Larry,

Been following your machine shop build, aslo Dave's machine shop build.

Have you ever watched this guys video's? I think he has a residence here in the middle of New York state somewhere. He goes to Florida in the winter. he hasn't posted in over a year. makes mewonder if he is still around. His workshop is totaly steam powered with overhead belt system. Might be of interest to you and Dave. Probably a little late in posting this since both of you are almost done with your projects.

Here's the link to his U-tube videos: David Richards

Ya, but think of all the interesting things you'll learn that you never knew about. It'll give you a look at turn of the century small machine shop work and help setup your next machine build with all that information.

A scotch on ice should help while watching.  ;)

Ugh, I would never put good Scotch on ice.   >:(  

But I have learned some interesting things watching machine shop videos, about how to think about projects and how to set up work (machine or manual.)

@ Larry,

You're welcome. I figure it's hard to set up a shop like your're building if you lack knowledge of excatly what goes on inside and how it's setup.

@ Dave,

I don't drink Sctoch so wouldn't know. I do drink some brandy though and no ice.  ;)

Seeing both you and Larry building a shop and some of the struggels in belt placement and machine placement I figured this would be the best video to watch since in a few of his videos he shows how everyhting is setup and why.

Now enjoy your scotch tall and watch the videos.  ;)  ;D

Larry, the boiler does look like it's been sitting outside for a while.
Nice weathering.

Rick thank you.

Anything to help understand what's involved in a subject that I am familiar with. If it helps great, if not, nothing lost.

Glad you liked it.
