Congratulations Quinn! I wish my Dad could have completed his steam engine. He was building a 24 foot tugboat using a 5 hp double acting engine. Unfortunately, a lousy leukemia shortened his retirement. He had the engine built and was ready to have the boiler constructed and just started the frame in his basement. To see the completion and test of the engine warms my heart. I have a model of the full size one he made sitting on a shelf above me. I go to live steam whenever I can find one to reminisce and see what others do. Again, Quinn my wife and I enjoy your narrations very much. Now I have to open my machinist chest and break out my Starrett 0-1 inch that is almost 50 years old and measure some brass plate that I am going to build an enclosure for electronics to get a radio telescope going, a 50 year dream. Thanks for another video!
This is just fascinating. I could watch it for hours. Little dabs of oil here and there and Tweaking of pressure. It is just fun to watch. And it's the first time I laughed at a tea bag!
AHHH! I can smell steam and hot oil here in England. Well done your craftsmanship is wonderful. I scratch-built a horizontal steam engine for my "A" level exams in 1964. It still runs on compressed air.
Now you have make a miniature saw, lathe, and loom for the steam engine to power, your own little factory mill. Great video series. I always look forward to the next one.
It works! We never doubted it would. Yup, paintwork and polishing aside, it's a Quinticentually working model! Nice series and thanks for having us in to watch! Cheers! Keep Well!
I absolutely lost it when you put the teabag in that cup 😂🤣 The subtlety of that humour made it perfect! You are such an amazing and engaging machinist 🥰
Well done, Quinn. I was in need of one crimp connector and crimper to get a tractor running and NAPA was across the street. I ran over and bought their cheapest set of connectors with crimper. Stripped the wire, said the connector on, crimped it and the crimper broke. Like, right through the handle. Customer was waiting, so I ran back, exchanged, and this one got the crimp tight. Everything went right into the round file.
About these wires used as farmers hose clamps. I learned many years ago working with instruments in gliders that you should have two loops around the hose before twisting them, that way you will even clamping and not have the small area around the twist where there might cause a leak.
After watching this pm research steam engine build series, I finally understood why engines previously had to be broken in. And also why in this day and age of very high-precision manufacturing, engine break-in is no longer so crucial. Congratulations on the successful live-steam first run! Best regards from Brasilia, Brazil.
Quinn , There is something very relaxing about watching that steam engine run , It reminded me of the Movie The African queen when you made a cup of tea from the boiler (drew water from the boiler )
Quinn where the heck did you pick up those awsome machinist dance moves i never came across them in any handbook, nice job as always live steam yeah!!!!!
You know the missing parts of the dead Sea scrolls that machinery's hand book was transcribed from in 100AD? They didn't transcribe the dance portion. They recently recovered the machinist dance scroll.
@@chrisstephens6673 I believe they burned the originals as heresy so we needed to go back to the original source. Rumor has it if you do it right, you'll never break a tap
Great job Quinn! I remember when I ran a W&S turret lathe back in the 70's I had a friend bring in some brass to turn down for his model train engine. Was really cool to watch it run on live steam when he had it finished.
The timing of your sense of humor is giving me sympathetic resonance (in the form of laughter). You seem like you would be delightful to have as a friend.
100% loved the Yahtzee dance! I love your videos. Im an amateur hobby machinist/PhD slave researcher who lucked into a $200 Smithy CB1239, and I binge watched all your videos as soon as I found your channel. Thanks for all the inspiration!!!
Awesome to see it come to life. I have a similar engine from bar stock that I started years ago but never finished. Time to think about digging it out again.
So cool! A totally excellent milestone. You convinced me to get a ratcheting crimp tool for quick disconnects a while back and it's been a joy to use and made a ton of durable wiring harnesses.
Congratulations Quinn, I enjoyed watching you build your steam engine project and this video, judging by the other comments, many other viewers enjoyed it too!
I have to make a (VERY primitive) adapter/coupler out of a chunk of aluminum round bar stock. Being a newbie hobbyist machinist, as I’m planning my order of operations: “Ok, hacksaw to cut off a chunk of this rod, then I’ll mount it in the chuck as straight as possible, next I’ll face the end... as is tradition.” No kidding, “as is tradition” keeps going through my mind. Thank you for that!
I am an ex RCAF avionics technician. Raychem makes excellent milspec terminals. Grip well and last long time. More expensive but great for projects that you want high reliability from.
If I can give one tip... when the valve wears over many years it will cause uneven wear. This is because your entire valve face is flat. There should be a step upto the valve face and the valve should very slightly run off the edge of the face this ensures the valve face can wear without creating a step for the valve to hit. Engine runs nice great job 👏
If you attached a steam pipe while blowing down, you can warm your coffee in that process! It's good to see it steam up, the sound is entirely different on steam vice compressed air, very good sounding, thanks!
I’ve said this in other videos awhile back. I can’t imagine the amount of valuable knowledge someone would gain working with you. This was very enjoyable to watch.
Every time a new episode comes it's almost like christmas this is art Quinn, has a proposal to build a scale sawmill with flat belt. keep going Quinn. :)
Nicely done, always nice to see an engine's first steaming. BTW, forget cotton in the oilers, try felt, you can clip some nice little discs with a hole punch and pack them in the bottom of your oilers. Doing it this way will also mean it acts as a filter, which will keep grit from either getting through to the bearing surface, or blocking that oil hole. Also 1mm/#60 is pretty common for oil holes, don't make the smaller, just let the felt slow the flow down.

Or maybe more appropriately The Quindustrial Dance Dance Revolution
You've been waiting months to say that, haven't you?
@@DisintegratingCircuits I am astounded that @Blondihacks didn’t come up with herself.
I would like to hear more about the endurance race car.
I second that request!
Thirded!
Agreed, now she HAS to do it. 4 of us commented.
Yes, please

Congratulations, Quinn! I'm very glad to see your steam engine actually run on live steam. Now I know why the English model makers drink so much tea!

2:49 thanks for not letting us down. We gotta stick to traditions!
Ok you’ve just made my day that little cut to you dancing was most amusing and has cheered me up I thank you for your humour
"It's fine, save your comments" LOL You tell em Quinn
This is just fascinating. I could watch it for hours. Little dabs of oil here and there and Tweaking of pressure. It is just fun to watch.

Let's hear more about those race cars!
Yes please! Les in UK
"Lousy machinist compensator fluid". I got a good belly laugh from that comment, I nearly spit my coffee out :)
Loctite is careful machinist insurance fluid. For lousy machinist compensation, we use teflon tape.
I would definitely agree with the lousy machinist compensator fluid .
i agree... also sticky, heavy grease is good for a few thou lol
Now you have make a miniature saw, lathe, and loom for the steam engine to power, your own little factory mill. Great video series. I always look forward to the next one.
Joe Pie is building a micro sized lathe for his and I wouldn't wish that pain on anyone
She said it guys! She said "as is tradition"! Yay!
Nice to hear you mention Keith Appleton! I enjoy his channel as well as his sense of humor lol
Great video! I remember building a steam engine similar to this when I was really young. Now I'm building my 4th steam locomotive. Quite the journey.
It works! We never doubted it would. Yup, paintwork and polishing aside, it's a Quinticentually working model! Nice series and thanks for having us in to watch! Cheers! Keep Well!
The dancing monkey bit had us laughing out loud. The callback was perfect. Well done!
Very cool Blondie ... I’ve been a Steam Fitter for 40 years... great job !!!!
So much nicer than compressed air
And that boiler is a work of art!
I absolutely lost it when you put the teabag in that cup 😂🤣 The subtlety of that humour made it perfect!
You are such an amazing and engaging machinist 🥰
Well done, Quinn.

Stripped the wire, said the connector on, crimped it and the crimper broke. Like, right through the handle. Customer was waiting, so I ran back, exchanged, and this one got the crimp tight. Everything went right into the round file.
I didn't realize how emotionally invested I was in this project until I "WOOOO"d when the engine ran!
Knew you would drop a tea bag in there, well done. Nice..
If you HADN’T dropped one I’d have had to think about unsubbing...
Live steam!! Yay!!!
Yahtzee dance! Loved it!😍
About these wires used as farmers hose clamps.
I learned many years ago working with instruments in gliders that you should have two loops around the hose before twisting them, that way you will even clamping and not have the small area around the twist where there might cause a leak.
The culmination of a lot of love and attention to detail. Thanks, Quinnlette, for the great ride.

Came for the live steam; stayed for the dancing, but the cup of tea from the boiler is what made it for me!
I used to give zero farts about steam engines, but you Quinn, have made steam fun again. Awesome excellentness.
That reminded me of that piece of history where James Watt invented the kettle when he saw his steam engine boil over.

You understand that from now on we’ll be expecting the yahtzee dance in every (other) video, right ? Awesome !
The timing of your sense of humor is giving me sympathetic resonance (in the form of laughter). You seem like you would be delightful to have as a friend.
It's a joy to watch it running!
Love it! All that's needed is a steam whistle to signal tea-break!
6:30 I have that same blowdown container. I don't have a steam engine yet though so I've just been using it for coffee in the meantime.
You are really genius the way you did everything from 0 to 100 was just amazing.
So much fun! Thanks.
I'm a retired cabinetmaker, but find this sooooo interesting.
Tea bag was brilliant comedy
The sound of that thing running is amazing and you’re dancing put me in mind of Signfield and a Lane
Great to see it running on steam. I saw a couple videos of Mr. Pete's where he ran steam so I was prepared for the mess it makes.
Congrats, what a beautiful machine!
Nice Build!!!, I saw your video on machining the flywheel, that paid off, looks awesome,!!!!
Well done Quinn. I can't wait to see the engine painted and on its base.
Very nice PMR no 1... runs very smoothly on steam. I’m a steam engine enthusiast myself, you’ve got a new subscriber.
100% loved the Yahtzee dance! I love your videos. Im an amateur hobby machinist/PhD slave researcher who lucked into a $200 Smithy CB1239, and I binge watched all your videos as soon as I found your channel. Thanks for all the inspiration!!!
Woohoo! No matter how beautiful your build when it's finished, it's always multiplied when you see it work so nicely!
There's nothing more satisfying than building something then watching it come to life.🤯
Feed it well and it'll grow up to be a big locomotive someday!
What a great series! I've really enjoyed your comments, humor, and expertise. Keep up the great work!
Awesome to see it come to life. I have a similar engine from bar stock that I started years ago but never finished. Time to think about digging it out again.
Oddly satisfying to watch a steam engine in operation!
Wow now that was fabulous and perfect dance moves too. Thanks for sharing...Vic
Nothing is more satisfying than watching a steam engine running.It’s almost a magical experience
Hahaha love the content. Don't change. The quirks, bloops, and "imperal fist shake" makes everything so much fun to watch.

Been following the build since it started, and I'm glad I did. Very, very cool.

There should be a step upto the valve face and the valve should very slightly run off the edge of the face this ensures the valve face can wear without creating a step for the valve to hit.

What a journey! Loved every step along the way.
Good use of the 1-2-3 blocks and the tea bag,,,Got lov it to see all the labor worth while ,,,Have a super Easter Holiday as well, Bear
That’s some beautiful work you did.
That is a very nice tea kettle you have there
Congratulations! That was sooo satisfying to watch. I can only guess at how much more satisfying it was for you!
If you attached a steam pipe while blowing down, you can warm your coffee in that process! It's good to see it steam up, the sound is entirely different on steam vice compressed air, very good sounding, thanks!
Your added humor is appreciated.
I totally agree on you feelings on that crimp connector set. They looked weak.
I loved this whole series. I hope you do another multi part video build of something like how this was
Awesome to see it run!
I swear these videos crack me up more and more with each one.... all while teaching me things. 😄👍🥰
Very good! Must’ve been quite exciting to have it come to life on steam after all of that work. Thanks.
Tea...with a hint of steam oil...lovely.
🍾🍾🍾 congratulations on your steam success
I started smiling at 7:14 and didn’t stop till the end.
Way to go Quinn, I love your sense of humor. Please keep up the great work.
So jazzed to see this -- and the "dancing"? ... yes, the "dancing", too. :)
Putt a lid on the oiler for the sliders, so you get a vacuum in them. Then the oilers will emptying slower.
Even as a viewer, I found this so satisfying- well done 👍🏻
It's a plug in hybrid engine, runs on steam and electricity.
this got a hearty giggle out of me
I’ve said this in other videos awhile back. I can’t imagine the amount of valuable knowledge someone would gain working with you. This was very enjoyable to watch.
Thanks Quinn great video - interesting to hear about your race car work !!
Wow, that boiler looks sharp. Great job!
It was very quite & smooth Like a Swiss watch.
Yeah! Looking good already. With paint it will look even better. Good luck chasing the leaks I hop they don't give you much trouble.
Quinn you got skills well done!
The "Monkey Dance" wins the YT category for outstanding shop humor of the year! Take care!
Everytime you post a video you provide me with information, education and a great deal of humour Thank you , but keep practicing those dance moves !
Every time a new episode comes it's almost like christmas
this is art Quinn, has a proposal to build a scale sawmill with flat belt.
keep going Quinn. :)
That’s a great sound! Congratulations, Quinn.
Great sream and water cycle video.
It's alive!!
Well done Blondi. That must have been a truly great feeling seeing it run the way it is meant to. All the best from Australia my friend
Your humour is just always on point. Love your videos!
Nicely done, always nice to see an engine's first steaming.
BTW, forget cotton in the oilers, try felt, you can clip some nice little discs with a hole punch and pack them in the bottom of your oilers.

Also 1mm/#60 is pretty common for oil holes, don't make the smaller, just let the felt slow the flow down.
I’ll try that next. The string didn’t work very well
IT LIVES !
