I built an oscillating engine from Vic Smeed's book "Model Boating" There is a small diagram of a marine type engine in the book chapter on steam power. It's missing some dimensions but using standard conventions for model construction a workable engine can be made. ua-cam.com/video/ahrROlDK-no/v-deo.html I'm working on some dimensioned drawings as I build my third prototype.
Just Another "machining" Video.... always lathe's.... mill's..... If youre able to read and have a Plan and a lathe.... youre able to build Everything.....
get a mini lathe and let the creativity be the limit haha. sure you could make almost anything with only a hand saw and drill, but they won't be that precise. spinning parts would have runout, edges would not be square so... you can sometimes find a cheap hobby lathe or mill, used on Craigslist or at auction for under $400 or if you're crafty, you can make these machine tools DIY
@@pauls5745 Well said! It's ever getting cheaper and cheaper to get the basic machines to start making interesting projects. I don't rate the cheap import lathes for instance, but they serve a purpose to get more people interested in this hobby! Cheers
If you like steam, Check out my latest video making some replacement "Bing" parts from scratch!
Nice job. Looks like it runs good.
If you are going to run the engine on compressed air, plain old pipe solder woks fine for joining parts.
Yes, that's right, In this case, I planned to, and did, run the engine on both compressed air and occasionally on super-heated/dry steam.
Well done great video all the best from John in Texas
Nice. Just came across your channel and subscribe. I’m interested in steam myself
Great hobby to get into. I'm hoping to make a new steam engine for this channel soon!
possible to get some schematics?
None for this one sadly. Though Im hoping to build a slide valve type engine soon which I'll have plans for.

What do you mean, DIY-Chris?
