Nice one Norman! Great to see these old girls belted up and being used in anger to get some parts machined for the Wallis. Very reminiscent of Fred Dibnah's yard!!
Excellent..The CNC machinery of yesterday 😁 I always like to imagine what a difference this machinery made to machine shops when they were first delivered and set up.
Great video again hello to the green duck ,great to see your collection of old machines and still doing the job ,your guillotine cutting that steel plate ,made the safety officer clench his bum cheeks.
Good to travel back and see the old ways being kept alive with humour .also was very pleased to see a skateboard , everything good in life! Great channel to learn the Alf n Stacey non sense 😂
Love the content. As an electrician I had a hard time hearing the contractor on the motor starter. It’s an easy job to rebuild it and then no “hum”. Maybe it’s just me 🤔 keep up the great videos!
@@wihardy Not just you. It may or may not have a screw driver jamming it shut at the moment. What do you clean up to get it to stop I’ve cleaned up the contractor faces but that didn’t help??
Goodness a mid week special! And what a special!! Nice to see the safety gear in place :-) Omg! What a wonderful menagerie of belts and stuff. But Norm!? Why are these not driven off a lovely old stationary steam motor? Carful of the hot bit there boy! ;-) Lovely job in the end. Thanks for sharing
@@Nick-pr5gw Elf and safety is a priority here!! This is but a very temporary set up we have plans for a full steam powered workshop at some point. Got to get the Wallis done first. Thanks for watching Cheers
Time consuming but enjoyable to work in the old school way ! David Richards (old steam powered machine shop) on here would give you a few tips... Thanks for sharing your day Brian from South Yorkshire.
Would that entire traction engine that your restoring have been built with belt driven tools like that or would they have had electric motor when it was built?
@@dancockydan1589 Very much similar to this. Would have all been powered by a lineshaft. Individual motor powered machines came in around 1950. The Wallis was built in 1907.
11mm drill in what looked to be a shaft driven denbigh drill press, I'm surprised it didn't cough like it was choking on a fish bone and spit the thing across the workshop!! I think you will find you meant 7/16"
@@freemanjackmsiradio nope was definitely a split point 11mm in a Albrecht Keyless Drill Chuck running in a redman drill powered by an electric motor. 😂
@@VintageIronuk Have you no shame??? Joseph Whitworth is currently rotating in his grave at at least 800 rpm!! (Albrecht?? sounds German, I suspect continental influences at play here, no wonder it accepted a mm standard!!)
The solenoid on your starter needs sorting if you don,t it'll burn out the coil. Old style sparks needed as todays crop will tell you it needs a new one
@@jonrowsam6793 It was handy and powerful for the small foot print. Nice to know what spindle taper is now we can get some tooling. Thanks for watching Cheers
I’m surprised that the shear doesn’t have a place for a hold down bracket. The ones I see in my 19th century do have them, like a punch. And where is that buzzing coming from. That doesn’t sound like it should be e happening. You cheated on the drill chuck. Those came later. An old Scorn, Greenlee, or even an o,d Jacobs would be closer. A hardened pin would usually be put into the hole to form the hole around the pin size needed. Plenty of oil or lard was used to help prevent the pin from seizing. I suggest making the slot taller on both sides. About. Illini in the 19th century. While lathe tools were modeled on the chisel and so the lathe was quick to develop. The planer also used modified chisels similar to lathe tools. But the milling machine cutters were modeled after files. A cutter would have up to hundreds of tiny teeth. So milling machines weren’t important until, in the 1860’s, here in the USA, Cincinnati did experiments and found that a few large teeth, coupled with flood lubricant solved the problem and mills finally began to develop. Oh, and never climb cut with these o,d machines unless you’re just skimming. It can grab the work, snap the bit and damage the lead screw.
It's not worth making fun of safety issues, it could be embarrassing if something happens... At least I'll laugh my ass off, even if I might comment sympathetically...😮😂
@@peketee2278 we aren’t making fun of being safe at work we are making a stab at the regulations that have gone so far as to make it unsafe in some instances such as wearing extra lose clothing and a hat that makes it hard to see and concentrate with no benefit other than to tick some boxes to save an employers ass in court. Only you should be liable for keeping yourself safe. 👍 if your going to be laughing your ass off at someone getting hurt at work that your problem 😂
@VintageIronuk sometimes it's better to keep your thoughts to yourself, that way you won't get into embarrassing situations. Of course you do as you want and the consequences are your problem😅😅
@ Definitely not. I feel that if people made more of a fuss about some of the never ending regulations us as a country would be able to build back our once great manufacturing infrastructure. We need less clip boards and paper work and need to let the engineers and trades men get on. Just my opinion 👌
@VintageIronuk I completely agree with that, but making yourself a target for those who will say, "I told you so" when something goes wrong is not very far-sighted in my opinion...but as I said, that's your problem...waiting for the next videos...
Lovely to see these old machines being put to use as designed and not languishing static in some soulless corner of a museum. Fabulous stuff. 👏👏👍😀
I enjoyed watching you re learn the skills of the past as you went along. Excellent result. 👏👏👍😀
Served my apprenticeship in a blacksmiths work shop much the same..magic..
Love it all,well done you..
Nice one Norman! Great to see these old girls belted up and being used in anger to get some parts machined for the Wallis. Very reminiscent of Fred Dibnah's yard!!
@@simonwhite9258 Time consuming why to go about it but rather enjoyable I think. Lots to do to get it set up right.
No steam power?Wimps

Fantastic video.
You had me in stitches so many times Norman.
Was that hot?
Keep up the great videos. 👍🏻👍🏻

great Norman nice to see you are able to work to the safety standards of the 1800s how much of a headache did the rubber duck get cheers
@@eldonwilson712 Thanks. If the duck had hair when we started, he was definitely bald come shut down!!
Cheers
the mix of tec is amazing you should show the belt conversion or the mig welder cheers
Fantastic Video! Love it!!!
@@MtPhillipMetalWorks Thanks for watching mate. We must be mad!!!
Cheers
This is bloody brilliant!
@@markloving11 Thanks mark 👍
I think you have to resist the upwards force when using that shearing machine, that's probably why the cut turned out jagged.
What a great little old time workshop. Just needs a steam engine to power it all LoL!
@@ELR1-C In good time, little bit of work to do yet. Thanks for watching

do you have an old centec milling machine ? been after one at right price for 5 years !! regards laurence

@@fredwaining5752 definitely. I took it apart and cleaned the contacts but it didn’t help. As I found it In the scrap I bet that why she was binned.
Only thing that wasn’t dangerous in the workshop was the toothless saw blade,my kind of organisation 😉
@@leedale4008 It may be as sharp as an ice cream scoop but you’re still not going to convince me to stick my finger in there.

what is the make of the milling m/c please

Put a small hole in first.much easier..
Not the way to make a hinge,,,anvil to start using a mandrill then Finnish in a cressblock.
Your anvil is a disgrace! It needs to be re-machined and re-heat-treated.
