Great looking square to rounds and elbows.
I’ve definitely used some furnace cabinets for parts before. Reuse 
What type of elbow edger are you using for the gores?
Pexto rolls.
Very cool sir.
Peck stow & Wilcox number 4, it’s an open frame model.
How old do you think that one is…1910?
A lot of the newer style ones are encasement frames.
Vintage cast iron sheet metal working equipment is one of my other interests, I have quite a collection of books and iron.
A Niagara burring machine and it looks like some brand of a groove seam setting machine, is that a Niagara as well? I think they’re both copies of the peck stow & Wilcox series
And that lockformer is the top of the line for a Pittsburgh is that a Rams or a tennSmith flanging attachment on there.
Your rollers look like a nice vintage set too. are they Gap style that open up?
I have one of those same stakes too they still sell that exact same stake brand new on the Roper Whitney site. (Edit; I just checked the Roper Whitney site and they took all their forming stakes off it must have been recent cuz I just looked the other day. https://www.roperwhitney.com/product-category/hand-tools/forming-stakes-and-accessories/ )
Lots of good stuff there.
It opens up, I’ll get some names and ages on them.
I have many stakes and a plate, all floating around. I’m thinking of doing some tinsmithing, cups and such, if I ever get time.

You guys are making me smile!! It’s fun to “listen in” on other trades guys throwing around names/model numbers like us carpenters would about tools equipment used in our trade… I have no idea what you two are talking about but, fun to read along!! You can tell you both really know your work!!
