Line shaft machine shop
The Mrs wanted to go for a drive so we headed off to visit a friend in a nursing home in Deniliquin then up to Hay the following morning for breaky then over to Mildura then to Swan Hill and then back home, that should keep her off my back for a little while .
Soooo.... at Swan Hill I got in about an hour for a sticky beak at the Pioneer Settlement and took some photo's of the machine shop for you all.
I was talking to one of the blokes that worked there and it seems that they are eager to get someone with a bit of machining knowledge to make parts that they need and also get this lineshaft machine shop operating again.
Yup.... I also had a sticky beak in their workshop, pretty much a mechanical repair workshop but they did have a Demco lathe and Colchester Student, problem is no one there knows how to use them and they (at the moment) can't even make a bronze bush or a bolt.
1st job on the list would be to get up on the roof of the machine shop after everyone has gone home and squirt about a gallon of silicone into the holes in the roof sheets
So if someone here likes that old stuff and old tractors and old engines and can sharpen a chunk of HSS..... they need you
cheers and good luck, shed
