This is a fairly long video ( almost 15 minutes) but it is fascinating to watch. All of the equipment in this wooden box making factory is powered by steam. It is still in operation and the machinery is quite innovative for its age. Not necessarily OSHA approved but I hope things like this are preserved so future generations can see this: http://www.youtube.com/v/_mKSKZau9qs

Pretty amazing. I used to work in a box factory as a young man and even though that was approximately 60 years ago it would have been considered modern by the standards of this steam powered plant. A fun video to watch.
Best Regards,

Fascinating indeed. And the production was quite good.
Measure twice, cut three times, start over. Repeat as necessary.

You may need to update your Adobe Flash player.I am not able to watch the movie, an ERROR OCCUR
Go to Adobe.com and download the latest version.
Just be careful to uncheck the box that says install Chrome (unless you want it installed), otherwise it wll install Google Chrome as your browser and make it your default browser.

Some versions of Adobe Flash Player try to install Mcafee which can screw up your computer if you already have a different virus protection program running. Watch for the box to uncheck during the update process.Originally Posted by Rich Engelhardt

Cool Video.. That digital temp gauge must have been one of the turn of the century models..
Kinda figured they would just wet a finger and check the sizzle like my mother used to do with her iron..
Epilog 24TT(somewhere between 35-45 watts), CorelX4, Photograv(the old one, it works!), HotStamping, Pantograph, Vulcanizer, PolymerPlatemaker, Sandblasting Cabinet, and a 30 year collection of Assorted 'Junque'
Every time you make a typo, the errorists win
I Have to think outside the box.. I don't fit in it anymore
Experience is a wonderful thing.
It enables you to recognize a mistake when you make it again.
Every silver lining has a cloud around it
Absolutely fascinating. Thanks so much for posting. Very well done video, great sound and music, good lighting and videography. Any narration would have ruined it. I loved the dog, he knew exactly where not to put his tail. Best listened to with a good set of earphones.

Maybe from experience? It looked like he had about half of a tail to me!

Loved the video. It was an interesting process. In my day job I am a safety manager so there was a lot there that made me cringe and I'm sure most of you saw it too. The one thing that really gave me the heebie jeebies was the long hair around all the pulleys and belts.
Contributor
Very cool! Kind of scary though, seeing someone working around those spinning wheels, belts etc with long, loose hair flying around. I guess if common sense were more common, we wouldn't need agencies like OSHA.
Contributor
I am a bit surprised OSHA hasn't shut that place down already. Sure, I think what they are doing is really cool, but how could they pass an OSHA inspection? I have to imagine that OSHA doesn't grandfather in old stuff like that.

Loved it and I, too, wondered about:
(1) Dog's rather short tail
(2) Woman's rather long hair
(3) Exposed gears spinning at mach 6
(4) Exposed wiring
I heard Led Zeppelin in the background...that works!!!
What?! No dovetails??
OSHA would have a field day but I loved it...simply AWESOME!!
