- A proper look around my workshop as it currently stands! Around 50 feet of shafting and 9 running belt driven machines packed into a garage sized shed.
Thanks for watching!

I love to see people restore these old machines 😊
Absolutely fantastic. You did a magnificent job on that shop. Just always be aware of all that stuff turning and don't let anything grab you...
You definitely want more space, wery nice workshop, and amazing work. thanks for sharing.
Wonderful Mechanik . Best regards
Absolutely wonderful, love your work.
Thats a nice collection of machine tools you have.
Thanks for the video.
Very cool, what a fantastic workshop 👌😎
You are kidding yourself that your set is what we would have seen in the early 1900 - 1920ish. They would have given their eye teeth to have your set up. Even to day your set up is envious - you have done a wonderful job.
Thanks!
Thanks Alex, beautiful workshop and machinery buddy, thanks for sharing
What an absolutely amazing workshop! I love the turn of the century style machine tools. Wonderful!!!
Thanks!
lovely video thanks. it's a real pleasure to listen to a young Englishman speaking good clear well thought out English. thank you again.
Excellent!! Nice shop. Just subscribed. I'm planning to add a small line shaft to my Blacksmith Shop soon. I have an antique engine, the line shaft with hangers and 2 pullys, and some belting. It all needs restoration, and I need an idler pully as well. The only thing it's going to run is an antique grinder which I'm restoring now. Anyway, looking forward to watching all your videos!!
Thanks! Lineshafts are great fun
Great work shop thanks for the show around of everything working.
Brilliant video and fantastic workshop
Cheers Dave!
Thank you Alec, very interesting.
A fair bit of shed envy going on here Alec. Very well made video 👍👍👍
That is an increadible shop, love it
Thank you!
Lovely shop. Thanks for the tour.
Very cool shop and some beautiful machines
Thank you!
So cool! I have seen some of that type of machinery (mostly adapted to electric motors). Definitely seen with line shafts. I suppose here in the USA the OSHA inspectors might have a heart attack. Love your channel on this first view for me. Subscribed. Thanks.
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it
you are a fred dibna reborn how lovely to see all the machinery working
Excellent vidio beautiful machines so quiet the only thing missing is a stationery engin thumping away. Thanks for taking the time to share
Thank you. An engine is definitely missing!
Really wonderful shop with a incredible compact layout!
Really nice machines and shop!
What a place! Love it. I could spend hours in there. I spotted a power hammer as well!
Aha the Anyang! Probably the biggest earner in the shop and the only machine not British! Haha
Absolutely amazing work, cheers from Canada!
absolutely stunning workshop tour!!! what a lot of effort. Halifax must have been a very busy place back in the day,, i have 2 SB&W lathes from the teens (Halifax) but have also seen a lot of other stuff from that area.👍👍
Thanks! It really was the heart of the machine tool industry
Good on you, mate. Nice setup.
Wow! I'm in the very very beginning of building a steam powered machine shop. Lots of inspiration thanks.
Good luck! Would love to see it when you do!
Very glad I found you, good work on the forge and editing videos
Cheers! Thanks for stopping by!
Absolutely amazing, love it. Got to get my lathe going now🤔😉
Great shop man I’m jealous.
A living history project bar none. The steam tease at the end was ………………….. 😳🤔
👀
Awesome from Oxford Michigan
Greetings and Salutations from Pennsylvania Alec! Just found your channel. My compliments. I just subscribed.
Thank you! Great to have you on board
Thanks for the interesting tour. The simplicity of those machines makes them so much more interesting to watch compared to the new computerized, do-everything machines. Is your electric motor new or quite old? What vintage? If old, I would have liked to see it in this video.
Thanks! The motor is modern, so nothing really interesting to see there unfortunately! Does the job and supplies plenty of power though.
Just wonderful!
Thank you!
Cheers mate🇦🇺
Good
Thanks for the walk a round, Fred Dibner would be right at home there. It;s gait to see it being use. for its original purpose. Was it your intention to save these machines or do you prefer working with them.either way its a gait shop.
Thanks! Originally I wanted basic machines to aid my forge work and the older ones are ideal. Solid and easy to maintain and repair. Once I had a few I began to get into lineshafting and the history and it spiralled from there!
Now I can see an important need to save some of these machines before they are gone for good
@@iron_jonesy Thans for your reply you have a fantastic shop , when I first saw it I thought it was in the Stats as they have a few line shaft shops there some as heritage museums, so I was pleasantly surprised it was in the UK. You and it seem a perfect fit. Look forward to your next post. you deserve a bigger following , stick with it and hopefully it will grow . All the best .
is it difficult keeping all those belts in proper tension?
Sometimes they need shortening as they settle in after being installed, but after that they don't take a lot of fettling day to day. They do slacken off sometimes in hot weather, but it's normally very short term and I can use a belt dressing to maintain drive for that period. Some of my belts I haven't touched in years, others need attention more often!
Have you ever thought about getting a big hit and miss engine to drive your shop?
I have! Maybe one day..
What rpm is the main lineshaft running at?
About 190
@@iron_jonesy Could you tell us more about the belting? Do you buy it new? How do you lace it? Thanks.
I buy the belting new by the metre. Its a composite material made with canvas and rubber. Its laced with "hammer in" steel alligator lacing which you can still buy new in boxes. I go over the lacing process somewhere in my Milling machine video.
@@iron_jonesy Thanks. I'm storing all this information for the day I get my old belt driven lathe running :)
Thank goodness it is a private workshop, because health & safety would have repeated nightmares!
I own a similar horizontal milling machine to yours only a little beefier.
