Keep on with the wafflin' Ade. Plenty seriousness to go around these days. You're part of our relief from that. Keep up the great work, projects and videos. Every day is a very interesting school day with you 👍
That bottom tap must have been designed by a committee! I’ve never seen a bottom tap with a point! Seems like it defeats the purpose!Great vid as always Ade! 10,000 is coming! Really enjoying the Stuart build! I just finished my first model engine yesterday, a PMR (US) #3 that looks very similar to yours. I’ll be doing another model soon, and I hope you follow suit! Thanks for your effort! I’m hoping this hobby will keep this 61 year old from aging! Ha!
Your commentary on your thought processes and procedures should not be called waffle it is actually very helpful and entertaining. BA was adopted from a Swiss metric thread system so using M6 may have been a more appropriate choice. Ade it is your model feel free to use what ever thread form you want to use. I work on clocks some made before standardized threads (thank you Mr Whitworth) and in the one clock, nuts can not always be used in alternative locations a stripped thread means making new parts in the closest adaptable thread often BA other times metric in an American clock. Older English and many French clocks mostly used taper pins. Keep up the good work. The tap buttons are a really good idea for the fine taps.
Great video Ade as usual the engine is coming along marvellously been a subscriber to your channel from the beginning and love your enthusiasm and positive attitude it has helped me with my mental health issues and got me back into using my lathe thanks for sharing your works stay safe all the best god bless
I identify with the creaking joints, but mine are in my back. The last time I tapped BA, it was 10BA, I was an apprentice, 45 or so years ago. The boldness of youth meant I did it without guidance. The watchmakers do much of their tapping in their hands! Nice work as usual, Ade
G'day Abe's and greetings from Tasmania Australia 🇦🇺 thank you for explaining how you use the DRO you made it easy to understand a big thank you kind regards John
Love these videos! I have none of the machines, and none of the skill, but I love watching skilled people making interesting things! Its very relaxing! Cymru am byth!
G'day Ade. Great to see you "Getting it Done" mate. Nice to know you like the Aussie brand "Fosters Beer". It seems to be drunk everywhere else in the world, but not much in Australia 🤣. Cheers, Aaron.
I prefer the commentary. As a total noob with tool making every bit helps. I wanted to do a tool making apprenticeship, alas my parents wouldn't let me (to working class for them).
4:36AM EAST COAST USA JUST GOT UP To Exercise my prostate, and look who’s on TH-cam. I couldn’t think of a better reason to stay up and come out into the shop.
Dear Ade Another excellent video. With respect to a source of imperial (non BA) miniature steam fittings and related "plumbing" in Britain, may I suggest you look up the website for Forest Classics. They are a UK company that amongst many brand names, sells the imperial sized miniature brass steam fittings made by PM Research in the U.S. Keith Appleton has used these parts in many of his projects and speaks very highly of them. Regards from Canada, Paul.
I definitely don't mind the bang bang type video - it surely gets your goat having to make some thing to continue on with the current job - I do that all the bloody time...
love your vids! for that final push, go on YT community and post a poll, just a simple yes/no question about literally anything and YT rewards the creator with more and higher recommendations to the public and you'll end up getting 1-2k subs in just a couple days
Ade I always hit the thumbs up button, I can not remember now how far you were along when I subscribed, it may well have been before you got to one thousand, but it was certainly before your 2500 th subscriber certainly. I would encourage any one with an interest in machining to watch and subscribe to your channel , because mate you are a Welsh legend! Hope you get the ten thou very soon mate! Watching it more Ade, the RGD taps are usual Chinese crap and not to have a centre point or a centre hole is sacrilege to a true engineer! But having a point on a plug or bottoming tap is totally useless and should be ground off flat to almost the total length of the full thread or you are not going to get a thread to the depth you want. Don't RGD understand that? I could say more but I would get into big trouble lol. I hope you get your ten thousand subscribers very soon mate! Cheers !
Great video Ade, I came for the cylinder and got more so like the format. It shows how sometimes you need to make parts as you go along. Not bothered either way with or without commentary. A picture paints a thousand words so they say and they are in whatever language you know 😂.
Great series Ade. I have never done a kit like this, but it is on my list to do one day. I'm sure you probably do this, when I break a tap (which happens more than I'd like) I file/grind the end flat to reach the bottoms of the shallow holes. It has worked really well for me. Also, those buttons are a fantastic idea, I never thought to make one for each size and mark them like you did, and to add the center for the tap follower is a great feature. Thanks for all you do! I'll keep cheering you on as you head to the 10K mark. Cheers from Canada
I enjoy both of your video presentation methods. The tap button version was ideal as there were no new techniques (it was obvious, to me, what you were doing) but the production sequence was interesting. Keep them coming Ade and hopefully 10,000 soon.
Hi Ade, rather annoying to get taps with neither a point or a centre hole. I'd have thought they would aid manufacturing apart from anything else. Yes, grind the point off the tap. Done it many times
Do that kind of tapping all the time on my drillpress as I don't have a mill. Hand turning with me applying pressure with the handle. Will be straight anyways
Making a tool is what you need to be able to do when you need to do the job right. And now you have the right tool for that size tap. Much faster next time you tap that size. If you make something metric that is called inch/fraction, I won't tell. Not that I can see the difference while it spins.
Hi Ade, Yeah nice and relaxed , I personally think a mix of the two Ades is good . Bit of a double whammy!! I'm about to buy a mill Ade, really like the look of the one you have ,what is it if you don,t mind me asking and what's your opinion of it ? Looking forward to next installment, great job, I have no doubt that you will make the 10k very soon. quality always shows out! Regards Mike
Enjoyed watching as always. Were did you get the knurling tool from & would you recommend it ? Looking at one for my lathe. Also what size is the shank? Cheers
Hi Ade, the machinists I watch are Ades Workshop, Clickspring and Abom79, who do you watch? Dont try too hard mate, you might crush the joy, we like you just how you are.
Hi Steve . Adam and Clickspring are Awesome . I am in good company with those two . Check out Tom at Oxtool and Doubleboost . I watch so many different channels that have no engineering link . Cheers Ade.
Arem't the flutes on the reamer larger diameter than the shank? If so, using it at a spacer would create a taper in the machined side of the cylinder block, NO? What am I missing?
Hello, Ade. I do not wish to be nasty, but may I warn you that if you do come out to Australia, you will not find that Fosters is well regarded at all. In general it gets compared to the products of diseased kidneys. But, you drink what you wish. Thanks for the video.
I totally agree that it is piss water. but it is cheap and almost impossible to get drunk on it. I would not drink it in a pub when they finally open again . I do treat myself to a better quality drink on weekends . "Cheers" Ade.
Ade, have a look at ajreeves.com an old well established British company for steam model enginnering bits. You may find yourself building a model steam loco if you stay on it too long😄
Great work as usual Ade, been with you all the way and enjoyed every minute, would sub again if I could, you will soon be there and richly deserved. Cheers, Jon

Hello Ade, today it’s just 30 to go, nicely done! I truly enjoy your style, especially the confidence you bring to each task. The pace is just super.

10,000? Blimey, that's more than the entire population of Wales...
Nice job on the button. My grandfather was Welsh and had the same tenacity. Don't have, will make it right now.
I prefer the commentary. As a total noob with tool making every bit helps. I wanted to do a tool making apprenticeship, alas my parents wouldn't let me (to working class for them).
Need a tool? Got a lathe? Make a tool! Gonna make myself some of your brass button thread holders 👍😀
So, by my calculations, you have 14 cans left.lol.
Great vlog as per usual. Congratulations on the subscriber count.
Thanks for sharing.
I am very much looking forward to the completion of this little steamer :)
Hi Ade. Would love to see you build a. Rotary broach, not from a kit but from scratch so we could all follow.
I definitely enjoyed the button tap wrench

Nice job Ade, what I like about this game is if you haven't got quite the right tool then you just make one. Again thanks Ade. Regards Gareth
Brilliant work there Ade, Keep it up, and roll on the 10,000 subs.
love your vids!

As usual you are my go to man in the mini machine shop. Always enjoy the videos Ade. A lovely way to to end the day.Plenty to learn from. God bless.
Love the way you just get to it, no fuss...no muss....just clear step by step perfection!
When I heard the 'Ugh" and you brought out the bar stock I LOLed. I've been down that road many times. Thanks for the great content Ade !
Keep it up Aide. Enjoying the vids.

Gday Ades, great job, good to see enjoying a cold beer, throughly enjoyed watching mate, Cheers Matty

Im making some buttons for all my BA Taps thanks for the idea
Great job, I love that you explain what and why you do things! And the note on your sticker board from your child made me smile:)
She is 24 and did it in permanent marker . I can't bring myself to remove it as she lives away now and I miss her . Cheers Ade.
@@ade63dug I have something similar taped to my monitor. Keep that forever. Cheers.
Hell of a long time since I tapped anything as small as 8BA, very nicely done Ade.
G'day Ades I'm a new subscriber I like how you explain what you are doing and the friendly nature that you have, kind regards John
Thanks for the video Ade. Pity I can only sub once. I remember the very beginning. Keep safe and stay well.
Hi Ade, rather annoying to get taps with neither a point or a centre hole. I'd have thought they would aid manufacturing apart from anything else. Yes, grind the point off the tap. Done it many times
Coming along nicely, it's good to be able to make your own tools as you go along Thank you
Do that kind of tapping all the time on my drillpress as I don't have a mill. Hand turning with me applying pressure with the handle. Will be straight anyways
For steam fittings try Blackgates Engineering in Yorkshire
Enjoyed that, keep up the waffle I think it adds something hearing those Welsh tones.
beautiful work
Well done mate, like your nattering to be honest as it gives me ideas on what to do. Been watching since the 180 set up as I use the 180 as well 👍
Now I need to make a few tapping buttons for my smaller taps.
Yes I liked the style of your making that little button.
Fantastic so far!
I like. good luck with the 10K Ade you deserve it 👍
Have you thought about fabricating a boiler for your engine, Ade?
Making a tool is what you need to be able to do when you need to do the job right. And now you have the right tool for that size tap. Much faster next time you tap that size.
If you make something metric that is called inch/fraction, I won't tell. Not that I can see the difference while it spins.
Thanks Ade, I was wondering when you should use cutting-fluid/lubrication when doing those little taps?
Hi Graeme. Generally no lube is needed for cast Iron or brass . I would certainly use it with any steels . Cheers Ade.
Thanks Ade
Dont change the Ade style mate. Thats why we watch!
Hi Ade, Yeah nice and relaxed , I personally think a mix of the two Ades is good . Bit of a double whammy!!

Hi Mike . It is the Warco WM16B . I am very pleased with it . Cheers Ade.
Enjoyed watching as always. Were did you get the knurling tool from & would you recommend it ? Looking at one for my lathe. Also what size is the shank? Cheers
I made it in an earlier series . works great . Cheers Ade.
@@ade63dug thanks
Good morning Ade, just a quick question mate, what happened to part 10?
I spoke too soon as you did not designate it anywhere on the videos listing, most confusing.
Good point . I just changed it . getting ahead of myself . Cheers Ade.
HI ADE, I LIKE TO HEAR YOU WWWWWWWWWWAFFFFEL ONNNNNNN. REGARDS RICHARD .

@@ade63dug thanks and you are in the correct company
Arem't the flutes on the reamer larger diameter than the shank? If so, using it at a spacer would create a taper in the machined side of the cylinder block, NO? What am I missing?
I checked out that the reamer shank was parallel to the flutes first . Otherwise you would have a taper as you stated. Cheers Ade.
figured you had it covered and it was just the camera angle. Really enjoying your machine work. Thanks.
All the same to me Ade, you can do quite or narrated videos. Or mix it up a bit...
All the Oohs, Aahs and grunts are starting to make you sound like AVE. That way lies madness :)
I enjoy the waffle Ade.
Hello, Ade. I do not wish to be nasty, but may I warn you that if you do come out to Australia, you will not find that Fosters is well regarded at all. In general it gets compared to the products of diseased kidneys. But, you drink what you wish. Thanks for the video.
I totally agree that it is piss water. but it is cheap and almost impossible to get drunk on it. I would not drink it in a pub when they finally open again . I do treat myself to a better quality drink on weekends . "Cheers" Ade.
@@ade63dug Thanks, Ade - made me laugh ....

Great work as usual Ade, been with you all the way and enjoyed every minute, would sub again if I could, you will soon be there and richly deserved. Cheers, Jon
