Well, you know, I love those pictures. I have a Sellers hard cover catalog from 1876. They had a tremendous line of equipment. They were proud of all the awards they won at the centennial Exhibition.
I love the old machine adds. Especially the ones making giant parts like gears and such. I've been thinking about making some black and whites to hang in my shop. But the naked girl pictures are taking up all the room now. Looks like you are back on the hunt with Chloe and Charlie. Be careful and have fun.
Some of this stuff is so antique that it's hard to appreciate. The cutting-off and centering machine, for example. Back in the life-shaft days, when self-centering 3-jaw chucks were not common, drilling center holes was a more laborious task. It started with a center punch and could involve a pry bar, if you were too far off or the stock center-of-mass was not concentric with the tail end. So I can see a need for such a machine. Anyway, it would be nice to get a little voice-over commentary from a millwright.
hey Don, 1:15 I had one of these little Daltons...they only made them for about 10 years I think.... I had to get rid of when I moved......I never did have it running, I was sad to see it go, to a scrapper, errrr the motor was amazing how smooth it ran for being 100 years old......have fun on your trip......Paulie
Those little bench lathes have always been hard to find where I am. I have a great low pressure job to do here, winterizing a health resort, right in grizzly habitat, but so far I think there is just mountain lions close.
good morning Don, hope you are have a wonderful time up north.......remember, take it easy, not much oxygen at that altitude......best wishes from Florida, Paul
FUCK, MAN! I`ve seen those 4:20 K&T Overarm support - supporting arms that cross each other... I have ran across those two some months ago and left them to perish... I knew not better, but I would play a game of russian roulette that held the odds equal to me being right... I wanted to pick them up for cast iron stock - parallels and similar, as i knew they had to be old and normalized by time... You have got no idea what kind of a blood curdling howl just went out of me - as i saw that picture and remembered on spot those two pieces next to eachother... Vater unser im Himmel, geheiligt werde dein Name. Dein Reich komme. Dein Wille geschehe, wie im Himmel so auf Erden... I suppose that those were not meant to be saved by me... I can only pray that they were meant to be saved by other hands than my own - rather than face obliteration... Damn it Don, why have I seen that Kerney machine and those pieces... I did not need that today... Now i have regretti-spaghetti for dinner... Cheers! Best regards! Steuss P.s. Dear God, look at what we have lost... Just that ``dremel`` with up to 8 hours of continuous work is a great example... ``The heaviest complete universal grinding machine on the market`` because quality came before any other considerations, there was no finite element analysis to calculate exactly how weak to make the machine to make it passable as a functional mechanism - it was made to outlive mankind if taken proper care of... Ahhh, Don, i envy you your years, yet i hope that my low count may bring before my eyes a return to sanity, to Glory and Majesty...
The older machines came well equipped, the pieces scatter in time and become difficult to identify. I noticed an interesting balance in how heavy a machine should be built and that depends on what it is going to be used for. The universal cutter grinders were common from the 1860s to the 1980s, then inserts
Don Dyar here, due to me refusing to assume a position in the fake machinist pecking order, I am once again locked out of my current channel, Don Dyar Machining as I was my dee dee channel. I have this channel but not continuing any further on this shit, not worth the effort and this is goodbye, thanks for the support.
Nothing compares to the old. My monarch 1942 10ee is 10 times better than my myford and the myford is in good condition. And I have a old boley&leiner that's better better than the myford. Cheers 🍻
Those Myfords were always scarce and expensive where I am, and the Monarch 10ee common but not very popular because of the electronic or motor generator drive for the variable speed spindle, being that used ones were worn out. I got my first 10ee in a trade for a Southbend heavy 10 because the 10ee was missing the exciter motor and needed the drive to be put back together. What I needed with the Monarch 10ee was to be able to work pre-hard alloys and titanium for hydraulics and the racing, rv scene. The 10ee has the most punch in a small lathe, thanks
What a treat to see all these old machines! Amazing how many companies were making metal lathes back in the day.

Hi, thanks! I am not sure what I need for voice over recording, I may be able you just use this computer, I will check it out.

Yes, at 6400ft, takes a day
