New Machine Shop Tour 2022

Come see our milling machines, grinders, our epic loft, and our awesome lathes - which you may recognize from our popular lathe restoration video. We finally outgrew our old custom garage setup, which means more room for tools - so come walk through the new shop with us!

Awesome new space.... Can't wait to see things come together. I'm with you... I love the old machines.

[@VanoverMachineAndRepair]

They are where it is at

[@rodneykiemele4721]

Love your channel. Huge difference from old shop,thanks for showing.

[@VanoverMachineAndRepair]

Absolutely thanks for watching. We are very blessed

[@TopperMachineLLC]

Nice new shop. A lot more room to move and work. Glad it's coming together for you.

[@VanoverMachineAndRepair]

Thanks Josh. Coming together…. It’s funny I got 4 new big machines since I filmed this in December. I’ll be slowing down on machines though. Minus a large lathe I am pretty set on machinery.

[@DanielPierce]

Everybody has a sure shot now, so cool!

[@VanoverMachineAndRepair]

Yeah true mine is new to me and I like it

[@supergarball]

Wow, what a huge jump from your old shop! Talk about doing it tight, love it. I’d like to touch base with you in a couple months regarding my Colchester that I’m restoring and copying everything you’ve done shamelessly, including colour. Congratulations and don’t run yourself down. Excited to see your channel grow.

[@VanoverMachineAndRepair]

Absolutely.

[@dermotkelly2971]

Great video of your shop. Keep up the good work. I knew a guy who chose his 2 lathes and 3 mills but he had to send them away to get them refurbished because he was so busy with repair jobs.

[@VanoverMachineAndRepair]

Yeah one day it will happen

[@codprawn]

You could use the pallet racking to act as a hoist for lifting stuff on and off the lathe - great for changing heavy chucks etc!

[@VanoverMachineAndRepair]

Yeah I could

[@BladesIIB]

Great looking space. I am still working out of a one bay garage shop. I miss the days of being in a full blown shop like yours.

[@VanoverMachineAndRepair]

Thanks. Also I been watching some of your videos. Nice work. I like what your doing over there

[@cowdogg3085]

I want that blue Cole Chester 💙, that thing is sweet!

[@VanoverMachineAndRepair]

Thank you

[@roadshowautosports]

Hey brother, this is an advice and not criticism. It doesn’t bother me but since I have the same problem and someone called me out on it, I’ve been way more vigilant to avoid it. I’m talking about repeating same words, jargons, and details about your focus. I’ve noticed you have repeated some descriptions and explanations. Some viewers may get annoyed and stop watching your great videos. I came to meet you through your restoration videos! You do such a wonderful work and such a humble professional. Your level and skills are really impressive and I hope all these expansions you’re doing are fruit of your success!!! Keep up the good work and we will be here to watch you do your thing! Thank you!

Thanks

[@oldstudbuck3583]

I have the 211 auto set since 2014. It’s fine for hobby welding.

[@VanoverMachineAndRepair]

Great welder they are tanks

[@phillhuddleston9445]

Impressive especially for your age, I would have loved that shop at your age. I'm jealous of your American lathe, not much you can't do with that lathe.

[@VanoverMachineAndRepair]

Thank you I appreciate it

[@darrenward7355]

Great shop set up. Looks very functional with good organization and good use of space. Love the machinery. I am totally at ah over the Colchester lathe. Please, if you ever decide to sell that machine i would like to discuss with you. Nice work sir.

[@VanoverMachineAndRepair]

Thank you. I will keep that in mind

[@anmafab]

The new shop must feel so damn good after working in your garage space. Great tour and loved seeing what you've built. What do you guys produce as a company?

[@VanoverMachineAndRepair]

It does. Mostly custom fabrication and job job machining. It’s more fabrication now but I hope the machining grows

[@bionict-rex4326]

Those old barrel roofs are always cool looking when exposed.

[@VanoverMachineAndRepair]

Yeah I agree

[@19672701]

Definitely like to see the arbor press build!

[@VanoverMachineAndRepair]

It’s coming

[@VanoverMachineAndRepair]

Literally 90% done video to come soon

[@19672701]

@@VanoverMachineAndRepair awesome ,I like your attention to detail.

[@johnkoury1116]

Wow!! Incredible.I am building a machine shop for my small engine repair shop that runs on steam or hot air and a system of belts. I have a decent collection of 1800's lathes and Camelback presses. I want it to run on sawdust and waste oil, with a system of belts that run an electrical generator as well.

[@VanoverMachineAndRepair]

That sounds cool

[@dizzolve]

24:00 you should put one of those Snap on rollers next to the American lathe

[@VanoverMachineAndRepair]

Good call

[@diamondpressco2673]

why does this have a grow room feeling lol

[@VanoverMachineAndRepair]

The colors

[@Mr2Xri]

Hi, I wish you all the best in your new shop... I am sure that you will do amazing things! One question... the Greek phrase on the wood lathe "Δάσος το κριάρι" was written by your co-worker Tim... is he from Greece?

[@VanoverMachineAndRepair]

Thanks. He is Greek. He grew up here not sure about his parents.

[@millomweb]

13:55-ish what's with the remote control blocking the vents on the back of the chop saw motor ?

[@VanoverMachineAndRepair]

It’s a led remote for the led light I added to the saw. I have it temporarily mounted there

[@SergeiPetrov]

You urgently need a grinding dust protection system in your workshop.

[@VanoverMachineAndRepair]

Indeed

[@joell439]

👍😎👍

[@VanoverMachineAndRepair]

Thank you

[@DogByte2012]

Nice shop and great video. As a newbie, I was wondering where you get your raw stock metal from? In my area, I have only found metal at big box stores like "Home Depot" and the selection is minimal.

[@allenklingsporn6993]

You need to find a steel supplier. Most of them are dedicated shops that cut down much larger pieces to size. Some might also supply structural steel, and some might be more specialized (tubing only, etc.).

[@allenklingsporn6993]

You can also order online, but shipping will be a factor.

[@VanoverMachineAndRepair]

Metal supply store are also probably in your area. Also some places have metal scrap yards that sell scrap.

[@rustyshackleford928]

I love that Blue Colchester. Please tell the camera person to film what you are talking about. Not you. Great shop man.. I wish the best for you! Oh and 80's isn't old damnit..

[@VanoverMachineAndRepair]

Lol

[@artszabo1015]

Looks like a great place to work, how big is it? Art from Ohio

[@VanoverMachineAndRepair]

The building is 10,000 ft.² the part I rent is about 2500.

[@markmywords5126]

Nice shop! I’m going through the same thing. Just built a new shop and also bit of an auction junky. What is the square footage of your shop?

[@VanoverMachineAndRepair]

2000sq feet. I get it lol

[@aaronbuildsa]

@@VanoverMachineAndRepair It looks so much larger than that in the video! Half that (about 1000sq ft floor space) would be about $1400/month where I live, 2000sq ft would be a price bracket up, maybe $3-4000/mo.. but it's the dream :)

[@VanoverMachineAndRepair]

@@aaronbuildsa yeah I get it. I was not going to move but this came up cheap. Might be closer to 2400sq feet. We pay 1400$ but the area is not a good one

[@GnosisMan50]

there is a difference between what you want and what you need...do you lean on the former? just asking.

[@VanoverMachineAndRepair]

That’s a really vague question

[@piteralvarado1028]

Amigo espero que puedas traducir los vídeos en español para saber lo que dice

[@VanoverMachineAndRepair]

Sorry man

[@ericsills5290]

I'd like to have that bandsaw. What state are you in?

[@VanoverMachineAndRepair]

Chicago. Old bandsaw is gone already

[@johnoler357]

What exactly do you do for a living? Are you a machinist or an automobile mechanic?

[@VanoverMachineAndRepair]

Fabrication and machining. Still do cars here and there

[@dog2bert]

Which video had the Lista restoration?

[@VanoverMachineAndRepair]

No video sorry

[@justinh1245]

Where are you located, I'd really like to buy that doAll bandsaw.

[@VanoverMachineAndRepair]

Old one is already sold

[@VanoverMachineAndRepair]

I have a new one for sale though

[@VanoverMachineAndRepair]

Chicago

[@JaapGrootveld]

Nice shop, but you must do something about the dust. It makes everything shabby, and destroys your lungs. The dust in your blood also makes you tired. Do local extraction, general extraction, Filters, extraction on machines. Separated areas, Small items in cupboards, etc. Then you also have a chance that you can attract intelligent staff. It will make your life so much better. Especially in the future.

[@VanoverMachineAndRepair]

Thanks

[@jackwt7340]

Taylor Swift's brother, definitely

[@VanoverMachineAndRepair]

Lol

[@dean3919]

who grinds v ways anymore ? id like to redo my southbend

[@VanoverMachineAndRepair]

Agreed

[@callumwoodman]

Great video but Jesus wept the camera work is bad.

[@VanoverMachineAndRepair]

Lol

[@LanceMcGrew]

Problem with shop projects is there's never enough time and no income while doing.

[@VanoverMachineAndRepair]

I agree

[@G14RXE]

Camera man’s abit slow

[@VanoverMachineAndRepair]

Thanks

[@paulrash2886]

That American is heavy iron at it's best. You damn near cant stall em and they will last 5 lifetimes if treated right. Jealous

[@VanoverMachineAndRepair]

I love that American. A great machine indeed

[@daveczzy6749]

You see your shop as well organized, I've worked to many machine shops and would consider your shop as sloppy, disorganized and dirty.

[@VanoverMachineAndRepair]

Lol guess it’s a matter of opinion. I am sure if you work in aero space or CnC shops. Most manual machine shops are way worse. Most machines are neglected and lighting is poor. That’s the norm where I am. I am sure with high budgets everything you own can be in Lista cabinets and your floors can be polished but that’s not the reality for a smal business, especially one that is going on it’s second year in business.
