The Canadian Museum of Making

Here is a link to in interesting place in Alberta Canada.
Not sure if this has been posted here before but some may find the machines interesting and they are displayed very well.

They even have a (sadly non-functional) Linotype on display!

(How's the Ward working out?)

Keelan,
Sadly I had to part with the Ward after all the work done to restore it to working shape.
I needed the room for my new CNC mill! Nothing like an upgrade shift!
Still learning how to run it but I can make some simple parts.

Have you been to the Museum?

A friend of mine is the chief cook and bottle washer there- he works for the collector who owns all this stuff, and he coordinates retrieving it, rebuilding it, and installing it. He also built a lot of the part of the building, and the displays. Its an amazing collection, and they do everything right. I havent had a chance to go visit it, and, now, who knows- the Canadians may never let us disease ridden southerners into their country again...

Very nice collection! All very nicely done. Looks like a wonderful place to visit!

:skep:

Wonder why they have flat belts on the chucks? Maybe for some sort of demonstration? At least one of them looks like they are connected to electrical power.

Using the lathe to power the line shaft for some of the non electrically powered machines? Some of which appear to be not just static display.

Yes, that would be a reasonable explanation. Thanks.

Ha ha-lovely to see my old Holbrook again. Miss the old girl-but it's safe for posterity there. Do wish it wasn't used as a drive unit!
