The manufacturing industry’s night of nights, the 2019 Victorian Manufacturing Hall of Fame Awards, is a celebration of manufacturing excellence.
W&F Manufacturing of Buffalo, NY manufactured Star Wars candles for birthday cakes under the Wilton brand. The factory could not compete with imports and closed. All molds were sold to a smelter who melted them down. I purchased these molds from him before they were destroyed.
Being that they were from the company archives of molds where they kept only one of each old product mold, these are likely the only ones in existence.

You know that bipedal transportation is impractical in the face of wheels or quadrupeds, but since when have you let others tell you what you can and can't do? Jameson Manufacturing knows that practicality sometimes needs to take a back seat to the pleasure of driving. Thanks to a factory-standard shackled AI combined with the most advanced sensor suite available outside of paramilitary black ops, navigating even the toughest terrain the most inclement of weather is a snap. Be the envy of your friends in the all-new, all-terrain Jameson Gerrida.
I seriously need to find lamps of some sort to illuminate these things in my light box, but I live in an apartment of recent college graduate males which means that things like that tend not to be readily available. Any graininess is due to me having to seriously amp up brightness and contrast because I'm a fool. Also, the design is based on these even if the name came from these. I'd like to think that it's not damaging to my masculinity to build LEGO robots based on kittens, especially if the primary feature borrowed is a pair of hilariously wide-set eyes.

Photograph of a Hydro-Tel lathe manufactured by The Cincinati Milling Machine Co. of Ohio. Part of a collection of photographs from Dean Smith and Grace Ltd. Photographic Department. This photograph carries nothing on the back of it.
Three Keighley engineers, Joseph Dean (1824-1909), James Smith (1834-1906) and John Grace (1840-1904), formed the partnership Dean, Smith & Grace in 1865. The men borrowed money to buy land from the Duke of Devonshire and built the Worth Valley Works. According to their 1889 catalogue, they manufactured machine tools “for locomotive, marine and general engineering, ordnance manufacturers, boilermakers, shipbuilders etc. etc.” and had already procured various government contracts. By 1883 their debts had been cleared and in 1898 the partnership became a limited company.
In the early years of the 20th century, some rebuilding and restructuring took place and the company started to specialise in the manufacture of industrial lathes. Their reach was global, doing trade deals with Australia, Japan, Italy, the Netherlands, Turkey, Spain, Mexico and Argentina.
At the outbreak of World War One, now trading as Dean, Smith & Grace (1908) Ltd., the firm’s efforts were recognised in a letter from Lord Kitchener. The letter, dated 22nd October 1914, acknowledged the importance of the work undertaken by the firm and its employees in playing their part towards the war effort. During this period the company also manufactured breech blocks for guns. From 1938, the firm was run by Sir Harry Smith, James Pearson and Bert Laycock.
During World War Two, Dean, Smith & Grace financed their own Spitfire as part of a nationwide drive to raise money for fighter planes. They produced lathes for all branches of the armed forces, the government’s Ministry of Supply and for the Admiralty, and became one of the first traditionally all-male firms to employ women. At their output peak they were producing 107 machines per month, meaning one-fifth of all the lathes manufactured in this country were coming from Dean, Smith & Grace. In 1948, a new range of lathes was exhibited the Machine Tool Exhibition held at Olympia in London, which led to considerable trade with Canada.
According to advertising from the time, by 1960 they were manufacturing 13” to 30” swing engine lathes, surfacing and boring lathes, and precision tool room lathes. The works at this time boasted many labour-saving devices including mechanised accounting machines, colour-coded signalling systems and index systems for accounts and stores control. Staff benefitted from a superannuation scheme, a canteen (with DSG-stamped cutlery) and a surgery “with sun-ray and infra-red lamps for treatment during working hours”. The company also had its own sports field and pavilion for its cricket team and other sporting activities. The firm boasted of its employee loyalty, recognising long periods of service – in one case over sixty years.
A new foundry in Lawkholme Lane, the Nelson Works, was built between 1962 and 1965. In 1974 the company was sold to US company Monarch Machine Tool Co. The firm then became independent again in 1992, rebranding as DSG Lathes. There was a management buyout in 2005 and former Rolls-Royce engineer Nigel Grainger took over as managing director. He initiated a rebrand and a complete overhaul of the product range, including the launch of new aerospace and pipe lathes. In 2008 the company went into administration and was bought by Newsmith Stainless Ltd. and traded as Dean Smith & Grace Lathes Ltd. In 2012 the company was sold on to Machine Tool Technology Group who in 2015 made the decision to move the firm from Keighley to Halifax.
Dean Smith & Grace is now a Belgrave & Powell Ltd. company operating out of Preston in Lancashire. According to its website “it still develops new machine tools but also offers robotics and automation, CNC retrofitted solutions, rebuilds, machine tool services and breakdown support for all types of machine tools with the same level of professionalism and pride in the name instilled in the business over a 150 years ago”. An example of a Dean, Smith & Grace lathe is held in the Science Museum Group’s collection.
The original photograph measures approximately 260mm by 205mm and is held in the Keighley and District Local History Society's physical archive. It was scanned on behalf of the History Society by Billy Stride in 2021.
As always on train adventures, there is an opportunity to grab other than active railroad shots. The rail siding for an abandoned manufacturing facility around Springdale, Arkansas. At one time it appears some rather heavy items were transported in and out by rail.
On the other side of the technical lab is the manufacturing lab, tended by automated robot arms. Inside six illuminated globes, perfect crystals are being grown for ‘high-tech’ applications back on Earth.
Really lovely crystals in Brava Centauri from Horizons at EPCOT Center. The photo was captured with a Pentax ZX-50 camera and the original negative was scanned using an Epson Perfection V600 photo scanner.
Havilah and Bodfish, Kern County, California. The saloon. Corlew's Silver City - manufactured ghost town. Old buildings from all over the Kern Valley have been hauled in and re-arranged in the form of an old western town.
Corlew's Silver City, Bodfish, Kern County, California. Corlew's Silver City is a not a real ghost town, but a manufactured one. In the sixties and seventies, Dave and Arvilla Mills found several old, historic buildings from all over the Kern Valley region, hauled them to Bodfish and rearranged them to re-create the old western town of Silver City.
While the town itself is not real, nearly all of the buildings are authentic. Brought in from all over the area, from Keyesville to Isabella, from Whiskey Flat to Kernvale - many old towns and mining camps that are just a faded memory, or lost under the waters of nearby Lake Isabella. The Corlew family purchased the attraction and re-opened it in 1992, and have spent many hours restoring the buildings to an authentic state. Some of the buildings include the Isabella Jail, church, hotel, post office, saloon, and more.
Corlew's Silver City is waaaay off the beaten path, tucked away in the southern foothills of the Sierra Nevada mountains, roughly an hour northeast of Bakersfield, a few miles from Lake Isabella. It's a bit of a faded tourist stop, a little worse for wear from the ravages of time - but that's partly by design, because the buildings are meant to be preserved in a state of 'arrested decay'. A bit of tourist-trap kitsch with the creepy mannequin displays, but still worth the visit for old western buffs and history enthusiasts.

College of DuPage recently welcomed more than 200 high school students to campus for the third annual Manufacturing and Engineering Technology Career Expo. Students visited with employers, watched demonstrations and learned about various career paths.
Our bid was just accepted on 6.48 acres of land on the outskirts of Port Townsend. There are some buildings on it, which is great, but the land is where it's at. Six acres with 3 or 4 clearings on it. Most of the land is covered by trees. Front of the property is about 3 city lots wide....then the land meanders up a hill to a cabin waaaaay back there. This is a picture of the manufactured home... you might remember it from about 6 months ago. Picture is of the front of the property towards the road. This home comes with tenants.

THE PLASTER: THE ART MATERIAL MILLENNIUM
Some civilizations have worked plaster for its practical and decorative. Many discoveries has confirmed its usefulness in particular:
- South of Lake Tiberias in Israel, where the floors are coated with plaster since 7000 years before Christ - At the Sumerians and Assyrians
- In Egypt, where blocks of 16 tons are sealed and assembled on the famous pyramid of Cheops high to 2800 BC
- At the Romans who used them to their homes and to achieve casts on nature
- In Gaul after the Roman invasion, where the plaster has been used to replace the huts into homes stronger
- In Merovingian who made an art funeral to VI and VII centuries with more than 2000 sarcophagi found in the Paris Basin.
