Well done Paul, so nice to see someone reusing old stuff instead of falling into the trap of our throw away society. We need more people in the world like you. Well done.
I really love watching Fab Rats and Matt's Off Road Recovery and I've noticed that Matt tends to weld without gloves but Paul always seems to wear his but was worrying the viewers by not wearing safety glasses and recently Paul has graciously started wearing the glasses. So now, maybe if Paul could convince Matt to wear safety glasses and his protective wear when welding we (I know there were others besides me lol) can all relax that the guy's are protecting their eyes, hands and everything else so they both can continue to make awesome stuff and do great work that so many viewers thoroughly enjoy watching! Could be a shot in the dark lol, hoping that might happen but it doesn't hurt to ask. I can honestly say that those two channels are my favorite things to watch on TH-cam now and I look forward to enjoying more new videos for a long time to come. Always interesting, usually funny and definitely anticipated by many!
Matt always seems to like burning himself. I've watched it time and time again commenting about it! Well next video I watch from the banana rebuild they said what I last commented "will Matt grab it or touch it?" 😂😂😂😂
Hey great to se that lathe back to life - been a machinist for 47 years - just a tip - the compound slide should be at 90 deg to the cross slide - or parallel with the bed - that way you can use it to turn short runs without the saddle feed - can set it up true with a square and a dial gauge .. Happy days!
Watching this makes me miss metals class in high school, also just amazing to watch you make things work your own way instead of just another new part.
Operator safety. Boy, does that open a discussion. If you look at what I have done from farm to oil & gas production you would cringe, and yet I have all my fingers and toes. Safety is in the mind of the beholder, you cannot every make even the simplest operation 'idiot proof'. Safety is your responsibility.
Sir, I really do enjoy the videos you guys make. I really love the shop you have. It's just the right size and it looks like you have accumulated quite a stockpile of tools and machinery...etc. Further, you got a great deal on the lathe itself. I have its little brother. It's nowhere near as long but has the one thing in common and that is its exposed gears...etc. I had to pay 600 dollars for mine but I did not get hurt either. So happy turning to you. In my shop, I have a vertical milling machine, the lathe, a Brown and Sharpe surface grinder, a heavy-duty bandsaw for meatal a couple of belt, disk, and wheel grinders. Its a pretty nice shop. Plus, I have welders...etc. I would like to say is please don't beat on things in the three-jaw chuck with the hammer. The hammer can be used at first to make the part centered in the three-jaw sometimes if its a couple of k off. But you have been turning and hit the part with a hammer, it will not come back to center probably.
I saw a wood lathe with a 4cyl petrol engine and 4 speed gearbox from a Morris Minor. The bed could take a 6 metre log with a diameter of 600mm or 2 feet. The guy would step on the clutch and change up when it was time for the next cut. As an apprentice I was rather impressed.
Hi Paul and all. My husband is a retired mold maker (plastic and die cast). He loves watching you work with that old machinery. I just love you guys and your great interactions. God bless you all.
PAUL not only are you having joy but it will save you outside work also doing things as you wish ---- JUST G R E A T ..... Warm regards from F. Guyana !
Love, love, love these videos! I see an old lathe and wouldn’t know what to use it for except to hold on to during a tornado to keep from being blown away.
Paul, I must give a big thanks to Matt for inducing me to you and your family. You all do a nice job of content and video quality. You and I have a bit in common. God's speed, Boe
That lathe is very cool. People are usually thinking how technology today is so grand and wonderful, but don't realize where todays technology started, how far it has come, and what was overcome to get this far...it didn't happen yesterday. Great video Paul!!
Top three reasons why i freakin' luv the wood truck. - it's a squarebody - manually shifted - nothing beats the sound of a carb being cracked wide open
These days, when someone says; “Turn of the century”, you have to ask; “Which century?” A little way oil helps moving the tail stock. Spindle oil for the spindle. Nothing heavier than #10. Most everything else uses #20, except for the ways. Water on a lathe bed-a big no. Cover it!
If you cut off a piece of broom handle, you can use it to catch cutoffs by sticking it in the end with your right hand while advancing the cut with your left.
I'm working on getting caught up on your videos. I can't believe how much your like my late younger brother. I love your show and Matt's. I hope one day I can meet you all. I live in Enumclaw,Washington.
Put something on the ways when you grind, weld, pour water or do anything to the work above the ways. The lathe will give you better results longer. Just sayin.
I do alot of firewood hauling for my community... you know us navajos part of life and I love your chevy wood hauler we have a wood hauler... "It will be fine"
Hey Paul when you get an old engine like the one in your tow truck that's got some bearing debris down in there just throw a couple magnets on the oil pan that'll fix it
Neat, looks like you took a mini-lathe tool holder and put on. Have also and was thinking will be doing the same. Wondering about how much will be getting into lappin the ways too. Thanks for sharing.
Saftey glasses are a must, would not be fun with a eye missing. My friends worker was using a air tool and he was tired and slapped standard socket on it and It took his tight eye out, they could repair it. The same thing almost happened to me, I was taking a old coal burning furnace out of the basement and part was cast Iron and the other was steel, the cast was really brittle and i just gave it a light tap with a regular and it cracked, i had no saftey glasses so i put on my gas mask and it had additional saftey lens covers and the first strike with the sledge a big chunk, quarter size hit the right lens and made it to the second lens ,but the first lens saved it from getting to my eyes. Protect your eyes.
That lathe is pretty close to one I ran when started at colonial Tool in 1980 we had different line belt conversion. I like the manual transmission for RPM change. Keep ways wiped with oiled a long rack mounted on back side and handle with spur gear mounted on tail stock make running tail stock back and forth much nicer.
What would be really cool for the lathe. Replace that gearbox with a hydro-stat from a lawn tractor. Change speed on the go. + reverse for cutting threads. I do like the chain drive so much better than the old flat belt. And i do like your tool holder up date.
The first thing Keith Rucker or any machinist will tell is NEVER EVER leave the chuck key in the chuck. Been there done that - not good!! I envy your shop, look like now everything you need.
Safety glasses seem to be a pain until you have had rust or debris get in your eye or have been hit in the eye by a metal chip! Amazing how wearing even a cheap pair can prevent a lifetime of blindness! I work in the electrical industry and have been spattered by molten metal right across my glasses. Make it a habit. You’ll never regret it

Well done Paul, so nice to see someone reusing old stuff instead of falling into the trap of our throw away society. We need more people in the world like you. Well done.
Something very pleasant watching a 100 plus years old machine still doing what it was made to do. Very proud of you.

Thanks for the kind words! We’ll see what we can do with Matt safety wise.😉
Fab Rats drill a small hole put 2oz of trans fluid in it weld hole up will help with balance of the driveshaft old dirt track trick works great
Matt always seems to like burning himself. I've watched it time and time again commenting about it! Well next video I watch from the banana rebuild they said what I last commented "will Matt grab it or touch it?" 😂😂😂😂
Hey let's start talking again about Lizzie's hair..........
Keith Rucker is the man.

I figured by now you have plenty of critics...so I’ll just be a fan! Thanks for sharing your talents.
Thanks for being a fan and Thanks for watching!
It’s great your bringing the lathe back to its glory days
Watching this makes me miss metals class in high school, also just amazing to watch you make things work your own way instead of just another new part.
My grandpa had an old lathe like that. My brother in law now has it, it has made a lot of drive shafts. I made a few myself. You did it right.
As AvE would say, this machine predates safety. Awesome.
Operator safety. Boy, does that open a discussion. If you look at what I have done from farm to oil & gas production you would cringe, and yet I have all my fingers and toes. Safety is in the mind of the beholder, you cannot every make even the simplest operation 'idiot proof'. Safety is your responsibility.
It probably predates written language.
Paul, you must have been so pleased to do your first driveline of the lathe.
That guy you bought it from was a class act, not very many people like that left! Congrats Fab 🐀!
For an old wood truck it sounds pretty pissed off. I like it 👌
"I'm a driveline straightenin' machine."
☝ best part. 😂😂😂😂
I LOVE Michelle's sense of humor! She's a beaut Clark :-))

Thanks for the kind words!! You’re awesome!!
We are closer to finding out how much wood a wood truck can truck, if a wood truck could truck wood!
Well...a wood truck would truck as much wood as a wood truck could truck if that wood truck would have a wood truck driveline!
@@vancelowe1018 damn you beat me to it.
You win the internet today! LMAO
Good one. 😆😆😆
Nice to see the lathe in use!!!!
Get your self a fiberglass blanket to protect your ways! Other wise i love that old lathe, so glad you saved it!!!!!!!
Let me sale you one. Monarch around 1912, total restore. 1,200 bucks.
PAUL not only are you having joy but it will save you outside work also doing things as you wish ---- JUST G R E A T ..... Warm regards from F. Guyana !
Another great shop class, to go along with the shop class on the lathe.
Never known a man love his lathe like Paul 👍
Good video love watching cool old trucks getting freshened up
Love, love, love these videos! I see an old lathe and wouldn’t know what to use it for except to hold on to during a tornado to keep from being blown away.
Awesome you were talking with Keith Rucker, he really knows his vintage machinery...maybe he should make a website cataloging it all...
He does, vintage machinery. Org.
How cool having your own lathe to make drive shafts. You cut the angle you want for your weld fill.
That is so awesome, especially with it being from the 1800s id rather have that than a newer one
Paul,
I must give a big thanks to Matt for inducing me to you and your family. You all do a nice job of content and video quality. You and I have a bit in common. God's speed, Boe
That lathe is very cool. People are usually thinking how technology today is so grand and wonderful, but don't realize where todays technology started, how far it has come, and what was overcome to get this far...it didn't happen yesterday. Great video Paul!!
Great point!
That's pretty cool! I've never seen a metal lathe in action. Glad you got some glasses.
Good job Paul!!!!! The old wood truck has some serious up dates. Your skills are fantastic.☺️☺️☺️👍👍👍👍
Top three reasons why i freakin' luv the wood truck.
- it's a squarebody
- manually shifted
- nothing beats the sound of a carb being cracked wide open
Sounds pretty damn nice, for just an old wood truck. Good work, Paul. You make it look easy and sound even easier ;)
It was interesting to see how a drive shaft is shortened. Keep up the good work.
Late night surprise upload - thanks, Paul!
These days, when someone says; “Turn of the century”, you have to ask; “Which century?”
A little way oil helps moving the tail stock. Spindle oil for the spindle. Nothing heavier than #10. Most everything else uses #20, except for the ways. Water on a lathe bed-a big no. Cover it!
Glad you got that old lathe working, I even saw the safety glasses on once !!
That thing sounds sick with them true duals!! love them old Square bodies too!!
The new/old lathe is a nice addition to the shop. Very cool folks. Machine and weld/fab on........😊👍
Thanks 👍
Thank you for getting safety glasses. You are the frickin' man.
Good Job! Like the wood truck's gun rack, you just don't see that much these days around here in the PNW.
Good sounding wood truck!
Good job Paul! Nice sounding ol truck!
I learn so much from this channel. Found it through Matt's.
Wood truck over here looking nicer than my daily
If you cut off a piece of broom handle, you can use it to catch cutoffs by sticking it in the end with your right hand while advancing the cut with your left.

Nice job and sounds great.All that’s left is filling it up....
Cannot beat them old chevy trks!!! Great clip!
You got that right!
THANK ALL THAT'S HOLY! A man that knows not to clamp the ground cable to the lathe. My faith in humanity is restored!
A tip to line up the drive shaft ends......I use two levels on a flat serfice that way the casting or burred ends won't be a problem, Jim las vegas nv
That lathe looks like the one I worked with back in 1959 in Viking Minn.
Gotta love the old lathe. Nice work!
Thanks 👍
Love this old thing, just amazing.
Poured babit bearings.
Great job on the old wood truck
Put something on the ways when you grind, weld, pour water or do anything to the work above the ways. The lathe will give you better results longer. Just sayin.
Haven't seen a gun rack like that in awhile. They used to be standard hardware down here in southern Az
Paul you’re a dame good fabber keep it up I enjoy watching the custom work 👍👍👍
Thank you so much 😀
I do alot of firewood hauling for my community... you know us navajos part of life and I love your chevy wood hauler we have a wood hauler... "It will be fine"
Eye-crometer, hahaha - love it!
Nice work!
Your old wood truck is super cool. I have one similar but mine is an 87.
Hey Paul when you get an old engine like the one in your tow truck that's got some bearing debris down in there just throw a couple magnets on the oil pan that'll fix it
You are having way to much fun, I am to old and stove up to do any of that any more but I used to do a little fabricating back in the day. Lol
Nice Job!
Best Fab Channel on yt!
The old machinery was built to Last and to be rebuilt i supose...that truck looks cool..
You're a helluva machinist Paul, nice work.
Thanks 👍
My father is a retired Machinist. Good content.
Wow lol I haven't seen a gun rack in a truck in 20 years. Nice 👌
Sounds great, love the cam lope.
My brother in law said the same thing he had no sense of smell. The kid was baking pot brownies! 🙃
Dang that's good sounding old truck
Neat, looks like you took a mini-lathe tool holder and put on. Have also and was thinking will be doing the same. Wondering about how much will be getting into lappin the ways too. Thanks for sharing.
Nice work
There was another lathe on TH-cam that was built in 1904. It looked like a twin of this one. ☝🏼
Saftey glasses are a must, would not be fun with a eye missing.

that's' funny - used my handy dandy,
“I-Corometer”(or called eye balling😁)
to make sure it’s square and level
close enough 😁
That lathe is pretty close to one I ran when started at colonial Tool in 1980 we had different line belt conversion. I like the manual transmission for RPM change. Keep ways wiped with oiled a long rack mounted on back side and handle with spur gear mounted on tail stock make running tail stock back and forth much nicer.

great vid with morning coffee

Thank you for showing us how to do that on a Driveline appreciate it brother go firewood truck!!!
I liked Paul's comment at 8' 06". "I better put up my safety glasses so they don't get scratched." They wouldn't get scratched on your face either!
It's funny, every imperfection or cut corner is massaged away with the simple phrase "It's the wood truck"
Clever bloke with a nice missus.
Cover those bedways when grinding/welding. Those are your lifeblood. The more you have it, the more you'll use it.
Like A Rock good ole chevy
“Not the first time I built a drive line,... but the first time today”
Hey it's this you Paul Cox my name is Hector.
The first thing Keith Rucker or any machinist will tell is NEVER EVER leave the chuck key in the chuck. Been there done that - not good!! I envy your shop, look like now everything you need.
i can smell the burning metal as it cuts from here. love that smell, except mine usually is a dremel, not a huge ancient lathe lol
Brownies did somebody say brownies keep up the good work!!👍👍💪💯
I laughed so hard when you all said "he's making brownies" at the same time....
We had oil drippers that had a lever on top to open and close.

I run the Flowsound, had Flowmaster 40 before but the Flowsound has a better exhaust note!
The old gal (lathe) is pretty smooth, this was a great addition to your shop.
I love the early 80s Double Dragon video arcade music lol
