I have bought two machining centers from Neosho Industrial supply. They are good people to deal with.

I’m a woodturner, but I’ve learned so many techniques from your precision work that often isn’t necessary or possible in working with wood. Thank you for taking the time to share your skills and outstanding work.

I am 54 now, and when i was in my late teens my first "factory job" was working in a machine shop and was fortunate enough to actually use many of the machines in this video it really takes me back i learned ALOT working that job.Learned to read a tape,read calipers and mic's.Learned precision is very important. Thanks for taking me back to a better time.

Those machines and the men who ran them built America. Awesome.

That was pretty awesome. Completely blown away that my own country (Canada) did anything other than lumber, mining and fishing. Made in Canada..?? Who knew!!! Big thanks to Patrick Dwyer for taking the time time to show us around. Well made and maintained machines can last generations.

This guys knowledge and passion for these old beasties is something to behold!

The floor of my shop was creaking pretty bad getting a bridgeport in it. Had to reinforce the floor and add additional joists. Most of that stuff would go straight through the floor. That's a lot of pretty iron. Thanks for the tour.

At first, I was a little confused as to why Patrick was going so fast through the tools. And then I understood.

Cannot stop drooling as I watch this!

Thank you Patrick and Adam for showing us some really great machines under roof. Peace

Like a walk through paradise..I really love those Johansson machines with the swivel and the bed on one side and a table on the other. Been a long time since i saw one of those. Lots of quality machines and most seem to be in decend shape, or what you might expect after all that time.

I'm sitting here at the kitchen table and had to go get a towel to soak up the drool, a lot of nice equipment.

A note to Patrick Dwyer . . . Patrick, You should hire a kid with a bit of video production exp. and start your own KZfaq channel. I'm serious, it would be a great way to advertise. Lots of folks watching Adam and Tony who would love to find a nice lathe or mill. Cheers!

Adam, Thanks for showing us this. The swedish milling machine is an Abene, most probably model VHF3. It is a very suitable machine for a hobbyist who wants a little bit more power and does not want to waste a lot of precious space for that. There are some machinists who are seeking of those. I am sure it will be gone in no time once they see the machine. I had one of those in my shopping list but unfortunately they are really expensive here in Scandinavia. So I settled with a swiss Schaublin SV-51.

This guy is in serious need of a bridge crane. Cool shop. Now we know were all the mills are. :D

That guy is like a rainman of old iron. Holy-o-frig! I could listen to him detail that stuff all day long!

Adam, thanks to you. After watching this video I contacted Patrick about the green Lodge and Shipley seen in the video and it is being delivered this week. Patrick was helpful, and sent detailed video of the lathe in question. So now I have one of the machine tool greats! Thanks again.

WOW!!!! You looked like a kid in a candy store. Thanks for sharing. I owned one of those Southbend 10K lathes and it was like brand new. Trouble was the spindle hole was VERY small. I also have a Hardnige Chucker that is in perfect shape. I installed a DRO on it. Talk about precision you can turn that baby 3000 RPM and it is smooth as silk.

That's a man that knows his iron. Thanks for the tour!

So close to Springfield. They have grizzly.com. it's a lot of off shore but a lot of South bend. Its a Walmart of machine tooling. This guy would know Wally Holloway from Springfield. He was old machine dealer. Neosho had the famous "fly by music store".

I liked those big K&T's the best.

I always wanted to be a machinist. I ended up becoming an engineer but i'm pretty sure that my heart was made in a machine shop. This channel is inspiring and good for young tradesman or would be apprentices. If it was around during my formative years I just may have gone into the trades. This is video is informative, as I am looking around for a lathe to be able to do small projects and teach myself this art.

I got some into this video i forgot to press like. So i whet back and did it again.

abene mill the Swede machine is a home shop dream 5hp horizontal or vertical way oil system either 12 speed xyz feeds or infinite with a gear drive head. And it has hard set tram for 90 and 45 with the head to table. Really cool machine.

love that old iron just purchased a Heald horz. mill with a tree vert. head, cleaning it up and new wiring for 3 phase thanks for sharing

I have died and gone to heaven can’t imagine how you felt hoss

Patrick is a great fella and a wealth of knowledge. Lots of great tools there.

Wow! Loved the old machines. I Seen very few things that I didn't want. 😃

I now own three of those machines in this video two monarchs and an okk

Since Ken Dwyer brought up Pratt & Whitney, back in the mid 90's I was at the Pratt factory in East Hartford Ct working on a project. There were a few buildings, maybe 600 feet long and 300 feet wide, stuffed to the gills with Pratt & Whitney build mills, shapers, lathes and broaches that were being sold off for scrap. Watching the fork truck drivers goring the machines and dropping them into metal dumpsters to be crushed then sent to China was hard to watch. The metal dealer wasn't interested in selling any of the machines, only scrap metal value. My old company decided that running it's own machine shop was too costly, so the huge vertical lathe, 150 foot table Milicron, Giddings and Lewis horizontal mills were all sold off to the local machine tool thief of pennies on the dollar and in some cases, just given away provided it was removed for free. The prototype lab still had some Monarch lathes, one which was sent for a complete rebuild, and became the most unreliable lathe in the shop. The only machines kept were a few Bridgeport mills and the newest CNC mills.

That was really cool of you Adam! That was really neat to see all the fun toys you had hanging around there. I could tell he’s really passionate about all the machines. I couldn’t believe he could give the specs on most of the machines right off the top of his head, that’s incredible!

Holy Wow! What a collection...... My jaw just kept dropping...

Thanks for this video Adam. You were not too far north of me when you stopped in Neosho. I had no idea this place existed or was this close by. I may have to stop by & check it out next time I'm up that direction. Lot's of neat stuff. I'd love to have one of those Monarch, etc lathes or a K&T mill, but no 3 phase where I live & not practical for a home shop & an old man. So I now live thru you, your work & your adventures ! Thanks for all you do & share with us viewers ! By the way, there used to be (abt 15 years ago) a big machinery dealer like this up in WI near Racine rt off I-41. Don't know if it's still there but might be worth looking into in your travels or for the big lathe you want for your home shop expansion.

Wow. Just wow. Maybe this could be a whole separate KZfaq channel for you. Going around showing off places like this. Great video. Thanks

I am eating up this video, BUT, the lack of light only gives a shadowed view of this machinery collection, great stuff

Wow I’ve never seen so many monarchs and big iron in one place that was awesome just blown away and the history lessons thank you Adam for sharing with us.

That lil metric lathe... man I wish I could have that in my shed. Ideal size for me. What a fantastic collection of machines in general. Such a departure from todays "disposable" culture. I hope all those machines land in the laps of people who can use and appreciate them, and pass them on past their own demise.

Love the Köping S12 26:40, Got a Köping S10 1950 myself, built like tanks. And not Swiss made Swedish made ;)

Yupp I sure see a few items id love to own. The Swiss mill, the Johansson super mill. The monarch 14ck lathe. Just a big dream but wow.

adam, as a neophyte i assumed new was good. my JET lathe has not worked in 4 years. there were at least 20 there that would be twice that chuck of iron. my mill is great. thanks for your vid.

You dang near killed me Adam! I am drowning in my own drool! Great video. I'd love to see more like it with machinery dealers. One thing I would wish was some kind of a ball park price on the machines just so I would know where my reality ends and dreaming begins. As you are shopping for new tools for the shop be sure to video the places you go as this is really interesting and even more so as I would like to find a good condition Bridgeport style so my adrenaline level goes up when I scent one. Take care. Doug

Startrite make some great bandsaws, good to see one all the way out there! Lots of nice machines to look at, thanks for the video.

Very nice video great inventory. Thanks for sharing.

As TS Gordon approaches the Gulf coast I want to wish as well as all the other viewers of Adam's channel the best of luck during this storm.

This guy is the Jay Leno of machine tools. Is there a car Jay does not like ? Is there a machine tool this guy does not have good words about ? More tired iron in one place than most can imagine. A very good thing it is a long long way from where I live. Oh,man. He made a joke about the carrying capacity of Adam's car. Yeah well. My old pickup,same problem,different cubic.

Thhis makes me really miss my days of used machinery buying. I'll have to change that. With the advent of the internet I can do this from afar. I can't wait. That was a hell of a lot of machinery.

I learned on a Cincinnati lathe just like the one at 10.00. Fantastic machinery.

That was a great tour, enjoyed it heaps. These machines are not only heavy duty but have build quality and innovation. Thumbs up!!

Hahahahaha that's the right playground for Adam ! Nice video !

Found my place to go xmas shopping.....

Great video man, I've got a A model monarch lathe lot 74 n 03. I think it's early 1900s need to sale to fix all my eather machines, got Camelback 1898 drill press, pratt&whitney lathe. Love your tours of old shops.

Hi adam. My name is juan, i'm from Mexico San Luis Potosi. I am your follower since you started to publish your videos. I congratulate you for your excellent work. you're the best. Sorry my english is not very good.

I think my father got our model 1922 Logan lathe from him... I used to work down in Joplin right near Neosho

Ahh man! Wish I’d known you were here! I’m from neosho! I live in joplin, but I still work in neosho!

I don't know what any of that stuff is... And when i watch your videos you may as well be speaking Chinese... To this IT guy.... But I love to watch you work.... *FASCINATING* ..... Thanks I know it takes a tremendous amount of work to shoot and edit these videos...

I can hardly find drill bits where I live. nice tour

never seen so much machines in all my life

Couple machines there I wouldn't mind having!! Thanks for the tour. Razor!

Never seen anything like this GOLD

That was very cool, thanks for sharing Adam

I sure would love to have that 10k south bend .. What a great place , ENJOYED !!

Wow i hope there´s a motel acros the street. Because i could spend a week in those warehouse, its an machinist amusement park . And i have to visit the states someday , it Just amazing. Grrzz from the Netherlands Johny geerts

Grab the Roll In Saw and one of those surface grinders!

I recognized some of the older machines from my Boeing days. The series II Bridgeports and the Cinn. mills. We had several of each. I also saw the Bridgeport true trace machines. I used to run those. We had parts that called for "true radius" and you could only get it with the tracer machine. I wonder if he has a good BP series one complete head. Mine is a little tired....... Thanks for the tour!

The Swedish Abene mill is one very fine maschine. Live fairly close where the still is up and running. Swiss lathe. I belive is a Swedish Köping. Will run forever. Cool to see all the equipment! Cincinnati is very high regarded here in Sweden.

That was amazing! THANKS ADAM

That tour was good .All kinda chip making candy in one place lol

Hi Adam nice to see a Kopings lathe in the mix thanks for the video keep them coming

Wow what an assortment of amazing quality machines, a very enjoyable tour.

holy moly what a collection. amazing video thank you :D

I had a 12" lathe in the 70s and I always kept the ways oiled and I never sat anything on the ways and I kept it clean of chips when I wasn't using it... but then I see some of these shops and suppliers and it doesn't look like they're always treating these machines all that well. (I'm not saying that's the case here, just speaking in general.)

brilliant :) The 'chicken screw' info was eye opening :D

So many wants but not enough cash. Nice tour, Thanks

Thanks Abom, this was such a joy to watch. Better than Christmas for a kid.

Wow! You went to heaven and had to leave !

the buffalo drill press you stopped at, i just bought one at an estate auction for $200. i love it. it's a beast!!

Dang that place is like 30 minutes from me. I will have to make a visit.

I see a lot of cool smaller lathes that you guys passed right over. I would like to see you talk more about the smaller machines.

Some really sweet machines that will only become harder to find as time goes by.

Abene ! Best of two worlds with the sliding way. But always try to find one with a quill.

Pretty sure I ran the blue do all bandsaw. In Joplin Missouri

So the heaven is in America, and it’s full with beautiful machines? Time to fill a Visa request form:)

Aladdin's cave for sure.

Great shop tour Adam

That's only 4-1/4 hours from me in St. Louis! Might have to browse.......and spend money!

Here I am, got tons of stuff to do...and I can't turn this off!!!

OH MY GOSH! My favorite video ever. It is like a zoo... but for middle aged guys!

so cool. thanks for sharing such a rare look

The "Swiss" machine is actually Swedish. Some nice machines there!

Always love a machine shop tour!

Wow, holy moly,.... what a collection..... (to bad the light was a bit down).

Nice tour.

For Machinist... Like heaven on Earth😋 great stuff 🍺

hi adam! i was just remembering stella and showed her to my wife and two days later destiny sent us a boxer pup!

Man, that was great. I'm salivating.

Santa's Workshop!

It’s amazing how these guys think so highly of these old machines. Understandably so, and it’s unfortunate that we don’t make them like we used to. Practically all the machines made today are Chinese

Man all I have to do is hit the lottery! Love watching you have so much fun!

very good tour abom thanks for your time

That little standard modern (the first lathe) looks interesting. I do a lot of metric at work, and I wouldn't mind having a little lathe at home to do personal projects with (many of which would be metric; custom bicycle parts, etc.). Doubt I could make the wife agree to it though.
