That’s David Richard’s shop.
He has at least 45 half hour videos working in steam.
I have enjoyed watching most of them.
He turns out good work the old fashioned way.
Lantern tool post and all.

 

That’s David Richard’s shop.

Nope. David's shop is in New York. This one is in Mississippi. David stays winters in Florida.

A nice blizzard, a decent internet connection, plenty of popcorn, and I'd spend all the time watching videos of steam engines.

Can you imagine working in a plant like that with all the belts slapping and machinery turning and trying to concentrate on machining a part?

In a shop like that you BETTER concentrate on turning your part, and on not getting hurt!

 

Huh, I started watching the video, it had the same music as Richards videos.
That’s what I get for assuming.

 

Yes, Abom was playing mood music suitable for the topic!

 

Great job on in keeping the ole machine shop in operation.fasinanating.
Here in RI is a pic of what happens from neglect,old mill in Westerly.,Rhode Island , Potterhill mill ,Haven't found pic's of machine shop yet.But somebody will.
