Smoke Stack Dum Dum🗿🗿
Even though this is a very pretty cast iron smokestack, it probably won’t work for my project so it is for sale. It is approximately 30 inches long with an inside diameter just proud of 11 inches. If you’re interested, you can send me a message.

I’m a big fan of curved-spoke hand wheels. I’ll have to gather a batch of these to put on the locomotive when it’s time to start fitting it up.
with this little project completed, the drill press is almost ready to be fully functional. I have yet to wire up the motor and make a flat belt.

I’ll share the link to the film about sailing tall ships around Cape Horn in my Instagram story if you’re watching this within the first 24 hours of it being posted.
Also, just so that no one misunderstands, simply having “competence” does not please God. In fact, “competency”, without thankful reliance and faith in Jesus Christ is just as useless as a menstruation rag in the eyes of God, according to Isaiah 64:6.
“And without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who draws near to God must believe that He is and that He is a rewarder of those who seek Him.” Hebrews 11:6
Merry Christmas!

The Camelback drill press is almost ready to go. Overall, there was a lot more time and trouble involved to get to this point than the video lets on, but I can only fit so much into one minute video anyway. Some people may ask why I didn’t paint it. The answer is that I don’t find it worth it when wire brushed and polish steel looks so good on its own anyway. Instead I may get someone to do some red pin-striping on it at some point. Let me know what you think.

Harty Locomotive Works has acquired its first standard gauge steam locomotive for restoration, or to put in more direct terms, I bought a train. This is a 1925 Vulcan 33 ton tank engine. There is lots of work to do, and this video shows the most pressing issue that will be fixed, Lord willing.

This 40hp Case steam traction engine was built in 1920, which was nearing the end of the steam era for agricultural tractors. By this time steam traction engines (as a class of machine) had reached their pinnacle of design development and robustness. In contrast, steam locomotives continued to be improved up until the last days of their use which (depending on your geography) was around the 1950s.
Thank you to Bill Graham for letting me video this engine.

I’ve always wanted a Camelback drill press, and this will be a welcomed addition to the shop.

Forging and finishing a small kitchen knife from start to finish. In my most recent giveaway I included $200 towards any custom order. The fellow who won wanted a small kitchen knife, and for an extra hundred dollars on top of the giveaway, this is what I came up with.

It’s hard to imagine what my life would be like without having older fellows telling me hours worth of stories, good ones.

This is an attempt at a kitchen-ish knife that I made for the fellow who won the giveaway a couple months ago. It functions as intended and looks pretty neat too. This is what I think they call a “brute de Forge integral” style knife.

The best part about this video is me having so much fun that I never actually say the reason for my side-burns… so that will have to be in another video.
Also “Shave your chin and get with the program” would make a great T-shirt…
Also feel free to tag @colterwall in the comments and see if we can encourage him to grow chops.

First I show two forges that were built in my shop, both in need of some repair… But then again, how pretty would YOU look if you thermal cycled to 2000° every day… And then I show a new acquisition of mine which is a Johnson natural gas forge. The two forges that I made both work just as well on propane as on natural gas. I don’t know if the Johnson Forge can be used on propane too.
