I really enjoyed these videos. Cause I watch both y'all's channels. Please do more with him and see if you can find more guests to do future projects together.
What I wanted to see was a bright orange lathe :) Great collaboration, lovely refurb. I've done a number of lathes now and it's so satisfying seeing the end result.
Nice to see this, I have a smaller, 6-8 inch version of this lathe w/o the pedal drive passed down thru my family over the years now as a motor powered bench lathe. No compound on it but a unique cross feed that pivots at the center of the carriage casting for turning tapers or ball ends. Has the twin lead screw, complete set of gears for thread cutting and an interesting Harper and Reynolds brass name plate on the headstock casting. A friend just sent me your die filer restoration video, count me as a new subscriber ! Thanks for your efforts- mjm
Beautiful Re-Furb, you now have a Cardio Machine you can use with a smile on your face and still be content in removing a chunk of skin and bleed on your work, nothing goes together better than that !!
I am really glad you did the collaboration with HTR! You two are awesome together and I love the interaction and light-heartedness between the two of you. Also, it introduced me to your awesome content! Looking forward to binge-watching your content!
Enjoyed the video James. That was really nice teaming up with Hand Tool Rescue to restore your metal lathe. I would enjoy watching y'all restore another piece someday. Thanks for taking the time and trip to produce the video. Y'all take care and God bless.
I have a 2 pedal Barnes lathe, no compound/taper. Absolutely love working with it. I hardly ever run it with back gear, just middle speed, light cuts & maintain flywheel momentum.
New sub. Found your Channel while watching Hand Tool Rescues Channel. I hope you your stuff is as entertaining educational and soothing as his Channel content.
Coming from HTR channel, nice video in here as well. I looked around your channel a bit, you're actually closer to my hobby as a carpenter. Even though I'm more interested in making a practical piece of furniture than decorating it in such detail, I've found quite a few useful tips and tricks in your videos, so you've got yourself a new sub.
thanks man. I usually have on big piece of furniture going int he shop at any given time. I just finished a full bed frame. and am now working on a pair of 8' long desks.
I love the collabs you do it’s so funny though every time you start using a power tool I gasp like someone said something outrageous lol shocks me every time
What frame rate are you using or what shutter speed when you recorded this video it looks like you got a lot of motion blur In the first 3 min but the Rest of the video looks good
Yes. And the first three minutes or so I had accidentally set my shutter speed longer than my frame rate. Didn't realize it until I'd been doing work for over an hour.
That is an incredibly hard one to find. And often worth more than the rest of the lathe. I don't know of anyone who can cast one either. But if you put out some feelers on the fans of foot powered machinery, you might get lucky. It's a group on Facebook.
I have a 1902 Drummond brothers treadle lathe I need to restore. Everything works except its missing the flywheel and treadle. I have considered making up a velocipede system for it just to get her working again. Mind you with the constant load shedding here in South Africa a manual system might be best.
Since the lathe is MANUALLY operated, it is technically not a POWER tool. No electricity or outside power source, it is a HAND tool ;-) I just wish I could have one of these. Over 100 years old and with a little cleaning and a few replacement parts, their just as good as new, something not so easily done today, I wonder why? I did watch "Hand Tool Rescue's" rebuild too.
they were missing a lot of part but thankfully there is a foundry that has patterns for them. I have been looking for a long time. and sure enough when I find one he is selling 2 of them.
Curious to see you do some jobs on these. I picked up a WF Barnes #6 last year with a motor retrofit done to it long ago. Does pretty good work for the small money paid.
Since carving celtic knot borders in cast iron and steel is such a pain in the neck, have you thought about learning pinstriping? That blue machine would look pretty snazzy with white pinstripes.
OH screw cutting! hmm that starts to make sense! Still you'd need a husky apprentice to pedal it. HAH I love it, Handtool has steel toed Crocs, and you have steel toed Clogs. I salute you both!
The one for hand tool rescue was originally hooked up to a motor. I won't do that in my shop as my shop is all hand powered but most of them were actually changed over to motorized power. More than half of them don't have pedals anymore.
Hi guys there is something I have not heard anyone mention about evaporust, if after you have finished removing all the rust and grease from your metal parts if you dip the parts in to evaporust then let it drip dry evaporust is awesome as an anti rust barrier that works amazingly well
I want to know how they can sell and send me the chain and the sprockets of the steering wheel. I am from Peru and how much would the cost be with all shipping
Because the rotational direction of the head needs to be the top turning toward you. It's one of those things that feels really odd and you think will be a problem but a halfway through a single rotation. Your body just gets it and you never think about it again. So it's far easier to pedal backwards than it is to create a system that changes the rotational direction.
@@WoodByWright funny how that works isnt it lol. Look at it this way one is for show and the other to go. If money were no object I would love a shop with belts and pulleys all over the walls for stuff like this with a big ole hit n miss outside like the old days.
man im sorry iv been a big fan of hand tool rescue befor i knew about you but now i can see how he works behind the seen but im not saing im not a fan of yours you do amazing work and have tot me alot but in all grate video
Lol. They do look complicated but surprisingly they are incredibly easy to do You're not putting much force at all in the pedals and because you're sitting you don't actually think about it much. I was actually letting my nine-year-old daughter do some metal working on it the other day and she was cutting threads on a small bolt I was making
Sorry the first or so is bad. unfortunately we had been recording for most of the first day before I noticed the settings were off on tha camera. I fix it a cople minutes into the video.
It's far more annoying to me. Thankfully it only lasts for about 30 seconds. Unfortunately recorded about half a days worth of work before I realized the settings were off on the camera.

The Tradesman Channel is another guy I watch and enjoy.
Is there a video of those new parts getting cast?
Cool as hell guys love to see both veiwpoints
There's something enormously pleasing about using the lathe to make spare parts for the lathe :-D
I just bought one of these lathes and I really enjoyed watching your restoration!!!
Have fun man!
Solo poniendo pasión se hacen trabajos así. Excelentes ambos y muy agradables sus videos. Gracias

Didn’t know these existed. Two of the best working together. Awesome restore!
they use to be common. but most got melted down for WWII
Love both sites, but your video shows a different side to hand tool site. It was great
Thanks Ray!

Send me an email I'd be glad to help. jameswright@woodbywright.com cattail foundry has a lot of the patterns to cast some of the parts.
Wow.....cool! Thank you for the video.
My pleasure. This was a fun one for sure.
I love the collabs you do it’s so funny though every time you start using a power tool I gasp like someone said something outrageous lol shocks me every time
It’s like an exercise bike that makes cool stuff!
LOL thanks. oddly enough I have spent most of my life with power tools Hand tools are still the new thing for me!
You crazy man. So much driving.
Yep. It was a fun trip.
Nice. Can you also turn wood on it?
yes. I have done that a few times!
Just curious, do ever do projects for patrons or fans?
Some times, if there is a video I can make from it.
I will keep that in mind. I had been thinking about scissor covers, but leather is better for that.
I really hope you do more tools with HTR. Especially a trendle powered table saw. That would be cool.😎🤘
That would be sweet!
@@HandToolRescue I know I'm trying to make one out of an old 1950 Craftsman and a Stanley sewing trendle.
that is so high on my list of must haves in the shop!

Great video. When was the Barnes #5 Velocipede Machining Lathes first deisgned? I suspect it is somewere around the early 1900s.
I want to say the first one came out in 1899 but I could be wrong.
Awesome video! The torch you are using at 4:46, what brand is that? It looks very cool
I am not sure. That one belongs to hand tool rescue. It's oxyacetylene
Grandiosely!
Thanks for sharing that
my pleasure
Love the blue I've restored a few things on my shop and used that rustoleum metallic blue on all of them
it has a nice shine and ages well!
Glad the lathe didn't turn orange 😁 Cool clogs 🙂
LOL if only I had hot pink on hand!
Hand tool rescue's sent me here I subscribed,Liked,Shared. All my best.
Thanks Bobby. Glad to have you. If there's anything you want to see let me know.
Great Job Fellas👍
thanks Steve!
I give it...about 2 weeks before a motor appears on that...🇬🇧☺️
LOL not in this shop. all hand and foot powered here. but I am an ultra runner so I get my training in got it. LOL
Wish I could find a replacement drive pulley for mine. A past owner sadly converted my Sebastian lathe to electric 😔
That is an incredibly hard one to find. And often worth more than the rest of the lathe. I don't know of anyone who can cast one either. But if you put out some feelers on the fans of foot powered machinery, you might get lucky. It's a group on Facebook.
@@WoodByWright Thanks, I will look them up. If it comes down to it, I will just make one from wood, but time will tell.

Only the best.
Curious to see you do some jobs on these. I picked up a WF Barnes #6 last year with a motor retrofit done to it long ago. Does pretty good work for the small money paid.
I have several fun projects coming up with it. some woodworking and some metal.
You have done history well! This i an important rebuild. I guess that they were too cheap to include an idler gear to reverse the rotation.
thanks. a lot people thing the reverse pedaling is an issue, but to be honest you never think about it after doing it once.
Love it!!
Nice! Can you pedal fast enough to use carbide tooling haha?
LOL. on high gear I can get it up around 2200 RPM
GRAD kip it going !!!!
Since carving celtic knot borders in cast iron and steel is such a pain in the neck, have you thought about learning pinstriping? That blue machine would look pretty snazzy with white pinstripes.
I am thinking of playing with that. this could look really sharp with some of that.
7:30 I call it Symphony of Spray Paint #9
OH screw cutting! hmm that starts to make sense! Still you'd need a husky apprentice to pedal it. HAH I love it, Handtool has steel toed Crocs, and you have steel toed Clogs. I salute you both!
LOL thnaks Bill!
I think Erich has a hot tub full of evaporust he uses after theses videos to relax and melts all his worries and problems away
It is a glorious thing?
Wait a minute!! Where's the tool for joining ends in leather belts? You rescued it!
That is on @handtoolrescure channel. He used it on his lathe.
Imagine motorizing that, instead of foot pedals! Future project maybe? :)
The one for hand tool rescue was originally hooked up to a motor. I won't do that in my shop as my shop is all hand powered but most of them were actually changed over to motorized power. More than half of them don't have pedals anymore.
You should've done a campy 1980s PBS home improvement show intro with him.
LOL we were thinking of doing something like that, but it never came together.
What, you didn't paint it orange?
LOL but I really wanted to!

I have this exact same lathe in my storage. I gave $20 for it in a storage unit sale
Nice find!
Collet a day with the jokes!!!LOL!!! How to work a lathe and develop your Quads at the same time!
Вот и встретились два одиночества... =)
Why do you have to pedal backwards

So it's far easier to pedal backwards than it is to create a system that changes the rotational direction.
I want one so bad... If I only had the space in my garage, money and cardio ability to use it..
yup. I have been looking for a good deal on them for a wile now. and finally found one, but I had to get two.
@@WoodByWright funny how that works isnt it lol. Look at it this way one is for show and the other to go. If money were no object I would love a shop with belts and pulleys all over the walls for stuff like this with a big ole hit n miss outside like the old days.
OH yes please. a good steam powered death trap!
Hit n miss not steam lol I dont do boom very well.
I want that!!!!!
you and me both. i have been looking for a long time. and sure enough when I find one he is selling two.
Oh brother!
man im sorry iv been a big fan of hand tool rescue befor i knew about you but now i can see how he works behind the seen but im not saing im not a fan of yours you do amazing work and have tot me alot but in all grate video
thanks man!
Did you just quench in evaporust hahaha
LOL when in Rome!
You'd have to be a professional drummer to be able to operate one of those
Lol. They do look complicated but surprisingly they are incredibly easy to do You're not putting much force at all in the pedals and because you're sitting you don't actually think about it much.

Your registration for the national meetup is going to get returned with a note saying, "You shouldn't have painted it blue."
LOL I have a reputation to uphold!
Needs more orange
I thought so.
The blue paint job looks patchy as hell. Was going so well
what do you mean? it is nice and clean in person.
Why is this so blurry
Sorry the first or so is bad. unfortunately we had been recording for most of the first day before I noticed the settings were off on tha camera. I fix it a cople minutes into the video.
Did you record your video with a 2004 cell phone?..sorry had to poke at you..
LOL ya that is what happens when you forgot to check the settings for the better part of a day.
Well, at least it isn't orange
LOL we were sad we did not have a can of hot pink!
Heya, if you're gonna do slo-mo in future, might want to change your camera settings. Very blurry in this vid
ya. I realized the settings were way off too late. I talk about that int he How to version of the video.
😃👌🏻👍🏻👍🏻👊🏻👊🏻
Collet a day? 🧀🧀🧀
Ahhhhh..wheres the garbage on the floor?
Lol. He's on vacation so that's why I was guesting this week
Those ways need some scraping... Not a lot, being tiny and all.
I am kind of disappointed regarding the orange seat :-(
Orange seat? What do you mean. Oh. You mean in his video. Yeah we were joking around. It was not painted orange. If you watch mine you'll see that.
@@WoodByWright I am kidding too, thanks a lot for taking time to reply. Orange was not bad idea though . thanks

That looks like it's hard to use and doesn't work very well
on the contrary it is very easy to use and works just as well as any modern lathe, it just does not go as fast.
I'm sorry I've been hiding under a rock but now I'm not ☺
LOL thanks Logan!
@@WoodByWright your welcome your one of my favorite UA-cam 😀
It was supposed to be black.
It originally was. But I'm not restoring it for historical sake. I'm restoring it to use in my shop for years to come.
Will someone explain the seizure-inducing video artifacts?
unfortunantly I forgot to check settings on the camera the first half of the first day so there is a bit with ward slowmo going on. LOL
@@WoodByWright Thanks; FFed that bit. Ick!
That's not punny.
LOL those are the best ones!
