I began taking Industrial Arts classes in 7th grade in 1964. At that time they were mandatory for boys but when we got to HS, they were co-ed. Even at that early level, there were plenty of ways to be seriously hurt by a variety of dangerous equipment. Our teachers were understandably very strict when it came to safety. You did something unsafe and you spent the entire period sitting on your bench. At the time none of us realized what a huge responsibility those teachers had. We learned positive lessons and skills that have been with us our entire lives. In my view, the abandonment of those programs have done much harm to generations who never got experience it. To this day, I can remember the names of every one of my shop teachers. The same cannot be said for my other teachers🤔 I'm grateful for their passion (and patience) as for me it was truly a lifelong gift. Mr Pete, I fully understand why you bought those planes👍

Sir, Im a semi-retired welder and was instilled with an addiction and 'love of tools' at a very young age by my wonderful father ! He was a great mechanic, equipment operator and in general one of the most productive innovative men Ive ever known! I just wanted to let you know how much myself and others enjoy your efforts on youtube , and I know that you and I share the natural love of working, producing and actually creating something , rather than destroying things ! I really pity anyone that has not experienced the complete satisfaction of creating , building, or restoring something ! Thanks

Lyle - Had to smile at your comment about the shop teacher not taking care of the machine. I'm from a small town like you. In junior high in the early 60s I had a great shop teacher in 7th and 8th grade who took excellent care of things. In 1970 he became my brother in law (one of 7 brothers) when I married the kid sister; we were in the same class in school. He later helped me build our house. It was a shame to watch the support of programs such as he and you taught go by the boards. I went on to become a mechanical engineer, but got the love of working with wood and metal back in junior high. I'm glad I acquired at auction two of the machines he bought when the new high school went up in 1967, after I was gone - they are in use in my retirement shop. One is a 12 inch sander - but a Powermatic. Many of us owe guys like you and him thanks for what you taught us way back when. And appreciate what I still learn from watching your flicks.

It makes me sad that schools have discontinued shop classes. I learned a lot in junior high shop classes: leather, plastic, wood, metal (sheet metal and basic blacksmithing), and mechanical drawing. I did continue wood shop for a semester in high school but I was college bound so most of my classes were academic in nature. I switched to photography in 10th grade and since I had extra electives, graphic arts in junior and senior year. Graphic arts was basically printing-we learned everything from design to layout, to typesetting/plate making, to setting up and operating lithographic and platen presses. We even did multiple colors. I learned a lot in all those shop classes that I used both in college and in life-especially since one of my hobbies is woodworking.

They were one of the few small reciprocating pumps that I know of that have an oil pump. (There are many that know a great more than I do, so tell us if there are others.) The unloader on the Quincy will not release until oil pressure has been established. Like everything else, now part of a conglomerate, I think "offshore".

I've got the same Rockwell 12" disk sander. Model 31-122 with the open stand. It has a 1 HP Rockwell motor, marked 14 A on the plate and has a reverse switch. A beast of a sander. Makes short work of cleaning up bandsaw cut marks on aluminum and quickly squaring cutoff pieces using the miter gauge. I placed a small shop-vac in the open stand beneath the sander and hooked it to the dust port. It completely captures all the dust. I use the sander all the time. It's a very useful tool for quick deburring of straight cuts in steel, aluminum and brass. And it's a GREAT pencil sharpener! Bearings on mine are noisy, too, just like yours. I intend to replace them one of these days, but the disk spins smoothly, so for now I can live with the noise.

I love the thing but would have been bidding against you on this one and probably taken it all the way to $400.00. I think I paid close to that much for the one I have. While in the Air Force in the late 1960's I would occasionally get to the hobby shop on base to work on some projects and they had a 24" disc sander that could reduce a piece of stock to dust in seconds! I always wanted that machine as well but there is no way a man and his wife could have loaded that huge machine on a trailer, grin.... Love these auction videos.

Love those big disk sanders for pattern making and other precise shaping. Mine's a 20" State, 3 ph, either 2 or 3 hp, forgot which. Recently installed a VFD, there are other ways to get good 3 ph, but the Chinese VFD's are so cheap, and puzzling out the parameters, gives your brain, if not your blood pressure, a little exercise. I bought it used ca. 1995 (no idea how old it is, no motor plate either) for about $250, check out what they go for on Ebay now, a little retirement security. Originally I used it for a bit of pattern making and boat carpentry, now it sits in my shop as much to shape steel and aluminum as wood. I love getting stuff for free, or at least the illusion of free, when I turn it off it spins for a good half hour and you can still cut stuff for much of that time. That reddish glue on the table is probably resorcinol, tsk, tsk.

I made a 9" disc sander many years ago and used it a lot back then. But the time and fuss required to change discs discouraged me once I got a belt sander/grinder. It will be interesting to see which way you go with new discs. Will you choose a "general purpose" grit so you don't have to change the disc with every new job? Will you go with sticky-back discs or will you use plain discs with separate (contact?) adhesive? I started with contact adhesive, but even on my 9" machine, it takes a good 5 minutes to get the old glue off. I know you said that you'd use it for wooden pattern making, but I will bet that it gets used for some metalwork, too.

Funny, turns out taxes actually pay for things you want sometimes... I encourage voting for higher funding for your local schools. Im always happy to chip in for the community and the future. Keep civics, shop classes and home econ alive!

I can only hope that with the "maker" movement this trend might start to reverse, and schools might start buying tools again instead of selling them. The downward trend had already started in the 80s, when I took shop classes. These great machines were still in the classroom back then, but we weren't allowed to use them. We made very, very simple projects with hand tools, and the shop teachers used the good equipment after hours to make their own projects. We'd see some of them in the making and go "ooh" and "ahhhh," but we couldn't touch the tools required to make them. I blame lawyers.

Dang. I went to one looking at a drill press that was only half that nice and it went for almost as much!

Horrible Freight has the 12" discs for that sander. I use them on mine with good results.
