Скачать или смотреть Atlas 7B Shaper Movie (Revised)

A short collection of shots of my little Atlas 7B metal shaper, a vintage machine from the 50's. Yes, it's missing a few original parts here and there, but she works great despite her age.

I do hope to someday find the large pulley guard that is missing from the other side (and an authentic vise while I'm at it).

Thanks for watching!

2/21/13: I have received a lot of very nice comments about my Atlas Shaper and this video, for which I am very grateful. No doubt, some of you see the 9" SouthBend lathe in the background. I've also done a video or two of it as well. These were my Dad's machines, and I couldn't let them get away from me when he passed on. I learned how to run a lathe when I was 15 or so on this very lathe. It's been rebuilt a couple of times, and I still use the heck out of it!

I have designed and trying to finish a camera dolly (powered) designed specifically for large-format (pro) video cameras. This has taken every bit of 2 years to get it finished. Anyway, I shot some demo footage in my garage using this dolly, and you can get more of a glimpse of my garage workspace and benches. (Beleive me, it doesn't look this neat most of the time...all of the crap is behind the camera!). The engine in this video is a 1954 Ford/Mercury flathead V8, part of a project car for a VERY rare car called the "Venus". (If you're a gear head, you might want to check out my blog page:

Also on this "demo" are some close-ups of my American made Fender Stratocaster. I don't play it much; just don't make the time...but I like just having it around. It came with a white pearl pick-guard that I thought was simply awful. I replaced it with a tortoise shell pick-guard and it looks much better. I was a bass-player from WAAAY back, and still have my first bass, at '69 Fender Precision bass (well, okay, my first bass was actually a Sears Silvertone...wish I still had it now!). But the bass was played hard and I sweat a lot. The original finish was gone in no time. Had it finsihed natural wood (looked crappy), and also white. A few years ago, I sent it in and had it refinsihed in it's like-new 3-color sunburst....and it looks awesome!
Anyway, here's the demo, and I hope it plays withoput a lot of Internet jerkiness:
