@@ArmchairDeity same here. I've been watching auctions locally. Gearing up to buy one as soon as finances allow. Another issue is the simple fact most are 3 phase. I only have a 60a 220v single to my barn. So a phase converter needs to be factored into the total cost too. Honestly might be better off getting a separate line for my barn.

Rhetorically - how much of what we do is just for that moment I call "the satisfying click" when the parts we've made just fit perfectly, or in this case the satisfying "no click when the 3/8 rod fits perfectly - and then enters the other journal perfectly. Ahhhhhh. Saweet!

I think some people don't treat these little engines with the respect that they deserve. I mean they're still a precision piece of equipment even though they're not a full size engine. It still takes skillful machining to get them correct or any misalignment in the operation that you just did will cause binding and it just either won't run or will run like crap. I build and repair these as well as Stirling and flame licker engines and I understand what it takes to get them right. I have seen a lot of basketcase engines in my days but I can assure you that your engine will be about as precision as they come and I'm really looking forward to seeing it running. My guess it'll run on a pound of air and perhaps even less.

This is what you can achieve if you take an approach of hitting the numbers, rather than relying on transferring features. Good understanding of the starting material, coupled with good understanding of the print leads to the best results. Serious respect, I enjoyed every minute of a, b and c stages. Delightful watching it come together.

I have often commented I am making chips when I was running the mill but I never realized how true that was until I watched this series. Wow, this really opened my eyes, there is a lot that I thought I knew but had no clue about. Instead of just winging it I am going to start by searching G..E..O..M..E..T..R..Y THANKS!

Hi Joe, Another great video! 5 min US Customary = 5 min metric! I like that kind of dry humor. No set-up; just bald, dry delivery. I was once in a big box department store and in the tool section they had Crescent brand adjustable wrenches hung on a rack labeled "Adjustable wrench, imperial". Immediately adjacent, was a rack labeled "Adjustable wrench, metric". Exact same wrench. One side of the package had specifications in inches, the opposite side had specifications in millimeters. Some stock clerk had a sense of humor. Be well & Best regards, Larry

After 47 years as a diesel mechanic, I probably have seen the inside of more engines than most people have seen the outside. I have seen where they had to either chamfer the caps or the block to get the crank in. I have also seen the remnants of what happens when someone either didn't number, install backward, or swap two or more caps. It's never a pretty sight. That demonstration is incredible!!! My old diesel instructor said. " For longevity build loose once for fast build tight over and over." Great episode today.

Ticketed welders that can't weld, Mechanics that don't know how to hand pack a wheel bearing and set preload etc. If things don't have a data port they are completely lost. Even finding an automotive body shop that can repair a panel. They just change them now. In under 20 years or less mankind will become soooo ignorant. The skills that brought the industrial revolution into being will all be lost. If it can't be found on a computer they are lost as they barely know how a book works.

PM Research have offered you a free kit of your choice? Oh, you lucky, lucky man! While I would be tempted to go for one of their boiler kits because I run all my model steam engines on live steam I think it would be better for you to choose one of their workshop machine kits - specifically the engine lathe kit (EL-1) because:- 1) To the best of my knowledge NO-ONE has ever done a build video of any of the PMR workshop machines. Ever! So such a video would be *unique* on KZbin - something that is not easy to achieve these days... 2) I think your viewers would find it instructive and informative to see how a lathe is made (albeit in miniature form). 3) Workshop machines would give the engine you are currently building something to run. Given enough time and models you could construct an entire workshop in miniature form. I think your viewers would find this to be of great interest :-)

Great to see the expert solution. I am z-axis limited, once I had it all set up for this I only had about 1" travel. The fix was to hold the drill in an er32 collet by the flutes for the top bearing then feed it out more to reach the bottom. Dodgy, but worked for me on my 3-in-1. I wasn't able to use the notch method as I knew I wouln't be able to mill it out on my machine.

Straightforward stuff but first time in several years I've had to hit an accurate smallish bore (0.428" to shrink fit to 0.430" spigot) Now I just have to figure out how to stop watching 'inspirational' video's and get stuff done ;o) LOL

Excellent information Joe. I just got Bit by some 1" x 1" cold roll. Using my DRO I found the exact center of the stock I was drilling 3 holes on the center line. Not thinking that the cold roll had peaks on all 4 sides in the center I went to work with a center drill and then drilled my holes. When I took it out of the vice I realized the drill slid sideways and all 3 holes were off center. Now I face mill before drilling to clean up the material.

That is beauty when you can mix and match bearing caps! I noticed the screw slots were already showing stress from being torqued, and made me hope you changed them out. The idea about studs and nuts would be period correct, if the nuts were square. In fact, all of the fasteners should be studs and square nuts, including the cylinder caps.

So happy you did the ultimate last test as I was thinking of that, big thumbs up Joe from John, Australia. PS: I think NASA will be happy with their new Steam Engine Quality Control, lol.

I’m glad you opened the top hole up and didn’t go all the way through with a 5/16 cutter with not enough flutes, you got me worried for a moment. I’ve seen many people have bad days when the cutters jammed. Good job done joe but don’t forget to re- calibrate you’re elastic band for next time.

Very pleased the world has some sense to it, in that time is in sync with both metric and imperial systems. Your shop and tooling are probably worth at least $1.5 million, you have years of training and experience. Now you are a toymaker!. Wow that's amazing.

And yet he has done nothing here that can't be done with $1500 in machines and $500 or probably far less in tools, with a good deal of care. It is the knowledge that is really priceless here, and with that, and a lot of care, the results should be achievable with equipment that is within the reach of most that would want to do this.

I'm not planning on building one of these but the amount of valuable information you pick up seeing the way you approach these setups is fantastic. The use of all the custom set up and holding fixtures is a real eye opener. Loved seeing the pleasure you found in the precision at the end there!!
