Excellent, coming right along, looking good. enjoy the 🐦 islands. Laterz.

Good tips for dealing with bronze there Mr Chivers Jnr!! Cheers, Ian

Awesome Matt!! Hope you're enjoying your holiday! Lots of good techniques there... Have to remember those. One thing. Do you have a collet closer setup for your lathe? One of those would be a huge time saver for you. The four jaw works, but collets are so much faster, though slightly less precise. Keep up the good work. Hope you didn't get a sunburn!

Matt, This loco is really starting to ‘look the part’. 👏👏👏 Keep Punchin’ mate, Robert

It’s called “fetling”. Also it sounds like the guitar player is in your workshop with you.

Thanks for sharing 👍

Holidays!?!? Come on man, you haven;t got time to be away from "the build"... Then again - enjoy your break from reality. You deserve it.🤓

You could protect the bed with an wooden board, if something falls ...

Coming along nice, Matt. You should consider getting some 120 degree spotting drills (assuming your drills are ground to 118 degrees). I think they are more effective than using a center drill myself.

Excellent Stuff Looking forward to the reveal. Enjoy your holiday

Another great video. Have you tried masonry drills on sticky Phosphor Bronze. I sharpen the front and the sides of the carbide business end. As the hole shrinks the sides of the tip also cut. Makes a big difference 😀

Great job, it's really coming together. Cheers Matt, enjoy your holiday

Superb work,

Great to see more progress. Hope you are having a fantastic holiday!

Thanks Matt. Yet another superb vid showing us some more of your excellent engineering skills. It makes me wish that in my younger days I learned how to be a machinist. Until the next one. - Fletch -

Good job. Not that long to go now!

Why On the front is says Flying Scotsman isn’t it mallard

I'm now suffering from garden railway envy, a fabulous construction and beautiful Garden. Knowing how much work it takes to keep my own small efforts running this is a great achievement from the owner and a real kindness to open it up to the public.

4:53 Great shot!

It’s nice to see the two river class locomotives Afon Glaslyn and Tarn Beck, I saw them when they visited the Scottish Model Engineering Trust (SMET) for the 7.25” Gauge AGM in 2019 I think it was. Beautiful engines very powerful and comfortable seats for the driver! I got to sit at the controls of Afon Glaslyn

Get back in your workshop young man! You would never catch me spending every waking hour in mine...

Blimey that’s a proper garden railway 😮

Truely , a fabulous place. Thanks for the video.

Amazing place doesn't really do it justice.

Awesome little railway.

Thanks for sharing 👍 Are thise engines gas or propane fired?

Eureka moment ‼️ Matt, all those beautiful machined handles… of course… silly me… it was built in the middle of the twentieth century eh? Quality endures. Restoration was nicely done, in what I’d call a ‘vintage-respectful’ manner 🤣🤣🤣 Love ya work mate Regards Robert

Why he have flying scotsmans plate in front?

Great to see good old iron being saved, nice job, nice videos!

A very enjoyable series. I do like seeing quality tools rescued rather than binned!

i would use a little lapping compound on that shaft. NICE JOB TOO

Excellent Project with lots of background infomation

nothing wrong with being over 60 years old, like a good wine somethings improve with age.

Loved the turntable series, never seen inside one before. Also enjoyed all your pervious videos, keep them coming.

Not much of a machinist myself, but the rotary table tip that stuck with me is from blondihacks: make keys for it so it registers on your mill table, which makes setup a lot faster and easier.

A great result.

G’day and greetings from Tasmania Australia 🇦🇺 Matt, you have done a terrific job on restoring that rotary table and a great size. I only found out about your channel not that long ago, I have a 8”” rotary table and it has a broken shaft in it which I would like to restore as well. I have enjoyed watching you bring this back to the living. I have subscribed regards John😊

That looks like a fantastic addition to the workshop! Nicely done! Cheers, Ian

The last second made me jump 🤯🤣🤣🤣

Good job. 👍

Another informative "Chivers" video. Nice one Matt. The offer to regrind any mill tools still holds. Sad to see that the "South Western cardboard box" no longer resides on the shelf behind the right hand side of the mill...

What a lovely bit of kit 😀 great restoration

Superb effort Matt. Working like new, a very useful addition to the tool stores.

I have a small rotary table about this same size. On mine, the worm and gear sit in an oil bath. Not a lot, just enough to cover the bottom 1/3 of the worm.

Thanks for sharing 👍 You know there is stops on your mill to help you with those repetitive cuts.

Excellent mini series, really enjoyed following along.

Hello from Aus. good work all round. What camera do you use? BC

Matt, You should have a ‘like new’ bit of kit there 👍 What’s the saying… “One man’s junk….” 😎 Robert

Great work sir. Yeah I would have definitely not walked pass that rotary table. I’m sure it’s going to work great when you are done with it

Hey Matt, another great video. You might pass on to "Dumbass", after seeing the closeup of his hand it appears his skin looks a little dry. I would suggest maybe he switch from WD40 to hydraulic fluid or maybe even Way oil if that doesn't work. Cheers from the West Coast of the US.
