How much does it weigh?

Please please get rid of gloves near moving equipment. I saw the end result when people wear gloves near machines. I know people say that was that person not me . Thank you for sharing your wonderful machines with us.

Sleeves up near a turning lathe. Just asking to become a pirate with any loose clothing near a spinning machine

$1900 CAD is a steal!

Whatever you can imagine is now possible. Keep the ways clean and oiled and check the oil level in the gearbox. Must be able to see the oil level in the sight glass. That gearbox is the "heart" of your lathe. Good deal.

I like your style of videos and stories, cool stuff. Keep it up 🤙🏼

thats a fair deal in my opinion too.

Tools made in that era are often physically beautiful things.. So well designed and built.

But is it all metric?

Big old lathes are great value if you have the room and means to transport thrm. The typically fetch less than smaller lathes in simmilar condition because the market for them is much smaller.

Can we tighten that motor bolt… little bit of wiggle room is ok, but that’s a bit much.

thats a lot of adjustable hammers

Always fascinated by the devices and tools made in the past, that aren't made anymore, that not only were often times ingenious, but in many cases were better than what came after in both its focused simplicity, and all that that implies, and how with decent maintenance can still out perform more expensive equipment for it more "primitive" design. The power hammer is hitting hard enough to rock the camera with each strike. XD

You're livin my dream, bud.

Very nice machine tool.

Here's to our grandfather's!👍✌️⚒️

I have one very similar to this. My great grandpa made it 90ish years ago

Interesting video! What is your cost for running than shop for a day. Diesel for the aircompressor and gas for the forge etc?

I would love to own one of these, but boy they are hard to find now!

Not gonna wear pants in a video because your a man? Not a model? Dude wtf

Excellent thanks I am just going to a forced air burner and this is a big help with the final design Cheers

Awsome deal cool tool

Why do the outlets have no covers?

absolutely incredible, its amazing what lasts when its built right. I hope to one day have a house where I can accumulate a collection of my own tools

👍✌️⚒️

I would like a video on where you got your sideburns and why you decided to go with that proprietor of facial hair. Thanks

Is that nut supposed to be loose?

Didn’t expect a video response to my question :P

I mean. They look good, but dont be so insecure. The whole 'because I'm a man' without being able to deliver with confidence isnt a good look. That said Alek steele doesnt seem to waste time with cheap crap. Whats the cost?

Steeles like Alex Steele the blacksmith?

Neat bit of did ya know. Thanks for sharing Ethan. You should share more like this along with your regular content.

That's incredible I never knew it was done on purpose I thought it was simply a stylistic difference.

That 1” looked more like 5/8” tbh

Now I can go snipe hunting 😂 JK great advice young man

Take it a step further, get yourself a spud wrench 🫨

Those are not Cresent wrenches they are adjustable wrenches

The crescent wrench is a brand name. I learned in my auto shop class in 1972, you are using an open end adjustable wrench. I was only one that got it correct on a test to name tools, all the guys called it a crescent wrench & got it wrong! I was so happy the teacher told the class, I was the only one in the class that got it correct! Hello 👋🏻 from Southern California 🌴

We call that pipe a cheater bar. If you need a cheater bar you should be using a box end wrench because the adjustment mechanism allows for too much slop increasing the likelihood of rounding the bolt or nut.

❤

So it really makes you wonder why they've re-engineered to handle which was stupid I like the original design

Those wrench’s are garbage, u out them on the fastener and they’re loose, u tighten them on to the fastener then when u take it off to turn the fastener again it’s not too small to fit, those adjustable wrench’s are only good for emergencies and the off chance u don’t have a specific size or if the head of the fastener is giant

pipe wrench is king

At about $50.00 difference in price. I'll use the cheap ones.

Or just use the proper wrench.

We call them shifters.

They look the same

You make a good argument for the tapered handle on the All-sixteenths adjustable nut lathe. Now i’ll be looking for that feature.

I love PA history… so how would they use those tongs they look larger than a human could use??

Weird question. Where can I get pants like those?

Have you considered using the handles for their intended purpose to see if there is any advantage that may outweigh any strength deficit? I'm guessing a perpendicular grain will give you a mechanical advantage like bow wood.
