Amazing old woodwork machinery

I spent the day with the most amazing old woodwork machines in the shop of @jackEnglishmachines
Jack is an amazing craftsman who has beautifully restored many amazing old woodwork machines and uses them daily in his work.

Another set of really well made super accurate wood joints with no apparent purpose have been completed. 👍🏻

My heart melted when I saw this. Been working for a year on my own channel to restore a 1946 Walker-Turner 10 inch table saw. I'm so close, just gotta keep on pressing!

I used to own an old 10” Delta radial arm saw. I consider it one of the most dangerous machines I’ve ever owned. The only machine I’ve had a “near miss” on and there were several. Seeing that dado machine with that large cutter made my butt pucker. I’m glad to see that you still have all of your fingers.

I'm retired and if I had a shop like that I would spend every waking moment in it.

That chain mortiser is way more accurate than I expected. What is that crazy little belt sander? I've never seen one before.

Back in the 1960's when I was a teenager working my first job I got to know a retired second-generation master carpenter. He told me when he was a little kid his first job was stoking the boiler last thing in the evening, and first thing before school, to keep up the steam pressure for his family's woodworking shop. The steam engine drove overhead jack shafts to power all the equipment. Everything operated off of those overhead shafts, power was transmitted via flat belts (un-guarded). Talk about danger.

I'm 61 and watching your videos makes me miss High School woodshop

That old mortise machine was really cool. You're joinery videos are the best. You make it look so easy when in reality, it is extremely difficult.

[JS-hupv]

I’m pretty sure this is what heaven looks like. Wow those are some beautiful machines.

[DavidSmith-ezvv]

Those are some amazing machines. I hesitate to call them old because they do not look old at all to me. They are so well maintained.

[dmc]

Those machines were beautifully engineered.

This is how I learned back in high school doing my projects for tables. Individual legs on the lathe using a stencil from paper and black marker 😂 loving your new machinery videos I watch them weekly

[jimwalker]

Excellent videos, straight to it, no endless talking and rubbish music, 👏

[SturleyArt]

Awesome work. Great seeing you use older equipment and maintaining your high standards and finish.
