And so began the Quindustrial revolution.
🤣😂🤣
Winner
Bravo!
Or maybe more appropriately The Quindustrial Dance Dance Revolution
You've been waiting months to say that, haven't you?
I would like to hear more about the endurance race car.
I second that request!
Thirded!
Agreed, now she HAS to do it. 4 of us commented.
Yes, please
5th
Congratulations, Quinn! I'm very glad to see your steam engine actually run on live steam. Now I know why the English model makers drink so much tea!
2:49 thanks for not letting us down. We gotta stick to traditions!
Congratulations Quinn! I wish my Dad could have completed his steam engine. He was building a 24 foot tugboat using a 5 hp
double acting engine. Unfortunately, a lousy leukemia shortened his retirement. He had the engine built and was ready to have
the boiler constructed and just started the frame in his basement. To see the completion and test of the engine warms my heart.
I have a model of the full size one he made sitting on a shelf above me. I go to live steam whenever I can find one to reminisce and
see what others do. Again, Quinn my wife and I enjoy your narrations very much. Now I have to open my machinist chest and break out my Starrett 0-1 inch that is almost 50 years old and measure some brass plate that I am going to build an enclosure for electronics to get a radio telescope going, a 50 year dream. Thanks for another video!
Ok you’ve just made my day that little cut to you dancing was most amusing and has cheered me up I thank you for your humour
"It's fine, save your comments" LOL You tell em Quinn
"Lousy machinist compensator fluid". I got a good belly laugh from that comment, I nearly spit my coffee out :)
Loctite is careful machinist insurance fluid. For lousy machinist compensation, we use teflon tape.
I would definitely agree with the lousy machinist compensator fluid .
i agree... also sticky, heavy grease is good for a few thou lol
AHHH! I can smell steam and hot oil here in England. Well done your craftsmanship is wonderful. I scratch-built a horizontal steam engine for my "A" level exams in 1964. It still runs on compressed air.
I used to give zero farts about steam engines, but you Quinn, have made steam fun again. Awesome excellentness.
Let's hear more about those race cars!
Yes please! Les in UK
This is just fascinating. I could watch it for hours. Little dabs of oil here and there and Tweaking of pressure. It is just fun to watch.
And it's the first time I laughed at a tea bag!
Now you have make a miniature saw, lathe, and loom for the steam engine to power, your own little factory mill. Great video series. I always look forward to the next one.
Joe Pie is building a micro sized lathe for his and I wouldn't wish that pain on anyone
You understand that from now on we’ll be expecting the yahtzee dance in every (other) video, right ? Awesome !
That reminded me of that piece of history where James Watt invented the kettle when he saw his steam engine boil over.
I have to make a (VERY primitive) adapter/coupler out of a chunk of aluminum round bar stock. Being a newbie hobbyist machinist, as I’m planning my order of operations: “Ok, hacksaw to cut off a chunk of this rod, then I’ll mount it in the chuck as straight as possible, next I’ll face the end... as is tradition.” No kidding, “as is tradition” keeps going through my mind. Thank you for that!
Very cool Blondie ... I’ve been a Steam Fitter for 40 years... great job !!!!
So much nicer than compressed air
And that boiler is a work of art!
Quinn where the heck did you pick up those awsome machinist dance moves i never came across them in any handbook, nice job as always live steam yeah!!!!!
You know the missing parts of the dead Sea scrolls that machinery's hand book was transcribed from in 100AD? They didn't transcribe the dance portion. They recently recovered the machinist dance scroll.
@@chrisstephens6673 I believe they burned the originals as heresy so we needed to go back to the original source. Rumor has it if you do it right, you'll never break a tap
Very appropriate for a shop dance - no flailing limbs to get caught in anything.
Knew you would drop a tea bag in there, well done. Nice..
If you HADN’T dropped one I’d have had to think about unsubbing...
Live steam!! Yay!!!
I absolutely lost it when you put the teabag in that cup 😂🤣 The subtlety of that humour made it perfect!
You are such an amazing and engaging machinist 🥰
Yahtzee dance! Loved it!😍
Well done, Quinn.
I was in need of one crimp connector and crimper to get a tractor running and NAPA was across the street. I ran over and bought their cheapest set of connectors with crimper. Stripped the wire, said the connector on, crimped it and the crimper broke. Like, right through the handle. Customer was waiting, so I ran back, exchanged, and this one got the crimp tight. Everything went right into the round file.
Nice to hear you mention Keith Appleton! I enjoy his channel as well as his sense of humor lol
I didn't realize how emotionally invested I was in this project until I "WOOOO"d when the engine ran!
Great to see it running on steam. I saw a couple videos of Mr. Pete's where he ran steam so I was prepared for the mess it makes.
100% loved the Yahtzee dance! I love your videos. Im an amateur hobby machinist/PhD slave researcher who lucked into a $200 Smithy CB1239, and I binge watched all your videos as soon as I found your channel. Thanks for all the inspiration!!!
Quinn , There is something very relaxing about watching that steam engine run , It reminded me of the Movie The African queen when you made a cup of tea from the boiler (drew water from the boiler )
After watching this pm research steam engine build series, I finally understood why engines previously had to be broken in. And also why in this day and age of very high-precision manufacturing, engine break-in is no longer so crucial. Congratulations on the successful live-steam first run! Best regards from Brasilia, Brazil.
She said it guys! She said "as is tradition"! Yay!
The dancing monkey bit had us laughing out loud. The callback was perfect. Well done!
About these wires used as farmers hose clamps.
I learned many years ago working with instruments in gliders that you should have two loops around the hose before twisting them, that way you will even clamping and not have the small area around the twist where there might cause a leak.
Great video! I remember building a steam engine similar to this when I was really young. Now I'm building my 4th steam locomotive. Quite the journey.
The timing of your sense of humor is giving me sympathetic resonance (in the form of laughter). You seem like you would be delightful to have as a friend.
6:30 I have that same blowdown container. I don't have a steam engine yet though so I've just been using it for coffee in the meantime.
If you attached a steam pipe while blowing down, you can warm your coffee in that process! It's good to see it steam up, the sound is entirely different on steam vice compressed air, very good sounding, thanks!
If I can give one tip... when the valve wears over many years it will cause uneven wear. This is because your entire valve face is flat. There should be a step upto the valve face and the valve should very slightly run off the edge of the face this ensures the valve face can wear without creating a step for the valve to hit. Engine runs nice great job 👏
LOL. Demented minds think alike! As soon as you started blowing down the steam into the coffee cup, I thought, Tea time! Cheers
A steaming station. Mulled wine anyone?
Does that tea taste like steam cylinder oil?
So jazzed to see this -- and the "dancing"? ... yes, the "dancing", too. :)
Great job Quinn! I remember when I ran a W&S turret lathe back in the 70's I had a friend bring in some brass to turn down for his model train engine. Was really cool to watch it run on live steam when he had it finished.
The "Monkey Dance" wins the YT category for outstanding shop humor of the year! Take care!
I am an ex RCAF avionics technician. Raychem makes excellent milspec terminals. Grip well and last long time. More expensive but great for projects that you want high reliability from.
Nice one been waiting ages to see the little engine run. Beautiful work. Cant believe that some clumsy people missed the like button.
Love it! All that's needed is a steam whistle to signal tea-break!
Came for the live steam; stayed for the dancing, but the cup of tea from the boiler is what made it for me!
So much fun! Thanks.
I'm a retired cabinetmaker, but find this sooooo interesting.
There's nothing more satisfying than building something then watching it come to life.🤯
You are really genius the way you did everything from 0 to 100 was just amazing.
Feed it well and it'll grow up to be a big locomotive someday!
Oddly satisfying to watch a steam engine in operation!
I started smiling at 7:14 and didn’t stop till the end.
Nice Build!!!, I saw your video on machining the flywheel, that paid off, looks awesome,!!!!
Every time a new episode comes it's almost like christmas
this is art Quinn, has a proposal to build a scale sawmill with flat belt.
keep going Quinn. :)
It's a joy to watch it running!
The culmination of a lot of love and attention to detail. Thanks, Quinnlette, for the great ride.
Tea...with a hint of steam oil...lovely.
I swear these videos crack me up more and more with each one.... all while teaching me things. 😄👍🥰
Awesome to see it come to life. I have a similar engine from bar stock that I started years ago but never finished. Time to think about digging it out again.
Even as a viewer, I found this so satisfying- well done 👍🏻
Sierra Hotel!!!
Ps. Liked the dancing, reminded me of the ground hog in “Caddie Shack”🤩🤩🤩
The sound of that thing running is amazing and you’re dancing put me in mind of Signfield and a Lane
Congratulations Quinn, I enjoyed watching you build your steam engine project and this video, judging by the other comments, many other viewers enjoyed it too!
Wow now that was fabulous and perfect dance moves too. Thanks for sharing...Vic
The monkey dance has great meme potential!
Everytime you post a video you provide me with information, education and a great deal of humour Thank you , but keep practicing those dance moves !
This channel suddenly got very steamy. I hope you don't get demonitized.
It works! We never doubted it would. Yup, paintwork and polishing aside, it's a Quinticentually working model! Nice series and thanks for having us in to watch! Cheers! Keep Well!
Quinn, I think you're awesome.
Congrats, what a beautiful machine!
Hahaha love the content. Don't change. The quirks, bloops, and "imperal fist shake" makes everything so much fun to watch.
Awesome to see it run!
What a great series! I've really enjoyed your comments, humor, and expertise. Keep up the great work!
Must be great to have your own merch to drain the excess water into! Amusing and informative as ever.
Your added humor is appreciated.
I’m sorry Quinn, but unless you follow tradition, it is not a Blondiehacks video, it is a knockoff. Excellent video. Thank you.
That’s a great sound! Congratulations, Quinn.
Lovely job Quinn, nice to see it running so nicely.
It's a plug in hybrid engine, runs on steam and electricity.
this got a hearty giggle out of me
It's alive!!
I loved this whole series. I hope you do another multi part video build of something like how this was
Smooth as a sewing machine.
That’s some beautiful work you did.
She stole my dance moves!
🍾🍾🍾 congratulations on your steam success
Congratulations! That was sooo satisfying to watch. I can only guess at how much more satisfying it was for you!
Congrats! Almost there!
Been following the build since it started, and I'm glad I did. Very, very cool.
Well done Quinn. I can't wait to see the engine painted and on its base.
Congratulations Quinn, very rewarding to see all your hard work come to life thanks for sharing.
Congratulations Quinn, it's a thing of beauty.
What a journey! Loved every step along the way.
Quinn you got skills well done!
Very good! Must’ve been quite exciting to have it come to life on steam after all of that work. Thanks.
Always educational as well as entertaining, congrats, thank you!
Your humour is just always on point. Love your videos!
Success!! Awesome job Quinn!!😊
Way to go Quinn, I love your sense of humor. Please keep up the great work.
Great video. Congrats on getting it on steam. Mahalo for sharing!🙂🐒
Well done Blondi. That must have been a truly great feeling seeing it run the way it is meant to. All the best from Australia my friend
IT LIVES !
