Your so far by my opinion by far most super awesome handy and interesting beginners video!!!! This is Exactly the kind of answers I wanted for my questions! REALLY nice work!
I'm currently planning to build a horizontal boiler, based some-what off a mamod. I'm planing to make it using a length of brass pipe. Do you have any suggestions for things I should do?
Thank you Sir for sharing your time and knowledge, I enjoy your posts because of your easy to follow, I might imagine you were or are an educator, Thanks again.
Thank you for your kind comments ..... I have been a Musician/Sound Engineer/Computer Engineer and part time college lecturer on computers, but I wouldn't call myself an educator as such .....
Thanks for the video Keith, I had a few questions about this particular boiler though; I was wondering what make and model it is? As well as how well does the single flue tube work for creating steam? I was hoping to build a simple traction engine boiler using the same method Many thanks, Jack :)

Hi
Its hard to see from the picture exactly what you have built, can you give a tutorial on how you built the pressure tester
Very good as usual Keith - many thanks.

Great video, it’s very helpful! I have just one question. How do you determine the working pressure of the boiler?
That is set by the boilermaker based on the design and application.
@@keithappleton I was hoping there was a formula or a rule of thumb based on size. I have an old boiler of unknown origins that I'd like to test.
hello Keith where can i get model traction engine boiler certificated to prove pressure is correct ty love your vids
join a local model engineering club. The will test the boiler for you.
It just came to me I was wondering maybe if you could do a tutorial on manifold for all our miniature railway fans and builders out there
Boilers/Beginners something just don't sound right about that LOL! thanks ran your tests, at work we had a swimming pool to check our welds :o)
I'm wanting to build my own boilers what type of
copper pipe should I use "M" or "L" type copper pipe
+tyler ngruden No idea - I don't make boilers.
+Keith Appleton o ok thank you
Ok thank you for the tip
use Copper pipe - it is much better .....
Brilliant
Very helpful - thanks.
Isn’t it called a hydrostatic test ?
It is known as Hydraulic Testing - that's why I called the episode "Hydraulic Boiler Testing" . . . . . .
@@keithappleton thanks for the reply Keith! Love your videos. You’re an excellent tradesman
