Thanks! I really got a lot of enjoyment from seeing this go from "a boring useless piece of aliminium scrap" to a running functional engine. Seeing it run on live steam was amazing..... I love it. The sound is so different from air and it really is smooth.
One of the best ways to learn something is to watch and listen to the old masters. Great videos. You remind me of my dad, a tool and die maker for 50 years. I wish he was still here to teach me more. However, you'll do nicely. 😊
Excellent series Mr Pete! Thanks for sharing it with us! That's a great running little engine! Yes! I remember that scene from African Queen, great movie!
Mr Pete your enthusiasm shines through on your videos, along with your knowledge of your subject. With your easy going style and great camera work it makes me think i can do this. Thanks for taking the time to put this series together its most appreciated.
Man I love these videos. Every time I see a new steam engine video posted by Mr. Pete I start checking youtube constantly waiting for the next installment.
Dear Mr. Pete: I have enjoyed these series ever so much. I hope to some day soon have the time to make my own little engine that could. However in the mean time I am content to seat back and enjoy your videos. Thanks for sharing with us.
Hi mrpete, Really enjoyed that series, got lots of questions answered all along, one more project to add to my already too long "To do" list. Thanks a million, Pierre
Another outstanding engine build series. I would love to see you build a double acting steam engine. I am currently in mid construction of a scratch built one (no plans). It is my first double acting and it will be a new challenge for me. Video when I complete it! Thanks Mr. Pete for a great inspirational series. And yes we are all boys at heart! Fred
Clayton Firth Hey Clayton. Check out my channel if you like home built model engines. I will be posting my double acting steamer build when I finish it later this month. Cheers! Fred
Excellent series. I was glued to the computer waiting with intrepidation for the next installment. Fun project with lots of interesting machining and measuring tasks. Thank-you.
Thanks for taking the time to show in detail all the parts and how they work....as always I have really enjoyed this series of videos ...I have a daughter that is in mechanical engineering school I think this will be me and her a good project when she gets home for summer break
What a GREAT video series ! Thank you so much Mr. Pete for taking the time to make and share your great videos with us ! I will be anxiously awaiting your next video ! Warmest regards , Art
As usual this series has been a pleasure to watch. I have a few projects on the go at the moment so I may have a go at this at a later date. A big thank you from the North East of Scotland.
Lovely job Mr Pete especially for the younger ones to understand how a steam engine works ,whether they would have any interest or not is another thing but I enjoyed it
Excellent series mrpete. I enjoyed it very much. I have all the materials in a box ready to start this project as soon as I can. This will be a practice exercise for me as I have now acquired a set of Stuart 10V castings to machine immediately afterwards. I am also looking to build a beam engine from scratch one day. My wife hands me all the castout towels/sheets etc for the workshop. Being an engineer herself she understands exactly what I need which is great at birthdays and Christmas. regards from the UK
Nice series, I enjoyed it very much. I guess I 'll get out to the shop and make one of those soon.It looks like a big improvement over a couple of wobblers I made a while back. Thanks TC.
Well Mr Pete this was a very enjoyable series, You convinced me to build a engine just like yours. Hope Toly dose some drawings in metric too. Thank you for filming and sharing your work. much appreciated. It's a beautiful little engine.
Enjoyed your full series on this steam engine build. Maybe some day I will get a lathe and some other metal working tools so I can build one. There are a lot of things I would like to do but I am only a few years behind you Tubalcain. Thanks!
Thanks Mr Pete another great video series. This one really helped explain how a valving system works. Hopefully you will attempt to build a double acting next or a double piston. I really like the series format it gives me something to look forward to.
mrpete, that was wonderful! I enjoyed each and every video. I will build this engine and use your "what to do when you ruin parts" technique as necessary.
Excellent as ever Mrpete, I've enjoyed the series. The set screw on the flywheel is not a grub screw though, the screw you used on the eccentric is what we refer to as the grub because of its appearance.
Cute engine! The piston valve reminds me of one I build while still in High School. Plans were in Popular Science magazine, about '65. Wish I could find the issue.
Excellent series of videos. Iam a wood worker and tunner myself and I don't have any metal working machinery but I sure do find this very interesting and find myself wanting a metal lathe and mill.
Very nice sir very nice. You know you talk about how quiet steam is. I posted a video of Joe Scales Mikado live steam locomotive that he let me run here in Florida. At the end of the video we were putting the engine to be and doing a little last minute switching. Aside from having too much water in the boiler. At 85 pounds of steam she was just as quiet as a church mouse.
Mr. Pete, Fantastic series. How about a "mini prony brake" to determine the hp output of your engine. It would be "fun" and almost as interesting as the power developed by a fly doing pushups. Keep them coming. Phil
An erg is the amount of work done by a force of one dyne exerted for a distance of one centimeter. In the CGS base units, it is equal to one gram centimeter-squared per second-squared (g·cm2/s2). It is thus equal to 10−7 joules or 100 nanojoules (nJ) in SI units. An erg is approximately the amount of work done (or energy consumed) by one common house fly performing one "push up", the leg-bending dip that brings its mouth to the surface on which it stands and back up. Awesome ...
Mr. Pete - Thank You for sharing. Together with my teen-age son we are building our first Vertical Steam Engine. You are our teacher, our mentor and our newly found friend thanks to You Tube. I'm a senior Jet Refueling Technician, and Dave is a sophmore in high-school where he scores the highest in Math and Computer Coding. We're somewhere between parts 2 and 3 right now, but we're determined and always looking ahead ( if you know what I mean ), and although we spend more hours talking about the project than actually working on it, two questions have come to mind : Do you think she'll run on jet fuel ? and where can we mount a USB port so we can plug in the engine analyzer when it comes time to adjust the timing ? Now of course you know..."we're kidding" about the fuel and the usb port, but we're very serious about the project and working with you again in the future
thank you i really enjoyed the videos. made me go from not much interest in small steam engines to trying to figure out how to build one into a small model boat. maybe a twin cylinder hmm
Really enjoyed watching your videos on building this model engine and would like to build on myself. Where and when can we get the drawings for the verticle engine with spool valve.
Thank you Mr.Pete for sharing a great series of a great project,really enjoyed it and leaned a great many tips and ideas.However I have got to learn to get away from it if I make a mistake instead of headbutting the wife and kicking the cat.Your way is much better.
Thanks! I really got a lot of enjoyment from seeing this go from "a boring useless piece of aliminium scrap" to a running functional engine. Seeing it run on live steam was amazing..... I love it. The sound is so different from air and it really is smooth.

Thanks for watching. Watch the next build where I load it with a dynamo
nice work brother really nice !
What a wonderful project. I will be making this once Ive gathered some more tools A+
Thanks for watching
I had to stop the video and comment on the guidance for ruining parts. EXCELLENT!!!

Nice video series Mr. Pete.
Thanks for watching
Good Video as always - thank you for your time and information - you inspire others to create! Thanks Again....
Thanks for watching
I believe the call them "grub screws'' because they don't usually have a head, and that type looks like a little grub!
thank you i really enjoyed the videos. made me go from not much interest in small steam engines to trying to figure out how to build one into a small model boat. maybe a twin cylinder hmm

Thanks for watching
Very nice project. Thanks
Thanks for watching
Wow! This is great!
Thank you
Great Job once again still enjoy your videos take it easy :)
Thanks for watching
Nice engine. It runs much nicer on steam.
great videos, very informative.
Thanks for watching
Very nice !
Thanks for watching
I call them grub screws as well. It's because the screw looks a bit like a small worm or insect larva
Thank you sir!
