You make it look Soooooo easy. Years and Years of experience, I know....... but man oh man it's a pleasure watching a master craftsman at work. Probably the finest steam engine machining on KZbin. Love to watch you work my friend.

[@joepie221]

Thank you for the compliment.

[@pebrede]

My 2 bob’s worth on the 5/16 x 26 tpi is that it’s CEI, Cycle Engineers Institute from or alternate name British Cycle Thread. Thread form of 60 degrees, tpi 26, pitch 0.0385”, core dia. 0.2715”, tapping drills, letter J drill, 0.2756” or 7mm. Commonly used also on pre UNC/UNF British/Commonwealth motor vehicles, motorcycles, tooling, Bicycles, and model engineering and instruments and specialised fluid connections, in this case on the gland packings of the piston rods and valve rods. Your unique view of the engineering processes for these models is most enlightening. Take care.

[@joepie221]

Thank you.

[@brightmodelengineering8399]

There are various reasons I sent you the twin cylinder D10V, firstly I've seen lots of the single cylinder built by many people but not the twin, Finally, two cylinders, so twice the amount of work, and just to be annoying hehe. But it does make making jigs more worthwhile. You are creating a true masterpiece and I'm enjoying watching as much as you are enjoying building it. I know I included the BA taps and I thought I;d included every tap and die you'd need. Steve

[@andylewis7360]

Well, your inadvertent oversight was the source of much mirth so thank you for that 😊 And thanks for giving Joe so much to get his teeth into. I’ve really enjoyed watching him building this little marvel. Can’t wait to see it chuffing 😊

@29:14 "an insignificant part." If it holds steam in, it's NOT insignificant. That makes it worth doing right. Good job, Joe. On the other hand, if people can see it, it's not insignificant either. Actually, the best way to determine the significance of a part is to hold it above the bench and let go. If it falls onto the bench, it's significant. If it hangs there, it isn't.

[@joepie221]

I must confess, there are no insignificant parts. I put 100% effort into every component. I like your saying.

[@tonywilson4713]

Hey Joe, The Inch is defined as exactly 25.4mm and is therefore actually a metric measurement and things like 1in bar stock is also METRIC. Its all thanks to Carl Edvard Johansson the Swedish Engineer who invented the "Jo Blocks" or as they are more formally called gauge blocks. The Channel Machine Thinking here on YT did an awesome video on the subject titled "Origins of Precision." Its actually a pretty interesting story. Johansson's gauge blocks effectively decided the outcome of 2 World Wars by making it possible to make bits in one factory match bits made in other factories even if the factories were in different countries. Its kind of important that things like bullets made in one factory match the rifle barrels made in another. Likewise his gauge blocks made modern supply chain manufacturing possible. He really was someone who changed the world for the better.

[@bwyseymail]

Actually predates WW2, Henry Ford was having problems with having parts fit with exports to Europe and found Johansson. Made him an offer he couldn't refuse and brought him over as a Ford employee.

[@andylewis7360]

I was told an inch was 1/36 of the distance between Henry VIII’s nose and the tip of his middle finger. So they invented The Metric System because Henry got annoyed with people using him as a ruler! 😂

As always start off with serious scrutiny of the not blue blueprints and ponder them for a bit before sticking a toe into that boiling water beneath the pages of not blue eh, LOL. There you have a not forgotten fixture/jig to use again, modify in what ever fashion you need or want. Best buck ever saved and may be used again in the future. Love em all day long eh. HEY! Have you been messing with the time line ? This post has passed far too quickly eh, LOL. I must say that this build in particular is the most beautiful and involved of all the wonderful miniatures that are capable of making or driving their associate machines be able to do just what they are designed for. A good while back at the start of this great journey you wanted to make real parts from these miniatures. I am sure you haven't lead us astray on those words my dear friend. These are a vision of how the little machines produced the bigger and the bigger created the bigger yet. From the fire cracker to the Saturn 5 is a fair assessment don't you think, LOL. Like you I really like brass parts/thingies involved in a build are not just functional but with that special eye candy we love in these pieces. Well fella, you nailed another one tight to the wall my friend.

[@allanrichards3752]

A guy I know who has made a number of steam engines uses a silicone "O" ring rather than the traditional gland packing chord. This said wit the precision that you have made the piston and valve rod fits I don't really think you will need any packing. He also machines the pistons to take a silicone "o" ring as a piston ring. I've seen his engine run and they perform very well with this arrangement of "piston ring"

[@joepie221]

I used Teflon rings on my last engine. Maybe some Teflon plumbers valve packing would work. Easily available.

[@russkepler]

I use Viton o-rings for packing glands on all size engines. On small engines that are going to be display models I use Viton quad rings as piston rings. If you're never going to run on steam you can use Nitrile orings.

Joe, it is interesting how you are increasingly allowing metric to creep into your musings on occasion. I live in a metric country (Iceland) and while it was 50-50 metric/imperial when I did my machine mechanic apprenticeship more than 50 years ago (so I actually WAS and AM used to imperial) I find the metric measures simpler and more consistent. Of course, one works best with what one knows and it can be hard to let go and adapt to something new. Slowly does it...

[@joepie221]

So true.

[@davidbastow5629]

The 5/16-26 tpi is not a metric thread. It is part of the model engineers series of threads for pipe threads. There are a couple ME thread series and all the Stuart Turner models use them for pipes and glands. Since you are making both parts you may, of course, make them any pitch you like.

[@devmeistersuperprecision4155]

Hey Joe…. Love your latest video. I like the fast pace cuz I have been doing this for years. It may be a bit quick for folks just getting their hands dirty. The head design for tuff to adjust glands are an excellent idea. But I think you should make up a spanner. A). It keeps us entertained b). It prevents heavy fisted damage to a soft part with a punch and hammer. Sooooo you don’t like metric! LOL I was once approached by a person looking for metric dimensions for a Stradivarius violin. Long Story in my checkered skill sets. I explained to him that the metric system didn’t appear until that stubby chunky Napoleon adopted it 400 years after Stradivaris death! Starrett has gotten a lot of cash from us for imperial tools. The only metric measurement tools I have is a set of Brown and Sharpe Intramikes. Got them dirt cheap cuz they were metric. I got a lot of crap as a CNC machinist because our machines were German and metric and many of us were trained and tooled up as imperial. You get used to it when the idiots in the front office can’t understand imperial. But I share in your rash outbreaks when they throw about metric this and that. I also enjoy annoying these guys by responding with imperial numbers in lieu of metric numbers. I have a number of shrink rules I use for making patterns. Hell if I am getting metric shrink rules…. Don’t even know if they are still available.

[@joepie221]

That area is one where I wish I had prior knowledge of the stack. The lower cylinder cover had plenty of material to leave it longer for adjustment access, but then the cross head may have hit it during the stroke. For now, I have to ( somewhat) trust the print.
