News Flash!

LONE STAR INDUSTRIES has expanded! 

In 2019, the Lone Star Steam Sawmill opened (video below).



Today, Lone Star Industries opened its Fabrication Shop and Craft Brewery. Like the Sawmill, both are powered by Steam Plants.

The Fabrication Shop includes:

1. A Lathe manufactured by Marklin in Germany in the early 1900s which has been fully restored to working condition.

Measurements are: 7 1/2” L x 3 1/2” W x 5 1/2” H.

2. A Machine Press manufactured by Pericaud in France.

Measurements are: 3 1/2” L x 2” W x 7” H

3. A High Speed Table Saw manufactured by Demon Industries in Australia.

Measurements are: 4 5/8” L x 4 5/8” W x 3 3/4” H

The Steam Plant is a Jensen 25R manufactured in the USA and the Custom Transmission and Chuff Pot were also manufactured by Demon Industries.

The Brewery is a copy of an Ernst Plank design and was manufactured by Russell Snyder in the USA.

Lots of nice stuff there Charlie, I really like that vertical lineshaft  (might be copying that soon 😉) & the table saw looks robust enough to actually cut wood.

I didn't realize the brewery was as small as it is, makes it all that much more impressive with the detail  8)

Charlie, I like how you laid out those tools on one board.  Nice bit of arranging.  Marklin lathe ist sehr schon.  The transmission is an intricate piece of work on its own.

I love this every time I see it & always spot some little Gem that my eye missed before , this time it was that little "Tekno" switch by the table saw, love that little piece.
