How Many Machines Can You Fit in a Garage?

[@seven6twomm]

Tony is an example of the type of old school style characters becoming much harder to find now days, those older gents who have quite a diverse mix of experience, personality, technical knowledge, passion, and a real desire to carry it on into their older years, such a treat to be invited into his workshop. Thank you

[@Adam5130A]

Nice Doubleboost mug!

[@bostedtap8399]

Spare floor area is a No No in any home workshop, it shows dust. Very nice to see Tony in his natural habitat. Thanks for sharing.

[@piast99]

The answer to a question in the title is n+1 where n is the current number of machines.

[@billdoodson4232]

My son has the same answer for tools and guitars!

[@futabadell]

Also the number of tools/machines you need.

[@stevedotrsa]

The other answer is "As many as you can you hide from your wife."

[@edpopelas2844]

Agree. I’ve only got one lathe in the garage. Everything else is just support equipment. Accessory mill, accessory second lathe.

[@homeworkshopengineering]

Haha problem solved

[@mumblbeebee6546]

Having ‘met’ some of your vic… erm, apprentices, and now Tony, it is just a reminder how much difference a good teacher makes. Love of the subject, empathy with students and a sense of humour is very useful for everyone involved. Tony comes across as a good man, as do you!

[@retromechanicalengineer]

What a sincere and likeable man. You were lucky to have such mentors. Best wishes, Dean.

[@doubleboost]

At 150 I spotted one of my Doubleboost Mugs . very nice shop . well edited video

[@MrCrispinEnterprises]

Yes Tony has it in pride of place!

[@tsheritageengineering]

Wouldn't use anything else!

[@Blondihacks]

Great tour all around, but my god that boring head trick was the worth the price of admission alone. Definitely a “why didn’t I think of that” moment. I’ll never taper turn any other way now that I’ve seen that 😄😄

[@cymaz100]

People like this should be treasured and encouraged. This is the bedrock of all manufacturing

[@steveclark..]

I totally agree but if you are aware of Klaus Schwab and co who are pushing this Great Reset agenda, sadly that's not going to happen. They say that we are entering the 4th industrial revolution, robotics and artificial intelligence will end our freedoms and choices basically. These billionaire people believe in depopulation, 15 minute cities, full control of the common citizen basically.

[@joell439]

Thanks Tony for letting all of us in and giving the tour! 👍👍😎👍👍

[@warrenjones744]

I really enjoys these little tours of your mentors shops Mr.C. It's wonderful for you to show your admiration and respect for the men who took you under their wings so to speak. Cheers.

[@HaxbyShed]

That garage looks familiar. Tony taught my son at college for a while, same sort of scheme that you mentioned, and then I met him quite by chance when I was visiting the DVLR at Murton. Now we are in touch quite often. Cheers Paul

[@andrewdolinskiatcarpathian]

In answer to your question, in my case, too many 😢 A very enjoyable tour. Thank you for taking me along. I enjoyed the trip. Great packed lunch. 👏👏👍😀

[@Al-Fiallos]

The boring head in the tailstock was genius. Mr. Tony thinks out of the box.

[@StuartsShed]

Clearly Tony is a fellow of good taste and high craftsmanship. Thanks for showing us round. 👍

[@nobbysworkshop]

Thanks for taking us along with you on this workshop visit Crispin. This is one of my favourite types of video, as I enjoy seeing other machinists workshops. Tony has a great workshop, and is obviously a very skilled engineer. Must have been a great teacher. Cheers Nobby

[@johntenhave1]

I would also add that a Good teacher is someone we never forget. I remember mine with the greatest fondness. They have realised that sharing their knowledge does not diminish them, it makes the world a better place.

[@devmeistersuperprecision4155]

Don’t forget that a good teacher never dies…. They live on thru the work and memories of their students.

[@canalboating]

Great tour and very interesting fellow, glad I made the bus.

[@paulbuckberry7683]

Thank you,always nice to have a look round other people’s workshops.

[@mceajc]

Fascinating insights, great to see the diversity of approaches - and how to deal with hiccoughs. Super workshop! Great character.

[@paulbfields8284]

On 1981 my did and I had a tool and die shop.. the main room was only 20 x 20’.. 400 sq ft. We had 3 full size Index model 55 Milling Machines, 1-9” Southbend lathe, 1- drill press, 1 vertical band saw, one 6 x 12” hand feed surface grinder, one small air compressor and three full sized oak work benches, two heat treat ovens, one small cut off saw and one set of acetylene tanks..it’s was tight but very efficient.. I served my apprenticeship there.. the best of times. Nice shop you have there

[@bh.boilers]

Excellent tour, you can tell the old teachers by the dust coat, great!! Ray.

[@aaronbuildsa]

It's always funny to hear names of places from my youth - J. Rowntree school, York 6th form college etc.. I went to Easingwold School through 6th form, but plenty of folks went off to York College. Thanks for surfacing happy memories! 👍

[@carolynbatta9525]

Lots of hard work…you guys deserve a lot of respect from us. You guys are the top of the trade! Thanks Steve

[@shawnlund]

[@russellnixon9981]

Jo to see you together and how you Mr Crispin s enthusiasm was recognised and skills passed on as I'm sure you are to the next generation.

[@jasonhull5712]

Strong English accent and a proper cap. I like this guy. Just have a little difficulty understanding what he says sometimes, but I can manage to piece it together mostly. Best wishes my friend.

[@thisissoeasy]

Thank you for this interesting excursion!

[@markrainford1219]

Had a similar relationship with my school metalwork teacher. Years later he even came to my engagement party. And you still find yourself calling them Sir.

[@tsheritageengineering]

My metalwork teacher was my best man and colleague!

[@metusa666]

Good to see the manual machines preserved and in use. I was lucky when at school we had all the experience of metalworking forging turning and milling and the amount of injury's were few and minor. When we left school we had a lot of useful skills and knowledge before going on to an apprenticeship. New cnc machinery is good for cost effective mass production but there is something satisfying about getting the job complete and right on a manual machine. Thanks for the video.

[@matts_shed]

I love these videos Crispin. This and Richard gibbons are so inspiring. Hope you find time and willing candidates to do so more. Thanks for taking the time to share. Very inspiring.

[@coplandjason]

Very interesting tour, thanks. The use of the boring head to offset the tailstock is genius, what a great idea and I'll certainly be stealing that one.

[@kevwills858]

An amazing Interview from a Student interviewing a Teacher 👍 Im glad that you pushed the old fella along and got 'your' take on how interesting Machining can be .. And what wonderful machines and uses .. I will always love the appreciation of Art and the curious minds that hopefully preserve these 'Things' forever .. Nice 🇦🇺 Ps Carl Fisher is another nice Preservist, but he's 🇺🇸

[@kevwills858]

Sorry Mr Crispin / Dean .. I mentioned Carl Fisher, but his name us actually Karl Fisher ... Just want to let you know that you are not alone for the love of metal or machining .. heres a link, but you've got to forgive this young gun 'for he is American' he cant help that, but loves the stuff that you love n represent aswell .. 👍👍 kzbin.info/www/bejne/qqbEnquDrsSjqLsfeature=shared

I wish I had that much room in my garage to get all those machines in. A great collection very envious. Nice to see the 2ins Clayton steam wagon under construction.

[@GroveDave]

I have to make do with a very modest setup by comparison.

[@MadeInGreatBritain]

[@tsheritageengineering]

It's very useful, particularly on the Tom Senior where real estate under the head is limited.

[@stevebosun7410]

Thanks Mr C, it's good to see other Engineers workshops, plus some history regarding training. It's a pity that training seems to have taken a back seat in favour of profit.

[@ronwilken5219]

Seeing Tony's Minnie, incomplete as it is, mines nearly older and more incomplete. I have the boiler shell made, the horn plates cut, the wheel rim blanks outside machined, a flywheel, cylinder and piston cast but not machined. It's now been over 44 years since my wife gave me the book and I bought a used unimat SL 1 on which I turned numerous bronze fittings for the boiler etc. Having just bought a new pm 932 mill I intend to get back to it soon.

Thank You Tony, and Thank You Crispin for the tour. The gear hobbing method I’m not familiar with, you’ve peaked my interest I’ll have to research this.

[@tsheritageengineering]

I have some video footage somewhere, I'll post it when I find it!

Thanks Cris for making the video, it was great to be able to talk to you about projects! The Rover is much further on now. Model engineering takes a back seat when the weather is good!

Thanks Tony

[@mfaulks206]

Thank you both, wonderfull, and the sort of education I would have loved to have had. I have a specific ask, where can I learn how to make the gear, or rather the method used you mention in the video (mill traverse gear)? Many thanks, Martin

[@MrCrispinEnterprises]

Have a look on the internet for a method called 'Free Hobbing'

[@mfaulks206]

@@MrCrispinEnterprises Great, thank you very much, really appreciated.

[@kcraig51]

I don't know if it's just my local area or what, but it's rare to meet an engineer that can actually machine a part. I really don't think they even touch on machine theory by the way they draw prints.

Fantastic interview, Mr.C. Tony has the PERFECT workshop - everything has its special place and purpose. The shaper was just the right size in my opinion. Very cool layout. Cheers and respect from Texas.

[@davidberlanny3308]

Very enjoyable interview, well done!! Thanks to Tony for showing us his workshop. It seems a shame that these machines arent still doing service in school. I went back to my secondary school a couple of years ago, the workshops which had a small foundry, forge and machineshop had gone. In its place was something called technology!! Our metalwork teacher was Ken Wells who designed simple steam engines for learning metalwork and published a series of books on this. Well done to you for keeping in touch with Tony. Have a great weekend!!

[@carlwilson1772]

Fantastic film and an inspiring man. I have a Harrison mill too. Mine is the horizontal with vertical head. They are, as was intimated, basically an Harrison L5 lathe stood on its end. The gearbox etc uses all the same parts. Thanks for a superb film.

[@steveallarton98]

I have a Harrison milling machine too. Mine came out of a school metalwork shop, and the technician confided in me that the brown stuff on the table and slideways was the original protective coating from the works - it had stood un-used from the day it was installed, because no-one knew how to use it !

[@learningturningmetal]

Very interesting and great to see Tony in the flesh as it were. Tony has given me some great tips and advice over recent times - most notably between centre boring. I must remember the boring head in the tailstock method too. My father was an associate member of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers and taught at evening classes at a college near Castleford. Unfortunately he passed away when I was in my teens but I think I must have a few of his engineering genes. Cheers Andrew

[@rob60]

Great videos Mr Crispin. I admire your workshop and the one in the video. I did my apprenticeship with Lucas CAV Acton in the early 80's where they had their own apprentice school with good instructors and a day release at Acton tech college. Sadly it's no longer there now. I do like your loco build project and hope to see more of that soon. I've bult a few loco's in gauge 1 but my workshop machines are just too small for anything bigger.

I like the dial gauges that include both metric and SAE increments. For the rest of us we either multiply or divide by 25.4. Of course whenever having to do a little bit of math there is always the possibility of making a mistake. DRO of course is always a nice way to be able to work and I use them.

I've seen some folks pack so many machines into a shop to the point where they hardly had enough room left to use them, or they couldn't turn around in the shop without banging into something. There's one crazy youtube guy that has beautiful machines packed in very tightly into a room and also has machine spilling out into his driveway which he's constantly having to fight the weather for. He gets a fair bit of rain, snow.. Entropy is slowly devouring the machines he keeps and uses outside. There are the collectors, and he's one of them, and then there are the people who really need and use the machines to make a living. He doesn't have the money or doesn't want to spend it to build a large shop, but he can always come up with some money to buy another machine from some salvage yard. I think for some it won't matter. No matter how big the shop, they'll always be getting more machines than will fit in such a way that working in the shop is no longer a pleasure.
