Steam Powered Machine Shop 85: Gear Cutting 1890 style
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 6 ต.ค. 2024
- Up next are some clips from the steam powered shop fabricating 3 gears for a n early 1920's gasoline pump restoration. There will be other parts to follow that were in just as rough shape. The editing is a little rough here also because support for the program I've been using from the beginning had been abandoned by the maker and wouldn't work when I loaded it into a new computer. This one is about the most user "unfriendly" piece of work I've ever seen. Thanks for watching, and commenting.....steam on.....Dave
Glad to see you're still working in the shop. I was begining to think that you never came back from Florida this year. Can't wait to see the finished pump!
He did, and rebuilt a Farmall head for Pete Larsen, at Just a Few Acres Farm.

Hi Dave,
I’m Paolo from Italy, and I found (by chance) your channel some days ago; I’ve spent all my free time watching your videos, forgetting TV, my wife and my dogs.
I learned a lot. Thanks!
I’m 77, I’m retired, and I have a tiny shop in my garage with two lathes: a Myford Super 7, complete, and another that was scrapped by my former Technical High School where I got my Diploma more than half a century ago, but still working quite well.
I also own a Bridgeport milling machine, scrapped by the previous owner (and refurbished by me, at least to working conditions) with all the tools and trimmings.
I used to be a Pilot; I got my CPL/IR (A & H) license in the USA when GPS was not even invented, and pilots were not systems or PlayStation operators; navigation, especially in the West, required real piloting! Your Aeronca Chief is a Pilot’s Airplane!
I lost my medical due to health problems, so I spend my free time (and I have a lot now, being retired) tinkering in my shop.
I repeat again: I learned so many things from your videos that I’ll wait for your next one, checking your channel daily.
I have no space for a steam engine, and my wife stubbornly refuses to let me place one in our living room, but I tell you, I’m missing one! Just for the heartbeat noise and the constant need to tend to those simple but fascinating mechanisms.
Keep going, please. Never give up. All those pearls of knowledge and experience you pass to your viewers aren’t lost forever. this way.
Please forget my English… It's not my mother language…
Paolo from Italy
Thanks for the great comment, good to hear from Italy. I hope to get more work done on restoring the steam engine this summer. Thanks for watching.....Dave
I'm from Italy too. This is a great and precious channel. Thanks David
Awesome! Hope all has been well with you. I've really missed your videos and look forward to your future posts.
Welcome back, David. You have been missed by many.
Thanks for sharing.
Watching your channel is like talking to an old friend that I haven’t seen in awhile
Really good to see you again, and your fantastic shop with those beautiful old machines, that still doing jobs, not just standing in a museum.
Great to see you back!! Been waiting for a new episode
Beautiful work as always. I don't mind saying I was starting to get more than a little concerned about your absence.
Super to see you posting vids again.
I'm a patient man but I was getting a little concerned and was getting ready to send you an Email, thanks for the relief your obviously in good health, thanks for all you do🤗😎😎
nice to see your doing well and welcome back
Good to see you back!
Those old gears had seen better days.
They looked past Thier best mate
Good to see you doing well!
Hey, Good to see you!!! I always stop everything I am doing to enjoy watching your stuff. There is a TH-cam vidio I think You will really like that recentley came out titled: Abandoned Steam Engine Brought Back to Life! - 1908 Industrial Time Capsule. It has been preserved, untuched, kept seceret & hidden in an old waterworks building for YEARS & was for the most part intact & just as good of condition as the day it stopped turning✌👍
That is an incredible video, btw. There’s an open house tomorrow and I will be there!
YOU'RE BACK!!!! Been wondering how you are doing..
Russ
Always great to see your content hope you continue to make a lot of it
Welcome back.
Greetings from Friesland in the Netherlands Henk
Great to see you Dave thanks for sharing with us
Old machines are a lot easier to work with than old computer programs. Great video as always. Thanks.
Welcome back old friend was beginning to fear the worst 🫣
Damn it's good to see you friend. Welcome back.
Good to see that you are still alive and kickin’ Dave. You still post about the most enjoyable machining content on TH-cam. Just about everything that you do, the average guy can relate to and learn from and that’s great. Thanks
I am still amazed at how quiet the steam engine is. It must be so relaxing working in your shop. Thanks for the video.
It make you realise that the past ways were sort of quiet or soothing, steam or wind or water. Did miss the clock on this one tho
Welcome back. Hope you're doing well. Greetings from The Netherlands
Good to see you back in action. I thought you had went to poop and the hogs ate you or something.
Not yet.....Dave
Nice work on beautiful old machines.
Bonjour David,
Happy to see you back after more than 7 months !
Amicalement, Raphaël
Glad to see you back
David, good to see you back.
That is the same boring bar that I had in my automotive machine shop. Brings back memories. I looked for you at Kinser this past August. If you were there I missed you.
Great video Sir, I thoroughly enjoyed it.
I make a living on a 1948 Bucyrus Erie 22w cable tool drilling rig. I love love to see old machinery still making it go in today's world. I'm a firm believer nothing made in our current age will out perform what our grandfather's made. Thanks
Thanks Dave! You just made my day!
Dave good to see you hope all is well it is always worth the wait. Like you I am stuck in the old ways it seems simple, after all it's all in the set up. Have a good time my friend time is what's left Paul.
It's good to see you back David, thanks for sharing.
If there was ever a large scale Emp attack, or a solar flare event, this place would be worth its weight in gold.
Nice to see you tweking in that beautiful steam shop !!
Ah, memories, memories, of shop and steam. many thanks from UK.
just found your channel and i'm speechless- hats off to you sirs!
I am very glad to see you back in your shop!!!!! ❤
Hi Dave. Thanks for posting another job. Always learn something and it's much appreciated.
Good to see you back in the shop Dave great work as always.
Welcome back. It always brightens my day to see another video from the line-powered machine shop.
Awesome a new video. Been looking forward to another one
Keep well Dave!
It finally cooled down to where you can fire things up again. 👍
That's the truth....Dave
Gday Dave, fantastic to see you again in the workshop and it’s good to see Tom is there as well, I’ve missed seeing your videos, the 3 pinion gears turned out great, the new over arm support made a big difference to the rigidity, brilliant work as always, cheers
Cool editing trick to make the indicator fade away - Nicely done!
Anything cool happening with this editing program is just luck...Dave
Glad to hear from you again Mr Richards!!
I have missed your videos, glad to see you!
Hi Dave, great video, look forward to seeing you at the Florida hideout soon. Regards from Catskill New York
Hi Ron (The Cannon Man), Thanks, I'm turning some of your brass this week.....Dave
Glad to see you are alive and well! Thanks for posting another video.
Good seeing you Dave, always looking forward to seeing your video. Take care of yourself.
David, Good to see you back. You have been much missed. I grew up in a similar shop that my dad had. Wasn't steam powered but machines of the same vintage. It was sold to protect my Mom in her older years. I'm 80 now and still machine in a shop I've put together, about half the size of yours. Filled with wwII era machines.Thank you for the fine videos.
Sure was nice to see you lighting the boiler!
I am now over 80 and don't need glasses. I just take it straight from the bottle!
Keep going, Dave!
Mike down in Virginia
I'm almost there, but have a focus problem....Dave
Thanks Dave , great to see you back ! Hope all is well ..........
Really glad to see You back with Your videos David .You have been missed by many I'm sure . Thanks very much .
I love seeing these old tools with the old texts and beautiful posts coming out. Thank you for keeping the light alive and the beautiful machine tools.
Hello sir! Nice to see a post! Thank you !!! Hope all is well as can be in this Idiocracy of this world today!! We need people like yourself ! It will be people like you that will instrumental in rebuilding society and they blow it all up! Burn it all down!!!! As long as we can survive!
Love the early indicator - one step up from the scribing block. What a great channel. Cheers
Great see you back working in the shop keeping that history alive amazing what could be done 100 years ago with precision and steam power thanks again Dave for sharing with us
Hi Dave and Tom great job on the gears.
Thanks. That was the most understandable explanation of a dividing head. I’ll never use one but it won’t be a mystery.
Nice video. I worked in a factory in the 1980s. We had an end mill that we used to cut keywys in shafts. It was similar to the end mill at 18 minutes but more enclosed. An employee was running it, and he had leather gloves on and was brushing out millings from the cutter. His glove got caught in the cutter. It drug his arm in and split his arm in two up to his elbw. He ended up healing and losing some use of his arm. To this day, he still wears a compression sleave on his arm most of the time. Lesson learned, I guess.
Glad to see you back Dave
This new video made my day! I love watching you work, listening to the machinery run, and reliving found memories. I'm truly happy to see a new video!
So satisfying to see a replacement part come to life..
fascinating !!! Thanks for this upload and explanations
Great to have you back. Quite a difference between the old and new gears LOL.
I'm thrilled to see you back and looking good. A real improvement with the addition of the braces. I can see it's really added to the rigidity of the machine. Fabulous job on the gears.
This is so cool to see you guys working old school. Im a conventional turner / miller. When i went to school there where no cnc machines. But conventionals on electric machines you guys do it with steam driven machines.
I love the sound of the old machines and steam. Keep it up guys Greetings from the Netherlands.
Glad you are watching from Netherlands....Dave
Happy to see you back.😊
Nice work Dave, job shops are hard to find.
Glad to see you back, Dave, keep up the good work, Jim
