Nice addition to your shop. Very reminiscent of a Heald Universal Grinder that was rebuilt at the shop I served my apprenticehip at nearly 50 years ago. Heavy stable machine as well!
G’day Max, thanks for the update. All this machinery in the shed and no power to wind any of it over, would drive me bonkers. Anyhow keep plodding mate it’s all coming together well. Have a good one 👍
Max, I love and value all the little snippets of information you provide in your videos. Particularly those not necessarily related to machining, such as moving machines with used slings and watching and listening for telltale signs from the skates. Pure gold mate! In fact, just the way you approach jobs demonstrates your skill and experience. Thank you.
Good idea . I will be on the scrounge now for good quality worn reamers now , so they can be re ground to a new size before they go into the cutter grinder . 👍
Hey Max that Churchill is a diamond in the rough. I have a Churchill NB 18" x 6" Surface Grinder built 1959. Still within a tenth of a thou. Will be interesting to see if yours has the hardened slippers on the slideways like mine. My J&S 1300 Cylindrical Grinder is similar, double swivel with in/external heads. I still owe you some pictures once my knee gets better. Take care. Graham.
Gday Max, great tip on welding up the door frame, the new grinder looks to be a good original unit, between all the grinders I think you’ve got all jobs covered, thanks for the update, cheers
Cheers Matty . I was after a larger one , but after looking at this one i think it will be a good size . It will be good in case i need to make any hardened & ground parts for the machine restorations ahead . 👍
Thanks for the update Max. And I really enjoy the clips from your day job. Always interesting stuff. Love the new machines, awesome addition to the new shop.
I took a sawzall and cut some pads from a steel belted car tire I use to put between the skates and the machine base, the rubber grabs the skates and the machine quite well. After I cut them out I took a disc sander and removed the wires that were sticking out.
I use rubber if they keep wanting to shift as well , or if there is 4 skates instead of 3 . It seems to keep the 4th skate loaded up enough to stay put ( usually !) 👍
Those are some interesting machinery skates. Never seen ones quite like it (not that I have seen all that many). That big shop keeps getting smaller every day. ;)
Great job on the doors. Going to take some time to go through the machines but it has always been one of the more enjoyable things I have done in the shop.
@@swanvalleymachineshop painting has always been my least favorite part of refurbishing but without it all the repairs, refinements and modification seem to just get lost into the chipped and faded paint.
Looking like a nice machine under the clag Max. Will be another great addition, looking forward to seeing you make the tool holders (eventually of course). Cheers, Jon
@@swanvalleymachineshop hello max...there are two burin sharpening machines made in Spain, one from 1960 and the other from 1970 approximately...with a little love we will bring them back to life...being poor is what you have...that there is to rescue machines Otherwise I wouldn't have almost any machinery in the workshop... but well... it's also part of the fun and of looking around the planet a little, that now everything is manufactured to be used and thrown away and I'm totally against that concept. .a hug friend
Hi Max Shop doors, shop job as track refit and moving shop machines. A nice look at work flow to the area and what's been happening. I look forward to seeing chips and machine functions. M.
Looking great mate! Some nice new gear landing. I drove past last week on my way home from filling in ditches and gave you a wave, it’s looking real flash from the outside too!
Hi Max, we had a large Churchill cylinder grinder in our main workshop in the refinery, closest I got to using it was balancing the wheels for the operator. Sold off mid seventies for lack of use. Chinese Lathe took its place, sacrilege!
You've got the good skates 😊. We've got the same style at work. They work really good. No hang-ups on little pebbles lol. I always put stuff like that link on backwards first for good measure 🤣. That was a joke.... maybe 🤣 Cheers!
Do they make the bolted master links for the D-10 chain? It seems like everything uses them now. Good to see another video. TH-cam doesn't notify me so I usually check every week.
Yes , most dozer master links are the bolt together claw type . You still need the track press if you have to change them though if they are stuffed . 👍
Alright. Buy a machine to make a tool for use in another machine to make more tools that will maybe, eventually make a something. I'm loving it. Your shed looks great, by the way. - Ed.
Great effort Max, I was starting to have withdrawals waiting on the next video, so thanks for making the effort. Could I make a small suggestion? If it were me with the personal doors, I’d be inclined to put in two diagonal braces (in compression), just to obviate any future tendency to sag over time. The flat sheet metal will triangulate it probably enough, as long as no one kicks it or backs into it to deform it probably but you can never be too careful I guess. Just a suggestion.
Dang Max have your work cut out for you for some time just cleaning up and getting all the new used machinery in service. Should keep you out of trouble for a while. And good entertainment for us!
That new grinder is a beast. I guess it's fair to say you won't be using the tool post grinder that you made all the R-8 tooling with. I wouldn't call myself an operator, but I have unloaded an excavator sidway off a lowboy, so I liked seeing the new links being put on. 👍
As a kid I remember watching an Allis HD 16 being loaded onto a low loader sideways, he pushed a little pile of dirt up beside the low loader and up and screwed on it went. That little pile of dirt was there for years. Every thing about that dam building job and some scrub clearing is etched into my mind, it was a big thing for a little kid in the mid 60s. Knowing the bloke, his tracks were probably a bit dodgy too. Jeff
Hi Max! A hot cup of coffee,.. or a cold beer,....YOUR VIDEO...CAN't BE BEAT!! You have built a beautiful shop, and it should serve you well for many years. Do you have work lined up for those machines? As word gets around, YOU are going to be busier that a one legged man in an ass kicking contest! I would bet that you get a lot of enjoyment out of your work! I Really enjoy the video's! Best Wishes, AND GOD BLESS! Gary
Hi Max, I am looking forward to seeing the machines in action. Huge learning curve to working them for sure. Tense moment waiting for the track pin to pop and what part will go flying. Cheers
In german: "Schmutzige Hände sind fleißige Hände!" - In english: "Dirty hands are busy hands!" - Greetings from Dresden! 👍💪😎 PS.: Have much fun with your new toy! 😉😎
G'day Max. Thats a nice collection of machines you're getting. When is Matty heading over to WA to help you strip, clean and paint these (ha ha). Wow, those excavator pins are in there very bloody tight. Good job on the doors mate. You'll be supplier Bunnings soon if you keep that up. Sorry to hear that Hiab wouldn't lift that machine. I bet you were saying some choice words on that day. Cheers buddy, Aaron.
That is a proper shop door Max. Good luck to random thief trying to boot it open…LOL. Pucker factor on pushing those pins has to run high at times. Nice new machine. When you get all fired up your local electric provider is gonna send you a Christmas Card and provide you a designated parking spot down at their offices…😀
G'day Max. More toys, you're incorrigible, I'm sure it will be useful. I was going to say your lighting needs to be improved but it seems you need some electricity first, that'll be a big job when you get round to it. Solid looking door, I thought at first it would sound a bit tinny but the insulation will give it a solid sound. Cheers Peter
I still have nightmares from using machine skates - don't use them anymore. I ran into a rigging company here in the US that knew a better way. They used a series of hardwood rods - something like 30mm in diameter. As one rod come out - it gets placed in front of the machine - to steer a kick here and there. They used a lever to push the machine along. What was a nightmare of a job, ends up looking like play time. You might want to get one of these: th-cam.com/video/Ys5ca0DUXE0/w-d-xo.html
You just have to be super careful with skates & know what can go wrong . Never heard of wood rods being used before , would work providing the machine had enough of a flat area for them to run on . Steel round bar is the easiest but same again , the machine has to have a suitable base . There is the odd ''Wobbly '' ( tractor crane )come up for sale here , unfortunately i do not have the door height ! 👍
Nice work Max looks like you're getting close now. Will there be any budget left to consider solar electric panels on that huge roof space to help offset running costs of your new shop?
Nice addition to your shop. Very reminiscent of a Heald Universal Grinder that was rebuilt at the shop I served my apprenticehip at nearly 50 years ago. Heavy stable machine as well!
Thanks . It will be a great addition once restored .👍
Your going to have one nice shop once you are done. Good chatting with you also.
Thanks . Yes , it was good to have a quick chin wag the other day . 👍
Hello Max,
I really like the cylindrical grinder... I will be great watching the refurb of it... See you on the next one...
Take care.
Paul,,
Thanks Paul . 👍
glad you got that cylindrical grinder mate! wish I had the room in my shed!
Had to get it , they don't seem to come along often !👍
Looking good max, got all the bells and whistles....
Thanks . 👍
Hi Max, love the Churchill gear !
Thanks . Solid as the rock of Gibraltar ! 👍
@@swanvalleymachineshop Yeah made just down the road from me and we would very much like it back please !
G’day Max, thanks for the update. All this machinery in the shed and no power to wind any of it over, would drive me bonkers. Anyhow keep plodding mate it’s all coming together well. Have a good one 👍
If they were wired up , i would never finish the new shop building !!! 👍

Thanks , it can be the small usually overlooked details that can make a job easy or difficult . 👍
That's a mighty good looking grinder that you have there . Color me, jealous ! I very much would like to see more of that !
Thanks 👍
Hi Max. That is a good grinder for making custom size annular cutters. Just apply 2 deg back taper.
Good idea . I will be on the scrounge now for good quality worn reamers now , so they can be re ground to a new size before they go into the cutter grinder . 👍
Looks great. Nice job on the doors!
Thanks 👍
Congrats on the new acquisition. You are gonna have one helluva shop.
Thanks Rob . I told you i would pop some hyd press or porta power clips in ! It is usually hard to film at work . 👍
That is an awesome new machine Max!
Thanks 👍

Nice grinder, I ran a plain OD grinder of that size and vintage and make for about 2 years, great machines.
Thanks 👍
Like those hydraulic rams, certainly very forces needed, high loads on the assembly.
Shop and machines coming along nicely 👌.
Thanks for sharing.

Great work mate
Thanks . 👍
Looking great mate! Some nice new gear landing. I drove past last week on my way home from filling in ditches and gave you a wave, it’s looking real flash from the outside too!

Hi Max, we had a large Churchill cylinder grinder in our main workshop in the refinery, closest I got to using it was balancing the wheels for the operator.
Sold off mid seventies for lack of use.
Chinese Lathe took its place, sacrilege!
I agree , if it is a very large Chinese lathe then it's probably ok ! 2 out of the 15 machines i have are from China ! 👍
Good video Max enjoyed the mixed content. Leaving those anchor bolts long is a great tip for any new shop builders. Tony
Thanks Tony . I trust you are progressing well on your floor . 👍
@@swanvalleymachineshop That was a reup video from about a year ago. Cheers Max.
@@eyuptony I remember you doing some of it , i thought you were doing more !
Nobody will ever accuse you of slacking off, you get stuff done.
No time for slacking off ....yet ! 👍
Hi Max... lots of good gear & restoration videos coming up. At least I know where there is a Link Pin Tool for doing my chainsaw chains lol
Lol . 👍
G'day Max, You be careful on that roof. I met Queen Mary once, pleasant chap , but the beard didn't go with the dress, lol.
👍👍👍
Nice job on the doors. Will that grinder offset so you can grind crank shafts
Thanks . No , a crankshaft grinder is set up way different . 👍
You've got the good skates 😊. We've got the same style at work. They work really good. No hang-ups on little pebbles lol.
I always put stuff like that link on backwards first for good measure 🤣.
That was a joke.... maybe 🤣

Cant beat the skates , except for a giant overhead crane ! 👍
Thanks Max 👍

Sheets are1.6 mm on both sides & 50 x 4mm stainless rivets , brewers droop will never happen ! 👍

I like your grinder collection.
Is it hard to find machines in Perth?
They do pop up from time to time , usually half knackered ...or bloody expensive 👍
That new grinder is a beast. I guess it's fair to say you won't be using the tool post grinder that you made all the R-8 tooling with.
I wouldn't call myself an operator, but I have unloaded an excavator sidway off a lowboy, so I liked seeing the new links being put on. 👍
The TPG will get it done but takes way too long ! Side loading is not common any more , i had to put a 70 ton excavator on sideways once . 👍
