It's worth whatever it costs to move it so tommorows youth my learn about the brilliance and enginuity of those who have gone before ,to make America what it used to be once.A great country filled with honest hard working people

Thank you for this video, it's great to see these wonderful old machines running instead of getting sent to scrap!

Great, appreciate as I started in a shop that had a line shaft. First job in the morning was to oil the line shaft. Gradually converted all the machines. And would you believe, never took a picture. Sebewaing tool and engineering.

I love the Video of the machine's , I still run my shop with machine like them, but with Elect. I have a power hacksaw just like that one in the Video. I got my saw out of a junk yard for $6.00 & took of the flat belt pulley and put a V belt & elect. motor on it. My 20" lathe still has a flat belt drive, gear Box & Elect. motor. I would clean up the shop a little bit , paint the outside and leave it right there.

My Dad (mechanical engineer, but hands on engineer,) worked at a shop (sheet metal) that still ran the overhead belt system into the 70's, and did quite a bit of work for jet planes. Since they did most their prototype work there, the beefier machines was the favorite of the guys who did the work. The rare Titanium for some projects was processed there.

The building itself is as much a treasure as the contents. Either move the building and contents or leave it where it is . It would be a crime to separate the two

thanks for putting this up

What a great find. I hope to see it when they get it moved.

you dońt move Stonehenge to a museum. and I dońt think you should move that shop eather ...leave it as it is .And get some skilld machinists to run it ,maby on a KZfaq channel.

Very cool. For being a group of "Experts" they sure didn't oil anything very well.

The enjoyment of watching all this marvelous old machinery was greatly improved once I turned the sound off. Calliope music lasting more then 3 minutes is cruel and unusual.

John Hartford he was a genius - ATB

I used to work in a paper mill that had three paper machines that were driven by steam power line shafts. I remember shift the belts to change dryer speeds. Two machines were totally driven by just one steam turbine each with the third one having supplemental electric drives to aid the primary 1500 hp steam turbine.

Beautiful history but just one thing why don't they just leave it in its original building instead of moving it all to another building and make the building itself a museum

Might be great video, the "music" sound track got old fast.

why is the audio all wierd

Dont move anything ..that building location is just as important.

If you need any help with this look up Dave Richards on youtube. he runs an old steam powered machine shop for a living.

Worthwhile project. Seriously doubt the engine cylinder goes up and down. Maybe the piston ?
