[@jimfrench8105]

As always, brilliant film! Amazed at the accuracy of your skill on the power hammer.... 👍👍👍 Jim.

I find the accuracy of your"primitive" machines astounding. Thank you for sharing and God Bless to all.

The vise clamped to the rim of the wheel reminded me of an old time millwright I worked with years ago. He was fitting a v belt belt pulley to the shaft on a blower that was a good 20' above the floor. It would have been a big job to remove the blower and get it down to the work bench, so he took a small vise up the ladder and secured it to a nearby I-beam. He told me if he hadn't done that it would have required at least 40 trips up and down the ladder and would have resulted in either early retirement or death from a heart attack. Nice video and I enjoyed the voice over narration of the job.

These lineshaft videos are very useful for those of us contemplating our first attempt. Thanks for your work.

Nice job! Your Denbigh mill must be nice and tight, it seemed to cope OK with climb milling that feather key.

*NGL - THAT WAS A BIGGER* ball ach than I expected it to be

Working up off the floor is never easy. Having the vice up there with you was smart. I’m looking forward to seeing that wheel spinning same as you I bet . thanks

[@hansschmidt1961]

This is the way. So many modern shops lack a forge and miss the advantages...more flexibility with material you can start with, stronger material, quick near-net shape parts wasting less material, less work for the machine tools. That little vise clamped to the wheel came in handy. Also, I did not know that your 1910 Denbigh had a vertical attachment. When did Universal machines first come in to being?

Well done , nice job , good idea having the vice up there with you . Those feather keys , are sometimes known as “ French “ keys , thank you .

[@everestyeti]

Your film popped up and I just had to stop what I was doing, it would have taken me a lifetime to get the key that flat. Can we visit your workshop? 👍

[@carltonlane8931]

Enjoyed the video.thanks.

[@leerogers6423]

I've never given those old style keys a thought , could be a useful dodge if you don't have the kit to cut a keyway.

[@GoCreatehms]

Nice bit of fitting work old style, great video!

Very Nice ... Fair Play Chap ... peace

Still got my curved drift for extracting gib head keys, don't think it's been used for it's true purpose since I worked in a textile mill in the early 90's, but does get used occasionally for "easing" various items !

[@graedonmunro1793]

good vid,, love the vice mount, is this another workshop??? cheers👍👍👍👍👍

[@Apocnow420]

How old is that hammer you use? It looks like it has some stories it could tell.
