I made it to the Steam Show, couldn't use Cookies 3 wheeled scooter tho, ground was soft and lots of grass, and I exceed the weight limit a bit, so the circuit breaker kept going off uphill, worked down hill well tho. So I finally just walked slow around the flea mkt area. A little much so I left early and the fella from Ok who was flying in had weather so didn't get airborne till after after 1030.
Did take some pics in the BS Shop tho.

Jr - Thanks for taking pictures of the their Hawkeye Helve . I can add them to the few pictures of other Hawkeyes I have in the folder. - JK

Thanks for sharing.

nice milling machine too

Mike

Mike that was my old milling machine, I donated it to Albany Museum along with several other things.

It was originally a vertical boring machine from WW1 era by Andrews Special Machinery Co. someone added the horizontal part and the boring head had only brass bushings, so I converted it to ball bearings.

The flex shaft grinder setting in front of it was also mine, its 3 phase, that's what my dad and uncle had for a portable grinder when they operated the shop.

Man, it's like one of those children's book tests... How many power hammers can you see in this picture? I can't even tell how many power hammers are in some of those pics... I think there's six...

The hammer behind 'Little John' looks to be a JDH Foot/Power combined. I'm re-doing one just like it in my spare time (Hee hee). It's supposed to have a mess of springs and arms at the top so you can unhook the eccentric, and use the foot treadle for a manual blow. I wish I could find someone with a working model so I can see a picture of the coil spring set-up on top. There's patent drawings in 'Pounding out the Profits', but pretty vauge.

Mike, I believe its strickly a power hammer, but as I am going back down today, I will see if I can get to it, to check for sure.

Write the patent # down and search for it on the Google Patent engine.

Be warned though most of the patent drawings aren't terribly good for telling you how it works. Still, they're better than nothing.

Mike-hr, it turns out that the one behind Little John, was made locally by a local smith, the museum has been informed.

There are some more pics of this place over on owwm

You like my swinging motor mount BT, made out of Oak planks from the sawmill, I designed and built because the motor wouldn't start the line shaft with tension on the belt.

Yeah, I noticed that Jr. I need to steal that idea for my big pedestal grinder with the 14 x 2 inch wheels. I have to give them a spin by hand now to help the motor start. :-)
