Thanks for your helpfull S50 build videos!! I only have a lathe with a milling attachment, to tackle the S50, so wish me luck! Looking fwd to the rest of your S50 greatness!
Hey Adrian. I'm going through this series bit late - but I'm loving it. I'm getting the engine itch just from watching your progress! Looking forward to catching up to date. Cheers, Craig
I am enjoying this very much Ade, looks good nice work, I am always learning from you, your comments en explanations and the way you approach the work peace, love it 👍
Just found you. I’ve been watching Appleton for over a year now, built a machined S50 last winter and hope to set up a little shop here in the states soon. Look forward to see and hearing you again soon. Going to watch Part 1 now. God bless!
Another superb video Ade. It is really helping me get my head around the sort of work needed on these Stuart models, which seems ideal for people like me starting out in "proper" engineering. Up till now I've made do with my micro Unimat ML which is good for miniature work, but I plan to invest in a proper lathe and eventually a mill, with the lathe mostly likely being acquired in the spring when my new workshop will be done!
G’day Ade, Great video, excellent presentation all you need now is to create more room for the table travel, hmm, another shed extension maybe. Cheers Peter
My next little video was really inspired by you teaching me how to set up materials so I can credit you partially for my success milling on the mini lathe
I have the very same model. I bought to give me something to do in lockdown. So I'm using your videos as the QA for my work. Look forward to the rest of the series and see which model you choose next? Great stuff.
I can't decide whether it's camera shake or your X-axis gibs are loose at the 25 minute mark, you give it some welly to check the 5 7/16" dimension and it looks like the table wobbles back and forth! Like the method for datum fixing by the way. ATB, John
Hi John . the gibs are tip top . it is the tripod moving on my shed floor as my weight shifts winding the handle , also the image stabilisation on the camera freaks out a bit , Cheers Ade.
@@ade63dug Thanks for the explanation (here and in episode three). Thought it had to be something akin to that. By the way, take no heed of the criticism of the workholding, I included a disclaimer in my videos too, being a self-trained (or not) workshop gnome.
Thanks for sharing the project Ade, I'm sure I'll learn plenty. Just a thought on the fixture plate, if you banged a couple of M12 threaded holes in the bottom of it could you bolt it to the 246 block and not have to use the clamps?
I'm currently doing an S50 myself, and wish my soleplate was as true as yours haha. it's shrunk in the casting in many places in the parts and some cases .023 smaller than spec. I was disappointed in the quality of the castings and kind of burned out on Stuart models now so I have other projects I started
Hi Ade. At 26.20 on the video, your milling table is moving forwards and backwards as you are winding the X axis. Are you sure your gibs are set correctly? All the best. Jim.
Hi Jim . yes gibs are fine it is the floor moving under the tripod as i shift my weight . the image stabilisation on the camera freaks out a bit . Cheers Ade.
Between 25:30 and 25:50 then again a bit later (sanity check crankshaft to boss distance) it looked like the mill table was wobbling in time with your use of the handwheel. It didn't look like you were bumping the camera and the rest of the mill seemed steady, so is the table gib a bit loose ?
I've just watched this and had the same thought. If you watch it then the rest of the mill is not moving, reference to the vice behind. If the tripod was moving then the whole frame would move.
@@daviddunbar5754 Interesting. I can only put it down to the image stabilisation playing tricks with the shot when moving . The gib is perfectly fine , Cheers Ade.
@@ade63dug Hi Ade, my experience has been with normal photography and image stabilisation is done using a moving element within the lens.I've now done some research and the newer EIS system used in modern video cameras looks at the stable elements at the periphery of the frame and stabilises to them. I now see why the the table wobbles. Isn't technology great. I therefore apologise for saying otherwise . Keep up the great work. Dave.
Nice job so far Ade. Back to fraction school for you me thinks.......... you better book 2 seats as I will need to come too. Frustrating isn't it, I used to know pretty much all of them and their metric equivalents, all a distant memory. Looking good on fathoming out the casting to get the best fit, always fun. Cheers, Jon

Who the heck doesn't like this! Crackin job Ade.
Gday Adrain, this is a great setup having it on the aluminium base and be able to reference from this, I’m really enjoying this series, thanks mate
Well done Ade...that really shows the worth of the extra machined block under the sole plate.
Great video, keep up the good work matey!
Awesome thanks for sharing 👌
I am enjoying this very much Ade, looks good nice work, I am always learning from you, your comments en explanations and the way you approach the work peace, love it 👍
I can watch you all day let’s shoot for a 60 minute video lol.
Great work Ade. Love the idea of the base plate.
The use of that base as a fixture is really paying dividends. Nice work Ade.
Thanks Ade

Great work as usual Ade. I'm really enjoying the new project and especially like your setup idea. Keep up the good work.

No chance yet . I just need to tidy up more often . Cheers Ade.
Looks like we will be seeing Quite a bit of you, that is a good thing,I look Forward to seeing you workout this model. Cheers my friend
I give you a shout out in part three. Cheers Ade.

good explanation and like your thought process, looking forward to the rest of the series
Thanks for the video Ade. Interesting set up. Keep safe and stay well.
Tooling plate off to a great start Ade.
Thanks for sharing.
Great work! I like your approach.
Enjoying this series ade awesome job mate 🏴
Really good Ade, enjoyed it very much.
Great work. I like how you do your setups
Great start Ade.
Great video as always ADE ..love it !!
Nice video, lots of interesting riggings.
When ready You might use the steam engine as a power feed somewhere.... or a coolant pump!
Great video Ade keep up the good work

Nice logic on the setup Ade…

@@ade63dug I was wondering about that myself, thanks for the explanation.
Awesome
Like the videos so far👍🏻 what is that book you got with the measurements in called? Please
Zeus book . got them on Zoro website i think . Had one issued as an apprentice and had one to hand ever since . 44 years , gosh ,Cheers Ade.
fun and games AAA+++

Hi Mike . Good observation . The gib is fine it is the tripod moving with the floor as I shift my weight back and fore winding the handle. Cheers Ade.

Oh by heavens im early.😉
0.4375 !
35:00 over thickness?? you mean Stuart was actually generous with material? haha
I personally don't want to see another steam engine build. Ill watch when you do another project.

Dankeschön. Prost Ade.
