    It works great. I can’t get the video to work here. It’s a cool looking engine to watch as you wouldn’t think it would be able to turn.

    The south bend is a 9c I believe but I’m going off my memory which isn’t so good. I have some pexto sheet metal tools in my shop. (A shear and a metal brake.)
    I also have a rivett lathe from 1924 and a drill press with an Ayer drill press also from 1924 in my shop at work. There are countless tools at work from the 1800s and early 1900s. That is the coolest thing about my job. It’s like I work in a museum.

    Found this guy hiding on a shelf in a storage room. It was made between 1821-1851. I laugh as I don’t think I could make one now with today’s equipment. Lol1B8C8DAA-8267-4B21-936D-E0C657F998EB.jpgThis microscope is from the 1890s I believe. 977DACDF-F6D2-44E1-8A74-30FD45CCD1F0.jpgSome old bicycle oil. Still has the cork. Sperm whale oil next to it. Vise is marked 19084FFC23C5-27F1-43D7-9BCB-6692918CE2E3.jpgJust a really cool old oil can with a built in pour spout. 1A233CD4-8B09-4A79-A7AB-3432EB16A0E7.jpgWe also have a brass and copper telescope upstairs that dates to 1749.

    It hasn't been started in the 4 years I've been here. The last time anyone remembers using it was the late 90's.
