I got preoccupied with other life stuff and fell behind on this series. I just did a big catch up on videos 11-17; talk about a nice Christmas gift! Thanks for showing the steps on this engine. I'm really enjoying it and learning a lot from your instruction! Maybe once you're done with the engine- if you're looking for a project to make some extra KZbin content- I'd really enjoy a build series on your tapping station. I'm sure I'm not alone. Seeing how often you use it for this build has proven it is a critical part of your machine shop!

I'm not sure if it's on purpose, but I never caught a glimpse of the label on your flux. I did see a white container and thought I saw a big black "S" so I assume it's Stay-Silv. My Stay-Silv is white not brown. What flux are you using, and is there a reason to choose the brown version?

I was curious how your micrometer stop on the lathe worked. This video gives me a bit better look. I guess your stopped against the thumb screw end of the micrometer, not the anvil end. Is that right? This seems like a nice accessory for the lathe! Thanks again for all these videos!

I admire your use of material on hand - the sprung solder jig is very clever. But also little tips that pop up - I noticed the label on your spindexer with the center height recorded and on hand. I like that - I'll be measuring and labeling mine at the weekend. Nice work on those gears - and a very nice use and explanation of the spindexer. It took me a bit to get my head around at first until I said "oh it's basically a vernier". Great video. 👍
