I've been watching your videos for a while now and you have inspired me to reach for the files much more often than I used to. Keep up the good work and the great videos. Cheers Mark
I've been watching the Decauville build which has been wonderful to watch. Having a narration over the Cracker build will probably encourage more people to give it a go. If you can add descriptions of techniques demonstrating the 'best way to do things' along the way I think this will make a wonderful instruction series. Even if the best way is the way that works for you rather than the 'text book' approach. Keep up the excellent work. I'm looking forward to seeing this series through.
Thanks James, for the Kind Words. Its just a Project that i startet 6 Month ago... Parallel to the Decauville. But the Fllod in Germany Hits us... and i can't work in the Shop in the moment. But to fill up waiting time, i addet the Clips and bring you something to watch. The Decauville continues in wintertime.... hopefully..... until then, enjoy the cracker Build. I thought about more description, or talk about my Way on it.... but i am still learning... (i am a carpenter) and i dont know if everything is done right 🤣🤣.... bit must be... the result tells..... But i will give more Focus on the Audition... thats New to me.... but i think it will turn out ok.... Stay healthy!!! Cheers!
Hi DS As Usual Great Hand Crafted Work, Nice to see you back relaxing a little on your passionate hobby, away from the traumatic floods. I often look through J De Waal's free plans, there's an amazing choice for the beginners and established miniature engineers, I might have a go at the Idris De Winton one day, but i want to do it in 5" gauge. Nice to hear the narration on the vids, I'm just involved in a small way with Nigel at Go Create Hobby Machine Shop helping on making 3 of his baby vices for a good cause over in the USA, He's got a collaboration of 9 you tubers helping out. See you next time Take Care Mr F
It's nice to see marking out tools and files being used correctly. I just watched a very well known UA-camr using files and a hacksaw in ways that deserved a slap on the wrist and a sharp rebuke!
Thanks Mark... yes there are some guys.. but i allways wonder why they don't see and feel that it does not work. You can feel that a File is used correct or wrong... and you can see it on the surface of the Part. Go into it, and do it with interest, makes you find out how to do it. But i think you know that!!! Have a nice weekend! Stay healthy
Awesome! 👍👏🙏 I love filing (new addition to my skill set--I live in an apartment where quiet rules!) and wish I had some of your measuring & marking tools--nice! Also love seeing the working engine in the intro. Nice voice, too!! 😁 BTW, it's "spot on". 😉
Great Job. Filing is the tool of a real tradesman, in time's long gone apprentices would be give a block of steel a set of drawings with sizes and a set of files. The block was marked for size how square it faces were and the finish surface had to shine like a mirror. If all aspect were not meet another block of steel was issued and the work performed again till it was right. This was done to show simple tools could produce exacting parts. Today they put the steel in a CNC mill and punch in a G code the skill gain how to press buttons.
2 years ago i would do anything to put the parts in an Mill... but i had no... and no Budget. So i had to learn to file.... today i have a small (cheap) Mill.... but i learned to love Filing.... really.... and enjoy it all time.... absolut fascinating for a wood craftsmen like me, to make Things like that.....
Great video, love the handwork! Maybe one small thing though, can you see if you can crank up the audio level a bit? Your sound level is much lower than the other videos around here ;-)
A cheap Kind of jewellery saw with a verry cheap 4 mm wide metal sawblade .....if you mean the material of the frameparts... its just 2 mm thick mild steel....
How do you make sure that the sides of the buffer beams (where they meet the frames) are square? If they aren’t dead square, then the whole thing won’t work. Do you have another video that shows how you did them? Thanks.
I filed them square... (nearly) you also can make Sure squareness, by force the Buffer and Frame square, and than lay the footplate on and transfair the mountingholes on the bufferparts. Or maybe just make the screwholes slightley bigger, and force all parts square while screw the footplate on.... Or just give the Bushes some clearence.... there are many ways to skin a cat....
Nein. Dieses Projekt entstand vor etwa einem Jahr. Durch die Flut und die Arbeiten danach, komme ich derzeit nicht in die Werkstatt. Die Clips der Cracker sind ein Pausenfüller

I've been looking forward to this since it was announced.
Thanks! I hope it makes you happy and try out yourself. Have a nice Sunday!

Thanks MF ... Im following your build! And a great collaboration. I would join in .... but its nothing for my limited Shop state....
Stay healthy!
Very nicely done, it's comforting to watch files being used correctly, and well. The results speak for themselves. Cheers, Jon

Excellent work like always.

Thanks a lot! .... i will give it a try.... !!!
Nice!!
Great Job
Nice work what plate are you using to make these side parts
A cheap Kind of jewellery saw with a verry cheap 4 mm wide metal sawblade .....if you mean the material of the frameparts... its just 2 mm thick mild steel....

Ist denn die Decauville schon fertig?

@@dreamsteam8272 oh, hoffe, dass es euch nicht zu sehr erwischt hat.
Aber trotzdem vielen Dank für die super Videos.
Can't open the plan on PC. Says something went wrong.
You need a PDF Reader... like Adobe for free
@@dreamsteam8272 It didn't work because my PC had like 3% battery and was trying to preserve it, so it blocked me from downloading the PDF 🤣
👍👍😎👍👍
