That sigh of resignation when the key fell to the floor--I felt that...

Thanks a lot. Another great example of traditional engineering.

NGL - THAT WAS A BIGGER ball ach than I expected it to be

I very much enjoyed the video. I was taught blacksmithing, welding, and machining in my grandfather's old line shaft run shop. Mostly, I was a boy but I loved it and learned a great deal. You've brought back some great memories. I can almost smell all the smells and hear the flat belt coupling hitting the pulleys.

These lineshaft videos are very useful for those of us contemplating our first attempt. Thanks for your work.

Working up off the floor is never easy. Having the vice up there with you was smart. I’m looking forward to seeing that wheel spinning same as you I bet . thanks

Patience on display there…🧐
Interesting! 👍

The adept use of calipers is 👌

I find the accuracy of your"primitive" machines astounding. Thank you for sharing and God Bless to all.

The vise clamped to the rim of the wheel reminded me of an old time millwright I worked with years ago. He was fitting a v belt belt pulley to the shaft on a blower that was a good 20' above the floor. It would have been a big job to remove the blower and get it down to the work bench, so he took a small vise up the ladder and secured it to a nearby I-beam. He told me if he hadn't done that it would have required at least 40 trips up and down the ladder and would have resulted in either early retirement or death from a  heart attack. Nice video and I enjoyed the voice over narration of the job.

New favorite channel, dont change a thing.

I was
Lucky to visit a steam driven over head belt
Shop in New York owned
By David Richards,I think
His shop is modeled after a 1920 s shop.He is like a steam engineer.love the work you you are doing.i worked for a while in a
Overhead belt shop back in the 1960s
Thank you nice work.

Another great video!!! Keep them coming!!!

Nice bit of fitting work old style, great video!

Well done , nice job , good idea having the vice up there with you . Those feather keys , are sometimes known as “ French “ keys , thank you .

I've never given those old style keys a thought , could be a useful dodge if you don't have the kit to cut a keyway.

Nice job! Your Denbigh mill must be nice and tight, it seemed to cope OK with climb milling that feather key.

I certainly found this video interesting as i havent seen parts of these systems keyed up including the process of making key and installing key to the pulley

Very Nice ... Fair Play Chap ...
peace
