A kit like this could very well inspire a young person to embark on the hobby of building their own engines, or other machines, from scratch. That in turn could lead to a career in engineering. This is a good way to "prime the pump" so as to develop an interest in mechanical things and how they are made. Thank you for making this video.
Sam, the same thought occurred to me after drooling on the screen for awhile. Grandkids! They'd be better at those tiny screws too!
$300 is actually not bad when compared to what an unmachined kit would cost. Thanks for all the effort you put into these videos!
What effort he is doing this for money, he got the engine for free so that he can promote it on his sight and they he is getting money from TH-cam👎👎👎
I can tell you right now that you should plan on making that 4th video on how the governor works.. Some of us know how they work, but it would make great content, and be a good refresher to some, and introduction for others.
Yes,agreed
Very interesting. I can't wait to see the theory behind how that governor works. Great video, Mr Pete.
Beautiful beam steam engine machine.Good memories 60 years ago.Thank you.
What a lovely little model, looks like it's very well made for the price. Looking forward to seeing it run under steam in the next video. Thanks for sharing this Mrpete 👍👍👍
This will bring out the latent engineer in every boy and quite a few girls as well. Great introduction to the wonderful world of metal and steam.
Thanks Mr Pete for all you do! The price isn’t that bad for all you get and the quality of the parts!
Very well made, and a true piece of art.
Thank you, Mr. Pete! I just finished this model a couple of days ago, and I thought I was short one set screw for the flywheel. As one who doesn't read directions closely, I did not know the set crew was already in place. Looking forward to your explanation of the governor. Cheers!
👍
Fastest steam engine build on this channel. I am excited to see this one run as well.
Nice looking thing. I think that I'd want some hose clamps on that silicone tubing, otherwise i could see them come flying off under heat and steam pressure and emptying the contents of the boiler all over the workshop...
That's a beautifully made engine, thank you for sharing!! Great video!!
There is a lot of attention to detail to make this more that just utilitarian. I love the little brass spoked knob/wheel on top of the boiler.
Gosh this little engine is a thing of beauty,thanks for sharing this with Us🤗😎🤗😎
You spoke to the beauty of the Victorian age, I hope you've seen the British steam sewage pumping stations from that era, several videos on here.
I have
Hello Lyle, what a beautifully made little engine. It looks like it has been designed and made with pride, probably in China by the writing, could be Japanese. Stunning, can't wait to see it running.
No its Chinese if it was made in Japan it would cost more:-))
Wow! What an incredible kit. The attention to detail makes me smile. this will definitely be on my wish list.
Thank you for posting. I really enjoy your steam related videos.
Beautiful little engine!
Love steam engines.
Very nice, Lyle. Just wanted to say a quick thank-you for your previous tip on how to find the Elmer's Engine book on-line. Coincidentally, I just finished the beam engine from that book. Fun project. Runs great and a beautiful display piece. Thanks again!
I would like to build that one myself
Lyle - Very nicely done - both the little engine and the video. Almost a history lesson if you want of the start of the industrial revolution, James Watt and all. Those of us who were educated as mechanical engineers using slide rules and the steam tables especially got a chuckle out of it all - at least I did. By all means cover how the valving and governor works - I'm sure people will find it fascinating. But then I'm prejudiced, being one of those old slide rule and steam table guys. We'll have to see if you need to tune the whistle. LOL
👍👍
great model , very good build quality
Thank you Mr Pete.
I want one.
Of machining interest, those “tool marks” seen at 8:50 on the shaft flats are from a reciprocating wire edm, not the bottom of an endmill. The lines are where the molybdenum wire reverses direction. Under magnification you should be able to see on the surface the shape was electrically eroded away.
Thanks
Thanks. I’ve made a lot of high production tooling for continuous wire (Agie) EDM machines but never heard of the type that you mentioned before. Learning something new every day is what makes this trade so interesting.
GF has also been making them for several years now too, I believe, have seen a couple but only in Asia so far. No birds nest or chopper bin of brass, no tank, just flooded with electrolyte. I’d guess they notch those parts stacked 6-8 inches high. Really quite efficient on consumables
Morning Lyle
Thanks for the video
Thank you so much!
You're welcome!
It looks well made. The instructions in English look decent. They can do nice work in China when the designers aren't bound to lowest price.
The price is very reasonable considering that at least $150K of high production precision tooling had to be made and tested to produce the high quality parts.
Thanks for the video, I really like stem engines , makes me think of my youth . not a bad price on them for the quality. quit e remarkable actually
👍👍
That is awesome! Thank you, sir.
Great job. Thank you 😊
Brian from Ma.Great video ya when you opened box the beauty popped out.That Bridge that unfortunately got damaged . Where I lived in Gilbertville Ma. I lived about seven car lengths from one brings back a lot of memories, but I heard there’s very few of these bridges left anywho Besafe
😄😄😄
Noticed you surpassed 300k subscribers. Congrats!!
Yes! Thank you!
That is cute as a button!
I should get one for an avid assenbler of a grandson to put together when overcrowded with grandkids here!
That'll flush out more interested kids. : - )
Yeehaw! This'll be another good series! Thank you sir.
👍👍👍
Looks like a very nice working model
can't wait to see the rest.
Marvelous engine!
nice working model !
wow what a great model !!!! I wonder how long you had it before making the video? Great work sure you are happy .can't wait to see it work!!
"Thumbs up!" --Heron
Beautiful product. Love the fact that no plastic was used. I hate plastic.
Almost none... What about the steam pipes, could have been copper perhaps?
@@seapy2398 I didn't watch the entire video. Didn't catch the steam pipes. Yes, they should have been copper. I'll let them slide on that one. Still a great product. Hopefully they will convert to using copper. I generally do hate plastic, but in all fairness to plastic every now and then I can see it being useful. One example is where I am experimenting with an older car I am restoring. I ran some clear plastic tubing in the fuel delivery system so I could visually monitor the flow of gasoline through the system. That clear plastic came in very handy in educating me on that fuel system.
@@normtheteacher5485 Didn't watch the entire video- than why bother commenting?
I purchased one for my Grandson for Christmas, He has not put it together yet, so we have not played with it yet.
@14:09 wouldn't an elasticated drive belt also impose a force ?
Boys 12 to 120!
Ladies and gentlemen and children of all ages
For older boys, 12 up to 87, maybe? ;)
Did they identify the driver that ripped up the covered bridge? If so, is he/she being prosecuted?
Yes
I thought backward, and that's why I'm poor.
What about a father and son project?
Yes
out of stock late. pete
Not suitable for older girls??
Definitely not. They want a Barbie doll.
True, except for Blondihacks.
I just knew you werent going to fire it up.I had the German made one back in the '60s.Quality wasnt all that impressive considering the cost.Why those things are so expensive I have no idea.Theres really not much to them.At least mine wasnt.The little capsules that came with it
to fire the boiler were useless.
It’s fired up in a next vid, runs smoothly..
Looks like you are changing the direction of your channel , not good from my perspective
Adapt, evolve or die? We live in a constantly changing world. I might add 'So get used to it' but that would be rude, so disregard that please.
