I went AWOL

[@eyuptony]

You don't need to explain Ade. It's your life. Good to see you again. Tony

[@MattysWorkshop]

Gday Ade, great to see you back, I think painting the steam engine as a tribute to Fred Dibnah is a bloody awesome idea, I’ve watched so many videos on this man, he’s a bloody legend mate, certainly got big balls to be climbing the chimneys like he did, cheers mate

[@sidwainhouse]

The film of him fixing ladders to a chimney still makes me wince, balls of steel that bloke.

[@campingstoveman]

when you've finished both of the engines keep one in the shed and one in the house otherwise left together they breed, I found out the hard way as I now have ten 🤣

[@CraigLYoung]

Oh! So that's what causes that. Where were you 10 years ago.

[@SteveMonk1956]

Hi Ade, I try and get over to Ypres once a year, two of my Great Grandfathers fought over there in WW1, one came home full of shrapnel and the other was blown up by a shell and is buried just out side of Ypres, Perth Cemetery China wall, just down the road from hellfire corner. I have visited many of the "sites" of WW1 in and around Ypres and it is the most humbling emotional experience I think I have had in life, with the possible exception of seeing both my children being born. Love your video. Cheers and keep up the good work.

Good to see you back Ade. Hope you're feeling much better.

[@andrewthick185]

Dear Ade, Great to see you again. No need to apologize for your abscence. Had a few of these Mamods and nice to see you disassemble one.Alwways learn something from you. God bless.

[@delstone1919]

Nice to see you back in action, Ade. 👍👍

[@carlwilson1772]

Apology not necessary. Great to see you working on the Mamods.

[@woodster2594]

Good to see you back Ade, I've missed your videos

[@rickymale8203]

Good to see you mate. You post as and when you want, we’ll be waiting. 👍

[@paulmorrey4298]

Good to see you back All the best

[@brianleduc2244]

Great to see you back !! As for your tractor toy! If mine I put all bells and bobs custom paint when do it's your one off ade's toy tractor best of luck

[@richardl7161]

Nice to see you back Ade. You need a break from time to time, so no apologies needed.

[@wibblywobblyidiotvision]

That's the stationary engine I had as a kid!

[@bostedtap8399]

No problem Ade, look after yourself. Impressive taking the tunnel, lot better, than ship, hovercraft, though if i had a 6 or 7 hour trip on the other side, i may use a ship, nice 75 mins with food. Citric or Oxalic acids are very good for rust removal, doesn't erode ferrous materials as vinegar does. Nice Mammod engines. Thanks for sharing

[@bantampop3532]

Good to see you back 👍👍

[@chrisbrittle4158]

I've had my mamod since I was ten,(50yrs) methylated spirt version,I'm 60 December had heart problems 3 yrs ago,when you need a rest,have one,no need for apologies,👍

[@kidkv]

We all need a break, Ade. I got mine in a hospital for a week!

[@ChrisDRimmer]

Good to see you back again mate :) love those little Mamod engines - my grandad (a civil engineer back in his day!) had loads of them and I still have a couple floating around our own shed, a bit neglected if I’m honest! Nice to see them online though :) Look forward to seeing how work goes on it

[@dennisbjones]

Mate, you've got to give those puffers the flick. I occasionally miss them but I definately don't miss the smoker's cough and the crap in my lungs. Tough but can be done. Only really hard for just a small time.

[@trevorjones4463]

Good to see you back ade

[@nobbysworkshop]

Nice to have you back Ade. You must take good care of yourself dear boy. Looking forward to seeing the Mamod restoration, but do take your time with it. All the best to you. Cheers Nobby

[@mperry9025]

Thanks Ade

[@NightingaleRallyMedia]

Was a fantastic weekend! Great to meet you Ade, Hope to see you at the next one too! 😊Brilliant channel by the way!

[@billofalltrades2633]

Welcome back 😁

[@camerashy44]

Welcome back Ade, I was just about to send you an email to see if you were all right!

[@derekcottiss9724]

Hi love the channel did you ever do a list for the milling machine power feed please

[@SimonHollandfilms]

Hi Ade, ive just bought a Warco WM 14 mill... .no idea how to use the captive drawbar....i have a collet holder installed but cant remove it for my drill chuck....did you do a video? or can you help. thanks Simon H.

[@ade63dug]

On my machine the drawbar is captivated in the spindle by a cap on the top. This just leaves a 10mm square part of the drawbar sticking out the top. If you hold the spindle at the bottom and undo the 10mm square it will loosen at first and the become tight against the cap . keep turning the 10mm square and it should pop the two tapers apart . then just unscrew it by hand and it will come out. I am planning on putting a video up shortly . maybe even today, I will show it . Cheers Ade.

[@SimonHollandfilms]

@@ade63dug thanks Ade....i was hitting with a hammer! didnt work. i will take your advice but a video would be fab.

[@sidwainhouse]

Had one of those Mamod engines as a kid, loads of slop in them as precision would have seized them up.

[@CraigLYoung]

Good to see you again 😅

[@christopherpowlesland6571]

Hi Ade I’d love to build the Webster engine, can you tell me where you sourced the gears? I don’t have the equipment to make them and I think it would be very expensive buy that just for a few gears. I would appreciate your advice, thanks Chris

[@Unrivaledanime]

Nice Tan

[@taranson3057]

Soak the rusted / lime deposits parts in 45% vinegar 1:1 ratio with distilled water for 24 hours and the results could amaze you. I use the same to remove hard water deposits from glass. Also use it to remove mill scale

[@Rich10000]

Are you happy with the Warco tools Ade?
