Let's see if the 3 phase machines I have been gathering even start up!

Check out Part 1 & 2 and you can see all the work that led to my ability to start up 3 phase monsters!
Part 1 - Preparing for 3 Phase Power here at the shop - youtu.be/bKgyg6Va0c8
Part 2 - Installing a Rotary Phase Converter - youtu.be/qDknqdYLztw

So now that I finally have 3 phase power it's time to start up some of my old monster machines!! I've been collecting them for awhile and been unable to power them up, but not any more!

We'll do the initial start up & overview on these 6 machines:
- Van Norman Duplex Milling Machine No. 2
- Kalamazoo 6"x48" Belt Grinder / Sander
- Lincoln Electric Power Wave 355m with a 25m Power Feed
- Cincinnati Hydrashift 17x54 Engine Lathe
- J.A. Fay 38" Wood Cutting Bandsaw from the 1880's
- J.A. Fay & Egan Universal WoodWorker Setup as an 18" Wood Jointer from around 1900

I have many more to start up and put back to work, but I figured this would be a good start!

I'd love to know your thoughts on this project!
