- Continuing the repair and refit of a 3rd order Fresnel lens drive clock for the owner of Graves Light in Boston Harbor. This movement was seriously compormised and not fit to run when I got it.
Fastinating mechanism. I do enjoy your engineering emthusiasm and knowledge. All the best.
An orphan clock, sounds so cute. A very interesting video Mr Karnes, as always, a pleasure to watch.
That lathe is fascinating in itself
The lathe's tool wall alone is something to drool over..
Hell yeah I'd love to see more about that lathe, looks like a beaut
Would love a video about the lathe, such a beautiful machine. Got to get one of my own one day
I use mine maybe once every couple of months. It takes up a huge amount of space in my shop and I'd certainly be better off with it out of my way.
But I will NEVER get rid of it. 👍
I really enjoyed this little series Alex.
I love seeing these mechanical marvels of the industrial past that I wasn't born in time to see.
Sadly where I live in Canada we didn't have much industry during that era and have much less of it that has survived. I would love to get my hands on, take apart, and repair this sort of thing. At the moment I'm scratching that itch by bringing back to life a Myford lathe that was being sold for parts.
I would love it if you shared more of your adventures!
The high polish on the brass comes together with all the casting defects and porosity in a really beautiful way.
Thanks for making this video, and I'm very much looking forward to the video about the lathe.
Always loved old machinery, built to last, a joy to work on and in relative terms easy to fix. Seems that we've done nothing but lose the ability to design it's ilk in the past 50 years and made everything worse for it
I am really looking forward to seeing your new Video Presentation on the Lathe.
Nice work. Definitely need to see it running too!
Ove been obsessed with your work and how your brain works since you slaved away for Keith Appleton.
Wonderful engineering
Very enjoyable watching the repair process. Thanks for the effort of making the video.
Much love, amazing!!!
Amazing work.
beautiful gears
loverly engineering. What was it like for the threads in the screws? all standard UNF? or some weird sizes? like Whitworth or heaven forbid metric? Thanks for the video. Mr Karnes
Really cool stuff.
Super cool!
Nice Bud! ✌👍
Very interesting guy.
Very interesting friction governor design, never seen that style before.
this in differing forms was the usual, sadly the air drag regulators were rarer despite being technologically superior
Nor I, I don't think it to be as reliable as an air governor due to possible oil contamination of the friction materiel from over enthusiastic oil maintenance etc. I agree the butterfly air governors look more impressive. Fred Dibnah would have enjoyed a beer with Mr Karnes. You may find ' The Lancashire Textile Project " and interesting read. Best
❤❤❤❤
I enjoy your enthusiasm and love for the mechanical beauty of your machines! Thank you for the great vids!!
You are the oldest young person ever. You know your shit man.
Are you doing videos on your repairs like Keith Appleton now? :)
When missing parts such as screws, how often do you have to make them yourself?
That’s one of the larger metal lantern pinions I’ve seen
You need thunder bolts for all of those lightening holes...😮
Friend of Eli whitney, friend of yours.. that kinda blows my mind. Beats my “friend of Fred Dibnah”…..
Brake material might have been leather.
