Steam powered machine shop from the 1900s, still in operation

  1. That is very cool, thank you.
    When my wife's employer bought the house across the street for more office space, there was a large garage behind it where the old man who had lived in the house had a complete machine shop. The whole shop was belt driven by a 5hp motor through a system of pulleys and pillow block shafts hung from the ceiling. The motor and machines had been moved out but I got the pulleys, pillow blocks, and shafts. I also got thanks for clearing the "junk" out... damn fool whippersnappers. ;o)
