RK. Looks like Mike is in love. I had a small cringe watching that guy flick through a 109 yr old book with them greasy hands. it will deteriorate fast if he keeps that up. cheers.
You can tell how well he takes care of the book. I put him on the spot and he was just being cordial and accommodating when I asked him about it. He was careful not to smudge it up!!☺
This is just great,...so very interesting. BUT, I have to be 'picky' here,..Rob said this Barnes manual or catalogue was 100 plus years old and an original, and he handles it with those hands, ???
Thanks Reg!! You can tell how well he takes care of the book. I put him on the spot and he was just being cordial and accommodating when I asked him about it. He was careful not to smudge it up!!☺
That is outstanding. Great job, Rob.
That is a sweeeet rig! With the manual too!
Awesome! Thanx EJ! :D

It made me cringe to see him handling that beautiful old manual with greasy/dirty hands.

*Love Antique Toolz!!*
Whatever works eh!!☺
Looks like that lathe is still ready to do work, very impressive.
Yeah Buddy!!☺
very cool. incredible respect to those who had to pedal the damn lathe all day. spoiled these days with our digital readout, cnc's, water jet machines etc
I really need to get to one of those shows! The minibike you guys built at last years was awesome!
Thanks Bud!!☺
Love to the the 'hit and miss' actually doing work!
Yeah Buddy!!☺
Isn't the little IHC throttle governed?
I have a old Barnes lathe like that but a a bit bigger... Nice
Ahh, I can smell the cutting oil from here. Thanks for sharing that.
Imagine the stories that thing could tell eh!!☺

Yeah that 101 year old book was killer!!☺
Now that is really cool , Great share King !
Thanks for watchin' Mate!!☺
That is great....love it. To get to size just stop it and check. Problem with my job, external grinding is that you are actually grinding it off....so if you go past size.....it's scrap. Oh for 2 years I had none.....office bods thought I'd left lol. So they put others scrap in my name.
WTF is that shit ! I love them all and I'm glad you shared.
I always thought how did they do it way back in the day like T models an such thanks to you now I know take care :)
Yeah it's interesting how the lathe really didn't change a whole lot in 120 years!!☺
Might be old now but it's new to me. Thanks.
New to me too!!☺
Sweet setup! Neat video!
Thanks Bud!!☺
neat old piece,Rob knows his lathes like that guy knew spark plugs. guess i didnt see that when i was there on Sunday.
Yeah he's a Sharp Dude!! He was set up behind the tractor running the saw mill!!☺
ah,no wonder. i veered off to watch the garden tractor pulls

That's so coo buddy !
That Rob is sharp !
Looks like ol Mikey should get an internship with him !
Me and Mike stopped over his place one day and learned a few new tricks!! It's a shame he's 50 miles away from us, about 80 for Mike!!☺
That's always cool stuff!
Yeah Buddy!!☺
Hey it works !!!..It would be better than not having a lathe and being out in the middle of nowhere and needing one
I bet ya that thing made alotta money for somebody eh!!☺

Old machines are cool! :) Jack
Yeah he had a great set up there!!☺

You probably didn't have to lick it!! You probably absorbed it right through you finger tips!!☺
In high school our shop class lathes ran motor pulley and 3" leather belts stapled at the seems
WOW. some oldies there. Ours were not exactly new...but worked good.
Edward Balcomb yea im 53 so those were old back then lol
Hello from Businki! Excellent video turned out! put a finger up # 200! and we welcome you )
Neat old piece of equipment.
Yeah Buddy!!☺
Very cool .
Yeah Buddy!!☺
I want a lathe but I don't have room for the whole settup there WHEW!!!
You need a baby lathe like we got, that would suit you fine!!☺
You are right. I don't know how much more room I have. Everybody with a shop knows that.
what brand is your mini-lathe? It would be perfect for what I need.
It's an Atlas mk 2
My Dad would put some white lead on that dead center. Thanks for the video
That's old school there Bud!! I wonder if can even buy it any more!!☺
very cool
Thanks Bud!!☺
Excellent display! What show was this?
Jacktown in Bangor, Pa!!☺
Is that an old Cincinnati treadle lathe?
Nice Vid RK. Looks like Mike is in love. I had a small cringe watching that guy flick through a 109 yr old book with them greasy hands. it will deteriorate fast if he keeps that up. cheers.
You can tell how well he takes care of the book. I put him on the spot and he was just being cordial and accommodating when I asked him about it. He was careful not to smudge it up!!☺
805ROADKING Good to hear. Has Mikey proposed to that lathe yet?
a little resin would make it grip better ..very nice old lathe
Así se hace así se hace Está muy bien Qué es restaurar acceso
Don’t see to many videos of these old stationery engines running while hooked up to something
This is just great,...so very interesting. BUT, I have to be 'picky' here,..Rob said this Barnes manual or catalogue was 100 plus years old and an original, and he handles it with those hands, ???
Thanks Reg!! You can tell how well he takes care of the book. I put him on the spot and he was just being cordial and accommodating when I asked him about it. He was careful not to smudge it up!!☺
Yes, I did notice that,..
Cheers.
Some molasses dripped on the belt stops any slippage.
Muito bom!
Obrigado!!☺
Hellow... Tool machine 1890. Diameter 150 cm. Noe espic. Inglés
Who needs a tread mill when you have a pedal powdered lathe. No wonder no one got fat back then.
You could open a Machine Shop and a Fitness Center at the same time with that thing!!☺
*pop* whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh
Green Pretzel Unfortunatly the model M is a throttled engine, not a hit and miss.
