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! instagram - iron_jonsey
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.👍👍
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 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 .
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.
