When you have identical pieces, it's customary to say so ("These are identical pieces"), then point at one of them and say, "especially that one."
😂
Whats the difference between a crow?
Both legs are the same, especially the left one.
one of my late aunt's favourite jokes 😁 thanks for reminding me of her!
I've heard that one before and I still don't get the set up for it
"Hardened PLA" nearly spit my whisky out.
(almost) the same here 🤣 (white wine... at least it doesn't stain)
Great to see the banana calipers "out in the wild"😊
I gave the Fusion 360 design to CEE for free. They insisted on some form of payment, so I asked for a donation to their favourite Staffy rescue charity: Qld Staffy & AmStaff Rescue.
The calibration certificate is theirs and is a work of genius 👍🤣
All the best,
Paul
The DUTCH ANGLE is the sign of a quality film director, you did well to use it.
Love the new calliper from CEE !
What does one call the subdivision of a banana?
@@johnsherborne3245 Chips?
@@etheroar6312 decichips or duodecichips?
This and CEE are the two best machining channels on TH-cam. You get to see how it is done from the very small to the very large. I always learn something from each channel.
Abom79 is good too, his older stuff especially. The CNC stuff leaves me a bit cold TBO.
That CEE certificate is great!
Good to see that it was approved by the Safety Inspector!
Lost it at "Dead Fruit On" :D
I trust anything approved by Homie.
Making mistakes and then engineering their recovery, is simply the path you take to becoming an expert.
Guitar making is full of that. It’s refreshing to see it here.
So, now that you got the proper measuring gear: When will you reskin you first D11 Dozer blade?
Or rebuild a Franna!
She can't - she'll have to shout "F**k off, train" at her own project ....
Hah! Kurtis and Karen have a great sense of humor!
Intelligence, humor, skills and fallible. Humble and generous. Thank you for sharing your day with us!
The CEE banana vernier bit had me giggling far more than I care to admit 😅 Awesome work as always, Quinn
The impact gun sound when you screwed those bolts in killed me thanks Quinn
FYI for screws that size 3 Duga Dugas is plenty 😂
I love the precision instrument from Kurtis, officially inspected by Homeless!
Thanks, and Meow to Sprocket.
And yes, on the rare occasion when I can actually watch a CCE video early enough to not be the 10,932 commenter, I do Woof to Homey.
The new callipers are sweet and really have appeal. Thanks a bunch for showing us.
I'm a simple man. I see Blondie Hacks, I press Like.
So say we all!
Thanks for the reminder
Good video Blondiehacks
That paw signiture (maybe pawiture) is authentic, I know. Its the paw signature of Homeless. I love the concept of Kirtus and Karen with their banana scale. Love your videos, did not miss any. Excellent job done. Thanks
Looks like Homie was promoted from Safety Officer to Metrology Inspector!
Good for him.
Experience - that quality which lets you identify a mistake when you make it again.
"bites you in the as i was saying..."
had to go back and listen to that a second time hahaha
Tip for cutting small cylindrical stock on a band saw: put a drill vise upside down over the stock so that the stock is flat on the table, then clamp it so that it can't turn. The drill vise can be referenced to a miter gauge for an accurate 90 degree cut. This works for larger stock, up to the depth of the drill vise. Your fingers stay safely away from the action...
I find myself adding phrases like "...as is tradition" and "aaaaaannnnnd yahtzee!" to CEE videos...can't think where I first heard those 😂
That tiny bit of wobble, scaled up to full size, is the result of an overzealous engineer whacking something with the footboard, thus bending the support legs. You actually created true-to-scale reality.
I enjoyed the footboards construction, but the dad in me really enjoyed the gags. Thanks , Quinn!
I remember being taught to use copper or brass rivets (really just a short, annealed piece of rod or wire) for fixturing. You'd still have to drill a hole and it's pretty much permanent but you wouldn't have to tap a bunch of tiny holes.
Not a bad idea. If done with brass brads and installed from the front, it could look like the steps were riveted to the straps. A much more prototypical look than not having anything. And that is not a slight, Quinn is doing a GREAT job with this series.
@@deepsleep7822well we were taught to take a short length of the appropriate material (sometimes had to draw it down), anneal and pickle, upset one end (put it in a block with a shallow hole drilled into it and whack it with a hammer, insert into hole, trim slightly proud, peen, solder, then filed and sanded them down much the way she has been doing with the screws. I know it sounds like a lot of extra steps, but it's really quick and easy to pre-make a whole bunch.
Allen key bolts can work nicely as mini pipe wrenches if you can find the right size and reduce the outside dimension a bit!
That's a great idea!
Yes, they can. We all assume that you were trying to say socket wrenches and pipe wrench came out. That is not a problem, don't let anyone deride you, we all do sort that thing of time all.
Quinn has worked on enough cars to have become fully pneumatic impact driver.
Fun fact, SI (metric) bananas are measured end to end instead of across the width and come in bunches of 10.
WAIT! I just watched Curtis and Karen building new wenches - a WENCH thingingy-ma-gi-Bob for the Frena carine! The calipers used for measuring bananas I thought were sent to the box of....
Regardless of what shenayou all have going on. ALL of you makers and INSPIRERIORS have going on (even behind the scenes 😊) I approve! And BRAVO. I didn't even have to to watch beyond seeeinthe bananas and I knew....
Thank you all. Made my night!
Beautiful work on the front foot boards! Yeah, those solder holder screws can sure be a pain, but after more than my fair share of mishaps, I've learned that for me, it's always worth the effort to use them. I've learned a lot from Kozo!
I love your new metrology equipment too! Fine tools make working in your shop such a joy! And having a true Unit Banana for calibration is a really big help too! 😅 🍌
You can live happy and safe with the knowledge that the steps on the full size Switcher were never as square and level as what you have achieved
Awesome work!!!
Great to hear Kurtis, Karen and Homey getting a shout out. You’re correct in your assumption that I also watch CEE religiously. Now…back to your video.
That wobble is still well within the scale tolerances of the original. 😂
When you're not describing the operation on camera, your commentary (re: brass chips) is quite entertaining.
Came for the machining, stayed for the funk
The banana caliper made me laugh so suddenly I startled the cat. 🤣
Love the certified callipers, I especially liked the date on the certificate! LOL
For the tiny hex bolts Wiha makes tiny nutdriver bits with very thin walls. The refs are 40646->40653 in bananas or 40654->40661 in real units
I’ve enjoyed you and CEE for many moons and see the similarities and unique challenges you both face!
I'm really impressed with these new materials for metrology that could keep the calibration over long travels. And now that you have the same tools as Kurtis you don't have to pretend to be a real machinist!
Thank you Quinn for the excellent work like always. Words from the wise master are much appreciated and the caliper from CEE gag was great.
Haha. "Character builder saw." In our teens, my dad set my brother and me up with a summer job building simple machinery for the weaving plant where he worked. I cut over 300 lengths of 2" x 1/4" angle iron and maybe 50 more 5/8" cold rolled round bar with the CBS. It made me quite the character I am today. Seriously, I can still reliably cut within about 20 thou. Often useful.
I love that CEE caliper!!! Complete with Homie's signature👍👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻♥️
Bananas!
Love the caliper from Kurtis at CEE, all in "bananas" (he really IS a metric guy!)..... and the pawprint from Homey is the perfect finishing touch. It's probably quite accurate too 😀
I sometimes put a bit of heavy scrap steel stock in front of previous joints to keep the torch flame off them... seems to work OK....
Might I suggest a tiny tube spanner for those wee hex bolts? Most model engineer's supply shops have them, although they are easy to make yourself using a bit of spare (or machined) steel hex for the former... Make a lead in bevel on the form, get the tube nice and toasty and tap it on.... instant spanner... 🙂
Ha! Nice to see CEE from here in Oz helping out with precision tools.
Couple of things, you guys are my two favorite. I loved the small spanner. Also, Homie😢 is the safety officer, so legitimate. Good to calibrate the banana, Kurtis hasn’t shown that; and I’ve looked at hundreds of hours of his stuff like a junior FBI agent. The juxtaposition of scale is fascinating.
If Homeless signed off on it you know it's good.
I didn't do such a good job watching this the first time, I fell asleep. I had to come back when I was refreshed and watch it again, so I appreciate your acknowledgement of my effort! 😂
Really enjoy your videos , my Dad was a locomotive Engineer , he was working during the transition from steam to diesel electric , thank you .
Seeing the drawbar being installed was an absolute treat. Such a simple part, but what impact on the progress. Choo choo
Great video. This project is really cool because of assembling so many things and making an assembly that is relatively large. Boy am I tempted to make this project one day! Watching this also gives me energy to get back on my Stuart vertical engine that I started way too many years ago. Steam engines and machining in my home shop - I am a really really happy camper. Love to the channel. Love to Sprocket.
I almost forgot - a banana caliper? That's just silly. One of the officers on my boat used to sound the high levity alarm when it was called for. I can hear it ringing its little head off right about now.
Blondihacks, Joe Pi, and JohnnyB are the only channels that get a thumbs up BEFORE I watch the video. And I've never been disappointed.
Love the CEE Standard Banana measuring device! Kurtis, Karen & Homey are awesome :)
Hey Quinn, I love the new guess-ometer in freedom, banana units. Lol.
If you think 316 is good fun to machine, you should try 440, Inconel, or Stellite some time. They are hilarious for the unwary.
Thanks Kurtis, helps a lot! ..Quinn, thanks, helps a lot!
Hahaha "however, there is a bit of funk" 😂
Bananas forever!
George Butcher, heh. Great fun Quinn, nice to see the locomotive coming right along.
The standard banana caliper is amazing!
me at 1:33 - oooh, cool, it's a CEE/Blondihacks connection! 🥳
me at 1:34 - oh no, this is about to get bananas. 😭🍌
me at 2:09 - well, at least we know it's a safe set of bananas, if the safety officer signed off on it.
me at 2:28 - ohhh, Quinn..... 🤣😂🤣
Very pretty frame Quinn, all that meticulous work shows well, cheers!
Tiny hex bolts … hard to install you say? WIHA PICO … I love em😉
Hardened PLA. I burst out laughing. Good job.
As a hobby blacksmith, I enjoy watching you machine parts to .0005” tolerances that the blacksmith would have made to much lower tolerances.
I like to see other's mistakes, it's reassuring (I do my share)! And I must keep in mind that, if one day I come visiting such miniature train exhibition, I have to say "Hey guys, the front foot boards are not PERFECTLY aligned!" 😅
Cheers from the old continent
This is my Sunday morning wake-up zen here in New Zealand. I don't know what I'd do without it! Thanks.
Came here from CEE and I am so happy about the gag I am starting to second guess my sanity... 😂
My answer to why I did something that did not work: "It seemed like a good idea at the time."
We make nut drivers from socket head cap screws. I don't know the hex size situation up there but our BA bolts seem to be made from standard steel hex sizes so you can usually find a suitable screw. Silver solder it to a handle then turn the thread off if necessary.
love the callout to BOM guys.
There are the noble metals and then there's 316 stainless which should called "The Devil's Metal". It's surprising how different British locomotives are to their American counterparts.
There's no rock in that at all
But there is a little PHONK
🕺🏼💃🏼
This series of videos is so inspirational, makes me want to start a brass/copper build of some sort. Thanks for sharing!
I did do a good job watching this video. Thank you for noticing.
Looking at your success as much as the mistakes, is so valuable. Thank you!
1:18 I find a set of nut drivers useful for tightening small bolts. You can grind some material off the outside if the head of the bolt or nut is too close to something.
I'd love to see a "Cat's whisker" version of that caliper that gets approved by Sprocket.
Yay!! It's Blondihacks time!!!
The amount of goofies in this vid was specatular. Never a boring moment with this one
Enjoyed the humour in this one.
Nicely done Quinn.👍👍
I'm adopting this approach - as long as I've had worse ideas is all good! Thanks Q!
I used tiny socket cap screws with handles attached for socket wrenches. I have 00, 0, 1 and 2 sized sockets.
Great video Quinn, nice fix.
Great work Quinn, as usual 👍 Have a great day!
I do restoration and I just purchased a bench top lathe. Have learned a tremendous amount from your videos. I made a machinist hammer. Took a while but finally finished it. Thank you for your channel!
Like you I hate fiddling with fixing screws but a trick I learned from an old model builder (we work in 5" gauge, approx 1:12 scale) is to use 1/16" brass rivets press fit to hold things while soldering. They hold well enough to prevent the movement you got and can be 'removed' with a few strokes of a file.
If you're really worried about movement, a couple of taps with a peening hammer will bend them enough to hold the parts rigidly.
This chick is so fning hilarious man I love it
My dad has a few socket wrenches he made for tiny screw by turning down the OD of the head of a corresponding size socket head screw. it would make driving whose tiny hex screws way less tedious than with an open end wrench!
It's not your worst idea? Well then what was? We viewers need a solid reference or we have know idea how many rotten bananas was this one! Keep up the great work, hard to believe 37 episodes so far!
That came out really good.
Quinn Dunki is awesome!
Exactly right! If we are watching this channel we probably watch Kurtis, Karen and Homey. Too bad the calipers are sold out! ☹
It was definitely one of the ideas of all time!
Great job Quinn
Nice! Your model is probably more precise than the prototype.
01:35 Curtis! 😂
Lovely work. 👍
