1900s Pedal Metal Lathe [Restoration]

This restoration is on an early 1900s W.F. and John Barnes Co. No. 5 velocipede screw lathe. James from the @Wood By Wright KZfaq channel came to my shop with two of these lathes; one for me and one for him. We both absolutely love the look of this lathe and he plans on using his frequently in his workshop.
The lathes were missing many parts and James had them re-cast while I did the machining on them. The lathes were both is better than expected condition for being over 100 years old. I decided to paint mine black which was consistent with the original japanning used for a finish on this lathe. If I had sorted out my cold-cure japanning recipe, then I would have loved to do japanning on this restoration. We only had three days together, so after we put primer on the parts, James had to leave.
James kept the only 3-jaw chuck, as he plans on using the lathe on a regular basis, so I had to do some test cuts using the old drill chuck. This was a poor choice and the cut quality was horrendous. Pedalling the lathe is actually pretty fun for about 25 seconds until you start cutting and you have to start pedalling with some serious force. This lathe could easily be converted to an electric powered one and it would make a pretty nice 11" lathe.
I am not sure what to do with the lathe now as I really won't use this over my other metal lathe!
I would like to thank Evapo-Rust for sponsoring this video.

Incredible original craftsmanship on that lathe! I'm 74, and my dad and grandfather were both machinists, grand-dad being born in 1885, dad in 1906. I grew up in machine shops, watching my dad work his skills as a union machinist. I still have a complete 12" inside micrometer set, and 1" outside micrometer that he scratch fabricated for his apprenticeship! He could fabricate just about anything! I learned a lot from him!

@toddabbott781 4 жыл бұрын

You messed up assembling the chuck. You are off by a thread on one side. When you put that ring over it with the two screws in it you can see how off center it is. Just redo it until it looks centered. Also make sure everything is tightened down. That machine is a work of art. I would have gone with a light blue/gray color though and left the seat metal as you butt will wear the paint off over time anyways. Make sure he knows were all the oiling points are and that he oils it regularly, especially the one to the left of the chuck. I would oil that ever 15 minutes as that is where the most pressure will be. It looks like it was either not used much or was taken care of quite well.

@bilbo_gamers6417 2 жыл бұрын

The first machining instrument was the surface plate, and the vernier scale. You can produce a perfectly flat surface. From there, you can make ways. Gears can be made by producing a very large dividing plate and cutting the teeth by hand. Screws can be cut from a lathe, yes, but they can be cut with a threading die that you can produce much easier. The very high precision screws can be made by doing mathematical calculations about pitch over distance, and trying to make a screw very close to a mathematical model over a great length (for example, exactly 100 turns over 10 inches). From there, you can copy a screw and magnify its low precision over a large scale to a great degree of precision over a very small scale. This is how micrometers are made. From there, you have the parts to make a lathe. I recommend watching a few videos on the production of a gingery lathe for more information.

No, I think that was a total afterthought. If it's going in a drive line factory, why have the pedals in the first place? It looks to me like a small mom and pop shop lathe that somebody later ran off an electric motor. Its a direct connection rather than a drive pulley as far as I could tell.

@@The_HillPeople Actually, I was implying it started out as a foot controlled tool and then was modified for factory work later on. But HTR saved it nevertheless, so its all good... :-)

Awe Inspiring 1880's Lathe. Back then, no airplanes, no cars, no phones in most places. Order for lathe was received by either Telegraph or Pony Express Mail. Imagine the Craftsmanship it took to produce the Lathe....? Then delivered via Steam Train, and Mule powered Wooden Wagon. Great Restoration! It should be in a Trades Museum.

@Процветание и изобилие Согласен! Хоть он морально и устарел, но приделай к нему электродвигатель, вкорячь упорные подшипники в вылы продольки, пеперечки, но на нём можно будет выполнять в гараже некоторые токарные операции. А так... этот станок просто раритет, ценен своим возрастом и комплектностью с сохранностью. По моему, грамотно продав его, можно купить неплохой, настольный токарный станок...

Thanks for showing this video. I have the identical lathe minus the treadle and have tried for years to get info on it. Was handed down from grandfather to father to me. It has a brass mfg. label Harper and Reynolds on the headztock casting. Definitely bookmarking this video. Best Regards. Mjm

Backwards pedal easier on legs and keeps you in seat while using your hands, still very tough and funny to watch, holy moly how you can turn something old into new and give descriptive info and history behind the restore, not only informative, but the the projects you choose to work on show a good portion on how the industrial revolution started and how far we have come today! Great work and hope to purchase a wrench or two. Also the apple peal thing is a great example, the machines today I have never seen but I bet they are just as obnoxious and I would never remember how to put it back together.

@ronitsingh85 Жыл бұрын

man things were very well made in the day, this lathe is basically a very early version of lathes in general and it feels like it will hardly get worn out! Just found the legs for this machine at a local estate sale. Just the legs, will use them on a south bend 9" lathe that is soon to be acquired.
