very nice job. I just picked up a craftsman belt sander it looks very similar to this one but has no markings on it. Where did you find a belt for it and could you tell me the size? Once again great job looks very nice.

Nice job. I absolutely love the nonferrus design of these century fans. I was able to ground both of mine and i run them ALL the time with no worries. The smoothest running fans ever made imo. Check out mines lol. ❤

I found plans for this lathe in a Popular Mechanics Book from 1943 and reissued in 1944, (i.e. the MIDDLE of World War II ) and designed so the average person could build it with the limited materials on hand at that time. (Yes, you had to have access to some nuts and bolts, but a lot of these projects called for junk yard salvage) Taking that into consideration, it's a pretty good design. Thrilled to see that you have actually built one! (with a a few improvements) Thank you so much for posting a video of it for us to enjoy. This is GREAT!!!

Wow that rotor looked incredibly cherry. Yeah…some of these have lots of pot metal. On some later century the entire motor housing is pot metal and it pretty much crumbles attempting to remove the stator.

My parents bought a 1910 home from its original owner in 1955 which came with this grinder. I was awakened by the grinding sound most mornings (thanks mom!) I now do the grinding myself partially awake... I landed here looking for cleaning tips as I think the burrs might be hanging onto grinds longer than they might. Enjoyed your dissection so I know what to expect. ☕

How do adjust it for different grind size, if possible
@benstown720911 ай бұрын
I think tightening up the wingnut on the front of it is supposed to adjust grind size, but it really doesn’t seem to make too much difference

Just finished this last one when I got home from church today. Started pretty late last night when I found your channel. It's amazing what you were able to do with this, especially considering how it looked on that first video. And figuring out all that apparatus/governor - very impressive. I enjoyed this series very much. Thanks for sharing it and congratulations.

My Dad had one of these when he ran a barbeque pit. I was only about 4 years old and was never around when he used it. But I remember it well because it looked so big to me then - and that color was unusual. I'm 62 now, so it's been a few years. It must have been a good unit as they cut a lot of hickory to fire a large pit in southern Kentucky.

My rule is 1-1/2 to 2 turns off the seat on the main carb jet as a beginning setting. There is a cheap tool from all the T suppliers that sets the timer location. It saves a lot of guesswork. Nice job. Very thorough.

I just found your series on the Model T power unit. It is great. I thought you might like to know that the long spark you found is for a Maytag engine. They often have 2 or more electrodes. That governor is really neat. I'm watching now to see it run.

If you are talking about the wood handle on the crank arm, you will have to carefully grind or file off the mushroomed part of the bolt/rivet and then you can drive out the long rivet. When you reassemble you just peen over the end to hold it in place.
