Love the manual illustrations.

[@michaelboyle1983]

Really cool old machines but it makes it even more special when it comes from a friend. I hope he's in heaven. God bless you and your family!

[@OldIronMachineWorks]

Thank you Michael. I’m proud to own it. Thanks for checking out the video. Gary

Some of us will never find true love. That lathe is lovely. Then again, I don't know what I would do with myself if I wasn't constantly working on old worn out machines that I have to settle with. I don't know how you guys find these machines. It's like finding a woman that hasn't been ran through, with a bunch of issues.

[@TheAyrCaveShop]

Two Beautiful machines Gary...Thanks for sharing & the story....Merry Christmas to you and Family... PS There's no bedrock under the town where you live..hope your shop doesn't start sinking with all that iron...LOL

[@OldIronMachineWorks]

Thanks for stopping by Dean. So far my house is hanging in there :)You also have a Merry Christmas. Gary

[@TraditionalToolworks]

This shows the shaper a lot better.

[@onehot57]

Gary if that lathe is made like the rest of the Cincinnati equipment, it’s a tank and a real beauty! I have been wanting a shaper but can’t seam to find the right one.

[@metalworksmachineshop]

Good looking machines. Welcome to the shaper club.

[@OldIronMachineWorks]

Thank you Doug, Between yours and Steves I knew I wanted a Cincinnati.

A beautiful old American lathe, Shaper. I love Shapers. I am envious. I'll have to pray for forgiveness. Enjoy those great Old Iron machines.

[@OldIronMachineWorks]

Thank you Vernon.

[@nevillemarchand6140]

Hi its hard not having at least a first name to address you. At this rate you will have excess machines to sell off and you will need the new workshop.I like the precision you work with. Lovely family and all the best Regards Nev

[@OldIronMachineWorks]

My name is Gary. I appreciate the kind words. Thanks for taking the time to check out my video. Gary

[@rldoyle5705]

[@andyZ3500s]

Two very nice machines. That is one nice lathe --- everything thing about it condition, taper and all the accessories. It is so cool that the owner was a friend of yours. All most forgot I liked the video. It was nice to get a good look at it. Andy

[@ruperthartop7202]

Lovely lathe. My dad always said Cincinnati was a quality product. Thanks for sharing

[@rogerwilliams2902]

Beautiful lathe !. Remember as a kid, the Cincinnati factory a couple of miles from where we used to live in Birmingham ( UK ), huge place, mostly gone now apart from the original ornate office building which thankfully still remains. Healthy new year to you !.

[@EverettsWorkshop]

Nice old machines, and even cooler with the connection of the lathe with your late friend. Hope you and your family have a very Merry Christmas and awesome New Year!

[@OldIronMachineWorks]

Everett, Thank you. It was very cool that I was able to get it. You and your family also have a Merry Christmas. Now off to check out your latest video.Gary

[@silverbullet7434]

Nice pair of machines the lathe sure is extra good condition. The shaper we'll see I guess in the future. I'd sure like to have them both. Lots of luck to you n thanks for sharing.

[@Rustinox]

I hope we'll see that shaper running one day.

[@OldIronMachineWorks]

Rustinox , Me to :) Over the last few weeks I did get a spot cleared out in my shop and got it moved into its new home. Then my mom got sick and we’ve had her in the hospital for most of the last week. She doing better and hoping to have here back home today before the end of the niners game :) Yes you will see it run one day. Gary

[@dougvanallen2212]

Hey Gary nice story about the lathe have a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year

[@OldIronMachineWorks]

Doug, Thank you. And you also have a Merry Christmas. Gary

[@richardklein2353]

Gary, on items too big for the parts washer or blast cabinet, in cleaning up the painted surfaces, what solvents do you like to use? I would love to see some footage on how you do it. Beautiful lathe with a sentimental connection, looking forward too seeing the shaper come back to fine working order.

[@craigtate5930]

Love the shaper

[@OldIronMachineWorks]

Thanks, I can’t wait to get it running. But still trying to make room in the shop 🙂. Thanks for stopping by. Gary

[@JourneymanRandy]

Nice machines Gary. That lathe looks mint. Cool that it was your friends. Have a Merry Christmas

[@OldIronMachineWorks]

Thank you Randy, and you also have a merry Christmas. Gary

[@hilltopmachineworks2131]

Nice machine machines. Cool story on the lathe. I saw that shaper forsale on E-bay. Glad you got it.

[@OldIronMachineWorks]

Hi Tom, I won it on a auction bid. When I also seen it on eBay I thought there was no way I was going to win the bid. Thankfully I was wrong. What I ended up paying wasn’t even close to what they were asking on eBay. It just shows that you can’t use eBay for determining a price. 😊

[@hilltopmachineworks2131]

Old Iron Machine Works awesome.

[@zephyrold2478]

Nice machines. a Merry Christmas to you and yours.

[@kentuckytrapper780]

I'm in the process of restoring my father-in-law's Cincinnati tray top 18×54, I need the worm gear bad trying to get it done for x-mas, do you have or no where I can get a few parts for it ? Would be much appreciated. Great story of yours.

[@swanvalleymachineshop]

A couple of nice machines . That looks like an L2 taper on the nose . Cheers .

[@OldIronMachineWorks]

Max Grant ,The Swan Valley Machine Shop. It’s actually a LO Thanks for stopping by. Gary

[@OldIronShops]

I know where a 16" Cincinnati shaper is but I'm looking for line shaft drive machinery myself. Nice score 👍

[@outsidescrewball]

enjoyed....beautiful machines.....any interest in a Cincinnati vertical mill? I know where one is....

[@OldIronMachineWorks]

Chuck, I think I’m all milled out. 😀

[@SteveSummers]

I'm late but nice shaper👍

[@OldIronMachineWorks]

Thanks Steve, probably looks a little familiar :) Gary

[@JourneymanRandy]

I watched again. I like the Cincinnati. What does that beauty weigh? I would guess near 5000lbs.

[@OldIronMachineWorks]

Randy, in the background of one of the pictures you will see a green forklift. That is a 30,000 pound Mitsubishi. Shaper is just under 7000 pounds. That’s why I decided it’s about as big as I can go. 😀 As far as the Cincinnati lathe, not sure but not even close to the 7000 pounds the shaper weights.Although my big lathe weighs over 9000 pounds so maybe I could of went for a bigger shaper :)

[@chuirios365]

I dream of finding a small shaper, nice lathe too.

[@davestrong6472]

Just wondering if the guy who bought the building was a dentist, was the tools shipped to Sparks Nv. ? Dave

[@OldIronMachineWorks]

Dave , nope, different guy

[@laurenceporter9354]

[@michaelkenefick]

Mike Thomas? AKA the King of West Coast Arnfest ruckering.

[@OldIronMachineWorks]

Michael Kenefick , That would be him 😀 A great guy! Thanks for stopping by. Gary
