That is outstanding. Great job, Rob.

That is a sweeeet rig! With the manual too! Awesome! Thanx EJ! :D

Just got a 1930"s Sears Companion Wood Lathe at an auction. Gonna build a bracket for it and run it off a David Bradley Walk behind and some of the shows i go to in Upper Michigan and Wisconsin. Thanks for the idea. You guys rock.

I have the model 13 with the line shaft. They are very good and heavy built lathes. We ended up hanging up the line shaft piece on the ceiling in the basement with an electric motor to drive it. Luckily mine came with the three and four jaw chuck, the original line shaft with the cone clutches, the tool steel centers and all the gears and other accessories. It was made in 1916 and was originally in a blacksmiths shop near New Hartford, Iowa. Then it sat in a barn for a decade and a guy bought it in the 1960's and used it for gunsmithing. We then bought it from him about two years ago.

I really enjoy your videos with Rob.

Growing up my dad had a lathe like that but it was friggen massive and made in the 20's in Seattle.

Damn, that lathe cool!! Thanks Roadking, shout out to Mike, you guy get it done. Big fan, Eric in Oregon

Your gonna make that guy a youtube star. He always has something interesting to show!

thanks for showing us that, some very cool stuff there.

Wow that's amazing to see Buddy.

thanks for sharing such a cool pice of history

sweet nice old lathe and having a book that old is awesome

That's really cool, thanks for showing us!

Cool looking vintage lathe and it's always nice having the manual :)

With that pedal powered one; no skipping leg days! :P

IF i had a setup like that , i would still use it today lol!!! *Love Antique Toolz!!*

Sweet setup! Neat video!

I really need to get to one of those shows! The minibike you guys built at last years was awesome!

Now that is really cool , Great share King !

Good video keep up the good work can't wait till October I will be set up to show stuff

now that the book the hit and miss the lathe all of it , is really impressive

Looks like that lathe is still ready to do work, very impressive.

Ahh, I can smell the cutting oil from here. Thanks for sharing that.

Very cool brother, And The book had some cool old tools for sure, cheers my friend

very cool. incredible respect to those who had to pedal the damn lathe all day. spoiled these days with our digital readout, cnc's, water jet machines etc

I always thought how did they do it way back in the day like T models an such thanks to you now I know take care :)

That is great....love it. To get to size just stop it and check. Problem with my job, external grinding is that you are actually grinding it off....so if you go past size.....it's scrap. Oh for 2 years I had none.....office bods thought I'd left lol. So they put others scrap in my name.

That's always cool stuff!

those dudes musta had popeye legs, bet they saved up for a motor pretty quick.

WTF is that shit ! I love them all and I'm glad you shared.

I think it's rather ironic that, despite how unsafe that machine must've been to operate, that it's still impossible to throw a key with that chuck when you turn it on. Very fascinating! I'd like to see it with the speed cranked up to see what kind of finish it's capable of.

Might be old now but it's new to me. Thanks.

I have a old Barnes lathe like that but a a bit bigger... Nice

Love to the the 'hit and miss' actually doing work!

That's so coo buddy ! That Rob is sharp ! Looks like ol Mikey should get an internship with him !

neat old piece,Rob knows his lathes like that guy knew spark plugs. guess i didnt see that when i was there on Sunday.

Thanks for sharing your old Barns. However, even in the 1890's metal cutting tooling really appreciated an occasional drink of cutting oil. In a pinch (field expedience) you could simply get some lube from your truck's dip stick. Nearly any lube is better than cutting steel DRY! ;-) Wakodahatchee Chris

Old machines are cool! :) Jack

Hello from Businki! Excellent video turned out! put a finger up # 200! and we welcome you )

In high school our shop class lathes ran motor pulley and 3" leather belts stapled at the seems

Neat old piece of equipment.

Those were the olden golden days! Those dead centers were lubed with a paste of white lead. As you can imagine, nice & toxic but you will find nothing better as a lubricant. Just don't lick your fingers! Very neat and great showpiece!

Very cool .

Hey it works !!!..It would be better than not having a lathe and being out in the middle of nowhere and needing one

Is that an old Cincinnati treadle lathe?

My Dad would put some white lead on that dead center. Thanks for the video

very cool

I want a lathe but I don't have room for the whole settup there WHEW!!!

Excellent display! What show was this?

a little resin would make it grip better ..very nice old lathe

Don’t see to many videos of these old stationery engines running while hooked up to something

Nice Vid RK. Looks like Mike is in love. I had a small cringe watching that guy flick through a 109 yr old book with them greasy hands. it will deteriorate fast if he keeps that up. cheers.

Así se hace así se hace Está muy bien Qué es restaurar acceso

Muito bom!

This is just great,...so very interesting. BUT, I have to be 'picky' here,..Rob said this Barnes manual or catalogue was 100 plus years old and an original, and he handles it with those hands, ???

Some molasses dripped on the belt stops any slippage.

*pop* whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh

Who needs a tread mill when you have a pedal powdered lathe. No wonder no one got fat back then.

Hellow... Tool machine 1890. Diameter 150 cm. Noe espic. Inglés
