Old Time Steam Powered Machine Shop

I'm not sure if this has been put on here before but I have really gotten into watching this youtube series. I believe there are 20 episodes so far.

Wonder if he is a member on here? Tool talk perhaps?

Makes me want to build a steam engine!

I've watched all of Daves videos. Very talented individual. I drool over his shop and collection of old machinery!

Great video except for when he laid his belly up against the chuck while got his tool off the wall

Where is he located? He mentioned Sayre, Pa. Anywhere near?

I believe his shop is in New York? Sounds like he goes to Florida too though.

If you want to learn about steam engines and machine work at the turn of
the 20th century, from someone who loves it and wants to share his knowledge
in laymans terms, here's your man. He probably won't toot his own horn.
Pouring Babbitt bearings, how they measured without micrometers, flat belt pullys, etc.
He's currently restoring a steam engine he dug up out of the woods.

He has a machine called a shaper. What does it do? What is made on it etc?
