Machine Shop Tour

After all these years, I can hardly believe I have a machine shop of my own. Last video you saw how we moved all these industrial machines, but we didn’t talk much about what they actually are. So let’s take a shop tour! Here I break down the four “big” machines including the vertical milling machine, engine lathe, surface grinder, and metal cutting bandsaw. I’ll be going over the other equipment including the granite surface block, drafting machine, drafting table, sandblasting cabinet, parts washer, and more. You’ll also see the shop I built for all these tools, the wood stove heating I installed to make the frigid winters bearable, and the shop dehumidifier for keeping the tools moisture and rust free.

Guided Tours of the W.A. Young & Sons Foundry and Machine Shop

Step back in time to the early 1900s and discover the artistry of handcrafted manufacturing.

A visit to W.A. Young & Sons is a step back in time! Nestled in the historic district of Rices Landing, Greene County, the Machine Shop is an astonishing industrial treasure.

Built in 1900, the shop produced parts for steamboats, coal mines, railroads, and supported local small businesses. When it closed in 1965, the building was locked and all of its tools and equipment were left in place—perfectly preserving its line shaft driven, 25-machine network for future generations.

Visitors tour the blacksmith shop, pattern shop, hardware store, and foundry—and marvel as the machines are switched on during a live demonstration of this turn-of-the-last century technology!

Hours & Admission*

Guided tours of the Machine Shop are available most Sundays, from May through November.

General Admission  

*Tours are limited to 10 participants. Tickets must be purchased in advance. Guests will be required to show their electronic or paper tickets for admission. No tickets will be sold at the door.

"Wonderful tour and blacksmithing demo! Excellent photography stop, highly recommend."—Bonnie Joy Massey, Google Review, 2021

What to Know Before You Go

As a former industrial site, there are a few things to keep in mind to ensure an enjoyable visit.

• What to wear: Dress for the weather. The building is not temperature controlled. Additionally, the ground and flooring are uneven—sensible shoes are a must. Sneakers or boots are recommended. Open-toed shoes and high heels are prohibited.
• Restrooms & concessions: The antiquity of the site is certainly part of its charm. However, that limits the creature comforts many of us are accustomed to, like running water. Restrooms are available at the park near the entrance to Water Street. Food amenities are generally not available.
• Photography: Photography is permitted. For safety reasons, videography and drones are prohibited.
• Accessibility: This National Historic Landmark is generally not fully accessible, but can meet some patrons’ needs. Contact [email protected] to inquire.
• COVID-19 Policies: Please be advised of our  current COVID-19 policies.  
• Liability: By purchasing admission tickets, all visitors are required to sign a liability waiver and consent to be photographed (PDF) .
• Admission: Site access is limited to guided tours, workshops, and events. Unless otherwise noted, all admissions are ticketed.
• Duration : Please allow one hour for your tour.
• Location & GPS: The Machine Shop is located at 114 Water Street, Rices Landing, PA 15357. The historic town of Rices Landing is located in a valley where cell service can be limited. You may not want to rely on your GPS.
• Parking:  Guests are welcome to park in the parking lot near the entrance of Water Street, on the left side before rounding the bend. From there the walk to the the Machine Shop is 400 feet and has a slight incline. Guest with limited mobility may be dropped off near the front of the building, but please be advised that turnaround space can be limited directly in front of the Shop.
• Children: While kids of all ages are welcome, the tour content is recommended for children ages 8+.

Thank you for following these guidelines. We wish you to have the best visit possible and appreciate your patience as we continue to improve the visitor experience.

The Moscow Metro is the third most intensive subway system in the world after Tokyo and Seoul subways. The first line was opened on May 15, 1935. Since 1955, the metro has the name of V.I. Lenin.

The system consists of 12 lines with a total length of 305.7 km. Forty four stations are recognized cultural heritage. The largest passenger traffic is in rush hours from 8:00 to 9:00 and from 18:00 to 19:00.

Cellular communication is available on most of the stations of the Moscow Metro. In March 2012, a free Wi-Fi appeared in the Circle Line train. The Moscow Metro is open to passengers from 5:20 to 01:00. The average interval between trains is 2.5 minutes.

Machine Shop Tours: The Machining Center

Our machine shop tours continue. Next destination: The Machining Center. Paul Vreugdenhil opened the doors of their big shop and introduced us to their talented machinists.

To use the words of Paul Vreugdenhil, the operations manager at The Machining Center, variety is what characterized the large machining and fabrication shop located in Belleville, ON.

The facility serves a variety of manufacturing sectors and manufactures a large variety of parts in many types of materials. Their machinists and fabricators enjoy working on ferrous and non-ferrous materials and enjoy being challenged to be flexible and use problem-solving skills to be efficient in their work.

The Machining Center is a full-service facility that offers design, including a licensed engineer, right through fabrication, machining, assembly, and installs. Their customers depend on their admin skills to manage their info and to be able to reproduce parts that we previously made even 20-30 years ago.

What really makes The Machining Center is their employees and their ability to using their trade skills to produce any part.

The company is always accepting resumes and willing to add customers (even on single parts or prototype work).

To learn more about the Machining Center, visit their website  or follow their popular Instagram pages: The Machining Center & The Fabricating Center
