Great Outcome Andrew. I see that you are slipping back into your "Old Ways" again. The 10 Thou cuts again. 😊 Deeper cuts with a HSS tool with a chip breaker ground on will save heaps of time and no long stringy swarf. Regards from Australia.
Andrew, I'll certainly be watching this series. I do appreciate your methods and great video and audio technique. I learned a lot by watching your Farm Boy series and I've built one of my own as you know. I may decide to build this engine also! Great work!
Thanks Mike. I must include that video clip of your Farm Boy in my next video - assuming that's OK. I hope you give the V-twin a go. Far more work than the Farm Boy, but another great Jerry Howell design. Cheers Andrew
@@learningturningmetal Andrew, you can certainly include that clip. I've been working on further optimizing the hnm action and have it working a bit better, although still not as good as yours. I've also torn it down and am in the process of painting it now. I will post a video of it when its completely done. I do have a very small TH-cam channel, certainly nothing as good as yours!
Thanks for an interesting and inspiring video, well made as always. Filming, editing...... Time 00:55, the setup The stick out of the jaws is large meaning that the number of jaw teeth handling the clamping force are not that many. Why not turn the jaws around and use the inner part of the jaws? Thats easy on a 4 jaw chuck. The parting of blade looked like doing a good job after being sharpened. Why didn't You do more of the parting off and less of bandsaw work? I don't trust my bandsaw to cut straight down in such a cut..... It could angle into the work piece...
Thanks Stefan. I set the 4-jaw up that way, as I could get more material clamped by the jaws. Parting off on the lathe would have required a tool overhang of about 1.5", which would have put lots of pressure on the lathe components. Using a mandrel to hold it in the bandsaw also provided the added benefit of being able to face it off easily on the lathe. I must admit that it wasn't part of my original plan though. 😉 Cheers Andrew
@@learningturningmetal You have a point in getting a larger contact area. Reversed jaws could allow higher holding torque. However, You got torque enough.
Thanks Kevin - yeah the valve gear case will certainly be interesting! The Hoglet is a nice 'show and tell' engine and I thought that if I could make that it would put me in good stead for making the more complex JH. I had all my engines running at the weekend (family gathering) and the Hoglet certainly has character. I'll check your Hogelt build out. Cheers Andrew
Nice job Andrew. The part came out with a nice finish. I am guessing that there is a cover plate to go into the shallow recess outside the bearing housing. The valve case sounds like a real challenge. Good luck.
Thanks Tim - yeah you are correct about the cover plate. The valve gear case is pretty complex. I keep on reading the fairly brief build instructions but it's still not sinking in. Cheers for now. Andrew
Well done. I have noticed in a few videos now that the circular insert seems to be your go to insert....or am I just imagining things (as the result of too much Guinness)?
Hi Andrew What make is your coaxial indicator and are you happy with it. I've been watching quite a few youtubers using them and have decided now's the time, but which one?
Hi, I'm just doing my research before getting into the world of modelling and your channel is really inspiring me, thanks!
This is Keith from Michigan USA. Yes I did enjoy your different machining, procedures.. I'll try to stay up with your next video. Take care now..
Thanks Keith!
Thanks Richard. I live just north of Doncaster, up the A1 near Tadcaster.
Cheers

Hi Andrew
Great job 👍👍👍👍👍
Thanks OL 😉
Gday Andrew, this part turned out great, im really enjoying this build, cheers
Thanks Matty!

Ha ha Dave - old habits die hard!
All the best.
Andrew
Thanks for sharing 👍
Cheers Craig!
Hi Andrew when you have a problem parting off with chatter try turning the tool upside down and run the lathe in reverse this helps with chatter.👍
Hi Randy, many thanks for the tip. I must give that one a try.
Cheers
Andrew
Great work.
Thanks John! 👍
Thanks - I really appreciate your candour and Yorkshire down-to-earth-ed-ness. Good luck with the build, and keep making the videos
Thanks mate - I just try to tell it as it is.
Cheers
Andrew
Great job Andrew. Enjoying watching it come together.
Thanks Dave!
Nice video and well explained.
Thanks mate!
Another brilliant video, thanks Mark. Always full of good machining shots and well narrated.
Hey - thanks Tom!
Nice one Andrew. Coming along great. Will look forward to the 1st startup.
Regards.
Steve.
Thanks Steve - me too! Roll on 2024! 😵💫
Looking good Andrew. I like how you worked around and band sawed that part off. Coming along nicely. Looking forward to the next video. Cheers
Thanks John. Yeah the bandsaw wasn't part of my original plan but it worked out well in the end. My lucky day!
All the best.
Andrew
superb, are you anywhere near Doncaster

Hi Andrew. Nice work. Going to be interesting how you tackle the valve case. Bye the way I've just started building the Hoglet V-Twin. Regards Kevin

Thanks mate. If you are referring to the coaxial indicator, that is certainly a great way to centre on something round.

Hi Nige
I got it from MachineDRO. Invaluable when trying to centre on something round. A good price and accurate too.
Cheers

Was that a wolf in sheep's clothing I saw at the beginning?🐑
Ha ha Howard. Mind you when out walking some lambs do actually mistake him for a sheep! He is a really well natured dog though.
Cheers
