Comment for the algorithm 👍👍

Some delicate parts were made in this one. Nice. And they fit!

I see the plans are being extensively utilised 😂

Top bloody job mate, almost see the end in sight, cheers

Looking good! On the home straight now, and i know what you mean about the dreaded shopping trips!

Fantastic job building this steam engine. Against doctors orders I have been doing a little work in my shop. I'm just sick and tired of sitting around doing nothing. Hopefully we will see this engine running next week. Thanks for sharing the video.

The Stuart slide valve in the kit is fully finished and doesn't need any machining, so that might explain why there were few dimensions on the drawings. I think it was a stamped bronze part. Regards, Preso

Good job on the Compound slide Dave. I have been doing up an ancient very small lathe that did not have a compound slide so not having a milling machine I have had the Dovetails cut elsewhere. However, the cost being through the roof I have nearly finished building it but nowhere in the same class of compound slide of yours as everything has to be filed to size and never looks as good as a milled piece of steel but it will do me. I have to lol at this Compound slide because it is the newest piece on the lathe and I guess it will look out of place as everything else is cast iron 1930's style. This lathe does not have thread cutting means but It will cut replacement gears as I am making a gear milling attachment that fits on a vertical slide which you can get quite cheaply for small lathes on eBay. Anyway, what I need it for is only very small stuff as in small cannons and model-type stuff. Maybe you will think why did I not buy a compound slide of Ebay? The reason is I had no room to fit the one off eBay and so maybe I may put up a video of the cross slide and how small in-depth it had to be strong also. *A question about your tool post holder. Is your tool post made of anodized Aluminium which it appears to be as it looks exactly like the one I bought of the Temu. I thought it must have been at least all the black colors to be metal but they are not. As long as it works I don't really care about that as I had said before what I am machining is very light using hand feed and slow speeds and nice sharp HSS. HSS takes longer, but you can obtain a shiny finish if you sharpen the tool steel correctly. Maybe one day I will put up a video about how I do it and you will be amazed at what is required to get a good finish on metal using patience. A lot of it has to do with what type of metal you are turning of course. Cheers Gary

What sort of leadscrew was in there? Ive got an M10 x 1 in mine and I like the idea of a ACME style one.

Great job, would you consider doing a video of where you live I’ll bet it’s nice

Nice work on the crankshaft. You are getting there with the build.

Only bloke i know who builds a steam engine and gets plans 3/4 of the way through 😅

Yep, the cranckshaft really is a perfect fin in the bearings. Nice job.

Great job 👏 and glad see you back at it, we had parts of Hurricane Helene wipe out alot of unfortunate folks, destroyed our communication systems and was without power for over week, our exact area faired better than others 😢, some places wiped off face of the earth and sad 😔 but feeling blessed and trying help folks when we are able!

Great job. When I worked in England I had to turn a new crankshaft for a power press. I turned the crankpin wrong as it was 200 thou out of position and the bearing cap was fouling under the press so I milled 250 thou off the top of the bearing cap lol

I don't blame you for taking it easy mate. take your time

Looking great. Very nice engine. Great work sir.

Colour me impressed mate. First episode I thought this is going to be laughable.. consider my hat eaten! 😉

You are almost there. Hope to see it running next week. Thanks for sharing the video.

Top job as always

Hi it is get there and looking good till next Video from Brian w.germany

Hi Paul, another cracker job mate. Sorry to hear about those pesky health issues. Seemed to have carried over into Part 5 with a few annoying machining issues. Am enjoying watching all this falling into place. Keep up the good content. From your Ausy friend and ex fitter and Turner.

I did wonder if you were going a bit hard on that tap, then it snapped and answered that question.

Comment for algorithm engagement 👍👍

Top job mate, cheers

Just a silly idea but I wonder if you changed the handle on one of the cranks to a different shape. Maybe square stock. That way, it would feel different when you are watching the part. 😊

The TH-cam algorilla said I would like your channel yesterday. I watched the two episodes then, and now I'm about to finish with the third. I'm glad I found it. Thank you for bringing us along. 😊

Nicely done shame about the booboo mate but you will make it work i have no doubt.

Paul, I wonder if you wrapped the Y handwheel with cord (or some other tactile indicator), whether that would make it gel that you are on the wrong wheel.

I'm thoroughly enjoying watching your trials and tribulations. The videos are very watchable, and I do love a good steam engine build.

Cranking the wrong handwheel, I know exactly what it feels like :)

I have found not to break the chip on spiral flute taps, but if you do back completely out. Small chips really bind them up fast.

Very nice work. It looks like a great project

Coming right along. You aren't the only one that makes those little boo boos as I have done plenty in my 75 years. Anyone that claims they never mistakes are just not truthful. Thanks for sharing the video with us.

Hi Nice work and I hope all will be ok just look after your self and your familiy From Brian west germany

These projects are quite involved with lots of little intricate bits that take a lot of time to get right. I admire your patience.

40 min to adjust an angle plate... luckilly it's just a hobby :)

Love the way you give yourself a b011ocking when something goes wrong 😂

That engine is starting to look great now

Looking good. To grip that cylinder end cap glue it to a mandrel and then add heat to release later. Cheers Rob

Gday, awesome job and making good progress, when I made the Webster engines I build a lap for doing the cylinders, worked well in cast iron with diamond paste, cheers

I love the little machine shop and have ordered from them a few times. They have some great references and calculators. I wish my wife would let me order more!!

Awesome build. I like how you do it your way. That is exactly the way I work. I do it my way with what I have on hand. It always works fine for me. Thanks for posting the video.

Very nice work sir. I like the style of that engine. Just finishing my first engine now,so maybe in the future I’ll try my hand at a similar engine.

9:19 are you using a DRO while you milling out the part? If so, you obviously don’t need the layout lines but as a viewer I find that’s very helpful while watching. I took a machining class a during Covid because I got laid off. During that class, I still used layout lines with my parts - manual or CNC machining. I found it very useful. Sorry your delivery is worse than snail mail. I take it for granted when Amazon needs several days before delivery.

That was lucky you can't see the slight mistake. Really enjoying this one 👍
