Really enjoyed this one ! A great hour with an intelligent and articulate young man . Thanks for taking the time to interview him . Ill be subscribing to his channel.
Interesting interview. Brings back memories of my apprenticeship at Ferguson Industries Shipyard in Pictou. There were overhead line shafts in the machine shop that ran a lathe, the small planer and a shaper from a 15 hp motor that was the same vintage as the machines. There were also some machines that were converted with their own motor and a four speed Dominion Auto Drive. And of course modern machines for the time as well. The old machines were kept because they worked well and were suited to some of if the repeat jobs that you always get in a shipyard. They also had a forge like his mainly for heating babbitt for the bearings on the older ships that came in for refit. Used for annealing large copper gaskqets as well. Nice that Clay reestors these machines. A machine shop in the back yard is a very handy thing.
Very nice interview. Its very nice to see a younger person carrying on the history of machining. I have quite a bit of antique machine tools myself. So its nice to see this video. I am old enough and lucky enough to witness an actual line shaft factory here in Arkansas running. There is a term they use of "going online" Today, we usually think of it as the day a factory first starts up when starting a new business. But the factory I mentioned the term was used everytime the lineshafts were started after repair or start of a new shift. The factory here in Arkansas had a "lineman operator" the line shaft and machine room was about two city blocks long. When the lineman was ready to start the lineshaft he would holler real loud "going online" then someone else down the line would holler "online" and then another. It would be repeated all the way to the other end of the building and then be repeated all the way back thru the building to the "lineman operator" only then would he throw the lever to engage the lineshaft. I was lucky enough to get to experiance it. The factory was torn down the following year after I worked there. It was about 1974.

Steven, I emailed Randahl about the 10 millionth drive across America. RUclips took down my post on your comments section, and Randahl's. He should be able to pass the information onto you.
Thanks for having me on! It was a great chat about the ol' days and and ol' cars!
It was my pleasure. Thank you so much for the interview!

Imagine the maintenance crew needed for those factory line shafts!
Thanks for the visit with Clay.
Thanks for watching!
