Being born in the 1980s it's an absolutely mindboggle that these kinds of shops existed only half a century before I was born! About half of the rural landscape around me was from the era, and I've always had this romantic fantasy of what actually happened in those derelict structures. Thank you for being possibly the only person to answer those questions!
Hello Sir, Today I found your channel,I alsof are building a lineshaft driven machineshop/ blacksmith shop. I am a follower of Dave Richard. I wish you lots of succes in building your shop and I am looking forward to see the progres. Greetings from Friesland in the Netherlands
Amazing. You're really onto something special by restoring and using these old machines. My father was a professional blacksmith for 34 years at the American Smelting and Refining Company lead smelter at East Helena, Montana. He was the man. Trip hammer, too of course. He'd get a kick out of seeing your projects!!!
I watched it twice 🤩 I really love it. I'm also busy with a lineshaft shop, a bit smaller. I like to see more of your shop, I'm also learning on the way.
Thanks! More will come, let me know if there's a certain machine you want to see more of. Your shop is coming along well, love the bench grinder. Cheers
Intuition is the key to being able to fabricate and share that knowledge. In todays world it is almost a lost art. Thank you for sharing. I will pass your channel on.
What a great life you lead there. How lucky you are to have all that 'stuff' at your disposal. Excellent video, I'm a new sub, so will be checking out more of your videos. Thanks and take care 🙂
Great job with the workshop. I served my apprenticeship as a blacksmith in the 1970s (UK) and recognise much of what you have in your shop. I wish you well.
Very interesting and good to see. Where i worked ones, the shaft with the pullies was still hanging in the metal workshop. The town Ijmuiden was founded in 1875 or so and some building survived ww2. The building next to it, "Hera", is even way more authentic and used for a movie as a decor. In my Belgium stables, i found the wooden tree piece where the anvil was and it still has the small metal pieces you can put in an anvils holes to shape metal. Also the small blacksmith table with the tiny coals is still standing there. I was a metal worker, welder and weld inspector when i still lived in the Netherlands. I am Dutch. Keep it up. Regards from the Belgium Ardennes.
A great video which stirred many memories. I’ve never driven a workshop by steam but in the seventies I had a Flathers lathe of 1896 vintage powered by a petrol engine off a cement mixer till I could get a 3 hp single phase motor. I also had a Pratt and Whitney mill about the same size as yours serial no 138. P&W now make jet engines of course. In the 1960 I was working in the south of UK and a few miles away off the beaten track was w workshop that specialised in skimming put brake drums and other bits and pieces for agricultural machinery. The whole workshop was powered by a small diesel engine via a line shaft and his only light was a 12v bulb using the engines dynamo and a very long length of wire.
Just found your channel a few days ago - love what you are doing - your shop is a dream shop and has more equipment than a lot of pioneer villages/museums!
Wonderful shop! I love the traditional line shadt setup, its mesmerizing watching the shafts and belts spin, and all of the machines running it. I'd like to build my own machine shop like that. It's also so I can run the shop without an electrical power source of course 😆⚙️
I really like this! Great seeing your shop and all that you get up to in it - keep it up! Dave Richards' channel sure is amazing too. I'm always eagerly awaiting his next video. Now, the same goes for you! Best wishes from Sweden
Nice shop! I love it. I volunteer in a blacksmith shop that is supposed to depict 1830s technology but we have some newer tools as well but nothing is powered. You have enough equipment to make or repair about anything!
Super cool. You are definitely an inspiration. I am in the process of transitioning from a chemical engineer to 1920's blacksmith machine shop operator. I wanton be able to make anything I need to repair pre war race cars...1930's
if i remember right i might be wrong but i do believe that some animal fats and plants can be rendered to machine oil for cutting lubrication and so on
Thanks for sharing. That is some great work. Your channel reminds me of another young Canadian guy but I can't find his channel at the moment. If I do, I will post it.
Well that other guy is actually you. You must have had a channel name change. I don't know how I lost the subscription to your channel but am glad to have found you again!!!
Very cool setup...I wonder if that residue from producing wood gas has any decent lubrication for your machines...if so, you could make wood gas for fuel and the oily residue could be used for lubrication...it seems to be fairly thick, so some sort of thinning agent to make it more viscus...if that was feasible then you could more or less be 100% self sufficient!... Cheers!
Thank you for the fun tour. I have questions about how you started with all this, is it your place (or Dads old place), how you keep it all going financially, etc. I love it. Thanks. (from BC, CA)
amazing shop ! . where are you located in Ontario ? im in amherstburg Ontario and im in the meddle of doing the same thing as you , got myself a 1920s rockford lathe and two camel back drills waiting to be restored and hooked up to the lines shaft im setting up , got sevral anvils and making a power hammer for my sword making business . if your close buy i would love to hang and talk ideas and machines. also i noticed your hand crank drill press doesn't have a table on it . i have a extra one i can ship to you
Really like the shop. I plan on adding a line shaft into my small Blacksmith Shop to run an antique grinder. I'm having a hard time hearing your videos when you speak.
It needs to be readjusted every season due to my old building and the gravel floor as you mentioned. I've had no problems yet, but then again my work is generally +/-2 thou tops and not overly long. I'll be posting videos on turning pipe threads using a dog driver and offset tailstock. Cheers

Enjoyed the tour. It definitely has that 1920's vibe.
I appreciate it!
Beautiful shop!! Glad you have a shop cat, that is an absolute must!!😅
Great cat!
I like it. I have a 20" camel back drill like that, and a 1920 14x6 Hendey conehead lathe. I've considered a lineshaft in the shop a few times.
Nothing beats the "living" feeling that a lineshaft adds to your shop ;)

Look's like Heaven to me 😇 ! Thanks ever so much from old New Orleans 😇 !
Very interesting. My Grandpa had a blacksmith shop. I can remember turning the crank on the forge.
Fantastic workshop! Building and living a little bit of history, and learning traditional skills, is a wonderful and fullfilling hobby.
Love your shop nice equipment,like to see more

How in the world do you know so much in such a short life? Bravo
Three of us retired railroaders love your shop. Victor/Los Angeles.

Great video! Cool, cool workshop, so impressed. Looking forward to more videos.
Thank you!
Super cool, thanks for sharing! I think Adrian should come for a visit the first time you run your steam engine!
I do believe there's enough space on the shop floor to throw down a spare cot! Maybe some day... Cheers
@@castironmachines He would love it!
Nice shop . I’m looking forward to more videos about your shop & the work you do in it .Thanks for sharing it
Just found your channel a few days ago - love what you are doing - your shop is a dream shop and has more equipment than a lot of pioneer villages/museums!
That's a super exciting shop you have - looking forward to the steam engine and slotter refurbishment! :D
Why thank you! More to come, that is for sure!

Thanks for the shop tour, you have done a nice saving and restoring some very unique pieces, enjoyed watching.
Fascinating……You are amazing, really impressive, Thanks. I am a new subscriber….Rob, Wellington Maine

What a wonderful shop - you got a sub
Nice start on your shop looking forward to more videos. The steam engine will be a big project.

great job --I enjoyed it
Very cool shop. I am beginning construction of my new shop. It has both shaft power as well as electric power. Like that red lathe.
Very nice shop friend 😁
I'm hooked.

This is beautiful ........great job .I'm doing the same thing
way to go good idea
Thank you for the fun tour. I have questions about how you started with all this, is it your place (or Dads old place), how you keep it all going financially, etc. I love it. Thanks. (from BC, CA)
Nothing better than seeing a sharp young white man.
I’m jealous 👍👍👍
amazing shop ! . where are you located in Ontario ? im in amherstburg Ontario and im in the meddle of doing the same thing as you , got myself a 1920s rockford lathe and two camel back drills waiting to be restored and hooked up to the lines shaft im setting up , got sevral anvils and making a power hammer for my sword making business . if your close buy i would love to hang and talk ideas and machines. also i noticed your hand crank drill press doesn't have a table on it . i have a extra one i can ship to you
Are you looking to add more machines?
Really like the shop. I plan on adding a line shaft into my small Blacksmith Shop to run an antique grinder. I'm having a hard time hearing your videos when you speak.
I plan on getting a lapel mic, so far all my videos are made from a simple smartphone. Best of luck, a lineshaft adds life to any shop
@@castironmachines -- Awesome!! I subscribed to you yesterday after watching the 1929 Ford Model A video. Great job getting it started!!
I like
Very nice lathe. How do get it running true on a gravel floor?
It needs to be readjusted every season due to my old building and the gravel floor as you mentioned. I've had no problems yet, but then again my work is generally +/-2 thou tops and not overly long. I'll be posting videos on turning pipe threads using a dog driver and offset tailstock. Cheers
Somebody needs a steamengine to drive the lineshaft!
For the oil issue you should do somthing from lard then you whould be completly self suficent😉
Good thinking!
🐈👍🤝
