Great to see these seasoned machinist doing real machine work. No computers here. Real men. Real machinist. 👍

These are the machines and type of skilled machinists that built all the great machinery of the first half of the 20th century and it's two great wars...I send my respects.

I'm an 83 year old retired Mfg Eng. I started my career almost 60 years ago in Glens Falls NY USA in a machine shop that used even older machining equipment than yours. What you can accomplish with yours is very impressive!

These are very hard working men. They do amazing things with very little tools to work with. I admire them

79yr. I keep expecting to see Fred Flintstone to show up. Great job by these skilled machinists.

Old mining mechanic. This is what Amy and Europe industry once was, with reliable equipment and skilled manpower. . Now we know where the equipment went when greedy corporations destroyed America.

I just love the way these workshops are spotlessly clean, and all the safety wear is the best available!!! Those safety flipflops are something else! However, these guys do a remarkable job.

A big job and mostly well done, cooling the shaft down and heating the hub up probably would have made it a bit easier to install the shaft but brute force works to.

A real tribute to the engineers, factory workers that designed and built those old machines.

I enjoy these videos seeing what the workers can accomplish with what their employer’s supply them with.

So much history...Entire libraries...So much life and sacrifice. Masters and more masters who made all those machines authentic monuments to human work and creativity... The world is thanks to them and thousands more in other parts of the world... Greetings to all the metallurgists and colleagues on earth...

After seeing Keith Rucker on vintage machinery restore a shaper that old shaper was cool to see running. Love to see what that part goes to.

Whole new meaning for 'precision workmanship' and 'workshop safety'. Incredible that the things actually work! I guess 'close counts!'

[trainnerd]

Very hard-working men!The workplace injuries there must be absolutely gruesome… Respect!!!

Удивительное производство. Интересно было посмотреть.

The run out on the drill press at 13:50 has to be close to 100 thou. It is stunning that any two parts fit together. You have to give them credit.

Another Awsum Job !!! I'm wandering if they balance a wheel in this application .... Thanks for sharing 😉😎

Молодцы рабочие по развитию вы похожи на Российских рабочих те же станки такие же цеха
спасибо Петру 1 что позаботился о вас и о нас оставив в наследство станки

These guys are so good at machining and all work together to get the work done and what a great job they did here I would like to watch these guys live. Know CNC machines hear guess what there so good they don’t need CNC machines all old school and they pass there skills down to the next generation. Any one know what that big wheel was for because I not sure. I’m going to watch the next video. One thing I love them old machines. 💪💪💪
