Thanks for another great video. I like the idea of the organizers for the drawers. Easy circles and a flat bottom. I think this is another idea I will look at doing as well. Regards, Ken
Thanks so much for your videos. I learn so much all the time. As I plan to eventually build a six cycle engine myself, I would of course love to see that build.
As one of at least a few that specifically requested this info- I can’t thank you enough! This is *exactly* the kind of “old timer info” that a younger guy like myself (42) is interested in. It’s great to see where experience allows you to deviate from the book, so to speak. Thanks so much- I found this exceptionally helpful! My vote is the oddball gas engine because Blondiehacks, Joe Pie, and Mark Presling have all done very in depth builds on steam engines. The tips and tricks uniquely needed for a gas engine have not been well covered in UA-cam (at least to my knowledge)
By the way, if you posted a PayPal link or a patreon- I’d happily subscribe. I get not only great entertainment value from your videos, but also education that is very challenging to find elsewhere. Thanks again!
@@deemstyleHi ,Thank you for the information on the steam engines that Blonde Hacks and Joe Pie did, I didn’t think of that. I think this is a good case for doing the six cycle first. Joe
Hi Joe. I have castings for the Geo Thomas universal pillar tool and tapping head yet to build but hopefully will do soon. I vote for the steam engine as it has features I’ve not seen on any model mill engines I’ve seen up to date. However I’d like to see both engines built. That engine you are working on in this video screwing the beading on looks like a very interesting engine and you’re doing a great job making it look like a casting. I hope you show us the finished article working, all the best Nige.
@@nigesbasementworkshop9541 Hi Nigel, the engine that I am working on is the Mary Explosive engine. You can bet that when I get it running I’ll make a video about the build. Joe
@@rcurry8531 The only people who I know that make model bolts is Godshall machining. This is the link. godshallscustommachining.com/ So far the steam engine is winning Joe.
@@taranson3057 Gee that’s tough one. I haven’t purchased drills lately.The only thing that I really recommend is stick with American drills for number drills and letter drills. You have to pay more for good ones. Joe
@@JoesModelEngines I prefer high quality drill bits which at one point I had until they were borrowed and never returned and I cannot for the life of me remember where I bought them, so I play hit and miss with Amazon sellers
@@taranson3057 I agree McMaster Carr is high priced but they usually have what I want. I used to get a lot of machine tools from Enco, but I think they are now completely owned by China or someone outside the USA.
@@richardboucher6904 Hi Richard, We have decided to do the six cycle oddball engine. It should hopefully be the first video this week. Thank you for your interest and your comments. Joe
@@larryortman358 I have all high speed steel taps and I use them a lot . Carbon steel taps just don’t stay sharp as long. They are good if you only have a few holes to tap or you are tapping soft material. Thank you for your interest, Joe
Thanks Joe, for your video. I learn something new every time i tune in.👍

@@RogerSchoeni Hi Roger, I think that we may do both, but so far the steam engine is first. Thanks for the comment and your interest.Joe

I prefer the IC engines. The ignition always adds some complexity.
@@grntitan1 I think that We should maybe do both, we’ll see how much interest we get on the first one. After that we can make a decision. Joe
Thanks, Joe, very good video. Build the steam engine. Thank you. One more thing where do you get your bolts from.

Thank you. @@JoesModelEngines
Great advice and demo.
Steam engine is my opinion
@@paulfisher1160 Hi Paul, thank you for your interest and your comment. We are just trying to give useful information to other engine builders. Joe
I would like to know where you get your drill bits. The drill bits that I have won’t drill into steel let alone brass.

@@taranson3057 Granger, has most American 🇺🇸 made stuff. Give them a try.
@@JoesModelEngines I know that their machines are made in China. I could perhaps buy them from McMaster the over priced over rated supplier
@@taranson3057 I agree McMaster Carr is high priced but they usually have what I want. I used to get a lot of machine tools from Enco, but I think they are now completely owned by China or someone outside the USA.
I prefer a gas engine, because there are few gas engine builds in comparison to steam engine builds.
Hi Joe, I would like to see the gas engine build. haven't been successful with a gas engine yet.

Do you prefer carbon taps over his taps?
