That is gorgeous! Those cover-cover-cover-covers 'clean up' the steam chests a lot. Much more pleasing to the eye. Thanks once again for an awesome video, Quinn! 🙏
Oh hey there Quinn, being Mighty as usual I see. On the purpose of the covers, I have to believe that part of the reason was to protect the insulation lagging that was used to maintain the cylinder temperature. Wouldn’t want cold weather to be robbing your horsepower now I bet. And you also don’t need wet lagging, same principle. And having it protected from the elements, also serves to protect anyone who might come in contact with them, as steam is rumored to be rather warm. Your covers are very nice and close fitting, leaving no space for any lagging, but as it is a model, it will not be a big deal. Nice video, hi from Germany
If you keep a pan full of brass chips you can heat blue small parts made of steel. Gets a beautiful color and very easy. I do watch screws all the time.
The round covers with the small centre hole - I recently made 2 almost identical parts, slightly bigger centre hole - from white nylon - replacement hinge covers for my toilet seat - the (allegedly) stainless covers had rusted/corroded.
When it comes to vehicle aerodynamics, the critical speed is about 45 mph. Below this speed the majority of energy loss comes from engine inefficiency and friction. As you pass above this speed the aerodynamic drag becomes more and more of a significant contribution. That contribution grows quickly because it’s a function of the square of the air speed. The difference between 25 mph and 80 mph is ten times the aerodynamic energy loss.
I don't know why but I assumed you were going to do tiny sheet metal forming, welding and polishing haha, those covers look exactly like some of the stainless button boxes I make for lifts
Cute Acorn cover nut. I use your same method of bandsaw cuts and finish on the mill when I made plastic do-dads with melted milk jug and coffee tubs. What are you drinking - you call a steam engine a 'boat'?
Self sealing stem bolts? I know two guys who got plenty more of them, but, it's not like just around the corner. Live long and prosper, greetings from Germany, Marcus
1:10 , regarding branding Aesthetics are also more than just branding. During the industrial revolution, machine builders and owners were tremendously proud of their powerful new machines. In Arnold Pacey's book "Technology in World Civilization", he relays two different anecdotes: Page 165: machine builders added unnecessary decorative details to their machines, indicating tremendous pride in them. Water mills for grinding flour from the 1700s and 1800s were covered in decorative curves and mouldings, even on the inside of the mechanism where nobody could see them. Page 167: in 1801, a new steam engine was installed in an ironworks in Shropshire. The owner was so proud of his machine that he hired a woman to clean it more than once a day and "to keep the ironwork well-blacked." People in the industrial revolution seemed to have been more proud of the symbolism of their novel, modern, and powerful machines than modern people are (we take them for granted).
wouldn't a fence help keep the stock straight when you're on the bandsaw? That would reduce the amount of extra thickness you have to leave on the part.
The point about aesthetics is as far as I know very true, though it's also true it's to make it easier to clean as that was a crucial point of the aesthetic; Victorians saw steam engines as filthy dangerous things and so a lot of effort was put in to make them look clean, sleek, and modern. it's why a lot of railways in and around London were electrified in the 19th century and why it was made law that locomotives must "consume their own smoke". We look now back at locomotives of the time as these bizarre things of shining brass and elaborate liveries, even freight locomotives were designed to look clean, and it was all marketing to counter assumptions of grime and soot. (it also helped that labour was cheap and that company attitudes towards staff was more to train people up, cleaner was a career starting job towards many other roles in the railway rather than the hire-fire role of today)
“Castles to Warships” by Jack Gardner describes his career starting from being a firebox cleaner to becoming a stoker, driver (and eventually instructor). Excellent book if you're interested in British railways in the mid-20th century.
I just watched a video of a guy flying from Canada to Misano Italy for a MotoGP race under the very tax deductible guise of teaching something about motorcycle stability. So, don't be afraid to go do some live shots of some locomotives if you are so inclined.
Self sealing stem bolt. Nice reference, Lieutenant Commander Dunki. 🖖
I would not have expected those covers to make that much of a difference, but they really do!
I love your consistently steamy content!
I saw the self-sealing-stem-bolt joke coming, but was still unprepared for it when it landed. 🤣
Your videos just keep improving. Seriously amazing!
That is gorgeous! Those cover-cover-cover-covers 'clean up' the steam chests a lot. Much more pleasing to the eye. Thanks once again for an awesome video, Quinn! 🙏
Definitely looking like a boat now...
Thanks Quinn
They do indeed tie the room together. Well done.
Thanks for the tip on cutting corner radii on the mill.
A great video. Once again you’ve done a great job covering the work.
Really enjoy your videos , thank you Quinn
Thanks for the round-over tip.

I love those covers you made! That collet chuck is just the job.
I always enjoy your steamy content 🙂
Ooooh yess 😏 that steamy content! 🥵🚂
Those covers look fantastic! Such great work as always.
0:35 oh no she's stuck in a loop
Outstanding machine work. You are one of the best!
The JayNog Consortium supplies self-sealing stembolts.
nice love the radius in the mill tip..
An old trick for cutting straight along a line is to scribe two lines parallel and just over the width of the saw blade. Like having lane markers.

Looks awesome!!!

That intro; Ms. Hacks, do you smell burnt toast?
Always makes my day!

Here i am at 4am on a Sunday morning just after this download. Am i mad or keen?😊😊
Addicted!😉🖖
I call my two-flute center-cutting endmill Robert…thats common in Ireland 🇮🇪❤

today the penny dropped!
you are the youtube sister of This Old Tony :)
have a great day and we are nearing completion with every new video :)
tc
At least you got that covered...
another great video. thank you
You know, I've got too much Yamok sauce. I'd be very happy to trade it for a large shipment of those self-sealing stem bolts...

More steamy content! More steamy content!

Those chamfers 😍
Neat!
Are you planning on nickel-plating them?
Remember: there's no noun that can't be verbed. Fatiguing is fine😂

I call it a 4 - 2 end flute 👍
I got so steamed up I had to unfog my glasses
Since you brought up the Big Boy.....future project? :D

Yay!
If known can you share the make/model of the calipers shown at this time please 1:53. I see them in a lot of your posts and want a pair for myself.
If you’re willing to make more of those self-sealing stem bolts…. say… 100 gross, I have 5,000 wrappages of yamok sauce I’d be happy to trade!
But can I buy one hundred gross of your self sealing stem bolts for 7 tessipates of land? (Beautiful work as always though :D )
The end after 19 min 😢omg it will be a long week 😊
All is good in the world …(well, it isn’t but you know what I mean, meaning what I know, if you know, you know…?)❤
How many covers could a steam chest cover cover if a steam chest cover could cover covers.
So the covers covers covers covers got covered in oil?
Steamy!! 😛🔥
covers covers covers ... 😂
👍😎
Royal Hudson 2860
Gave up after 3rd round of covers.
It’s almost a shame that all this gorgeous brass is going to be painted
First! Yay me!!
Woohoo
Tea have tea....
Watching this video together, my boyfriend asked: "Can we do it the same way?" I laughed and replied, "Only if we don't break the bed!😚
