Old Steam Powered Machine Shop 59 Millwright adventures

Video 59 continues the installation of the 1897 8 foot Whitcomb metal planer in the steam powered machine shop. The second main shaft is put up and connected to the planer. The belt connection between the main shafts and building the belt shifter system to act as a clutch is all that remains to do. Your questions, comments and stories about historical machine work and steam power are always welcome here.....Dave
