This was very informative video. I really appreciate you keeping these old machines running and bringing us along as you restore them and put them to use. Great video. Keep them coming. The mic was a good addition.
Excellent video!! I'm getting ready to install my first lineshaft in the Blacksmith shop. It will run off of a 1920's Fairbanks Morse engine and be hooked up to an antique grinder like yours. I don't have an idler pulley though, so for now I'll run the grinder direct from the line shaft until I can find one. When I'm done grinding, I'll simply stop the engine. The engine is not guite ready yet. I'm still restoring it.
Best of luck, a lineshaft adds great life to any shop. There's a hidden Fairbanks Morse 1-1/2 hp in the corner of my shop too if power goes out. Cheers!
Congratulations great workshop I'm happy about the Video, your belt drive is an Item I too want some experience with. For example, a historical shop belt driven in a small old town would love to open for the community along with its history and have it up and operating. Great thanks :)
@@AstraWerke You got it! if you ever need to rearrange pulleys or bearings on the shaft (new machine etc) you don't want a rusted shaft to ruin a babbitt bearing surface, leather rings called "shaft mice" ran along to keep them clean

Always look forward to seeing your videos,thank you for posting once again !
Always love seeing all the older machines you have. The wireless mic is a big improvement, makes you much easier to hear.
Well done keeping these old machines going. Good to see someone with the necessary skills too.
To someone unfamiliar with this technology, it seems Rube Goldberg in design!
Well done!👍 👍❤️

Nice addition
Greetings from Maine, just discovered your site, interesting and enjoyable to watch
Reasonably quiet. I remember how noisy the belts were in high school machine shop.
Excellent!
Great video

Nice work man!
I love this channel. What is the dancing ring for on the main shaft?
I think it's mostly to keep the shaft from rusting (basically by being constantly polished) - but correct me if I'm wrong on that

These are called shaft mice. They are used to remove the dust that can build up on the shaft.
Awesome...
