Old Steam Powered Machine Shop 76: Rebuilding a steam engine

Follow
David Richards

Video # 76 from my shop, built to depict a general 1925 "job" machine shop using steam power from a time when municipal electric power was not yet available. Most of the shop runs on steam only, supplied by a 1924 Mundey steam hoist vertical boiler and a 1902 8"x11" steam engine built by Richards Iron Works , WI. Most of the machines and leather belts are well over 100 years old. I am presently rebuilding a Liley 6x6 horizontal steam engine, paying attention to how the individual parts were originally set up and machined. Discussion, stories, questions and comments about steam power, line shaft drives and really old school machine shop work are always welcome here. Thanks for watching.....Dave
