Line Shafts and belt driven machines. As they worked wood Back-In-The-Day: no guards, loose belts, Babbitt bearings, cast iron machines, etc.

I no longer build museums but don't want to change my name. My new job is a lot less stressful. Life is much better.

Every day find time to appreciate life. It is far too short and 'things' happen. RIP Willem
  I started swapping tools back in 1965. I can't tell you how many line shops I bought up. Back then most guys added pulleys and motors and converted them. It's sweet seeing an old Curmudgeon buy, and keep them on power shafts  Thanks for posting this.
Worst thing they can do is cook ya and eat ya

I love looking at stuff like this! Thanks for posting it.
I can't imagine the total weight of all that iron.

I find it truly amazing what they could do with the equipment they had back in the day!
Love it!

I used to catch wood off of a belt driven buzz saw, like the one in the video below, while my granddad ran the saw. Granddad only had one arm. Guess what happened to the other one. It was not the saw that grabbed him, but the side PTO pulley. It caught his sleeve and he was lucky to live at all.
I tried not believing. That did not work, so now I just believe
