MACHINE SHOP TIPS

[@thebigronster]

It's nice to see your grandson, Jordan getting his hands dirty along with you. I do wish either or both of my grandsons would show interest in my lathe/milling machine endevors. Always give him encouragment as you do and keep the videos coming, I do enjoy them. Thanks

[@FredMiller]

Love Jordan's comment of "jackpot". My 4 year old grandson says the same thing when he is pleasantly surprised with a new discovery.

[@ecrusch]

"Jackpot" ! Like hearing our buddy Jordon on the videos. A shop helper of the first order ! That old lathe fell in to the right hands. Nice find there Mr. Pete ! use it in good health.

[@BBC12oz]

I’ve been going back through some of these older videos lately, as I have acquired a little Logan model 200.I’m planning to clean up and Learn how to use. It’s missing a few things, so I’m trying to channel your scrounging ability. I even spent some time in the Grizzly store with you last night from a few years ago. I have the big catalog but never new that the store would be so great. I’m in Ohio so a road trip may be in order. I’m sure glad to have your videos to refer to as I feed my own hobby and addiction to the older tools.

[@mrpete222]

Thank you, I’m glad you like the videos

[@tylercunningham3275]

I sure hope Jordan keeps his interest in up in the machine shop, I have a feeling that it wouldn't take him long to acquire a fairly complete set of tools.

[@dayosingh]

I have been looking keenly at your videos for sometime now and I have enjoyed them all. I am not a metal man but a wood man. However, the real reason I am commenting is to let you know that you remind me a lot on the respected Jimmy Stewart. Keep up the great job and God Bless.

[@misfitsailor]

I have a 1947 Logan and love it! I would not trade it for a new "modern" one.

[@phooesnax]

Hoping the missing part for th taper turns up. Post on OWWM,org forum....somebody may either have the part you need or need that taper. Looks like a great find you have there. Your grandson is really learn from his grandfather.

[@TAWPTool]

I love the fact that your Grandson Jordon is by your side. From a few comments that he made, it's obvious that he's been hanging around Grandpa's shop for quite some time. I hope that he realizes what a lucky man he is for not only having the opportunity to spend quality time with you, but learning about tools and machines from a Master.

[@jsebastianfilms]

Mr Pete, I always wondered why you called yourself Tubalcain until I decided to look it up on the internets. I must say it was a very interesting choice to call yourself that. I like it. Kudos to you sir. I enjoy your videos keep up the good work. You could single-handily change the youth in this country to become mechanically inclined again.

[@rchopp]

Very nice thanks for sharing, I hope you enjoy using it as much as I do mine. I also have the Powerkraft/Logan lathe.

[@TheThorgoesinya]

Love your videos! I have much respect for people like you! I learn so much from your vids! Not to many people like you left in the world! Thank you

[@not2fast4u2c]

Another nice old lathe and I enjoyed the catalog pictures and looking through the boxes and seeing all the Goodies in them Your helper is learning alot about all the parts and pieces you where finding

[@cgis123]

Let the young bloke have the vice mate, He really liked it, And he would love you forever

[@shanek6582]

Jordan is paying attention to you, at 12:25 you told him to hand you the steady rest and he knew exactly what you were talking about, gives me some faith in today's youth

[@mrpete222]

Condition & the number of accessories is everything. Probably in the 800 t0 1200 range.

[@VintageMachinery]

Nice lathe. At one time I had a similar Logan 10" lathe and really liked it. Got rid of it when I found something with a quick change box on it instead of change gears - nice to see yours already has the quick change gear box! I believe that one of those levers is for the turret assembly that you could get for that lathe. There are some Logan catalogs over on the VintageMachinery,org web site that show that attachment as well as a lot more than what you have in your Wards catalog.

[@BruceBoschek]

Good fun watching you go through all the boxes. It looks like a lot of good, useable tools and parts as well as a fine machine. Congratulations.

[@AWDJRforYouTube]

As always, great video Mr. Pete. The crosslide that you displayed is what I believe I have. Yours looks like the top portion of a lever operated crosslide that was offered by Logan.

[@mrpete222]

I think we'd have a lot of fun after class--the 3 of us.

[@Dan.Whiteford]

Big boys and their toys! It looks to be in an amazing find especially with all the extra goodies you have been going through. I shall also be most interested to see it in use in the future.

[@KosmosHorology]

Hi Tubalcain, what a great find. It may be possible to put the taper turning attachment into service by disconnecting the feedscrew off your current cross-slide and attach it to that (loosen the user-side feedscrew mounting bracket maybe?). I know the taper attachments on some English lathes can be used this way. It's a bit fiddly, but definitely makes the device useable.

[@macshout6502]

I dumpster-dove a 1945-09-11 CHF about 25 years ago, which I had suspected was a Logan, and it is part for part the exact same castings as yours. This is great news as I have to find parts to recondition it. I wish the QC gearbox were still $88. You can barely get a gear for that price from Logan these days.

[@mrpete222]

Glad you Identified it

[@Worksengineer]

The chuck jaws at 13:10 are soft jaws they are used by boring out to fit the part you wish to grip, this way they run true and no damage to the all ready machined part you are gripping, they are also ideal for gripping thin parts, you bore a step in the jaws to say hold a spring retaining washer or the like. Regards, Worksengineer

[@graffix90]

That is a great buy I live in Chicago I was looking at that lathe on Craig's list but instead I listen to my wife and held off buying it for something better had regrets when it sold but am glad you got it can't wait to see it running.

[@StuHo1mez]

Hi there,At 13 mins and 20 seconds you picked out a jaw set with bigger blocks screwed to them, I'm pretty sure they're soft jaws, extremely useful!!

[@SigmazGFX]

Awsome haul! Long time viewer, first time caller. I have a '42 model 200 10" which is pretty much the exact same lathe as yours there. Every logan accessory you pulled out was added to my wish list. I have recently been looking into adapting mine to accept a qcgb but finding one with the leadscrew is probably going to be the hard part. Looking forward to your future logan work. Be well.

[@fegolem]

I've got a Moline U in operating condition, too. Nice to see another one.

[@shopdogsam]

,, in class for both part 1 and 2,,, in part #1 I saw my name on the board, and figured I would have to stay late,, and then I saw I was in Keith Fenner's group and knew all would be well,,,, thanks, sir,,

[@closeratio1971]

I enjoy your video's and would love to have much of your junk pile and larger HSS pieces will pay for shipping and such. Keep up the good work.

[@ErnieNoa3]

Looks like you had a lot of fun checking it out!

[@Blackfoxsteam]

Have you made a video on lathe collets and collet chucks for milling bits? I've been using 3-jaw chuck but you disapprove. I have inherited a 6" Atlas-Craftsman mid 50s lathe and am looking at ER20 chuck and collets. I don't know how to tell good from inferior brands.

[@outsidescrewball]

Pete, in the first video in one of the boxes you found the "key to success", please don't toss....I need that!!!!....lol

[@rockityrock]

Nice Mineapolis Moline looks like it had a hand crank at one time.

[@andregross7420]

This video was uploaded on my birthday and I'm not disappointed haha.

[@JoeBee999]

What a pity that the taper attachment is not complete. Hope you can find it or maybe build it yourself?

[@gushhnet]

If you are willing to pay for shipping and handling I'm sure some people would be compelled to ship them out instead of throwing them out. They could always leave them in a box outside and someone could pick them up... It is what it is, some of us are not lucky enough to hit the jackpot on auctions, in some places there aren't even auctions and if they are, the prices are not fair or the transportation is too costly...

[@mikimexicali]

Nice vid.. Now I'am ready to see it working I can't wait to see it

[@G3kRay]

can you make us "how to buy a used lathe" video.where do you find these what to look for things like that.

[@dheujsnrhfydhehehshshhdggsd]

I really enjoy grabbag (box) opening. Christmas morning for tool junkies!

[@Mr26Huffy]

Mr.Pete, What would be a fair ball park range to pay for an Atlas 12x42" lathe? There is one in my local Craigslist and I am wondering. Thanks.

[@wyattoneable]

I enjoyed the tour, thank you.

[@one4stevo]

Whats your method for clean up gritty tools?

[@orange12v]

would it be better to box up the ones he don't want and sell or give them to someone who don't have such a big budget or to charity ?

[@MrVince12386]

Thats the first time the old shop teacher seamed happy. His wife should let him buy a new lath every month

[@MaturePatriot]

Lots of goodies to go with the Logan.

[@rob16268]

Big score! Have a good time.

[@benpress8884]

Instead of throwing that stuff away, why not put it on eBay or Craigslist so the rest of us can get our hands on it? I'd buy up some of those high speed steel lathe tools

[@SwedesGarage]

Totally agree...............

[@browncarp]

1:39 is Mystery tool #3.

[@AmateurRedneckWorkshop]

Mr. Pete, what happened to tips #91? By the way I have so far watched all of your machine shop videos and they are spectacular. Keep up the good work.

[@2durangoman]

Thanks for sharing, and to your helper. It takes a lot more effort than to make a comment. Maybe some day I will post a video. What do you enjoy viewing? L.Hammer

[@orange12v]

why has got a big down on stuff not made in usa?

[@LarryBlowers]

by "throw that away" and "scrap pile" used extensively in part 1 made me wish you'd send it to a lucky viewer who may not have goodies ;)

[@tropifiori]

Excellent plunder

[@mrpete222]

Thanks

[@htral]

That $319 is about $2700 when you figure for inflation. A decent no-name import in the same size range is $1000, and a name brand is about the same. Made in Tie-one-on, not America.

[@jamcat62]

I won't criticize you for "tossing" worn or damaged tooling. (recycling?) But you may want to consider selling "gently used" tools (or even imported "junk") on ebay/craigslist. Some of us "cheapskates" would love to get hold of the stuff you don't think well of. (or give them away, if they'll pay the freight.) Just an idea. I've been an avid "student" of yours, since I 1st got on youtubeunivesity! :D Keep 'em coming.

[@rssllnash]

Is it rude if we ask how much you paid?

[@Mr26Huffy]

Thank you.

[@fackingpos]

The sword doesn't make the man, the man makes the sword

[@JWB671]

He has a lot of lathes but he probably plans to leave them to different people when he passes.

[@jimbailey6522]

Nice find..my first lathe was a Logan 10''..i was cleaning my shop and found something you might be interested in..its not the taper attachment , but something else you might like..Pm me and ill send it to you.

[@happymark1805]

that thing made over the pound'' looks to be a scandia, they took over eskilstuna who manufactured the best quality (wood)chisel arround the world

[@jerhalco]

Its not so much throwing tools away as how you throw everything around. I guess I never had so little respect for my tools I worked hard to pay for.

[@fall22123]

He has a cheap Chinese dial caliper that makes frequent appearances in his videos.

[@retrogamegeek1]

tubalcain, that lathe would cost you 2600 dollars today. :o

[@mbs1234567]

See ya

[@fall22123]

Dumb question time. Why do you buy so much stuff? You can't possibly have a use for all that machinery. I've lost count of how many lathes you own.

[@austin3538]

nice find you are lathe poor
