@ Don,
LOL…I pretty much “live” in my shop, only people I know are the guy that owns the hardware store, the postmaster and the guy that sells beer.

and now a guy with a kick ass wood shop. That’s a reason for a trip to see the guy that sells the beer for sure.

I should start calling myself a “smart ass”! Well, you just have to be lucky sometimes.

Now you know where to go to joint a 16 incher. That’s amazing. What drives that huge pulley? And why is there a huge pully, for that matter.

@Bertha,

the pulley is powering the mortiser and tenoning machines and I dont know what else…these are all turn of the machines and thats how they were powered..all flat belt pulleys.

I will take more and better photos when I visit next

Looks like a big electric motor turning the belts.

My dad’s shop was powered by a 330 Ford industrial engine, before that it was turned by a McCormick-Deering 4 cylinder engine.

Before that it was my grand fathers and turned by Model A engine. Before that it had a steam engine and before that it had a water wheel.

I wish I still had it.

That’s a shop gloat!
It’s about time you meet …

Same here! Can’t wait what other things to see in that old man’s shop!

I’m going to have learn to be a bigger smart ass!!!!

-- Doug Rowan, am I working the wood or is the wood working me!

I don’t see that as something wrong. Besides, knotheadswoodshed lives in a small town where everyone seem to know each other well.

Some folks have all the luck.
