- Machining metal in a one car garage using a restored Levin Lathe, Monarch 10ee lathe, Axelson 14X30 engine lathe, Brown & Sharpe milling machine, Moore #2 jig borer with a Cincinati No 2 Tool & Cutter Grinder for factory new sharp cutters of all types in both carbide and high speed steel.
Come along for a vision of how machine work was once done creating cutters in house and close tolerance work on the toolroom lathe and jig borer.
I am not worthy, my Father. In my 45 years of T&D I have never seen more beautiful Machines. I will sub
Man you have lots of really cool machines
Hi thanks, these old machines are the best buy out there
@@DonDyarprecision yes I totally agree 👍🏻
You have some very fine equipment. I saw a Moore Jig bore machine for $2500. I would have jumped but no space.
I thought my shop was small. I know you do good work in that shop.
Thanks for sharing.
Thanks 👍
COOL!!!
Hi, thanks!
Più si ama la meccanica e più si apprezzano queste tue meravigliose macchine utensili, anche io sono pensionato e passo le migliori ore della giornata nel mio modesto laboratorio
complimenti!!!👍👋👋 Un saluto da Roma
Hello from Wall Walla, thanks for tuning in!
Don could you direct me to your repair channel?
Hi, my other channel is @deedeeindustrialsuperprecision
Are you Emo Philips dad?
I do not know that name
Don, it's good to see someone taking the older machines serious. Love the shop and your machinery. The knowledge is incredible
Thanks 👍
That's an impressive line up of quality machines you have there Don - thanks for giving us a look.
Thanks for watching
A retirement shop is the best kind of shop. Ask me how I know. lol Great tour of your shop. thanks.
The little shop is almost a job, thanks
Thanks for the informative video. Check out “ Our Museum of Industrial Heritage “ located in Greenfield,Massachusetts. This museum is about the earliest machinist tools that were made in that area of Massachusetts like Starrett, Millers Fall, Greenfield Tap and Die and others.
Hi, thanks!
WOW, Wonderful shop with very unique machines for a home shop!
Hi thanks, most of the equipment is from Hanford Plutonium Production
What a load of old rubbish you have there LOL !. Only joking , absolutely beautiful machines you have and that Axelson lathe, superb. You Americans made some excellent stuff over the years. Kind regards from across the pond.
Thanks 👍
Walla walla Washington? I live in Moses lake, awesome little shop you have there
Hi, thanks for tuning in!
I used to run a causing lathe, and drill. Had used a monarch 10ee. A radial drill. A ried grinder, a Blanchard grinder and such. Been around a bit too, but not nearly up to your level
Hi, thanks for tuning in!
Really beautiful shop.Quite impressive!
Thanks, it seems to be a mini museum that is getting more functional
If i won the lottery that shop would do nicely. Happy New Year.
All the machines are the lowest cost these days, I just cleaned them up and started using them, thanks
@@DonDyarprecision you have one of the nicest little metal gardens I have seen. 😍
His shop looks claustrophobic to me....
I looked at your channel, looks empty to me.
Beautiful shop !
Thanks!
An absolutely fantastic combination of machines in a small shop. Not an inch of wasted space. I reckon this is the best, most capable, small shop I've ever seen. Very much worth a sub.
Thanks for tuning in!
@DonDyarprecision I have a typical hobbiest's spare room machine shop: SB and Atlas lathes, Burke #4 mill, Delta drill press, Quarn-style T&C grinder, import band saw, Baldor Carbide Grinder & some other stuff. I'm looking for a decent small vertical mill to complete the shop. I can do some decent smallish work, but I love, love your setup of really HD machines in about the same space. Happy New Year!
Wow amazing machines.
Hi, thanks for tuning in!
got some real treasure in there thats for sure
Hi, thanks!
I marvel at folks with Don’s level of intelligence and expertise. I’m always glad to see those old quality machines being restored and cared for. Thank you Don
Thanks, I managed to assemble these machines at very low cost compared to the more modern machines, slower to use but more versatile
Hey Don what size american rotary phase converter do you run, and do you have a panel box between it and all your machines? Love the shop
The converter is the ADX15. I have magnetic starters on the machines but when the converter is off there is still two hot legs going to the machines. I have a cutoff switch before the converter and only have it powered when I am in there. I had to locate the 15hp idler motor outside because it is loud and vibrates. American Rotary sized this for my 5hp max machines and it works very well even better than some utility 3phase in local rural areas. I can say this unit works considerably better than home spun units or 30yr old commercial units of the same size I have used.in the past. And always had a cutoff switch before the converter to totally cut power anyway. Some don't like the special Baldor idler motor noise, I built a doghouse for it just outside the wall and its all good.
Thank for the reply don I just got a adx 15 myself. I might have to put the idler outside also good idea. I have 3 machines in a row and was going to use outlets and plugs in one corcuit instead of running a 3 phase panel box and individually hard wiring each machine with separate wiring. Hopefully this works for me.
I am running everything like you describe and it works fine, just have a cutoff for the converter to completely cut power to the machines. The idler is in a doghouse outside, too loud for videos, also it was noted that bearings can be dry in the idler and I did have to grease them, there are fittings for that. This converter works much better than an older phase matic rotary that I have used, these things have come a long way from the dark ages, I am surprised on the much improved machine performance and even switch operation, I think you will like this.@@LittleJuniataMC
Nice shop!!
Thanks!
Great shop and good information!
Thanks 👍 I watch your channel!
Looking Marvelous Don.....we love you down in Florida......have a wonderful coming year, Paul
Wow! been cold and foggy here, thanks Paul
Oh my god! I want a few of those items so bad. And I often laugh at how stout my Lodge and Shipley avs1408 with 36 inches between centers is. That Axelson makes it look undernourished.
The AVS is more like the Monarch 10ee, the heavy pattern American 14X30 weighs 10000lbs!
Not a machinist but have watched and enjoyed several other shop tours. Very impressive shop and machines. Thanks for the tour and explanation of your equipment. I’m sure Harley Davidson misses your knowledge and expertise!
Thanks for tuning in!
Absolutely incredible shop. Now in keeping with the period you need to find some vintage Battleship steam valves to hang on the wall "awaiting repair"
Looking to restore antiques for sure, thanks!
Obviously completely insane…. IN A GOOD WAY! I’m at home. Thank you!
Hi, thanks for tuning in!
I think I said this before, but worth saying again. 10 Pounds of stuff in a 5 pound sack, and amazingly enough still has room to move! Happy New Year Don
It will work if I stop getting machines!
That was a great, informative tour Don - it has made the first day of 2024 a real inspiration and example for me and my little corner shop. My best wishes to you for the coming year!
Wonderful!
That is a dream workshop of every man!
Hi, thanks for tuning in!
Great gear, thanks for tour. BTW - nice cosmetic upgrade on lathe.
Thanks for that!
Beautiful machines and very well kept!
Many thanks!
Do you really need to keep that thing in the tailstock? Having drill bits and other sharp things hanging out in the open like that are just a bad accident waiting to happen. A little too much stuff just laying around. I know it's fun to collect but a person tends to start drowning in all that tooling. Really, a jig bore? You work to tenths that much?
Pretty cool, I'm jealous. 😅
I am a moving concern here, there is constant work going on, you play all the pocket pool you want Mildew, I have many projects to do and little time for the helpless likes of you.
Hey Mildew, your comment reads like it was composed by a man with a paper ash hole, give this gentleman some credit, he knows what he's talking about, and I'm sure he can also walk the walk, can you?
Fantastic.
Thank you! Cheers!
Thanks for the tour! I follow your other channel.
Awesome! Thank you!
thank you Don, great shop!!!! ❤
Hi, thanks for tuning in
Jeeze that Axelson is really nice buddy
It was the cheapest one on ebay a couple of years ago!
One hell of a deal I am sure, thing is a beast
Nice shop👍👍
Thanks 👍
Happy New Year
Same to you, thanks for tuning in
