My name is Jeff, and welcome to The Vintage Workshop. I have been a cabinetmaker and building hand crafted furniture for about 30 years now. My workshop is a combination of vintage woodworking and metalworking machinery, as well as a heavy emphasis on hand tools. A few years ago, I also started making wooden hand planes. I am here to try and share what I've learned as a professional woodworker, as well as hone my metalworking skills. My video's will be about sharing what I've learned making wooden planes, hand crafted furniture and cabinetry, and mixing in plenty of metalworking for restorations. I also enjoy restoring vintage woodworking and metalworking machinery, and using them in my workshop. As you will see, all of the machinery in my shop dates from the early to mid 20th century. I am constantly working on restoring vintage machinery, and think it's very important to preserve that part of our past. I also have a sawmill, and cut all my own lumber.
Machining new mudjacking pump parts on the Monarch lathe
This video is the first of several to come showing me machining new parts for my mudjacking pump, which is for raising concrete. You'll get to see the recently restored Racine Hydraulic Hacksaw cutting 5" solid round steel, and also get to see a lot of lathe work on the Monarch Series 61 lathe.

Great job with the video. tHanks for all the tips...I need to get tires for my 14" Walker Turner....just got it moved in.
Hey Jeff, just picked up this saw recently and want to get it into working order, much like you. I got new tires for Bobby. Did you replace the bearings? My wheels are spinning free and well, but a lot of folks have cautioned me to replace the bearings on a saw of this age.
I always put new bearings in when I rebuild a machine.
What if you don't have a 16" joiner?
Use a hand plane. Use a router sled. Use what you have available to you.
could you show me the way to remove that spindle pls ?
I've owned a jointer for years, rarely use it because I did not know how to use it. I have some reclaimed fence board I glued together that is twisted and was going to discard. I'm going to give it a go. You explained this process very well. I've watched several videos on this topic. I noticed my cutter and outfeed are not set right. Shouldn't that be the first step. Looking forward to using this process. Excellent tutorial.
Yes, align top dead center of your cutterhead to the top of the outfield table. Do the tune up first, then proceed.
I don't know if you check youtube comments anymore, but do you have any advice for finding material for making wooden bench planes? I am interested in making a set of bench planes at some point but I can't find thick stock anywhere locally and am unsure whether laminating up thinner stock will be a problem.
From time to time, a company like Rosewood Studios sells plane blanks. It's hit or miss. It's best to find a sawyer in your area that runs a sawmill, and can cut you quartersawn American beech (If you're in the USA). It's difficult to dry, so they need to know what they're doing. I'm down to my last 4 33" lengths of 16/4 European Beech, and when it's gone, it's gone. My source went out of business.
@@JeffHeathTheVintageWorkshop I see thank you for the response. Unfortunately the only place I know that has beech (and its European beech so I would imagine its more expensive) is rather far and sold at thickest in 8/4 (though they also are willing to give quotes on special requests). The closest thing property wise at the local store that sells good quality lumber is 8/4 S4S cherry or maple, so if I could ask abother question: is laminating thicker stock from thinner stock a problem for making planes? On a side note you may also want to check red rose reproductions. I found they sometimes sell plane making billets.
I am not a fan of laminated planes. They will work, but you'll always be dealing with frequent tuning/fettling because of the glue line causing moisture barrier issues. You need to find 16/4....14/4 will work, but 16/4 allows the most leeway as it give you the ability to make the wedge from the same piece of wood. Good luck. The wood I've been using for the past 8 years has all been German beech, imported here. I bought an entire pallet of it, and have 4 33" pieces left. When it's gone, I'm done. @@DiersakZelesnik
The "long boring" part is exactly what I wanted to hear, I currently have 2 apart in the shop, getting them both going and info like you said is sparce. Thanks for the video
Thanks Jeff, really enjoyed watching. Just wanted to see the freshly sharpened drills punching through some steel LOL.
Plastics are 144 degrees
I have an old walker turner bandsaw that when I try to cut anything the wheels and the blade stops but the motor keeps going... I don't know what I'm doing wrong.
Great discussion. I'll address the question a bit differently, as I'm closer to being a newbie than you are but have a few years of experience to inform it. Anybody getting just one plane is limited on either space, money, or both. Maybe some would rather have one expensive new plane than 5 good deals on fixer uppers though. Anyway, just get an old Stanley #4 or #5 - whatever you find first, and fix it up - the process will teach you a lot about how these work.
Great content. This was a few years ago, but was there ever a folllow-up video of re-assembly. I'd love to see how the upper arm reconnects to the main body casting. Thank you for sharing this.
Apparently to move a lathe, you have to be a machinist, and know how to operate a lathe at a level 10 ability. Moving a lathe seems to require an engineering degree, or decades of experience in working with industrial machines. Also, a side note. Your shop is a masterpiece, and every thing in there is super ultra nice, including the walls and stainless steel toolbox and jointed flat workbench with thick beams. However, it should be said that not everyone can afford polished, laser flat concrete with no cracks in it. That's one hell of a nice floor! It almost seems like it's impossible to move a lathe without a properly finished concrete floor. The garage I'm in, the last owner didn't use rebar in the poor of the entire garage floor, so there are large uneven cracks, which makes the moving of a lathe into garage seem an even more daunting task.
I can honestly say that I have no idea what you're trying to tell me with this comment. Feel free to be more specific, otherwise, thanks for watching.
Thanks Jeff. I'm glad you put the part about creating a spring joint in text. I'd never heard of that. Quick search and now I know. Interesting!
Jeff, this is so helpful, thanks.
Wanted to see how you change speeds, what kind of gearbox, metal cutting cutting speed and a metal cutting demonstration.
Thank you sir!!
Wish someone would show tightening and how to know you've got the proper tension on the blade on saws like this. I have the exact same saw that belonged to my grandfather. He bought it off someone in the 1950's
Hi I liked your video on plane making. I have Larry's CD and another from Tod Netflix on hollows and rounds. I wanted to make a simple plane and contacted lie Nelson to order floats. They are no longer making them as they want to concentrate on there main lines. So do you have any sources of fair priced floats or do I make them? Thanks Lou retired in nh😃
I didn't know they stopped making floats. I would search around, and if you have the skill and tooling, make them for sure. I would make more myself if I ever needed them. They're not that complicated. Good luck, and thanks for watching.
Very nice saw Jeff, I wish I had the space for a Martin TS...👍
I have a VERY POORLY constructed slab on stem wall. The concrete has cracked but not settled. clearly the supporting backfill ( supporting fill dirt) was not compacted and the dirt compacted ONLY due to the weight of the poorer concrete. (.you can HEAR the “ hollow” unsupported slab by simply tapping on it with a hammer) So how do you inject “ only enough” mud to support the slab but not raise it?
Waiting for the next Yates Bandsaw. I belong to the Greenville Woodworkers Guild in Greenville, SC. We are probably the largest guild in the US. In addition to having fun with projects, I maintain 7 bandsaws including 3 older machines, a 36" Yates, identical to your rebuild project, a 20" Crecent, a 36" Tannewitz , in additon to a 14" PowerMatic, an 18" PowerMatic, and a 16"Laguna. I am having and issue with the Yates with a lot of slop in the top wheel tilt to adjust tracking. I think I need to check wheel-to-wheel alignment. Any advice? I also need to probably retire both wheels. Advise? Do you have a follow-up to your restoration project? Part 3-4-5...? Thanks for the good video and your love of vintage machines.
Mr. Heath, great video. I have an old Oliver wood lathe that has a spindle that's 1 1/8 inch. can't find a spindle adapter. Any idea who makes one? Thank you in advance.
I bought the adapter a while back at Packard turning supply, but I also think Oneway made one, and Nova, as well. Do a search and they should pop up. They are out there. The one I have is made for left hand and right hand, so it can be used on the outboard side, as well. Called an ambidextrous adapter.
How do you purge your tanks before you cut
Hello, could you share the titles of the DVD’s you mentioned in the beginning of the video?
Drool factor 15. that is 1 heck of a machine.
i was the dumb ass who saw the video of how to correctly create flat paralell square boards AFTER id bought a thicknesser. ahhahah ah well. now im lookin for the triton jointer and low n behold their outta stock .
Hey bud I have a 14” walker turner I just got up and running with a 14tpi 95x 3/4 in blade and was curious if I could also run a thin blade on this saw as well or if I would need a different saw or guides?
great video. bought a mudd pump for $75 at an auction. gonna try to do this myself.
Model number of the saw?
I hoped the title was an exaggeration and I'm glad it was!
Thank you. That was very helpful
You are welcome. I'm glad it was helpful.
Beautiful piece!!!
Thanks. She's enjoying it.
Beautiful wood!
Great video and very helpful.
Hi Jeff, your machine do have a three phase motor and should be spinning counterclockwise. By doing this, all the grinding sparkles will be going down and not to your face. You can either make or buy the wheel face guard (DB62-1) which is missing and will protect you. Regards.
Thank you so very much for the detailed information!! I've been pressing down the whole way across the lumber, with the same result every time smh
I’m glad you mentioned Larry! He really helped me 20 years ago.
Thank you for the video. Right now I only have 3 tools, hand drill, hand held circular saw and a router. Possible to use those to get the lumber squared and flat? I am aware jigs will be required, and the results won't be as great. Or better to get S2S for now?
Plenty of ways with minimal tooling. I'd recommend adding a hand plane to your tool kit, an older Stanley jack plane in decent condition.
@@JeffHeathTheVintageWorkshop thank you, i will look into it.
Thanks Jeff, much appreciated you made this one! Exactly what I needed.
Skates are made to have a one by piece od wood on top of them
I had wood in between. IF you watched the video, you'd know that the skate locked up because it was damaged, not because of misuse of the skates. They were damaged and unsafe, and the rental joint even gave me my money back because of it. Carry on.....matters not anymore, this was 4 or 5 years ago.
Hi Jeff, from Australia, great commentary and instruction. I came across the Sterling whilst looking for a Lisle but it seems a much easy unit to operate. I’m sure you said they are still making them, do you have any idea of the cost for a newbie unit……shipping would be the killer. Anyway, thanks again, subscribed as enjoyed your format
Yep if I was an expert I wouldn’t be here. I need to learn the basics and am grateful that you take the time to share your knowledge Top Video
Thanks for watching!
I bought this grinder last summer. I paid $500, I need to set up the grinder because it was in pieces, I got some parts from Sterling. Their service is fantastic.
How do you change the belt that drives the water pump ?
It's a rubber slow speed belt joined by a staple. Simply unhook it, install it, and run the staple through again. Nope, I don't have a picture.
@@JeffHeathTheVintageWorkshop But there is no way to sling a modern auto parts store belt over the pullies ?
@@1-shotslinger108 you don't use a auto parts store belt. Get the right belt. Contact belting companies. Mine was fine so I didn't replace it.
@@JeffHeathTheVintageWorkshop My original belt was laying in the bottom .It had a staple .I did not know you could still get an early style belt. Thanks .
part 2???????????????????
I haven't made a video in 18 months......no time. The world is a mess right now, and I can't hire employees because they're all getting paid to stay home, so I'm working my ass off instead.
New to your channel, just looked up new price for a 1 3/4" #4 Morse Taper bit, Cleveland , $560 from MSC, I thought you were a little low on price estimate, $13 for that bit is more than a good deal.....I am very jealous.....cheers form Central Florida, Paul...
Thanks for watching. Yep, they're expensive so I've filled out the sizes with used.
Where did you get your tire materials? I just bought a walker turner handsaw but it needs tires.
Bobby at Woodworkers Toolworks in Wisconsin.
Approximately how much does a job like this cost?
Every job is different, and every company is different. This particular job is from 4 years ago, so pricing wouldn't be relevant today. I offer a free estimate if you are in my area. Driveways can cost anywhere from $400 on up to over $1000, depending on how big the driveway is, and how many inches it needs to be raised. Easily assessed on site.
Thanks for the in depth explanation!
