Simple Steam The Myfordboy Traction Engine Part 21 Painting

[@BrianDaleNeeley]

The videos themselves are over five and a half hours, spanning a touch over seven months. All I can say is 'Wow!' A very impressive, informative build.

[@binness]

Once again you have produced a lovely series of builds, I have a lot of models backed up and waiting, no doubt I will give in to the urge and get another one of yours, thank you for all that you are doing in keeping the model makers busy, this is one that I will view over and over again, bob

[@josephmagedanz4070]

Thank you. It is nice to see people who pay attention to what they are doing and make sure that things are right. The results speak for themselves and for you. Well done.

[@984francis]

Well Done! This has been a delightful series to watch, the silence really helps too.

[@nodrogawson963]

Outstanding quality craftsmanship and a credit to you. I like the way you do your videos, without the annoying music and just showing captions is far better way for me to follow the build. Thank you for sharing, I have learnt a lot from your techniques and ideas and its been a pleasure to watch.

[@thelamb288]

It must be a very satisfiying moment for you that all the hard work and time spent has turned out so fantastically. Good work by an excellent craftsman. Thanks for shaing. Cheers.

[@bentregear3713]

You said to me that you where going to paint it like that and I never doubted you for a minute with the red colour. Keep up the good work.

[@sofiadragon1979]

I cannot think of any words to describe the beauty of the way that, that piece looks.

[@rengecko]

Nice videos and thanks for including so many details of the construction so your viewers can appreciate the project in the depth it deserves.

[@azyfloof]

I was previously lamenting the fact this would be painted, preferring instead to have seen the original metal, polished and shiny. I gotta say though, I take it back! This is an absolutely _stunning_ piece, beautifully beautifully painted! David, you've excelled yourself. This is your magnum opus :)

[@EmmaRitson]

really enjoyed watching this. thanks so much for taking the time to share

[@junglejammer1]

Absolutely, beautiful work! You've created a museum piece. Well done, Sir.

[@MahendraKumar-nr3fq]

[@tonywright8294]

Nice model but hardly a museum piece !

[@tedburgess870]

Nice job from start to finish. You must be very proud. Can't wait for your next project

[@rahoulzerohl]

Wonderful series. Great colour choice. Congratulations on a fine finish.

[@George-gz5zm]

Looks great, what a detailed job. You've used some interesting pound land items and hairspray...what a good tip! Thanks

[@jsteifel]

A fantastic build. A true master craftsman. Thank you for sharing all your work.

[@thisnicklldo]

Thank you for the whole series. Wonderful work and video-making.

[@rolfredford]

Amazing to finally see this project complete. Very nicely done.

[@a6cjn]

A most enjoyable series. Congratulations on a superb piece of work.

[@SteamerEdge]

Paint job is a masterpiece, a model to be proud of, thanks for sharing this series

[@mackshiv]

Absolutely beautiful and well engineered! You have a right to be proud indeed!

[@johnroscow7382]

What a great end product to a really enjoyable construction series. Thank you.

[@oke215]

i was hoping you wouldent paint it but now i see the paint on that looks so good great color choice

[@stxrynn]

Beautiful work, absolutely brilliant! I could've spent 30 minutes admiring the finished product. I even liked the music at the end. Well Done! (I guess I'm an odd one, I have the patience to watch you work. I've learned a few things by doing that!!!)

[@Bobcat1963]

Your project came out absolutely brilliant & the music was perfect for the video & I was worrying about you that you have not put up a new video for a while, welcome back myford. I like it......I share it....I love it I want more of it :)

[@voidmansions]

I've thoroughly enjoyed this wonderful project from start to finish. Thank you!

[@RonaldWalters2010]

Good show David. Truly enjoyed the entire series! Ron

[@verdatum]

The thumbnail for this video was so lovely, at I didn't even notice it as a myFordBoy video! Clever idea doubling up the video during the painting process.

[@pjdambra]

Beautiful job. Had to binge watch over 2 days. Master Craftsmanship.. Subscribed.

[@sbroz1424]

thank you so much. what a pleasure to watch you work. you are a true craftsman

[@ronfullerton3162]

A very fine job! Looks like you shrank down one of those great tractors that powered threshing machines, saw Mills, and other equipment that made agriculture a little easier and quicker. I almost expected the Case eagle or another brand cymbal on the nose if the boiler.

[@trainsvsnerf8319]

This is the best model traction engine I've ever seen

[@laurentthommet8313]

It"s a long way to the top. I think you have reached it. Greetings from France

[@dixonqwerty]

This is the 3 time I watch this playlist. My only bother is that the episodes are not in order. Great build anyway. :)

[@janeycole3327]

what an absolutely superb achievement. Thanks for sharing the marvelous gestation of this industrial jewel. I've learned masses of useful stuff. John Warner. Murrumbateman. Australia

[@steved8038]

thank you for sharing your skill, knowledge and time . This has been a brilliant project and you deserve to sell a lot of castings. looking forward to another creation ?

[@doughibberd1576]

Well done. This has been an inspiring series of videos, Keep up the good work

[@StumpfsCurse]

Turned out fantastic! Love the colour scheme too! :)

[@nightlightabcd]

[@railroad9000]

A beautiful piece of work!

[@mecanotrain]

BRAVO David ; I hope to do as well with my castings. Happy modelling !!

[@ludi2shoes]

Awsome! Can't wait to see your next project.

[@scotttaylor3049]

Absolutely fantastic job on this!

[@rogercrier]

Very nice indeed. Big, but not too big for a novice with novice equipment. Complicated, but just enough to be a challenge. Cheap enough to be within most budgets. You have excelled yourself on this one, best one yet, (the furnace is a close second, but that's just my opinion,) as it is all fantastic. After, or perhaps instead of those temporary Velcro cladding bands, try tying the string hold downs with a clove hitch knot? It has the useful ability to clamp things down progressively and was used extensively to lightly clamp things before someone invented plastic cable ties. They undo very easily as well.

[@Georges-MILLION]

EXCELLENT !!!! Très beau travail !!!! Georges EXCELLENT !!!! Very nice job !!!! Georges

[@eagle159sam]

Genio! impresionante trabajo. Tus videos son la gran inspiración para hacer cosas realmente productivas. Gracias por crearlos.

[@barnabyhills4078]

[@dlstanf2]

Will you display this in any shows. I was thinking you even made your own scribe since it look black with heat treating. Glad you have shared you're talents with us.

[@myfordboy]

[@elsdp-4560]

THANK YOU...for sharing. Very nice.

[@scudosmyth784]

Lovely. The only thing I would add and I wouldn't have a clue how to or if possible would be an electric/wireless thingy to it so it could be steered remotely while running.

[@mikestabile0526]

absolutely beautiful!

[@tractorjetador]

Good job Mister myfordboy

[@petergregory5286]

Hi, Well the result came out as everyone expected. As long as you're satisfied that's the main thing. What's next? Hours of play or another project? Regards.

[@myfordboy]

To me the enjoyment is in the building, I don't play with the models much. Always a project on the go.

[@h2o270]

Awesome Work!!!

[@arsanzic8592]

MyFordBoy for president!

[@primus108]

You do great work. Very impressive. You edited the video clips to keep from being boring, which made me wonder just how many hours did this model take to build?

[@myfordboy]

I don't keep a track of the hours spent, it's a hobby, but it does take a long time , especially having to video every step and edit it.

[@markrainford1219]

I was looking online today for a couple of Vee belts for my Boxford, and one company was selling models very similar and scaie to yours for well over £1000.

[@ΤσιγγάςΝικόλαος]

Great job. Ηow did you calculate the dimensions of the piston and the chamber;

[@myfordboy]

I just chose a popular size of bore and stroke.

[@v8bmwboy]

Such a pleasure to watch a craftsman at work! Will you be going to the Great Dorset Steam Fair this year?

[@myfordboy]

I have been every year for probably the last 10 but cannot make it this year.

[@v8bmwboy]

That's a shame, this will be my 4th year. Me and my friend Tim (the guy who gave you the quickstep) will be there this year. Maybe catch you next year?

[@myfordboy]

Hopefully. Give my regards to Tim.

[@diy-chris1332]

The result of love and profession!!!!!! Great..... its absolutley not a "simple" machine

[@dougrundell947]

Very nice indeed!

[@raritica8409]

holy crap that looks good

[@jochenponjee6117]

Wonderfull! Nice engine!

[@robi1nz]

Beautiful

[@CarterWHern]

Most Excellent!

[@rljzathras]

Instant initial reaction, WOW.

[@JoshKilen]

nice job

[@venusscothern2416]

A lovely engine a Crédit to you its just like the early traction engines I have a mamod tea1 I use methes on it as the tablet solid fuel stink

[@fordsure]

Brilliant work! You must be proud its all finished! Tell me, I notice a clicking sound through all of your videos? Is it something to do with your camera focus, as it seems to coincide with a screen shake and refocus throughout the videos? All the best, take care. Dan

[@myfordboy]

It's the camera auto focus you can hear when it is quiet. The mic is on the camera so it can be heard.

[@jasonwells7327]

May I ask the source of the boiler lagging - I am building an engine similar size and I am just comparing different lagging's to find the best option.

[@myfordboy]

I bought the silicon sheet on a market stall. You should be able to get some in a kitchen supply shop.

[@holohulolo]

I wonder how much would something like that cost if he were to sell it? Considering he made everything himself.
