A truly amazing engine 👍👍👍👍 The amount of work that goes into making that boiler is incredible. I especially like the spinning, I must have ago at that sometime. Cheers, Alan.
I can't remember the last time I got a black man's pinch 🤔 I think the last thing I did was a Scotch-Brite wheel in a grinder. It was only a little bit of sheet steel and I'd normally stick it in my vice, and I did. But like everyone, you always miss a bit. So. I wasn't paying much attention and it caught n flung the bit of steel round. Right where the top of your nail goes into your thumb. I was really lucky it hit there as if it was just a fraction higher, I'd of been in A&E. This was quite some time ago and my nails still ducked. I can't count how much supergle n a file, so it didn't get any worse/catch then it already was. The joys of working with your hands I guess 😅🤷🏻♂️
the larger disks that were spun were made up 2 sheets welded together. on thinking back the sheets were precut into disks were around 6 foot and the formers around 5 foot, they key was not over working an hardening the metal. the forward an cross slides were powered buy hydraulic variable speed Moters, turning 5-inch amco drive screws. man, it was noisy and the welded sheets rumbled as the forming wheel rubbed on the welds
I collect these engines actually ... say 6 or 7 so far 😊 and I confess I am completely astonished by the quality of your work ... and the result ! My deepest congrats for the job and your threads ! I would proudly add it yo my collection ! 😬
Hi really interesting watching the lathe spinning on a small scale, in the 70s/80s i was a lathe spinner for A&T Burt ltd vale division Christchurch New Zealand and the stuff i was spinning was up to 6 foot in diameter usually copper, stainless, steel or cumison up to 8mm thick. some of the formers weighed 2 tons an were craned in, we used neat's-foot oil as lube, pretty scarary shit once the former n sheet disk was spinning. The working heads were large rollers of various widths the harder the disk being spun the narrowest the roller, really scarrey when spinning internal cones say for a large fan housing as the roller could punch through the sheet, any how great vids keep it up cheers JK
Wonderful. 👍😀👍 Thoroughly enjoy fabrication process stuff. Your craftsmanship results in the art of the function. Looking forward to seeing the machinery it will power.
Great build. I'd've thought making the body of the boiler to the ends would've been simpler... before soldering, you'd've had massive amounts of adjustment...
The barrel had to be made to fit the base so this was made first. Actually it's fairly easy to adjust the dome size, just make the former the same dia as the barrel.
7:53 Ohh, that looks dangerous. If the step drill jams and the sheet metal spins, you may have red sauce on the work piece. That might hurt. When doing such work, always clamp the workpiece. I had so many experiences. 8:52 I always use a ball bearing for this kind of work. There is no friction and the surface becomes cleaner. 19:43 Very nice model
@@myfordboy Either like this, or simply fasten it with a clamp, then you are on the safe side. I definitely don't want to criticize, I just want that you stay healthy so that there will be more videos of you gives.
Very nice work as always. At 12.33 (soldering on the top) you say that you re-flux the existing joints. What is the purpose of this? A question, not a criticism.

I could not have made it without your kind help.
@@myfordboy so alan is your name, right?
@@djzatka No, Alan is the one that lent me an origional engine to copy.
@@myfordboy oh my bad😅
Geez you’re the master. Privilege to watch your work.
I like the way you don't need gears on your rollers. Nice work on a tricky shaped boiler!
I love the quartered connecting rods on your bending rolls! I don't know why, really - they're just elegant and fun to watch, I think.
Again superb craftsmanship, a joy to watch every time
You, sir, are the master of model steam engines! Outstanding work! Thank you for sharing.
Thanks Mate, love your jogged joint dye and the Tippex as a solder resist.
That's a very nice looking, working, boiler, thanks!

Un maestro de la metalurgia aplicada !!!
That steam engine is sweetness to the max, Sir! Thanks for sharing.
A beautiful working replica, enjoyed this interesting series, thanks Paul
The ring roller is impressive, I don't think I've seen that mechanism employed before!
I collect these engines actually ... say 6 or 7 so far 😊 and I confess I am completely astonished by the quality of your work ... and the result !
My deepest congrats for the job and your threads !
I would proudly add it yo my collection ! 😬
Thank you very much!

That's some size, 6 ft dia. 8mm thick! I would not have expected that to be spun.
Great project & looking forward to the unit to be driven.
Wonderful. 👍😀👍

Metal spinning is an art in itself.
Awesome little engine Thanks for the video

Wow, talk about get 'er done. Very nice!
Looks like a bandsaw!
Most impressive! Wonderful DIY project! :)
verry nice, well done. reg richard.
i am looking for one, which can be used for atleast one or two radiator for heating purpose
Nice work as always. :)
Brilliant!
Amazing nice work.👍

I was waiting for a comment like this!
@@myfordboy I agree with his comment, naughty boy. :)

A bandsaw ? 🤔
This is an amazing series, I have one of these to resurrect. Would you mind sharing the burner dimensions?
The engine I copied did not have the origional burner but I was able to copy it from other videos. I can sketch it out if you email me.
@@myfordboy thank you so much :)
Very nice work as always. At 12.33 (soldering on the top) you say that you re-flux the existing joints. What is the purpose of this? A question, not a criticism.
In case a previously joint gets remelted the flux will make it reflow.
Thanks for sharing 👍
Thanks for sharing ...
thats very sweet.
Thankyou 👍
Your using solder with 42% silver. What is the temperature range off those rods?
608C solidus 630C liquidus
Is there a sight glass to keep tabs on the water level?
No, the original did not have one and mine is a replica. One could easily be added though.
Video molto breve e sintetico ....
Beautiful work! What 3D filament did you use for end formers?
Jayo PLA plus.
What happened to your last boiler which you have made in the part 4?
It's the same boiler.
@@myfordboy same 😳
Metal spinning must be so difficult
To what pressure do you test your boiler?
80psi
Lovely
Wherr is other parts?

@@myfordboy ok professor, i am going to watch thank you..
⭐🙂👍
Beautiful! Boiler PSI? Interesting.
Safety valve is set to 30 psi.
