    You continously demonstrate why I still consider your channel to be one of the very best on You Tube. Absolutely brilliant....thankyou.

    Nicely done, love the polishing/grinding stick. Someone can't sleep!

    I like the pseudo tail-stock to center the tap. Very innovative (I mean that idea could be 100 years old but new to me!).. Also the solder thinning and cutting of small strips. Again, clever and obviously borne of great experience!

      I'm 74 and it was new to me, too! There must be at least 100 times I wish I'd known that technique!

    Are the cut outs on the side of the cylinder optional? Like, are they there just for cool looks or do they actually serve a purpose?

    • @myfordboy
      @myfordboy  2 роки тому

      It would work without the cutouts. The extended cylinder forms a tru=nk guide that supports the pistin big end. The cutouts would reduce friction.

    Very cool project. Any reason why you don't use lubrication while turning/machining?

    • @myfordboy
      @myfordboy  8 років тому

      No lube needed for machining brass.( Or cast iron)

    Great video. Do you build from plans?

    • @myfordboy
      @myfordboy  8 років тому +2

      I am using plans for the basic design but I have changed the cylinder design and porting. I am fitting a larger boiler and styling it to look like a Byers industrial loco.

    When you make the lap, what kind of glue are you using and what are you spraying on it?
    Good video, thanks.

      It's a cyanoacrylic (super glue) with a spray activator. Commonly used for fsticking mitres on kitchen pelmets and cornice.

    How old is that makita drill ? Been a while since I've seen one like that !
    I can already see that this series will be one i will enjoy as much as the last if not more !

    • @myfordboy
      @myfordboy  8 років тому +1

      Probably 25 years old and still working.

    • @robertmatel8136
      @robertmatel8136 8 років тому

      what are you doing for batteries for the makita?

    • @hermannstraub3743
      @hermannstraub3743 8 років тому

      There are companies who put new cells in your old Batteries. Just send them in. BTW i use the same drill almost daily. 25 Years is about right.

    Hi myfordboy I want to start steam engineering could you give me any tips on how to start out I volonteer at a hearitage railway so I get how it all works I want to try making a model of a steam train called blue circle and would like to know what gauge you recommend

  • @trillytrap
    @trillytrap 8 років тому

    do you still have your plans for this? I'm very interested in trying to make that cylinder, but I still feel confused about the way the air works.. great video otherwise ! :)

    • @myfordboy
      @myfordboy  8 років тому +3

      The plans are here home.iae.nl/users/summer/16mmngm/Articles_htms/Cracker.htm
      Read the replies to Oliver Andrews regarding mods I made.

    • @trillytrap
      @trillytrap 8 років тому

      Absolutely fantastic. Thank you for your reply!
      I'm trying to see if it could fit as the motor for a mill i will be working on for a presentation project.
      I'll be trying to make it a bit bigger so it can reach 100-120mm from top to bottom.
