My family has run a Machine shop in Kentucky for 76 years now. Before that my great grandfather ran machines like these for someone else. Your videos are the first place that i have seen these thing running!! I'm smiling ear to ear finally seeing what things were like when my great grandfather started making chips in Germany. Your videos have a special place in my heart!
My husband & I enjoyed every single one of your videos!! We're so impressed with your knowledge!! I guess being around all of that at the young age of 8 years old, it only makes sense that it appears that you could do all of that with your eyes closed!! You are to be commended for sharing & explaining such precious details that can only help future generations to carry on the knowledge Dave! We've subscribed to your channel, & are looking forward to any others you may do in the future. Thanks for what you do Dave!! "Keep On Steaming"!!! The Stantons; Syracuse, NY : )
I like the the way you use HSS tooling and lantern tool post. Ever body and there dog has made the jump to carbide tool. Love the videos keep them rolling Dave thanks
Love to see a hide-away shop tour. What your tool selection looks like, what you'd update if the opportunity presented it's self, what you'd add, what you don't need. Looks like you have an effective but small home workshop there to talk about. The welding capability there surprised me.
@@davidrichards5594 Dave your channel and Brian Blocks channel I can honestly say i have watched every one of your and his videos in order they have been produced. Brian started with an old falling down barn and called the Channel Brian Blocs Old Barn/Shop. I am sure you have seen his channel . I have a few other favorites like Yuchol Kim's "Woods Creek Work Shop" and some others. Of course I am retired and crippled so in the winter time You Tube is what I do all day long. LOL
I liked the lathe mill swap. Just recently I had to make a new gear shaft that was broken in my lathe, so turned my mill into a lathe to do the job. Worked briliant.
Lol. Ever notice if the boss makes an excuse,, it is called a reason... But if we give a reason, it is called an excuse? Life is lived by the golden rule,, he who has the gold,, makes the rules.... Thanks for sharing your videos. And keep up the good work.
@@ShevillMathers Interesting machines, but it's crazy steampunk and you will not be able to build Giza pyramids with them and they was build over 7000 BC, very funny, yes, so all this and our "modern" technology is nothing, if we can't recreate them.
Dear MR Richards thank you again for your Videos I learned how to use a lathe from my father and you have the same one, brings back so many great memories . Thank you
Good to see You looking well after anther cold winter for Us here in Norfolk UK.Lucky old You able to escape down to Florida .I'm still hibernating for a few more weeks here so Your Channel should help the time pass .Thanks David .
Bonjour David, I would have been very happy to meet you, unortunately, you are a little bit too far from Paris, France. Never mind, I go on watching your instructive videos with a great pleasure. Amicalement, Raphaël
good to see you again. I feel for you working in small shop with out all your tools at home. you know how to work around it well. enjoy the warm sunshine. have great time with friends at steam flywheelers. thanks for the show.
I once had to re-bore the cylinder of an 1885 Table Engine, that was carefully set up on the compound slide as well. You can therefore also turn a Lathe into a horizontal boring machine, as well as a Mill. The end result is still a working (when I can) engine with a good bore. Thanks for the update Dave, good to see you about.
My first lathe was a Craftsman and it had a milling attachment too. Used it for a lot of stuff. Great and creative job on the rebuild. I am in an antique tractor club here (middle Ga.). Some of my club members are going to the flywheelers event this year. I won't be able to make it. I met Adam Booth and Keith Rucker at one of Keiths events. Wish I could meet you as well. Have a good time. It is always a fun event.
Hi Dave, glad to see you back on line. Never fails how meany tools you bring to a show for a project work day, I need this and its back in the shop at home. I was very interested in your milling attachment operation for the lathe, and the setup for cutting the morse taper. Yes, I can use that that . Nice job, thanks Dave.
man that trick with the taper was a keeper. i lean something every video. if you are ever board look up fulton 23 on garage journal and you can see a 100 year old vise i am restoring.
Very cool. An Atlas 10D. I also have a 10D (babbitt bearings) I rebuilt a few years ago. 54" bed. Completely stripped it (3 coats of paint), bought some parts off eBay. I also put a later model cross slide (taper vs slots) carriage and obtained/rebuilt a later model tapered roller bearing headstock. As best I can research the 10D was only made for a couple of years around 1937.
Good to see you enjoying the warm weather, I was out blowing snow this afternoon. I wish I could make it to the Flywheelers show, but just can't afford it, so I'll have to wait to see you at the Pageant of Steam this summer. Hopefully I can get to NY early enough to stop by the Steam Shop to see the plainer in action maybe.
As much as I like seeing you work on the big stuff, seeing what you can do with equipment that us weekend warriors are more likely actually going to have causes me to pay much closer attention to what you are doing and how. This is where your exceptional videography and editing skills really help a great deal. Especially for us visually impaired old geezers. Thanks much Dave.
If you don't have an acetylene torch to soot up a shaft for Babbitt pouring, try using a spray on dry film lubricant. I've used both the molybdenum disulfide and graphite types equally well. These don't off gas like a grease or oily lubricant will when hit with hot Babbitt metal.
Dave, checkout Old Salvage Work shop. This man just purchased old equipment from a machine tool shop. Most of the lathes, drill presses, and other equipment was belt driven. But some was converted to electric. I’m sure you would enjoy.
Going to meet up with you and the other youtube creators is a good reason to go to Florida. But to do it at a Flywheelers flea market is even better..........Hey honey, wanna go to Florida!...........maybe next year Dave
It could have, but It would have to be tapped very straight. the shaft tube could have been single point threaded on a lathe with taper attachment...Dave
I’m in love with your shop and videos. Keep it up. 👍 I’m currently building an overhead line shaft for a clockmakers machine bench and am wondering what oil you’d suggest using for 3/4” shafts running in bronze bearings? Thank you
@@davidrichards5594 Thanks for the reply Dave. All is well, been fortunate enough to keep working, as my job is essential. I fix Aircraft Test Sets for the US Navy and Marine Corps, so they asked me to keep coming to work. I have to wear a mask and goggles and stay 6 ft from coworkers but that's a small price to pay to keep working and make sure our kids have the equipment they need to keep flying our military aircraft. Heck I don't even hardly know I have the mask on anymore i'm so used to it. Anyways, I just thought I would ask since I'm sure folks who follow were probably thinking the same thing. Stay safe and look fwd to seeing that planner making chips. Love the channel, you bring so much joy to all who follow you, especially those who can't get out. Best Wishes & Blessings.
Is this the most recent episode? I want to make absolutely sure that I do not miss any of you great shows, I am subscribed & have been from the early days of your show, not sure if I have seen your very first shows. I cannot remember if being a subscriber means that I am automatically notified of your episodes or not. Again, THANK YOU for your great shows.
Steve: Thanks for the interest in this channel. If you go here ru-vid.com/show-UCBdj-vOveiEFWe3vnGoJUagfeatured and click the "videos" or "Play list" all 63 videos should be there in order. Thanks....Dave
well i love your videos dave but thanks to doall fabs videos on how wix filters are better making me try one and wipe out oil pump on my engine id rather not go anywhere near him.
I know it's not cool with you, but an Aloris tool post and tool block could be used to mill something in a pinch. The other day I ran out of bridgeports and had to break down a setup. If I only knew then what I know now.
OK so basically the spinning of the weights push down on the shaft and that restricts the flow of steam and thus slows the engine down? Anyway love watching your show it sort of an elegant solution to a complicated problem. Thanks again Dave.
It was in the pile with the rusting, disassembled Morris engine in a NY woods for a lot of years. Too far gone to be much more than a wall hanging. It would have been a nice steam gauge 40 years ago....Dave
My wife said she wanted to go to a Florida beach and when I found out that the Florida Flywheelers show was the same time I said, "Lets GO". See you there.
Nice to watch a true craftsman . while in Florida feel free to contact me if you need to borrow any machine tools I may have . I'm in port Charlotte. I'll see you at the flywheelers on the 19th. chuck Gause
