Join me for regular workshop antics from machining to forge work to restoration , all while I grow and develop a circa 1900 belt driven shop.
Forging a Jib Crane for my Victorian Metal Lathe
What started as a basic need for a basic lift gear has turned into a full on historic project. After seeing the crane at The Welsh Slate Museum I had to have one of my own.
In this video I go though the steps of how these kind of cranes may have been made in the 19th century, while hopefully building one that will be useful in the workshop!
Thanks for watching.
If you haven't been to visit the Slate Museum, I highly recommend it.

After much deliberation I decided to remove the old bottom so in this video I get to grinding! All in preparation for a complete re-plating underneath. Also a surprise steel delivery. Cheers!
Narrowboat build 2 - Preparing for the new base plate and removing the water tank

In this video I get to work cutting out the old integral water tank in the bow, get a proper look at the condition inside and build a frame on which to construct the new base plate. Also, a quick peek at the engine I am planning on putting in.
Re Steeling a worn out axe head with Blacksmith, Alec Jones
มุมมอง 8045 ปีที่แล้ว
In the days when axes were made using two materials, Wrought iron for the body and high carbon steel for the blade, the steel edge would wear away to nothing after years of use and sharpening. This left the axe with a useless, wrought iron edge. When an axe got to this stage, it was common, not to buy a new one, but to have a blacksmith fire weld on a new steel 'bit', giving the axe a second li...

Very interesting video, looking forward to the next instalment.
Enjoying the vlogs You are very talented Are you the same iron Jonesy that started a narrow boat. A while back ? . If so what What happened to it ?
Thank you! Yes that's me. It's still ongoing, very slowly, in the background.
Young David Richards! 😊
Great video, really enjoyed the explanation of the process. Cheers
thats really cool !
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
@@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?
It’s going to be a very useful tool to have in your workshop.Thanks
totally enjoyable, ,just goes to show how much work is really involved!( i got lucky and picked up another SBW lathe!) looking forward to the next vid , cheers.👍👍
Glad you enjoyed it. Congrats on the extra lathe!
Fantastic video... A real insight to blacksmith skills...Never had the opportunity to use a forge etc. Amazed how the sparks "explode" during flame welding!!! Jim.
Thanks Jim, glad you enjoyed it!
Amazing!
Their's a lot of power in your hammer arm Alex. Beautiful elegant design, look forward to the next part of the project.
very nice indeed, is it a morse taper quill?
Yes, MT 1! it's very handy
Im not far from Llanberis and I havent seen the jib style before but it looks ideal for moving my swage block around, 269lb is a bit more than I can lift lol I love working on big projects like this, think I will go with a double V weld on the jib rather than a scarf but I like what you did very much Its much more fun when stuff stays hot for a good long while, One of the reasons I would like to have a go at making an old style wrought iron anvil with carbon table is to see how long it stays at welding heat ...little stuff can be such a tedious process when its in and out of the fire all the time ...two hits fire, two hits fire...too cold by the time you pick up the punch.... yuck lol Looking forward to seeing how you finish it off. it looks great so far
There's only one of this style and it's in the room between the forge and the machine shop. I like the ones in the forge too, made of t sections riveted together. Maybe that can be the next one, as I also need something for my swage block! The larger forgings are always more fun! Thanks
Takes me back 45 years,enjoyed my weeks at the forge,but not in the summertime,but a great video,thankyou.
Thanks!
Great work. The slate museum workshop is a place of wonders!
I spent many hours walking all over the quarries climbing and looking at the heavy equipment, its amazing how much you can learn from examining hand made kit....and the idea that stewed tea gave slate miners silicosis..the mine owners were..... hmmm whats the word....
It really is, definitely up there when it comes to industrial museums
Brilliant video! Jim.
Hello Alec. Just having a search on TH-cam... Enjoyed watching you and your fantastic workshop! Also your skill in making the nut. I got the shaper home all safe. Jim.
Many thanks Jim!
Very nice job. The shaper looks great.
Great to see old machines still working. Thanks for the video.
Lovely machine, love your work. Thank you for saving a bit of our heritage. 😁👍
Thanks for watching!
Brilliant,enjoyed the video, thanks.
On my 4th video now of yours , really liking the content a bit like a Great British version of Dave Richard’s old time machine shop 😁
Thanks!! David has been a big inspiration over the years
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!
That’s a cracking machine! I’d not seen 1 of that design before , fascinating too you recon it was Joseph Whitworths design I think Mr Whitworth should have a tv program done like Mr Brunel has , he is probably my favourite Victorian hero as I believe it was he who • decimalised the inch ( created the “thou” ) • 1st rifled gun barrels • obviously the 1st standardised thread form • probably other stuff too Iv got an18” butler super shaper in fairly good condition but so far have been unable to run it as it’s 7.5 hp 3ph and iv not got a 3ph supply Really enjoyed the video thanks 👍🏻🏴🇬🇧
Absolutely, there's a few Victorian engineers who should be a lot more famous than Brunel! Lovely machines those big Butlers Glad you enjoyed the video!
interesting li
your workshop is my dream workshop
Fred Dibnah would be right at home in there…..
Interesting video. Shapers are fun.
Thanks Rusti. Very fun!
Good
what an interesting little machine!!!
It’s a beautiful little shaper I’d love to see it making chips .thanks
what a incredible machine ! your luckkey to have it
That's a lovely shaper and a fine restoration.
Thank you!
I just found your channel tonight excellent videos and fantastic machines.
nice closeup video. audio great too. thks for your time.
Glad you enjoyed it!
I enjoyed the video thanks
I enjoyed the video thanks
you've gone to a lot of trouble for that shop set up!👍👍
Absolutely worth it 👍👍
I love seeing the old machines at work, and wonder what's been made on them. The bit about not having the tooling to cut the teeth on the clutch was great, because that was the real problem back in the day. To make a better machine, you needed to find a way to do the thing the machine couldn't do.
Me too, I wish they could talk! Thanks for stopping by.
You have an amazing Collection of old Machines and the best thing is , you are actually using them!
Thank you!
fantastic machine and refurb, I am one of the get it working and looking like its been used sort of people, I'll replace bushes with bearings if its possible but for the most part I actually quite like bushes, theyre a lot easier to make than bearings lol What is the maximum sort of capacity it will work, it looks like you put it through its paces so I'm wondering if you have ever run it chunky just to see
Absolutely agree with you! All about what was original for me when it comes to bushes v bearings, in all but a very few cases! I've rolled 1" square solid with it quite happily and also 1.5x0.5" flat the hard way! I've not pushed it any further than that but I expect it could manage a bit more. Thanks for watching!
@@iron_jonesy wow thats one heck of a piece of kit...definitely blacksmith ready lol
G'day Jonsey? i found this one of the best vids around at the moment.( subscribed) great to see the old lathe doing it's thing. like the large calipers,, they are still useful. i have a Smith Barker and Wilson from the teens ( looks like yours) still flat belt but elec motor, i noticed at the back of your lathe's saddle / cross feed you have a straight cut gear as i do, but have been told by so many that it is wrong because it runs on a worm on the rear shaft with a slight, maybe you call it a helix? is yours running on a straight cut gear or same as mine on that worm thing?? would love to know. i am about to set mine up for some threading which i have never done on that particular lathe , wish me luck. cheers.👍👍👍
Glad you enjoyed it! Interesting to hear of the SBW, another Halifax lathe! The gear on the back of the saddle is driven by a worm and is cut with a slight helix yeah. The pitch of the worm is quite fine so it's barely noticeable, but it's there! From the SBWs I've seen it should have pretty much the same arrangement as my lathe.
Thanks for the video
No problem!
Wow, there is not much to find about setting up a lineshaft, so love to watch this kind of videos. Unfortunately I don't have a big lathe to read krone my pulley. So I go with what I find.
Cheers mate. I did the same for years, eventually you'll find the perfect one!
Brilliant thanks
Great content, great commentary, great editing. Thanks for your efforts restoring work and videos
Glad you enjoyed it, thanks for stopping by!
Nice bit of kit. I have a besco arbor press. They made nice stuff
I've an asquith radial drill from the early 20s that's a lineshaft drive machine...
I enjoyed the video thanks for sharing it.
I like to watch your old machine working . I have an old Kearney & tracker mill I'm working on . I think it was about 1920 because it has a large pulley on the back . I think that pulley would have been for a lineshaft Keep up the great vidoes
Rare beast, great find and work!
