Yes great video. I’m also enjoying ur lathe build as well Rex

Thanks so much!

I don't think that's true. Just having a fuel source doesn't lead to the technology to use it. The Romans were aware of oil, but couldn't figure out what to do with it. You're confusing necessary and sufficient conditions. Fuel is a necessary condition, but not a sufficient one.

I've turned plenty of small steel parts on my small wood lathe. I use the sharpened end of an old file as a cutting tool, files to shape, and a hacksaw as a cut off tool

that's enough of that, young man.

You are absolutely correct. Without a modern lathe we would not have the complexity of parts needed for our equipment we use presently.

Brandon Berry I had to take several semesters of machining for a vocational classes in high school in small town Kansas. There were several machines, some newer, but there were older World War Two machines that the school received as donations after the war ended. They were more accurate and intuitive than the newer ones.

I used to work in a machine shop that was full of WW2 era machines that still had the Lend/Lease tags riveted to them.

i own a german lathe of 20 30's it was the time that lathes where used for engine parts and gun parts.. with that, a high need of high precision was back than already needed. than again my lathe weights about 800kg+ while same size new lathe would weight only 150-250kg so as long as it does not fall.. (iron is extreme hard but it can crack when falling ) than you have a decent machine. also keep in mind consumer products can not be compared to industrial stuff. today industrial machines are made so it survive all. bearings are 10 sizes bigger than needed. platework is 5mm instead of 0.5mm shafts are 30mm instead of 8mm. i work in a factory and only the boxes folding machine the bearings for the arm that graps the boxes. max load is 1kg with the arm. shaft of 20mm, mounted on 2 plates of 8mm, 4 bearings both sides of the plates..even after running 100 years that machine still dont need a swap of parts. and than we look at machines from 50 years and older.. you can add that times 5 of overpowering. casted iron, solid block of 20cm xD that is why my lathe is so heavy xD i love old machines.. milling machine, lathe, cold saw, all casted iron machines.. you just know even under heavy load the frame would not even bend 1 micron. love it ;)

@rigegs Do you think hitler's propaganda machine was factual?

The lathe was used to create the metal planer which in turn created a much precise lathe, INCLUDING THE WAYS. The more precise creates metal creates an even more precise metal planer. Which in turn creates a much more precise metal lathe and so forth and so on. This also includes jigs, fixtures, tools, dies, extenders that handles much larger metal pieces but the size increase is gradual until you ended up larger and more precise machine tools. Between 1800 and 1900 the industrial revolution has achived, in the laboratory, precision measured in several millionths of an inch and a sufficient amount of that accuracy has been transfered from the laboratory to the machine tool industry between 1800 to 1900. In WW II the micro-inch was achived, and now in high-tech machining facilities accuracies of tolerances are now measured in nanometers for the mechanical parts of the "STEPPER" which is the key manufacturing equipment in making the silicon IC chips used in your and my computers. Study industrial history and you will know, but these books are old books and out-of-print books carefully stored and preserved in library archives and were prudently microfilmed many times by a multi-copier microfilm writer. That technology has been in existence in the early 1950s and your library, if it is properly funded and administered and managed, should have several such equipment and a microfilm scanner-reader for you to read direct from microfilm or transferred rapidly to your portable computer or whatever you have.

Yes Scott

It could be used to make the bearings and bore ganged metal rods for the straight-line drawing mechanisms described in A. B. Kempe's historic 1871 book 'How to draw a straight line'. The pdf can be found on Project Gutenberg, and is an amazing insight into how to construct a straight line from first principles. These mechanisms could then be used with a metal cutting toolbit to shape even straighter lathe bed ways.

Perhaps a 3D Printer can print itself.

When my lathe was waiting for a new motor, I used my mill as a lathe. Obviously a bit cumbersome, but it got the job done.

Thanks for sticking around ;-)

Thanks for continuing to farm! Machinists like to eat as well.

Thanks for feeding the world

Is this one of those "Best of Both Worlds" scenarios?

on the farm, downtime equals lost money. You usually either had the machining tools or you were friends with someone that did. I was blessed to grow up in a farming family that included welders, machinists and blacksmiths.

Funny you imagine being back in time and having the oportunity to bring inventions to an earlier time. I do the same. hahaha (but probably not as thoroughly as you do)

We will always have farms, but perhaps not farmers. Overseers of AI that control mass farms, maybe.

Not really, we will eventually do away with farms, as wasteful of resources. Even today, we have begun to produce meat via stem cells, for sale, and we have factories in some American Cities that produce vegetables vertically and hydroponically. We are on the cusp of an agrarian revolution, every bit as big as the early neolithic revolution. Or the effect that the lathe pictured in this video, had on industrialization. It doesn't stop there though, and plans are afoot for nano scale production of everything we might need or want. Food, clothing, medicines, vehicles, and much more. By the end of the century, at the very latest, we will be living in a world / Solar System / Galaxy, that is beyond anything Star Trek Second Generation dreamed of... but we won't be ordinary humans anymore, and we won't be the Borg. Yet the boundaries between human and machine will be blurred. Our Machine will become more Human and we will become more Machines, whatever that may mean in 82 years. If we were suddenly transported to that time from where we sit now, we would be as bewildered by the changes, as anyone from the 1740's brought into our world.

Cro-magnon Gramps Moving farm production from horizontal in dirt to vertical in buildings will probably have less impact than either the agricultural or green revolutions. It’s a evolution, not a revolution.

Thanks for the info, brother. Wish I could go, but sadly I'll take your word for it. Thanks

I think the original lathe was all made by hand. You can achieve incredible accuracy that way just don't count the hours involved. Using the basic lever principle you can magnify errors. If you have a machine slide driven by a lead screw it usually is able to be moved by a thou at a time on a standard lathe but if you change the dial calibration to a bigger size dial greater accuracy is achieved. Back in 1985 I used a lathe dated 1918 to do some screw cutting 8 tpi thread. I was amazed how well it worked. How many mistakes were made to get to the first lathe is unknown but it would be handy to know. Its called development.

Al Grayson ~ Wow... I’m alone in my car, just pulled over at a gas station to read some of the comments; when I came across your comment I actually wowed out loud! What a great addition to this honoring of the lathe!!! I’m so grateful for youtube at moments like these!!

I didn't know that. Thanks, Al. There is a vague resonance with the invention of valve gear for steam engines. The steam engine evolved from rudimentary steam-powered pumps used for dewatering mines in (I think) Cornwall, which in turn evolved from manually driven sailing-ship pumps, used to evacuate the holds and bilges of seawater which continually leaked in through the seams between planks. The Cornish pumps used pistons exposed to the water from below, and to steam above. The steam was cooled to condense it, creating a vacuum and lifting the piston and the water below it. The pump had valves operated by boys. One smart boy got bored, and after improvising a lashup mechanism with string and bits of wood to activate the valve at the correct moment in the cycle, skived off, for which he was duly punished. (IIRC) Thos Newcomen got wind of this enhancement, and incorporated a self-acting arrangement on his "Atmospheric Engine", which was the precursor to the steam engine. And the rest is history.

@@Gottenhimfella i'm Cornish and haven't heard that one before, sounds probable though. Trevithick was inspired as a boy by the Watt engines used in Cornish mines as well, which led him to build the first high pressure engines.

As "lath" also refers to the small strips of wood you find supporting plaster. Later on came metal lath which served the same purpose.

In that moment, were you euphoric?

flewggle All the other economic, technological and social preconditions did not exist. Ancient societies couldn't just reorganize for mass commodity manufacture production.

Many inventions and concepts were conceived much sooner than we were able to actually use them. Transistor being another well recognized example.

I don't think that can be take as a "given", flewggle, and not just for the valid reasons given by others. Pipe organs were manually pumped for a thousand years or more, being cranked by hand or foot like lathes, and that didn't hold back their development appreciably. Hero's invention was so inefficient and feeble it would not have matched the power output (or modest appetite for fuel) of a young child. And it's easier (and some would say, more fun) to create small children than steam engines, even feeble ones. ;-)

i always wondered who invented the first presision machines, because how in earth can someone make precision machines when they didn't had precision tools? I gues that clock makers were the first people who invented precision tools and machines, because designing and making an apparatus that runs almost perfectly on time must have bin almost a world wonder when the first mechanical clocks were made, and i'm even stunned by clock makers today when you look at al those fine tiny pieces that go in to it. Those people are the einsteins of mechanics imo.

@@3DPeter These watch makers and clock makers we're really stealth geniuses. Even Socrates stated he had students "Not of his time". The Incas had calendars able to read two thousand years in advance. European didn't have a monopoly on genius. I can imagine back then when religion was the end all and be all of formal teachings certain thoughts and ideas were frowned upon. "The earth isn't the center of the universe" thinking got a lot of people in the dungeon or killed. Be it proof through mathematics, mechanical or other means. My point is a LOT of inventions have been destroyed out of fear and ignorance. Now the only difference is corporations have taken the place of the religious sects of yesterday and are going around stomping out competition through lawsuits or threats. As the saying goes Times may change but things always stay the same.

I felt that. Its because we aren't pressured to learn this for a grade, rather we learn this because we want to which also makes learning and retaining the info from this easier and more valuable

CA School: "Now, let's take a look at the racist history of the lathe."

This is why public funding of education is obsolete, and truly unconstitutional.

@@solar_sailor9995 I think the reasons go far deeper than that. In publicly-funded educational institutions, one tends to be taught solely via rote memorization. While this works well for early learning where you're just simply trying to learn the alphabet and that 2+2=4 (something that grown adults still seem to have trouble with 🙄) this same approach tends to lead to complete disinterest once you reach the higher grade levels and are now onto more complex topics like "Why was America founded the way that it was?" or "What makes this machine more important than other machines?" etc. etc... These are more complex subjects where the focus needs to be on learning HOW to think and not so much on WHAT to think. Once you reach this point, simple rote memorization of dates, places and events doesn't even BEGIN to explain what makes all of these concepts important and ultimately leads to a feeling of intense boredom because the very POINT of history and other subjects like it becomes lost. In special regards to history in and of itself, the very point of the subject lies within its name...hiSTORY, in other words, it's literally the STORIES of the past which are meant to inform us, teach us and make us think about what these events have to teach us about our lives today. To use the Gettysburg Address as an example, if all you do is learn when the speech was given and who delivered it...well, all that does is help you pass a test and says nothing about what that speech actually MEANS and the impact it had on the eventually ending of slavery in the U.S. and the eventual end of the Civil War. However...if you can read it, hearing the voice of President Abraham Lincoln in your mind as you do so, whilst looking at a picture that was painted depicting Gettysburg, PA right after the battle...well, then that's something else entirely. By doing so, you're now able to put YOURSELF there on that day and feel as inspired as every American who was present on the day President Lincoln gave that speech. Now, that moment in history takes on a whole new life and one becomes just amazed at how much truly does survive the test of time. This is the difference between being educated in a typical classroom versus being educated in your spare time on sites like UKposts. A good educational UKpostsr will not just simply give you dates, names and places to memorize...hell, sometimes they don't even give you that information at all, considering those facts superfluous to the real point of what that UKpostsr is trying to get across. Instead, one is presented with an engaging story where one is also shown bits and pieces from that story so that the events you are being told about are able to themselves come alive and actually touch you in a way that simple rote facts cannot. This is REAL education, the way that it should be, where the viewer is not only empowered to think but also EXPECTED and ENCOURAGED to, so that the subject is able to become as exciting as it truly IS. I was never all that certain back when I was growing up as to what sort of subject would ever excite me, although I will admit that my High School history courses were made much more exciting than any other course of instruction thanks to several out-of-the-box thinking teachers who made it their mission to make their subjects as fun and engaging as possible, even within the strictures of teaching to the test imposed by "No Child Left Behind" which was starting to take shape within my Junior and Senior years. That said...I will say that the documentaries I saw in my young adulthood coupled with the educational content that I've found now on UKposts has made me a history FAN... And I personally hope that it does the same for many others. ☺😁👍

I have learned way more from UKposts than all of my schooling 🤷🏻‍♂️

Yes but if you can't turn metal that's not going to help. The point is to mass produce so many industry parts that needed to be precise and round. The lathe is the big winner

@@thestonedraider8684 there's arguably nothing more significant toward our development technologically than the lathe, if the video is anything to go off of. Ultimately while the mona lisa did nothing to produce anything in the material sense, it did introduce a new manner of thinking that was profound and inspiring, due to it's rare and unique 3d perspective that was otherwise completely unthought of in a time period where our culture was limited to 2d paintings and drawings, with little to no perspective. It's only valued today because there are enough people alive to care about it as a spectacle of achievement within european culture. However if they were to die off, or people stopped giving a damn, it'd eventually become worthless, like many other ancient paintings have, ultimately becoming lost to time, only to either be destroyed, or rediscovered once more later on.

lol you fucking moron I agreed with you.

and he and the rest of the steam-engine pioneers like Watt and others came up with some brilliant mechanisms for problems like e.g. converting rotary motion to an exact straight line, so pistons didn't generate undue friction; The Watts linkage is of course still used on car suspensions today.
