Truly amazing setup-a young fellow to take this old technology on its next long journey-stay safe and fit to enjoy your passion and labours.

Are you sure your workshop is not a time capsule😂, thats a sure good place to be in when doing work, looking forward to see that mill's 1st workpiece being made
Jonsey this is a great video. I am very interested in the "fine detail" of the machines. Perhaps you could make a video or some videos showing some of the fine detail. One thing that caught my eye was the tool post on the Drummond lathe when you were making the bushing for the line shaft pulley. I not only see these old machines a work of art but the associated tooling that was used with them to be very interesting to me. The oldest machine I have is a Camel Back drill press made by Champion Blower in the late 1800's early 1900's era. Truly design and mechanical marvels. Thanks for bringing us along.
The pillow block bearing in the centre is a total loss bearing fed with a drip oiler which needs filling daily. The hanger brackets are ring oil bearings which have little sumps. The ring sits over the shaft and also in the oil underneath thereby oiling the shaft as it spins. These need need topping up monthly as there is a tiny bit of loss out the ends. The loose pulleys on all the machines get oiled every 8 hours runtime and the countershaft bearings get oiled daily. I still have various ball bearings dotted about which I'm slowly getting rid of. I grease these quarterly, unless I forget.
Lovely job on that, perfect size of mill. Construction is quite similar to the Brown and Sharpe No1 on this side of the lake. Cheers
Brilliant to watch. Your lineshaft set up and mill look superb. I've two vintage ex lineshaft spindle moulders. Cheers Tony
Great work. Love the shed and the lineshaft
Thanks!
Beautifully restored machine and sounding wonderful.
Cheers. It's extremely useful!
I just found your channel. I've been binge watching. Very cool. I'm jealous.
Found it today - watched about 8 videos already

Brilliant video!

Quality...

All powered by Solar electricity? Wouldn’t like the bill. Great job though.
Thanks for sharing this
How often do you have to lube the bearings on the line shafts
