Your obviously aware of the phrase "if there's a will, there's a way" as well as, "slow and steady wins the race." Good job done, and all toes and fingers are still intact.
Thanks Gary, I'm really glad that you decided to retain this footage so you could edit and share this video with us. Most of the subscribers to your channel have subscribed for your educational and varied content. The vast majority of us are not here to be critical of your videography skills, we're here to observe how you go plan / execute your work activities and your hobbies etc. Please try to ignore the trolls that complain about a few frames of shaky video, or when there are audio issues. We can see past those issues and believe me it does not spoil the great content which is why we're here. Also try not to worry too much when a video series gets fewer views such as the series on the beefing up the trailer. I really enjoyed that series, but that content is likely not for everyone, maybe if you had used a title something like 'Beefing up my Trailer to Haul my Monarch Series 61 (16x78) Lathe', you may get a few extra views. I do have one quick request: A couple of years ago you posted a video 'Beauty & the Beast', where we first saw this fine Monarch. In that video you included a segment on the ongoing groundwork / preparations for an extra shop on your property. It would be nice to see any progress on that project in a future video. Thanks again for your great content.
Thank you Paul, I appreciate it. As far as the shop addition, when the pandemic hit and the prices skyrocketed I decided to hold off on the project. Everything just got way too expensive. Right now I’m just concentrating on trying to get the shop I have now in better order. Again thanks for watching. Gary
@@OldIronMachineWorks Hopefully the prices will come down in the not too distant future, until then I'm sure you have plenty of projects that will keep you more than occupied in your existing shop
@@paulhammond7489 in your dreams mate! No way are the fuckers going to drop their prices, they all think it's a way to claw back lost revenue due to the pandemic and this is probably worldwide, it certainly seems to be that way here in the UK.
Nice easy watch Gary. It makes me think how the Egyptians made the pyramids shifting huge blocks with patience and ingenuity. It will be a great addition to your shop.
and I thought I did well taking out a 450 pound lathe/mill out of my basement up 6 stairs and into my garage and up on a stand , then taking my new 450 pound lathe down to my basement shop by myself. My hat is off to you sir! Well Done!
Gott get me some of those steel toed sandals... I also like to move machinery by myself... Slowly, so I can think... Great video, cheers from Canada...!
The good part of hot water or steam cleaners is how well you can clean and removed years or decades of oils, grease, etc. The bad part of how well they work is you will find yourself trying to make everything, every nook and cranny look like the open areas. Can easily spend hours if not the whole day. But it is well worth the effort. Parts washers, depending on the solution are a great cleaner. Great job in moving the lathe in. So nice to have the right type of equipment and to be creative. Thanks for sharing Gary.
You’re right! Every time I clean something, or fill holes and furrows in before painting, everything I didn’t notice before I started becomes more obvious as I take care of the bigger problems. I get to the point where even microscopic things become massive, in my eyes, and I just can’t leave it alone. Depending on who they are, my friends either consider me to be a perfectionist or too anal for my own good. I think they’re both right. Gary is a calming influence.
Slow and steady as she goes!!! Great job moving that big heavy lathe and great video. I love the custom toe jack a super handy piece of shop built equipment. Thanks for taking us along truly enjoyed watching. Keep'em coming
There is something really satisfying about major machine or shed moves by yourself using come-alongs, rollers, wheels, one-off devices and plastic sleds. Its slow but very accurate. Industry just throws a bigger forklift at the problem, but when space is an issue it takes some thought. Thanks for the lesson
Thanks much for the long format! I know young people don't like to do anything for more than 10 minutes, I had made an offhand comment last video that they could simply skip forward if they prefer the shorter video. I was shocked to discover that many younger people regularly watch RUclips videos at one point five or 1.6 the normal speed and it speeds up the audio to match. I think it's irritating as hell, but I think it's clear everybody can get what they like. Except maybe you, haha. I know the editing can be time consuming
I appreciate you checking out the video, and it does require a lot of time editing videos. And time is one thing I don’t seem to have enough of life. Gary
True, hot water dissolves grease and oil, whereas cold water just pushes it around, and smears it everywhere it wasn’t before. Great video. Worth every minute. You are definitely the man.
Wow, just WOW, nice demonstration Gary of "how to", I've been doing this type of thing for over 50 years and still picked up a bunch from you, thank you for taking the time to make and post this video.
Gary, I think you could have dropped the "Semi" from your (Semi) Pro description about 40 yrs ago ! I coulda used your expertise the last time I moved my ol' 90 yr old Barber-Coleman surface grinder -- it seemed to get more difficult every time I had to move it . But ! ..... at about your 34:xx - 35:xx time register you were EXPOSED ! ........ at least your toenails were on your "steel-toe" sandals ! Oh for the shame of it all ! - LOL . Great re-run on the move of the Ol' Model 61 ! ...... enjoyed the whole thing as much as the first time . Once again you made me miss supper 'cause I couldn't stop watching . Old footage is good footage ! ...... keep bringing it on -- a lot of people haven't seen all your earlier stuff .
Like you say... 'Clearance is Clearance'. The riggers where I work could learn a few things about how to adjust your pick and pull points to get the load to move where you want it even if it isn't in a straight line... Great Job... By the way, Ox Tools referred me to your page. Was hooked as soon as I saw the Monarch. Can't wait to see it making chips.
That is seriously impressive. Not only does man move 3-ton machine into his workshop, but gets it up a 10 inch step and through a corridor with an inch to spare either side. On his own! You sir, have my utmost respect!
Thanks Gary. This content is great. You should get five(5) GOLD STARS for machine rigging and moving. Can't get any better than this. Pressure washing is a great job to do on a 100deg day.
Nothing broken no one hurt! Brilliant! Would like to see a video of your shop, maybe a top view drawing of all your machines and talk about why its there and clearances you need etc.
My wife and I watched this while enjoying my freshly baked banana bread and tea. Karin said, "It doesn't matter how he does it as long as it gets where he wants it, nothing gets broken and no one gets hurt." She has had some experience with me and my "toys" over the past 40 years. LOL Thanks, Gary. Your fans in Germany appreciate your efforts to share your work, expertise and experience with us.
Gday Gary, this goes to show that anything can be done, lots of thought and planning goes into a shift like this and go got it spot on and a massive job to be done on your own, I really glad you decided to show this content and I bet these many people are going to get some benefit from watching this, the setups you used will be a big help to others, it was a tight squeeze that’s for sure and I personally like the longer videos, great job mate as always and thanks for sharing, cheers
Excellent work,my wife and me we move anything heavy in the house,garage and my shop with dishwasher soap a little water work perfect but you have to be very careful for the next time !!!!!!!!!!!!
Great job man! You have mastered the art of the prybar! 😁 Kinda wondering why I've never thought to use wood that way 😏. I thought you had the bar rigged to the wood at first lol. It's the little things I guess. Thanks for the vid, Gary! Cheers! 👍😁👍
Oh the joys of being a one man show! Like you i have often had to figure out how to do it all alone, which is good for developing the trait of making it safe and eliminating failure traps , mostly. Enjoyed the vid, cheers!
Great video that reminded me of a Cutting Edge Engineering video. Machinist sure like to tear up wheels when moving heavy equipment. They also come up with great solutions to work around any issues they run into. Awesome maneuvering!
Back in my younger days, we pulled and tugged on many of machines with come-a-long and pry bars and pipe rollers, to place them in the shop. We had a oak tree just outside the back door of the garage we would tie to and start dragging them in! Good old days! Thanks for sharing! Ken
Harold, to be honest with you I think this Lathe will outlast my grandkids. Especially with the kind of use it will get now. I will use it mainly for rebuilding natural gas compressor valves. Machining Valves will be very easy on the Lathe. Thanks for stopping by. Gary
Gary, when you were making the corner, if my late father was still with us and watching he would have had a big smile on his face and said “like it had eyes”. Thanks for triggering the memory. Great job on planning the vector angles and making the adjustments. As always the content was top drawer, I like most of your other loyal viewers could care less about technical issues. I did really enjoy watching the motor come out, that is always so tricky to do.
wow Gary, that 50:43 minutes and seconds flew by.....thank you so much for showing us some really creative ways to move a lathe, I had been wondering in past videos how the heck you got that monster in the shop, I had no Idea you had to jump it up 10 inches......well done Sir........Paul
Thank you Paul. That 10 inch step has definitely added challenges when moving heavy machinery. I appreciate you watching the video and commenting. Gary
There is a lot to like about this Gary. For example; The Addams Family on TV...Classsic! I do love that tug bar and toe jack. Looked like a fun job. Machinery moving makes you use your brain, which is always a good thing. Cheers
Hm! A lot of interesting problems with multiple forces working against each other or with each other; the dolly bars, the winches, other stuff. Very nicely done. Interesting solutions. Adam talks about developing a sense for editing "how long" for the different clips, long enough to give a sense of the operation, but not so much that it gets boring, for the average viewer. I think he's developed a good intuition for it, I think, so... it's possible. :) If I remember correctly, he was talking to another youtuber about it. Just keep going where you're going! GREAT video.
I am new to your channel and love this content. Like the length of your videos about Machine cleaning, Machining and other related things about your work. I am really impressed by your work and just love watching your content one after another. Unfortunately in the Land down under we are light on all machines that are worth saving which is impressive what you get your hands on from time to time lol. Keep up the great work.
Craig, thank you. I really appreciate it. I do live in an area that’s very easy to collect way more machines than I should . LOL Appreciate you taking the time to check out my videos. Gary
Short or long, I always enjoy your videos. Great content always learn stuff from you and I have been working in the industry for 42 years. So keep em coming and thanks again Gary.
I was a rigger for 8 years. Ive moved some big machines out of and into some tight spots. love the longer video . you had 2740 views when I started watching and at the end was 2877 views. my piss-ant channel will never see that.. nice work on the move.
Doug, it’s hard to tell what videos will get more views. If you put monarch in your title you will probably see that your view count will go up. People seem to be fascinated with monarch Lathes. Always nice to have you stop by. Gary
Great videos the knowledge and experience you share is invaluable i personally really like the longer videos. Really like the steel toe caps by the way, all the best from across the pond
I enjoyed every minute of your rigging Gary. Fabulous. I have rigged a lot, having a few 10,000 pound machines, all moved myself. Great video. ----Doozer
Bloody good job getting that beast into your shop! You are very inventive with your chains and pulling gear. A neat job sir. Don't worry about the video shakes, it's not your fault if the iPhone fucked it up , but a newer one might help though lol
I appreciate that very much, and my current videos are being filmed using the new iPhone 13. Too bad Apple would not pay me to say that. LOL Thanks for watching. Gary
Man that was tight , but the master shows us how to do it again ! I've got to make one of those little toe jacks , good design . wondering why so many lathes ? thanks again for sharing Gary , oh by the way I checked out Max Grant after you mentioned him on one of your videos he is very good also .
Otto, I got a few more Lathes I’ve never showed on my channel. LOL As far as I can remember, I’ve always had multiple Lathes. And each one has there own separate strong points. I’m glad you checked out maxes channel. He’s very talented at what he does. Gary
Hi Gary, I took the easy way moving my 5000 pound Dean Smith & Grace into my workshop, my two brothers did it for me and banished me from being there while they did it. The only problem after they finished was I could not slide the tailstock off the bed, too close to the wall so they had to move it again! They used track rollers to move it.
On a modern skidsteer, at least on a case, when you open the back hatch with the radiator attached, the engine is mounted on what looks very much like that stuff, I can't remember the name, electricians use it to hang conduit and such. Anyhow the engine sits on a pair of these and the hoses have enough length that you can just slide the engine out about 3 ft to work on it. Monarch sure was not cheap about material, yet I see people struggling to get motors out pretty regularly, any theory why they wouldn't provide sliders or at the very least a piece of sheet metal you could slide the motor on?
The motors actually come out fairly easy considering the size of them. I would not be surprised if that’s the first time that motors been out of that Lathe in it’s 65 years.
Well, that was easy! 😃 I guess, as Gary says, “clearance is clearance”. I wouldn’t have believed you could get that lathe down that aisle. Fantastic work. I thought I counted 4 lathes. Why so many.? How will you decide which to use other than the job won’t fit on the smaller one?
You counted 4 Lathe’s, OK We will got with that number. LOL Some people collect stamps, I guess I collect Lathe’s. Every Lathe has its place for doing different jobs. I have not showed it much on my channel yet, but I do a lot of natural gas compressor valves in my home shop that all require machining on Lathes. Smaller valves get machined on smaller Lathes, bigger valves are machine on the bigger Lathe. Smaller high speed Lathes are great for collet work, my big lathe swings 26 inch so it handles the bigger stuff. I would love to have even bigger but as you can see I’m out of room LOL. appreciate you stopping by the channel, Gary
@@glennstasse5698 Glenn, I have showed my bigger Lathe in some videos before. The Lathe in this video I show at the back of the shop where I’m squeezing the Monarch past is the 26 inch. Looks like the same size of the Monarch.
Is that the Hwy 12 bridge in Rio Vista? If so, we just steamed under her in 'Persistance' last weekend. Thank you for sharing your adventures and work. I really love that Monarch. I'm looking for some big iron myself. Keep up the good work.
@@OldIronMachineWorks I just found your channel today and promptly subscribed. If you feel like enjoying some more old iron, come on out for a ride on our steamboat.

Now I know who to call if I need a piece of machinery moved.
Excellent video, filled with tips and tricks and heart-stopping action to the top....thanks for showing....man, that was quite a journey...
Thank you sir, I appreciate it. Gary
Great video, thanks Gary.
Very impressive job of rigging. Nice job!
Thank You Bud
Great videos the knowledge and experience you share is invaluable i personally really like the longer videos.
Really like the steel toe caps by the way, all the best from across the pond
All steel toes are going to do if that drops on you is amputate your toes fairly cleanly....
I enjoyed every minute of your rigging Gary. Fabulous. I have rigged a lot, having a few 10,000 pound machines, all moved myself. Great video. ----Doozer
Thank you Doozer. You definitely have some nice big machines that require being a little creative with moving. Thanks for stopping by. Gary
Bloody good job getting that beast into your shop! You are very inventive with your chains and pulling gear. A neat job sir. Don't worry about the video shakes, it's not your fault if the iPhone fucked it up , but a newer one might help though lol
I appreciate that very much, and my current videos are being filmed using the new iPhone 13. Too bad Apple would not pay me to say that. LOL
Thanks for watching. Gary
Kicking those rollers there. I've never seen those type of steel toe boots before like that. Nice job again 👍
Thank you sir, those boots are getting harder and harder to come by. Thanks for stopping by. Gary
12:12 Uncle Fester looks great back there with Carolyn Jones.....
Spectacular job. Hard to believe you pulled it off, never mind did it yourself. Great work and thanks for posting!
I appreciate it, thank you. Gary
Excellent video, thanks a lot
Nice lathe if your gonna fully restore it might i suggest a color other than gray mabey a red or blue metallic flake with pinstripes do it up nice
Great video Gary , enjoyed the content and humour . Well done on an epic lathe move.
I appreciate it Gareth, thanks for watching. Gary
Lovely!Good job!
Very nicely done :) great to watch.
I have a shop move coming up in the near future. Lots of good techniques and helpful hints here. Than you Gary! Love the videos.
Thank you sir, and I hope your upcoming move goes smoothly. Gary
THANK YOU, I ENJOYD. REGARDS R.
Awesome Gary, Man what a job, especially the rigging..lots of obstacles and great solutions. PS. I have a similar pare of safety sandals..Lol
Thank you Dean. Hold onto those safety sandals, they’re getting harder and harder to come by. LOL Gary
Man that was tight , but the master shows us how to do it again ! I've got to make one of those little toe jacks , good design . wondering why so many lathes ? thanks again for sharing Gary , oh by the way I checked out Max Grant after you mentioned him on one of your videos he is very good also .
Otto, I got a few more Lathes I’ve never showed on my channel. LOL
As far as I can remember, I’ve always had multiple Lathes. And each one has there own separate strong points. I’m glad you checked out maxes channel. He’s very talented at what he does. Gary
Hi Gary, I took the easy way moving my 5000 pound Dean Smith & Grace into my workshop, my two brothers did it for me and banished me from being there while they did it.
The only problem after they finished was I could not slide the tailstock off the bed, too close to the wall so they had to move it again!
They used track rollers to move it.
Willem, sounds like you took the smarter approach with moving your Lathe. LOL Thanks for watching, Gary
Like the 'boots'!
On a modern skidsteer, at least on a case, when you open the back hatch with the radiator attached, the engine is mounted on what looks very much like that stuff, I can't remember the name, electricians use it to hang conduit and such. Anyhow the engine sits on a pair of these and the hoses have enough length that you can just slide the engine out about 3 ft to work on it. Monarch sure was not cheap about material, yet I see people struggling to get motors out pretty regularly, any theory why they wouldn't provide sliders or at the very least a piece of sheet metal you could slide the motor on?
The motors actually come out fairly easy considering the size of them. I would not be surprised if that’s the first time that motors been out of that Lathe in it’s 65 years.
Well, I found this video very educational. I enjoyed it. Please would you put a link to those steel toe caps, they look real comfy in the hot weather!
Thank you Jerry. And yes they are comfy. Appreciate you stopping by the channel. Gary
Jup, it's on the limit for a palet jack, it needs to be in good condition! Mine was also giving warning signals 🥵
Well, that was easy! 😃 I guess, as Gary says, “clearance is clearance”. I wouldn’t have believed you could get that lathe down that aisle. Fantastic work. I thought I counted 4 lathes. Why so many.? How will you decide which to use other than the job won’t fit on the smaller one?
You counted 4 Lathe’s, OK We will got with that number. LOL
Some people collect stamps, I guess I collect Lathe’s.
Every Lathe has its place for doing different jobs.
I have not showed it much on my channel yet, but I do a lot of natural gas compressor valves in my home shop that all require machining on Lathes. Smaller valves get machined on smaller Lathes, bigger valves are machine on the bigger Lathe. Smaller high speed Lathes are great for collet work, my big lathe swings 26 inch so it handles the bigger stuff. I would love to have even bigger but as you can see I’m out of room LOL. appreciate you stopping by the channel, Gary
@@OldIronMachineWorks a bigger lathe? Holy cow, when do you need to swing more than 26”? Do you want to turn manhole covers? lol
@@glennstasse5698 Glenn, I have showed my bigger Lathe in some videos before. The Lathe in this video I show at the back of the shop where I’m squeezing the Monarch past is the 26 inch. Looks like the same size of the Monarch.
Is that the Hwy 12 bridge in Rio Vista? If so, we just steamed under her in 'Persistance' last weekend. Thank you for sharing your adventures and work. I really love that Monarch. I'm looking for some big iron myself.
Keep up the good work.
Yes, it is the Rio Vista bridge. Thank you, and thanks for checking out the video. Gary

I just found your channel today and promptly subscribed. If you feel like enjoying some more old iron, come on out for a ride on our steamboat.
