A Most Interesting Combination Vise
Переглядів 1,9 тис.2 місяці тому
Stowell Mfg & Foundry Co's "Hanson" combination vise: 5 tools in 1! Anvil, filing vise, saw vise, drill press, and pipe vise demonstrated and tested, it feels that this little unit was worth the 6$ originally charged for it. I'd like to thank Phil for preserving this thing prior to me.

Antique Grain Grinder making Chicken Feed
Переглядів 1,6 тис.7 місяців тому
The chickens need some scratch and the corn is ready, so there is no better time to try out the Goold Shapley & Muir grain grinder. Last used over 50 years ago, it has no trouble to grind up a few cobs worth of corn. In the future, I'll run it at a slower speed with a stationary engine.

    The handle above the brush rigging is for moving the brushes to eliminate sparking. The operating position of the brushes will also need to be moved if sparking increases due to current changes from different mechanical loads. It wasn't long before commutating coils were invented to eliminate the need to physically move the brushes to compensate for load changes.

    @17:10 every back yard tinkerer needs a good kitty supervisor Edit: also to add about the 6V and 12V batteries. You can tell what the battery is based on how many caps are on top. Each cap is a cell and each cell is 2V. 3 caps = 6 V and 6 caps = 12V. The starter should not care what the ground orientation is.
