For those of us who are listening while doing other light work, mor explanation of wat you are doing would be well received. Such as: drilling the shaft, boring out the shaft, streatening the shaft, etc.
Why didn’t you add weld to the shaft and turn it down to fit the part that didn’t come with the machine. See a channel called on fire welding, he fixes modern big boys toys.😁 love the channel, glad I found you, thanks 👍
Why didn’t you bore the pulley out a bit to make the bush more easily? You’ve done that before. I do that as well. I don’t like having to deal with very thin but fairly large parts, even in my more modern machines. But, I have to say, you did a great job with that. It’s a beautiful little machine. I did a quick calculation. If you’re taking say, 0.005” with each stroke, and a 2” stroke, and you need to go 5 inches, that would be 200 strokes per inch of length, for 1,000 strokes. If it took around 2 seconds for a full cycle, which is in the ball lark for these things, that would be 2,000 seconds, which is about 33 minutes - the time it would take to cut one layer. I don’t know how deeply this machine can cut, but I imagine it can’t be much more than that, particularly with the high carbon steel tools they used back then. My mill can do that in 2 minutes. So when people don’t u detest and why these things lost their dominance, that’s why.
I did think about boring the cone out a little. You're right, it would have made life easier with the bush. I think I decided against it because cones are quite awkward things to fixture, and I couldn't justify taking the extra time with an extra operation. Great calculation. While I'm sure this machine is more capable than I show here, it shows perfectly why shapers are redundant in a commercial setting, especially shapers this size. These days, they are a fun curiosity that occasionally prove invaluable in a job shop.
@@iron_jonesy the shop sounds exceptionally quiet with the shafts and machines running, it appears to give a calm atmosphere. you speak well and articulate your thoughts clearly it's a pleasure to hear you speak, but your accent i cannot place, perhaps the West Country?

I love the hammer at 11:12. Paused, read, tried Carson and Garson, finally found “Barson hammer drift.” Nice.
I don’t know what it is but I’m fascinated with old machinery. 👍
Your shop is amazingly quiet while operating, beautiful restoration.
Thank you!

Love your workshop,Machines, and your work. Thanks
That's a lovely shaper and a fine restoration.
Thank you!
what a incredible machine ! your luckkey to have it
Nice fit
It’s a beautiful little shaper I’d love to see it making chips .thanks
I agree!
1st time watcher , what an awesome workshop, thanks for sharing 👍🇨🇦
Interesting video. Shapers are fun.
Thanks Rusti. Very fun!

I considered it. I've done the process a few times but only on larger shafts, making a bush was just simpler, for me.
I'll check him out! Cheers!
Lovely machine, love your work. Thank you for saving a bit of our heritage. 😁👍
Thanks for watching!
Very nice job. The shaper looks great.
what an interesting little machine!!!
Cracking job buddy, thanks for sharing 👍
Thanks!
your workshop is my dream workshop
Fred Dibnah would be right at home in there…..
Brilliant,enjoyed the video, thanks.
Great job , shaft straightening came out really nicely too.
I thought maybe you’d be “heat straightening” it “Keith Fenner” style
Thanks! I've tried that method a couple of times, with limited success. Keith is extremely skilled!
Good

Do you not have any correctly sized spanners or is one adjustable wrench all you have?
Heat Straightening.
interesting li
Love it! What powers your shop?
Just an electric motor at the moment!
what is the power source for the line shafts?, new sub just found you
Thanks for stopping by! I have a large electric motor mounted in the ceiling which is currently providing power

My 1940s or 1950s Willson lathe uses the same gib adjustments... not quite as nice as the taper gibs I've seen on similar American machines.
