If I ever won the loto I know what factory tour would be first on the list .

Bob , how can I put up more than 1 video in a post , not that I really mind because it keeps me earning credits that I can sell off to those that want to sticky things LOL

I wonder if that's an old flat head v-8 powering that loader, super fun stuff there. What is it about steam that gets people all weak in the knees...

Dunno. Maybe one of the more techno savvy guys can answer that. I'm lucky if I remember how to post single pictures.

Great videos. That planer feeds a bit faster than my dad's old Belsaw. I love the ingenuity of the old iron. I can't help but wonder how many men lasted 10 years working there during its hayday. I bet it left many deaf, one-eyed and/or one handed. Ron

Nice to see the Donkey working.
Got me wondering who made it. Turns out it's a 1929, by the Washington Iron Works (Seattle).
More particulars here.

Good stuff, dancan!

Thanks

Great video's!
I've got a buddy with a planer mill just about like that one....except it's got a Cummins on the end of the belt instead of a steam engine.

When Glenda and I first got married I worked at a small mill. We did everything the hard way.....
