Wow, what a tour, the history of the company laid out in patterns and models. Tubalcain, that is a gift to see what so often is scrapped and destroyed. Industry is being systematically dismantled in this nation to the detriment of us all. I hope that Mr Malley can save that history it truly is a piece of America. Thank you for showing it.
Thank you for recognizing the importance of this factory tour. You are so right, a systematic and permanent dismantling of industry. That way we can turn our attention to frying hamburgers.
Miles, do you know the significance of each color tag? I make restoration tags, including for these Beverly shear models, but I never understood the color code! Thanks for sharing this history with us!!
Sad to see that part of our nation fall into oblivion, but thrilling to see that someone has the foresight to at least document the last remnants of that industry. Thank you for doing this and sharing with the world. Hats off to the Malloy fellow for letting you inside, too.
The type of horn Miles is pictured with is rare to see outside of Europe. Glad to see the spirit of manufacturing lives on at the building and it wasn't knocked over and replaced with a cell phone store.
Ahh, the skills of the pattermaker, some of those things should be in an art museum, so nice to see these, makes me sad though with the demise of these industries, in the US as well as here in the UK, looking forward to the next one - Henry looked a bit shy too!
I lived in that neighborhood until 1970. I never realized how much history was all around me. I knew it was a very old neighborhood with lots of old homes and businesses.
I really enjoyed part one and was left with a bittersweet sense of nostalgia and I bet you felt it too. Henry sure marches to his own drummer! Looking forward to part two. Thanks, Mr. Pete! :-)
Those beautiful mahogany pieces are works of art. I work with wood, and it's getting harder to find gorgeous tight grain material like that. Even those old blueprints and match plates would look great framed on a wall like art. Which they are. Thanks Mr. Pete.
I recently saved one that had been outside for quite a few years . I cleaned it up with little trouble and was using it in my shop . I love this thing I had been looking for years after the first time I used one . Tools like this are art !
How well I remember shop class in the mid 70’s and the Beverly Shear! It occupied a prominent position in the shop close to the Hossfeld bender. I remember Mr. Bagby, the shop teacher, telling us “you boys be careful with Beverly! She’s got a mean slit!”. Ha! He just passed away recently, but man o man did he ever teach me the most useful stuff I learned in HS! I’m glad Hossfeld is still going though! They started in the 20’s I believe, and that would be another interesting tour! Hint hint! Thanks for a great video!
I can imagine loading onto a school bus, Mr. Pete making sure we had our permission slips, and sack lunches, telling us to behave and don’t stray from the group. Great field trip!
Wow so great to see it Al. The old shop must have made millions of shears . Can you imagine working there and being involved with such machines . Im sure there probably used almost world wide. Thanks Lyle , teach.
I spent many hours behind a Beverly Shear in the sheet metal shop during my naval shipyard career. One of my bucket list items is to acquire a beverly Shear for my home shop. Thanks for the wonderful tour MrPete. looking forward to part two.
Hello Mr. Peterson, A very interesting field trip... I will be tagging along for part 2 when you release the video... I hope you have a good weekend. Take care. Paul,,
Those were great Shears. We had one in High School in the '50's. A design that could not be greatly improved upon. I didn't realize there were so many sizes.
THANK YOU ! ,...for your videos and sharing your skills . the vocational part of my schooling was where i excelled . You would have been and are a wonderful shop teacher ! although mine were equally as skilled and dedicated to teaching, Mr. Bush and Mr. Elliot and Mr. Vair in Kettering Ohio ,...THANK ALL OF YOU !
Two years ago I did a tree survey at an old foundry in Skokie IL.The furnace had been shut down several days before and a skeleton crew was sending out the last materials to the new foundry.The foreman guided me through dark hallways littered with countless forms and and abandoned machines.It gave me a kind sad and reflective feeling. I kept thinking of busy crews working around the clock during past times such as during WW2.I stopped by it is rubble now.
Our shop at nasa had every type of sheet metal tools from manufacturers like Di-arco, peck-stow-wilcox, Roper Whitney, Cleeco, wiss and of course Beverly. Thanks for the memories.
Thank you for the tour my shop teach. This takes me back to when American items were second to none. So nice someone is making a video reference to the great hay days. You Sir are just like my shop teach. He always had a positive outlook on life and the dream all his students would succeed. I can tell you for a fact that his success rate was a high ninety percent. Shame it all must end. Peace
@@mrpete222 The Atlas/Craftsman lathe tutorial you offer, would that be the lathe from the 1940s? Mom bought dad one before they were married in '49 and I have it.
Thanks Mr. Pete! I love old factories, unfortunately when they close it saddens me. All those jobs, gone :-(. My old hometown was an industrial city. The first factory had 6000 employees, often running around the clock. It moved production to other locations around the country and also outside of the country :-(. Only about 1200 jobs now. Corporate and research and development. My second job also had 6000 or so employees. The plant consisted of many large buildings. The whole place utilized 126 acres right in town. I worked there twice actually. I put in 4 or 5 years and was layed off. I found other work and was called back after a 10 year layoff. The place had changed hands, purchased by a larger concern. My belief is that they bought the company just to get their hands on the contracts. Only about 3000 employees now While I was working there the second time I had a supervisor in his mid 20's. I was about 10 years or so older than him. He said, "buy the car, boat, camper etc. that you want. We have contracts coming out of our ears, with no end in sight!". The place was notorious for layoffs so I knew better than to listen to him. Two years later I was layed off and paid severance pay. It closed a few years later. Only about 5 of the original buildings are still standing. The rest have been removed as if they were never there. The city is trying to breathe life into the area with a small amount of success.
I'm surprised no one bought the property rights or patterns in the liquidation, that's if they were for sale. Surely the patents have long expired. if you had all that tooling, engineering documents, blueprints, etc., it wouldn't take much to get it the manual shear business provided you can compete with off-shore manufactures. A lot of small job shop iron foundries could produce those castings. Thanks for taking us along mrpete!
More dismantling of America. Shut down the education, send the jobs overseas and companies like this no longer have a market. Interesting they went under without selling off the assets, suppose they made the decision and it wasn't a bankruptcy. At least all that didn't go to a scrapper. Thanks for taking us along Mr. Pete.
Very pleased you managed to wipe the drool from the Mahogany pattern.😀. Lots of those shears in the crate near the end were usable. Probably bound for the scrap bin.😠
Looks like you guys took the scenic route thru Chicago -- Vincennes Ave is an old indian route from downtown Chicago - Beverly Shear is on the boarder of Chicago and Merrionette Park and the safer route coming from west would be getting on I294 south exiting at 127th street in Alsip IL and then north (26 blocks ~ 3 miles) to 111th much easier.
Great trip. Would've been so much nicer seeing the factory still working today. But it think I would've given up there from what I'm hearing about Chicago.
So why are the cutting blades at an angle and not vertical on the larger ones? Presumably to make the cut easier. Or maybe stops the cut material from curling.
Remember when Henry was an infant I work for a company and we have a lot of old paper drawings and I have asked for a few of them once they have been digitized so I can have them framed. Those old drawings are art to me.
I've had several of the shears. Ended up with a B3 I bought as a ball of rust,even sent the blades ther to be resharpened.sorry to hear it closed. Tell Matt I need a Tapmatuc 70x haha. Glad you didn't get shot there.
Years ago at an auction I bought a Weaver high speed screw press that had a throatless and a conventional Beverly Shear mounted on either side of it. I paid 90 bucks for everything. I basically figure I bought it by the pound instead of by the function. Mr. Pete, I have an extra I believe number 2 Beverly shear. It needs to be cleaned up and painted but appears to be fully functional. If you would like it, you are welcome to it.
I ordered one during the start of the coof last year. Never got it so I cancelled my order and later found out another company bought the tools, fixtures and stock. Reordered and got it.
Well, this makes me sad. I had always thought I would get one new when I could justify the expense. It is good these artifacts and documents are in the hands of someone who appreciates them. I hope that farther in the future they will become more widely known and not fall into obscurity.
@@milesomalley5605 So the company that now makes them took only what they needed and left the rest? I guess at the point where the designs have been thoroughly copied anyway they felt there was no point in keeping control of all that material?

I really love to keep all my tools as complete as possible. Appreciate any information you may have. Thanks!
Mr Pete, Im an engineer, I restore antique machines and equipment. In my spare time, I peruse the yard sales and flea markets in my areas. Ive been able to stock my shop with high quality, Us made tools and TMDE over the years. I avoid Chinese at all costs. I recently bought a complete lot of starrett measuring equipment for a low price. All of the instruments are still accurate, having been verified against certified similar instruments. Im amazed at the quality of this stuff. Im trying to clean it up, most of the gauge faces are browned by years of being used in a machine shop. Ive polished the glass with cerum oxide with good results, want to clean and brighten up the gauge faces etc, How do you recommend doing so. Thanks for the videos, I know the work that goes into them, Really appreciate the knowledge.
Mr. Pete...Would you know anybody who can tell me what the B2 shear blades we're made from ? It's a long story but I have some I need to harden and temper.
so sad to see it closed, and simple but elegant equip get pushed out by foreign comp. I hope Miles incorporates some of the match plates as wall art, as well as some of the wooden patterns. Obviously a Beverly Shear is useful to him, so he'll have his pick.
All of the patterns and memorabilia is staying and will be displayed. The Beverly Shear building is an important part of our community and we are proud to now be the 3rd business to call it home.
Does anyone know if it's possible to date a Beverly shear? I have two, and I would really love to know how old they are. I know ZIP codes came into being in 1963 but is there any other way to date a B-1, B-2 or B-3 more accurately? Thanks
I just was down around that area today and I am appalled at the garbage on the toll and express ways. I thought I was going to have a wreck, I really did and so to hear you had a blow out does not surprise me. Our elected officials in illinois are not keeping our roads safe at all, which is ironic in the age of “safety”..

Just think of all the man hours and skilled hands that made those patterns and models.
Really enjoyed seeing the the prototypes and the samples. It was nice of the new owner to show you around.
That is just sad our country losing some more of it history , but on the bright side Mittler Bros. Machine & Tool, is now making the Beverly shear .
...HOO-RAY-!!!
Oh WOW!
Thank you for sharing. Thanks for taking us along. Enjoyed.
The type of horn Miles is pictured with is rare to see outside of Europe. Glad to see the spirit of manufacturing lives on at the building and it wasn't knocked over and replaced with a cell phone store.
Or a tattoo parlor or one of those places you get a suntan
As a sheet metal worker, I spent many days cutting heavy gage black iron elbow gores on a Beverly shear. Thanks Mr Pete❤️

The residential area Is quite nice, very very well-kept homes. Not a salaam at all
Thank you Mr Pete.
I'm so happy that you got to go through the factory and see and touch all of that neat history. Thank you for taking us with you.
Thanks
It appears the new building owner enjoys the patterns and models he has rediscovered.
Love the face on the mill behind you lol!

I really enjoyed part one and was left with a bittersweet sense of nostalgia and I bet you felt it too. Henry sure marches to his own drummer! Looking forward to part two. Thanks, Mr. Pete! :-)
As Montana where I live is a machinery desert, I bought a new B3 a few years back. It was around $1200.00 as I recall.

...that place looks like a real CLIP JOINT to ME-!!!
(get it? get it? get it? snucker-snucker-snucker!!!)
Nudge nudge, wink wink, say no more……..
These may seem primitive but they had their place along with ironworkers, box benders, foot shears, tin snips. I bet every custom car shop has these.
