FIELD TRIP TO SAM'S AMAZING MACHINE SHOP #1143 tubalcain

Things we can learn from the video

Press to jump

2:02Sam grew up working in the machine shop founded by his father.
4:30Pete explains how a sliding bed lathe differs from a lathe with a removable bed section.
9:56The rare Hack Multiversal combines a multi-sided spindle head with versatile machine-tool attachments.
21:40Sam shows poured bearings from a 1910 Stoddard-Dayton automobile and credits teaching that keeps the craft alive.
24:28Sam runs the antique drill press through different speeds using its mechanical friction drive.

Mr. Pete has spent a lifetime around machine tools, but Sam Davis has something he hasn't encountered before. "Never seen a machine like this in my entire life, and it's called the Hack Multiversal," he says during his visit to Davis's shop in Mountain Home, Arkansas.

The rare machine is the centerpiece of "FIELD TRIP TO SAM'S AMAZING MACHINE SHOP #1143 tubalcain," the more watched of mrpete222's two uploads this week, with about 38,000 views. Pete and Sam examine its multi-sided spindle head, substantial table and versatile attachments, then turn to shelves of spare tooling. For machinery this unusual, the accessories are part of the discovery.

Sam grew up working in the shop his father founded. That continuity gives the tour more than mechanical interest: he shows poured bearings from a 1910 Stoddard-Dayton automobile and credits both his father's teaching and Keith Rucker's inspiration with keeping the craft going. Elsewhere, a modern CNC machine sits directly above a little vintage shaper. Viewers are discussing preserved equipment that remains useful, and several liken the outing to a school shop-class field trip.

The other new upload, "REILANG KING OF OILERS #1123 tubalcain oilcans mrpete eagle 66," keeps attention on smaller workshop equipment. The Arkansas visit carries by far the most daily momentum, followed by the oiler video and the earlier Clausing mill cutter-loping lesson.

Daily channel views are running at nearly four times their usual level, while subscribers stayed unchanged over the week. Among similarly sized DIY channels, DIY MiniHouse had a particularly busy week and Josh Wright also drew substantial attention. For mrpete222, the most absorbing detail comes late in Sam's tour: a century-old friction-drive drill press powers up, demonstrating its changing speeds rather than merely standing on display.

I am glad thease old machines were preserved . Hopefully they are passed down to the next generation.

We had a shop here that had a good sized LeBlond sliding bed lathe. It was a gear head. Had roughly the same diameter faceplate with boring mill jaws. And like many shops it closed down and the lathe was sold off. The Hack is very cool, having the accessories is priceless.
