That is the neatest way to make a worm and gear I have ever seen. It would not stand heavy loads -- it is copper wire and soft-soldered -- but with a bit more trouble you could use steel and silver-solder. And make the "gear" out of steel as well. Bravo!
I like the way you use easily obtained materials and make it into some awkward part. The steering gear and worm wheel look to me spot on. You should write books on model engineering, your ideas are not only money saving, you also bring in great detail into the model which I much admire. Have learnt a great deal from your videos. Thank you for sharing.
Hello mr myfordboy!! I like your videos, they are very clear and well shot!! many things and procedures that I would have to invent, you have figured out much better than me!!!👍👍👍 Thank you for your videos!!☘️
Unbelievable! From scratch material and stretching wire to a complete steering device. It just al fits and works perfectly. No need for measurements just follow the flow of building. No need for comments, just keep your eyes open and look how Myfordboy does it. We all admire Clickspring and his videos, but this is a total different approce to engineering Show but don’t tell and somehow it is more real and appealing to me. .
If you give the wire a gentle stretch before you wind it, you get a straighter bit of wire, which in turn gives less lumps and bumps to your spirals or rings. Brilliant idea to use wire for the worm gears!
I sure hope this wasn't the last part. Really looking forward to seeing this Traction Engine running under it's own power and perhaps with a coat of paint. I'd really like to see how you finish this off. One of your best builds to date.
+William Hayden Don't worry there will be in a few days, I did not get much time this week. I will be showing the running and painting after the pipework is done.
+Phrog Flyer Absolutely! I am just mesmerized by all MFB's work but this one in particular just leaves me speechless. Can't wait to see her under steam with a nice coat of paint.
Man, those coat hanger (style) are a life saver. I can't count how many times i've had a problem and one of those was able to sacrifice its coat hangy life to make it to a tool. Even cracked inside my coin collection safe after the key got lost, with one. That aside, what an elegant solution to that worm gear wheel. :D
AMAZING!!!! It just blows my mind to watch a true craftsmen at work.... I just don't have the patients to work on such small parts nor small enough fingers. ;)
you are the most interesting channel on youtube , i follow all your project , thank you master for share your knowledge. planet need more peapol like you ;)

Your improvisation and simple solutions are wonderful. Quite inspirational! Want to get going on my own effort.
Nice to see the grub screws make a guest appearance. A damn crafty build.

myfordboy More details? Sweet. This engine is already an impressive work of art. Bring it on! :)
Can't wait until you get it finished and working on steam... Such a great project.

I am always surprise with all these ideas you came with in order to produce something that is working.
Thank you so much.

It's almost like watching a thriller! Very creative solution.
every time i watch one of your videos i learn something... many thanks.
you are the most interesting channel on youtube , i follow all your project , thank you master for share your knowledge. planet need more peapol like you ;)
Very nice work, i really enjoy your videos. You inspired me to start doing lathework and such myself.
احييك على ارادتك وصبرك وتفانيك وجهد متميز انك تستحق التقدير
Very ingenious. A pleasure to watch, as always. Thank you.
Watches video. 5:30 Mind blown.
Great job.
i had the commerically made one as a kid, it went too fast, didnt have the reduction gearbox just a belt, and used meths too lol, yours is great
Very nice work! I really enjoy your video's.
sei veramente una persona fantastica.ti ammiro tantissimo,saluti alessandro
Very creative way to make it!!
Good workmanship...thank you for sharing.
That is so ingenious, interesting and satisfying to watch , 11/10 ! Thanks
Holy cow! I Love this project! Keep it up!
Your amazing , I enjoyed every vid so far of this build .. Very awesome !!
That's a real artist at work
Lots of work! Nice job!
complimenti ,molto bello.saluti da un tuo fan dall'italia
Very clever!
Now that's one tuff little tractor.
You, sir, are a magician :)
Top work as usual!
simply great job
Piękny model:)
Well done myford! Now that's what I call a grown man toy, Do you make things for Mrs myford?
Simply genius !
Nice shot of her at the end there.
Bloody Brilliant !!!!
What % silver solder were you using? I noticed you used a propane torch.
+Mentorcase 42% silver ( easyflow 2)
I thought it must pretty high.
cool
Always interesting.
No more myfordboy; myfordmaster!!
Nice.
Thanks,
John
Genius!
have you done and torture testing to see its power ratings? its probly what 1/10th hp
Clever worm gear.
Are you going to throw some RC gear on this to make it run remote?
+Clayton Firth I won't be adding RC to mine but there is room for it under the boiler.
how much for one that runs off steam?
Wonderful
Brilijantan čovek....
that is soo cool.
very nice
So clever
COOL
amazing :-)
Nice
you should do a mini v8 engine.
Strange my earlier comment doesnt show up at all
Have you ever thought about doing a questions and answers while speaking?
I would build a bigger version. Then leave my current location.
I dont think that this will hold the weight of a driver...
