Friday Night Steam (This one is for Irish)

Want to see what a steam powered machine shop looked liked? Of course you do! 
At the 10 minute mark, he fires 'er up!

Grab a cold one, put your feet up and enjoy!!





Grab another one and see the type of machines used - you're going to love the lathe!

  1. Way too cool. I watched the second video first and will watch the other one later. Noted the mention of the Edison-Ford Museum in Ft. Myers, Fl. We have been there. Neat place. He also mentioned the Georgia Agriculture Museum and the Lehigh RR shops. Would love to visit them. Looking forward to Irish's comments. The Tweetsie RR shops need some steam powered machines. I plan to show them this post next month.

    1. Glad you liked it! I just love those old machines. (Hubby was a machinist and ran the old Brown & Sharpes). The Mundy Hoisting Company also made steam train engines. Might have to do a post about that one! :o)
