MrCrispin... Your methodology is sound, and your logic well reasoned. Just discovering your channel tonight, and having seen 5 or 6 of you other vids, I feel confident in saying you are doing things the right way. Using your mill bed as a flat surface is also a great idea. Some 25 years ago, when I worked as a machinist, we had a large piece of polished granite we used to accomplish the same task. The nice thing about the granite is that it does not flex whatsoever, and is less prone to thermal distortion. But for this task, the mill bed is an excellent choice. Whomever it may have been who mentored you must be quite proud, since you know way more than some machinist I have known twice your age.But I think I will sub. Anyone who plays 'Yakkity Sax' while demonstrating some repetitive and often boring segments gets my vote. :) Keep up the great vids.
This should be the basis of engineering curricula in schools and colleges. Well presented. Very clear. And just shows, what one can do without a smartphone :-) Crispin - carry on just the way you are. You have everyone's moral support I'm sure.
Made the time to look at all your videos, and just finished this one. I am so impressed with your work Mr. Crispin. I am impressed with every aspect, from the metalwork itself to your video production, the obvious very careful planning -you name it. Impressive.
Having recently found this series of videos, I can safely say if have learnt more about engineering and model locomotive construction than from any other source. MrCrispin, you are a very skilled engineer and an excellent teacher. I do hope you find time to continue with the series.
Brilliant work it must feel as if you are getting somewhere at last, that chassis is looking real good, I look forward with anticipation to the next part, great videos and thank you for sharing. Regards Tony
Very impressive Crispin, one can't help but notice the detail you have put into this project. Like Keith said, I too am a vid or two behind, so I'll have to get caught up! At the rate your going, this is going to be one beautiful project when it's finished. Nice to see the toolbox in the background, and enjoyed the music while you fast forwarded the video! Looking forward to the following episodes! Razor!
Really Cool Crispin, to see the build, I found a little time, to give a view and glad I did, now I'm going to have to back track a bit, on a couple leading up to this one! LOL I enjoy seeing the tools in your hands from the giveaway, along with the way you treat your tools. I love the diddy you used for the background during the fast forward and switching up the angles in the shots. It was a nice clear view on the quenching of your punches and I liked that you held the heat a bit and quick dipped then after the red had faded dropping them in. Cheers, ;{)------
Five plus years after the fact I doubt you ever read this but I'll have my say nonetheless. The Benny Hill theme music is actually "Yakkity Sax" by Boots Randolph. After WWII Mr Randolph plied his trade (for about nine years) in Decatur, Illinois, USA, which is located about 40 miles east of where I live in Springfield. I found your channel about a week ago and have been slowly catching up to this point. I don't usually sign in to UA-cam but for Boots Randolph music I'll sign in, subscribe and give a thumbs-up. You're an amazing craftsman Mr. Crispin and I look forward to watching the rest of your videos.
Found this very interesting and like other remarks about rivets took me back decades to school, good times well when I was in metalwork shop anyway, looking very nice job there.
top job Crispin i was waiting for some scantily clad ladies followed by Benny Hill to come in with that music can't wait to see you tackle the cylinders
Hello, thoroughly enjoying your videos, lots of details but not waffling too much. Plus I now know what a cross between machining and Benny Hill would look like!
I have never seen someone on YouYube with such a high like vs dislike ratio and the reason for that is apparent. I can only admire your work...awesome.
When I watched you make the axel bearing holders and rivit them to the chassis sides and they looked so nice I assumed they would be visible on the outside of the chassis because a lot of work went into them so was sorry to see them on the insides where there not very visible.
I don't believe American locos had buffers but likely someother system for keeping locos together...I will google for that. again, thanks for great videos :)
Matey, I am well impressed! I need to plough through the rest of your vids now. Personally I would have used the front face of the milling table as a straight edge, not that flimsy ruler though.
Man i never care about loco but really is impossible to don`t watch your videos. Your quality is just amazing!!! Just one ting. Sometimes when u screw the things up u sometimes use crisscross patern, But sometimes don't. I saw it when u place 4 screws. Tight them from center to outside. This way u have better distorcion. I always use it in automotive.
Great work Mr Crispin. I'm about to start my first 5" loco so I has been really good to see your progress and how too. Keep the great video coming! What your day job?
new to your channel but binge watching it ever since. Great machining and hand work. I was wondering how did you get the little pip on your transfer punches, I would .like to use that technique to build a set of transfer screws I need for a specific project. thanks, Teun (the Netherlands)
Is there not a slight risk that the cap with the washer will allow those holes to be slightly off as they can move a Little?The others will be spot on, but isnt there a risk with those screws holding while making the drill mark?Would it not be a safer bet to go with the counter sink on those too from start?
+new and old tech Hi. There is potential for the part to move and that is why I did it that way. If one of the first holes happened to go in wrong and I used the countersink it would twist or try and move the frames. By using the cap head and the washer I had a second chance to get the assembly right at each stage. Thanks for watching

AWESOME, and the Benny Hill theme music was the perfect addition!

This is absolutely best craftsmanship. It's magic.
Made the time to look at all your videos, and just finished this one. I am so impressed with your work Mr. Crispin. I am impressed with every aspect, from the metalwork itself to your video production, the obvious very careful planning -you name it. Impressive.
Love the use of cap head screws and penny washers before the countersunk screws. Watching this build very closely and learning an awful lot.
Fantastic! I wish I had your knowledge and skill. I think I'll my wood turning :
GREAT job
The chassis looks great. Very good video shots and fun Benny Hill music.
Loved this craftsmanship and attention to detail. Many thanks.
Your locomotive chassis looks flawless. I'm amazed by your skill and attention to detail.
Awesome little project. Glad to see you getting good use from the tools and you refining your craft, you do nice work.
Spot on perfection! I have used an entire day watching all your videos. I have enjoyed each one. Well done sir!
I am in awe!!! You are a very patient genius. Thank You for your efforts. I cant wait for more.

Excellent video Crispin packed full of useful information, interesting how you tempered your punches in one "dip". Thanks for sharing, Laurie
Brilliant work it must feel as if you are getting somewhere at last, that chassis is looking real good, I look forward with anticipation to the next part, great videos and thank you for sharing.
Regards Tony
Very nice build. Thanks for sharing!
Best one yet i think mr crispin very precise not a benny hill job just loved it, cant wait for the next one
This is looking GREAT! I really admire your patience and care.

Excellent job! Always a pleasure to watch your videos. Thanks for sharing.
Great work Mr. Crispin...! I particularly liked the center punch creations... Very cool. Thanks, Daniel.

Work to be proud of. Looking forward to the cylinders.
What a beautiful piece of work.

Extraordinary job. So very well done. Congrats.
Very well done Mr Crispin! I admire your engineering skills and practices! Looking forward for future videos!
Nice job! Looking forward to the continued build....thanks for sharing.
Awesome job as usual. Love the Benny Hill music during the fast bits!
Found this very interesting and like other remarks about rivets took me back decades to school, good times well when I was in metalwork shop anyway, looking very nice job there.
Another great video. very sound attention to detail!!!! Looking forward to the cylinder work.
This loco is better made than most cars. I am new to your channel, but will be watching all of it.
+Jeffrey Plum Thanks, thats high praise!
top job Crispin i was waiting for some scantily clad ladies followed by Benny Hill to come in with that music can't wait to see you tackle the cylinders
Looks amazing love watching your builds keep up the good work
Brilliant work - great video. Looking forward to the next instalment.
Thank you for these videos. They are really helpful.
Hello, thoroughly enjoying your videos, lots of details but not waffling too much. Plus I now know what a cross between machining and Benny Hill would look like!
Very nice job! Can't wait for more.
That chassis looks awesome. Though the drawings show 8BA holes for vaccum brakes on the front buffer beam, I just noticed they aren't on yours. :)
Great work, keep it up! Looking forward to the next video.
That was really fun to watch. Amazing detail. Keep after it as time and life allows :-)
I have never seen someone on YouYube with such a high like vs dislike ratio and the reason for that is apparent. I can only admire your work...awesome.
Thanks for your comment.
Absolute artwork......thanks!!!! Benny Hill rules!
Wow...the skill...... Very nice!!
Boots Randolph and Yackety Sax! Nice work on the loco!
Awesome work Mr. Crispin! Great to see it all come together. Keep up the good work, looking forward to the next video...
When I watched you make the axel bearing holders and rivit them to the chassis sides and they looked so nice I assumed they would be visible on the outside of the chassis because a lot of work went into them so was sorry to see them on the insides where there not very visible.
I don't believe American locos had buffers but likely someother system for keeping locos together...I will google for that. again, thanks for great videos :)
fantastic work!
I thought at first that your frame sides were too thin but with the addition of those stretchers I see where the strength comes from.
Matey, I am well impressed! I need to plough through the rest of your vids now.
Personally I would have used the front face of the milling table as a straight edge, not that flimsy ruler though.
he never used a ruler he used a rule . a ruler is a king or queen . and the rule he used is plenty good enough in the direction it needed to be
Man i never care about loco but really is impossible to don`t watch your videos. Your quality is just amazing!!! Just one ting. Sometimes when u screw the things up u sometimes use crisscross patern, But sometimes don't. I saw it when u place 4 screws. Tight them from center to outside. This way u have better distorcion.

great vids again Crispin. Keep Going.
Nice work. Keep it up
Again, love the video!!!
Good job!!!!
Great work Mr Crispin. I'm about to start my first 5" loco so I has been really good to see your progress and how too. Keep the great video coming! What your day job?
"Slip gages" are called "gage blocks", or "Jo-blocks" here in the U.S. I didn't understand what you were referring to until I saw them.
Please get on with the cylinders. My son and I are watching your progress with eager anticipation!
David Leahy Dont worry, part one's on its way!
I just saw this image on images for springbok locomotives :)
Awesome!

Hi
I think I uses a chamfering tool and just faced the rod untill I was left with a small point.
Is there not a slight risk that the cap with the washer will allow those holes to be slightly off as they can move a Little?The others will be spot on, but isnt there a risk with those screws holding while making the drill mark?Would it not be a safer bet to go with the counter sink on those too from start?

Why didn't you measure diagonals for checking squareness also?
Thanks to machines tools...!
i like ite
UP !!!!!!!
So painful having to watch you put those screws in with a simple Alan wrench. invest in a t-handle set if you like it old school XD.
