Great points on Jason's video and content quality, I would love to have that bench vise he built!

This video is very nostalgic. At work, we bought a couple of machines from Carr. Our Monarch 62 is the lathe at the lower left corner. Just behind the yellow double pulley at 3:00 is the 54” Webster Bennet we bought.He had maybe a dozen Monarchs, half a dozen Cincinnati mills. The one in the video isn’t the biggest one Carr had. Carr had a Cincinatti boring mill with a 16ft x 12ft table. It could drill a 12” hole end-to-end through a Dodge Ram. Carr’s shop was a machinist’s wet dream. All old iron, all meticulously rebuilt.

So what did Carr build? Death Stars?? Some pretty serious heavy metal.

A machinists’ machinist. I think he did lots of pulp mill and shipyard stuff. Also had the sweetest model train track and engines running around the perimeter of the shop yard. He taught a lot of apprentices over the years. He collected old gear, when he closed the business he probably had 100 + machines in his shop and outbuildings. From memory, I think we paid about $8k for the Webster Bennet, so pretty reasonable price. The Monarch was $12K, also a good price. I don’t know what happened to the rest of the gear, although Lenmark Industries in Langley, BC still show some of the stuff on their website.
