Amazing old woodwork machinery

I spent the day with the most amazing old woodwork machines in the shop of @jackEnglishmachines
Jack is an amazing craftsman who has beautifully restored many amazing old woodwork machines and uses them daily in his work.

Another set of really well made super accurate wood joints with no apparent purpose have been completed. 👍🏻

The author does like to from scratch, kzbin.infoUgkxbnOKZBE4evMO5V2vroHeCjq6d_MV6wJO shaping and trimming wood from large blocks into fine finished products. As another reviewer mentioned, most projects require a lot of high-dollar equipment that most of us don’t have the room or budget for. But, knowing how to do these things, even if we won’t be able to practise the full stack project, is still great.

[@grannydeen1586]

That chain mortiser is way more accurate than I expected. What is that crazy little belt sander? I've never seen one before.

[@ForestWoodworks]

My heart melted when I saw this. Been working for a year on my own channel to restore a 1946 Walker-Turner 10 inch table saw. I'm so close, just gotta keep on pressing!

[@sxsboy2253]

I used to own an old 10” Delta radial arm saw. I consider it one of the most dangerous machines I’ve ever owned. The only machine I’ve had a “near miss” on and there were several. Seeing that dado machine with that large cutter made my butt pucker. I’m glad to see that you still have all of your fingers.

[@dustylumberco]

They can be dangerous if you use them wrong for sure

[@georgedennison3338]

Read my comment re: his Delta & my two '50's era DeWalts. They are only dangerous if you do one of two things, either combined or separate: try to use it like a table saw to rip lumber or be stupid! I've had one injury from my multitude of equipment in over 50 years. I still don't know how I did it, but I cut a blade groove in the end of my thumb 'bout 3/16" deep. I always thought it would feel like getting cut. It felt like someone hit me square on the end of my thumb w/ a 16oz hammer. It didn't sting or burn, it was just blunt force bam! Incomplete training, lack of training & fear killed on of the most versatile & accurate piece of equioment ever made, the Radial Arm saw. That shaper blade on the Delta is the kind of tool, only smaller, (they used 14" Dewalts), which built Levittown, NY. They had a mile long railroad siding, w/ the DeWalts side by side along the rails. Each machine was set up for a single length cut or shape. Either the lumber went behind the operator & used by carpenters or it went to the next station for another step until finished. The 1st example of onsite assembly line production of houses in the world. Two interesting factoids 'bout post WWII DeWalt. When you bought a saw, it was delivered by a trained instructor who spent the entire day teaching you how to use the saw. The 8 1/4" model sold for $110. A young aspiring comedian got his start being the spokesman for DeWalts in this era. George Gobel who went on to Hollywood & a life long career. There's YT vids of him appearing w/ Carson on the Tonight Show in stereotypical form of the '60's & '70's: a highball in one hand & a smoke in the other! LOL

@@terencemerritt Loved living/learning them, & love sharing them. Thanks If I continue to stay in throat cancer remission, & recover to my former self, I hope to resume the plan to launch a YT channel in the planning/concept stage for a couple of years. The critical foundation of partnering w/ a videographer/editor & reorganizing my multiple material fab shop, (I've been working in materials from cloth to stone for 50+ years) was getting going in mid-late 2019. In Jan '20, I got Covid which activated HPV related throat cancer; 2 surgeries in '20. Cancer returned & Fall '21 led to 7 weeks of chemo & radiation. The surgeries & actual treatment were not that debilitating, I actually was in better shape at the end of the 7 week regime, than before. Four day after last treatment, the bus, train, plane & semi hit me. The docs told me, "You'll be more tired than normal for 12-16 months. Possibly 4-6 shorter or 6-8 months longer." I was bedridden for 4 effing months. The 1st two, I could not sit up w/o help. The last day of treatment, I parked on the 5th deck, sprinted to & down the stairs & jogged to my last rad treatment. Return trip to 5th deck was same. When I got to the roof, I whooped & yelled, 'I'm gonna kick this cancer's azz just like those stairs! F@#$ cancer.' The yelling & hollering put me more out of breath than the 5 flights of stairs. I had just hit 67 the previous month. Two plus years later, I'm hoping & planning this Spring will be the time of my resurgence. I tried last Fall, & still had too much chemo fatigue, (look it up. I did to learn/figure out what was wrong w/ me.) I still have a 0.25" silicone tube going thru my abs, into my stomach. That's how I consume 98% of my liquid diet. Good old Mason jars & a funnel made from a big azz (600 ml) syringe from Amazon. The reason is the rad damaged the saliva glands & ended production. Imagine the worst case of dry mouth, ever. That's not close. No saliva, no swallowing. Good news is there's now intermittent production, getting better every month. That's my final big hurdle, physically. Then I can get final fit on dentures, (oh, yeah. One of those thing you don't know until you have to do it? Can't have any metal in your teeth or the radiation will melt your jaw bones. The 1st 2020 op was to remove all my teeth & do some much needed bony growth from my lower inside & outside jaw, (called tori; read 'bout them, too. Clenching your teeth is primary cause.) Last fun life learning fact: Medicare will pay to have teeth removed & the hammering, chiseling & planing of the tori, but they won't pay for dentures. A 2003 brain injury led to me losing everything I had earned & owned by age 50. Got my SS card at age 11, so I could work. A charity found a dentist to make dentures, post-op. Then before my final fitting, got the cancer is back diag & the generous dentist dumped me as a patient. Nice guy, huh? Getting teeth, even plastic is part of my return to living a normal life; well, normal for me. I DID come of age in the '60's, after all. I'm ugly enough, so teeth are a must. Unless I go the Avé or This Old Tony route & not show my face. Since Avé has granted me use of 'Empire of Dirt' for use in my channel's name, & TOT has... well, can't reveal everything. ;) After their generosity/encouragement, I can't very well dup their no face schtick, too. If you have a thirst for learning about how to fix, make, improve or create anything & everything and like hearing a good (true) tale from the filled to the brim life I've lived, then keep an eye on Avé & TOT for a possible reference to my channel or search on 'Empire of Dirt' every few months over the next year or so. Channel name still in works. Have considered Uncle Geo's Empire o' Dirt, but too damn old. Grandpa Geo's Empire o' Dirt is in the running. Let me know what you think of the name idea &/or make a suggestion. The channel's premise will teaching skills, how to do things yourself & cheap, (best ways to scrounge/re-purpose/use equipment in different ways). I literally can fix most anything fixable, & have invented create new types of equipment & tools & have built or helped build cars, houses, recording studios, TV/movie sets, computers & networks, most recently 'ported' the Lopez valve, (open-close valve), on my feeding tube to improve flow & eliminate plugging, which was a daily prob. In addition to inanimate objects, I've also helped improve humans. I am an Exercise Physiologist & therapist/counselor by education & have taught classroom & PE from K thru graduate level. My 1st 'career' was Sports Medicine, so I know how to improve, heal the human body. I spent 13 yrs in the field, from high school to college to pro football & pro baseball. I left the Dodgers & Sports medicine after the '89 season. It was more important to move to Portland, where my family lived & my, by then, ex-wife lived, so I could parent my two daughters via joint custody. I like, no love, to write & edit, as you can tell by my comments & replies. I was genetically designed to learn & teach. I've been told, literally, 3-4 dozen times I should write my bio. I've lived a 'Forrest Gump' kinda life in that by seizing life my it's tail, I've crossed life paths with some great people, both known worldwide & by only their friends & family. I have been truly blessed by the generosity of mind & matter of others, their love, support & encouragement and acceptance of me, warts, quirks & all. A few years of contemplating one's mortality has led to accept I'll never write the book. I hope to do it digitally via this world/life changing platform, YT. Things in life happen for a reason; if one is open to learning why, going for 'it' in the moment & being as self-aware as one can learn to be. YOUR comment has, in this moment, inspired me to write the 1st draft of my YT channel's mission statement & my background/history story. Thank you, from the bottom of my heart for the comment. Your few, genuine words inspired me at 'the' right moment, while I was sitting on 'the throne' of my Empire o' Dirt, before I went to my shop for an afternoon of work on my re-org/remodel, for the 1st time this year.

That old mortise machine was really cool. You're joinery videos are the best. You make it look so easy when in reality, it is extremely difficult.

[@CaliReignStudios]

​@The Dusty Lumber Co I wholeheartedly agree with the fact that you make it look easy. I actually acquired a 10" Ridgid Radial Arm Saw after watching you use one and let's just say my Tenons were not at all precise as yours. There's so many adjustments that need to be dialed in, it's a chore to get it setup but amazingly useful once you do so.

[@eaglewhite3107]

Back in the 1960's when I was a teenager working my first job I got to know a retired second-generation master carpenter. He told me when he was a little kid his first job was stoking the boiler last thing in the evening, and first thing before school, to keep up the steam pressure for his family's woodworking shop. The steam engine drove overhead jack shafts to power all the equipment. Everything operated off of those overhead shafts, power was transmitted via flat belts (un-guarded). Talk about danger.

Incredible old machines!! Second to none. Wadkin Temple is a great channel. Fun to see these tools in action. I have numerous old machines but not like those. Please use safety glasses while using these machines. Been woodworking for 50 years. The most important tool in the shop is your safety glasses. I have seen people lose an eye or injury it in the blick of an eye. I hate to see people get injured. It is life changing for worst and can be prevented. Always excellent to model great techniques with good safety procedures. Take care.

Essas maquinas todas são bem mais velhas que você, da época da industrialização americana nas décadas de 40 e 50. No nordeste dos EUA há muitas, a maioria em mal estado de conservação por serem obsoletas para uso industrial (repostas por CNCs) nas poucas indústrias que não fecharam quando a produção foi para a China ou México. Hoje aqui você consegue essas maquinas até de graça, só pagando o transporte que em sí já sai caro. Mesma coisa que pianos, porque ninguém quer mais. Já me ofertaram vários de graça, mas não quis pagar pelo transporte e a afinação.

There are still a couple tools in there from back then. One of them (either the drill press or the radial arm saw, I can't remember) has a disclaimer on the side saying that it's not the usual paint scheme on the machine, but it was painted according to specs from the War Board.

3:26 You know, I was just thinking to myself, the only thing that could possibly be more dangerous than a radial arm saw is a radial arm saw with a dado stack. Thank you, Mr Darwin, for showing me that there are still tools in this world that exist to punish the careless or unwary. Also, that plunging chainsaw router thing... "Hey, I need to cut a square-sided slot right in the middle of a thick block of wood!" "Why don't you just ram a chainsaw into it?" "Hmm, lemme see... tiny chainsaw, massive drill press... perfect!!!" A tool so much more dangerous than the radial arm saw that it actually comes with its own shield.
