My only complaint about this video is that it was over too soon :) Seemed like 4 minutes instead of 24. And that's an awesome build. I've only recently discovered your channel, and I've been bingeing on it. Interesting projects, fantastic presentation, and very engaging.
Been binge watching for a few weeks now, interjected with memories of my Dad's fitting turning tool making shop. And feeling all inspired and with a gap that needed filling I put in my order last week for a 300mm x 700mm Lathe/mill combo from a major machine shop in my state ... plus jigs and tooling... Yeah, memories of Dad and his substantial machining shop have taken on a whole new meaning set.

Hooray! If there's an even bigger boiler in the works I'm hoping for a classic horizontal firetube boiler, or a miniature three-drum boiler. But a watertube boiler would be cool too!
In the UK a major maker of packing and gasket in was/ is James Walker who made Lion brand packing. The factory was right by the railway and as a child I would see the sign “ Lion Packing” I would puzzle as to why Woking should have a factory packing lions. Ah, the joys of youth!
JFTYA (just for the UA-cam Algorithm): Many congrats for the final touches on the beautiful engine! As much as I would love to this for myself, I will likely never have the opportunity, so thank YOU for bringing us along side you on your journey!
Yay. Congrats! Looking forward to it running on steam. That sound of it running is so soothing, I feel like a long video of it just running would be lovely. Think of it like the machinists version of a burning log video. Machinists ASMR or a sleeping aid.
That colour is perfect, and it looks so much better with the new hardware, totally worth the time it undoubtedly took despite you down-playing that bit :) Its nice to see such a large engine being made on "hobby" tools, I've enjoyed watching this whole series, trials and tribulations too. Well done.
It is beautiful and it runs like a fine watch! You can be very proud of your skills in building this fine engine. I’m looking forward to see it running on steam. Thanks for taking us along on this journey.
I spent 25 years working on steam and hot water systems including, and especially, maintenance. Packing nuts are a pretty loose fit and the stems are polished. Otherwise they tear up the packing pretty fast. Remember that it's the packing that provides the seal not the packing nut. The packing nut only compresses the packing for a better seal. So your solution was the correct way to go. There are only 2 things that I'd suggest. Number one is, when installing the packing, cut the ends at 45 degrees or less where they meet instead of 90 degrees. I always shot for about 30 degrees. It provides a better seal that way. Second, use some silicone grease on the stems where they interact with the packing. It's not strictly necessary but it helps with smoother operation, helps prevent corrosion on the stems, and extends the life of the packing. Otherwise, great job as always Quin and thank you for sharing the good, the bad, and the ugly!! I always learn something new. Sprocket's looking at me funny again! It's freaking me out!! STOP IT!!!
Excellent quality work. "Turn of the century" Industrial technology that shouldn't be forgotten. Too much fun. Well done and such a high level of machining skill.. Outstanding. May I comment on a comment; "Happy little steam engines". So good! (The big ones did big work!) .. This person is a rare example of a smart machinist/artist/builder/thinker/ cool person. I like her. Thanks so much for sharing. J. from Michigan 🫡🤠.
The sound is so cool one should have one in the house somewhere that just keeps on running. Add a whistle for variation and you got a nice sounding house.
Quinn - Bravo on completing this fascinating project! It's great to see your painstaking attention to detail pay off with such a beautiful, and beautifully-operating machine. It will be great to see it run under live steam!
11:20 if you have or know somebody with a lasercutter,they can make nice seals also.Since i have one i do lots of my seals for engines,oilpans etc myself.For easy copying them i just lay the old gasket or the part itself(if possible) on the scanner ,get the scan into the lasersoftware and get it cutted.Saves me lots of time.And reproducing them when already saved is just a mouseclick away.
And this is why I don't make steam engines - I wouldn't ever want to turn the thing off! I love the sound of them and would want to find an excuse for something for it to be doing - running a clock, charging batteries, something. Great project and it runs, looks (and sounds) fabulous!
Quinn , To say you do good work is and understatement, Tip for you if you punch a little hole in the can of POR 15 , drain off what you need for a small project put a screw with a little gasket in the hole the POR 15 Has a much longer shelf life. I believe the Theory is if you don't remove the lid the integrity of the factory sealing lasts much longer .. I have thrown out a number of hard cans of POR 15 its worth a shot ??? Pete M
If you ever re-arrange the shop, put the mill left of lathe in line with the head stock. You can mount a steady rest on mill bed to support long pieces of stock in the lathe. Warning thread washer.. don't get it. Cut rings at 15-45 degree angle for total seal. Absolutely MAGNIFICENT build!!! Loved following the series!
You are truly a fantastic engineer, you raise the bar time after time. When I’m building it makes me think, is what I’m doing the best I can do! Keep up the amazing work in 2023!
Amazing fine work Lady...Thanks you.....l grew up in the late 1940's and my Dad owned a very big Tannery and about 450 employees.....lt was all ran by steam engines and some large live Steam engines were two stories high...lt was a wonderful place to grow up ans learning about Steam power... Shoe🇺🇸
Yes ma'am, oil gets everywhere. Wanna see my shirt after this weekend operating a Case traction engine? I can't wait to get my little vertical plumbed and operating the line shaft in the shop.
Love the engine, very nice. Big steam fanatic , was in the USN BT2 we had stick shift boilers. All manual M type DD-876, I'm also a Canuk . Great videos.
You've made a beautiful engine! I envision you creating a steam engine/leather belt-driven cat carousel🎠. A Catrousel. Ya know, for summers in the yard.
Dear Quinn! First of all, sorry for my English, because I don't know the language well enough, I am forced to use Google translator. I really like what you show in your films. Once upon a time - decades ago - my dream was to do the things you do. I even tried. However, they were far from the beautiful things you do. Unfortunately, in my country, I did not have access to the materials, tools and machine tools you have. Thanks Quinn! You do a beautiful job and bring people a lot of joy
Great to see it running nicely at the end. Good work on the fine fettlin'. Maybe your next project should be making a Boiler more than big enough to power all your engine's at the same time.
I stumbled upon this today from another channel, and was instantly hooked! I was thinking that it felt like watching Bob Ross build a steam engine, when low and behold I hit the "Happy Little Trees interlude". Looks like I have some wonderful catching up to do. If you didn't already have a Tasmanian subscriber, you do now!
FYI... I bought several rubber corks off of Amazon (sized correctly) that would fit in the back end of my Precision Matthews headstock. And drilled different size holes, centered in each of the corks, to facilitate extra-long stock sticking out and flopping in the breeze (I do a lot of cue shaft work). Might give that a try for a quick easy way to stop the flop.
I used to be a professional lathe operator, with series of 100+ 6 mm threads parting off and chamfering in the same set up using collets. That is supposedly one of the advantages of using collets.
Outstanding success Quinn, I am absolutely pleased for you. All that time and effort along with some “my brain hurts” moments and having to find some work arounds for some items, that’s what makes your channel so interesting. You show people that small difficulties need not be big ones. I am a retired Marine Engineer, trained on steam and sailed on steam ships for many years before having to transfer over to motor ships. My boss always told me, its not a cock up if you can find a way to rectify any mistakes made. I think you were a little challenged with this build but as always, you managed to pull it off with flying colours. You have come a long way since your humble beginnings, and I am proud to be one of your Patron’s. I hope whatever you are considering regarding a run-on steam works out because that is the proof in itself as it is harder to get a steam engine running on steam compared to compressed air. I have confidence in your ability and am so looking forward to seeing this engine run on steam. Nice one Quinn, stay safe and stay creative. Kind regards from England UK.
That’s beautiful! And I’ll fondly remember this video series as an machining Nuzlock challenge as half of the parts were too big for the machines that made them, yet you showed us all what’s possible with a bit of engineering creativity and a lot of commitment 😊😊
Wow, it turned out great! Next, live steam. Which means a bigger boiler, which means an even bigger engine, which means a visit to Jonathan W to get the dimensions for one of his old Abom sized steam engines he has rescued, which means... Thanks, and Meow to Sprocket.
Great video. Looking forward to running on steam. First I've seen with the teflon rings and packing: You didn't seem to need as much oil on those bearing surfaces as other ring/packing materials.
Watched the whole series, lived it , of all of the trials and tribulations the one I loved was the glass tubes for the oilers. I'm sure I've seen john doubleboost showing a very similar engine. Great series.
Quinn: Being new (and a non-machinist) here, can you explain what you do with all the boilers you make, when they are complete and working. I have watched a few (final) vids but must have missed that explanation. All I can say is I want my living room clock to tick like this engine. Wow.
Very nice Quinn. I was a marine engineer (Stoker) in the RCN. Most of my career was operating and maintaining steam engines and steam turbines. I love your shop and your channel.
Thank you Quinn!!!I enjoy watching you work, I spent close to 45 years as a master tech (ASE as well as several manufactors certified) and I too made mistakes! I worked with steam while serving in the Navy, so watching you figure out the beast way to complete the work is very enjoyable
Quinn, at 7:40 a nice easy solution is with a wood or plastic v-block to tame the floppiness for a quick cut. Beautiful paint job, and some fine nachune and assembly work. Very nicely done, cheers!
Excellent build, you always make me want to get out toi the workshop. There is a book called, "the steam engines of Ray Hasbrouk". All the engines are made without castings, some are big enough to power a full size steam boat. If you can get a copy, I think you might like it. Keep up the great content.
It looks like the issue with the piston rod jam nut is its a normal nut, not a jam nut which is a lot thinner which would give the clearance required. Mayby they put the wrong nut in the kit. Really nice job on the build, nice to see it run so well.
I am so impressed with your patience and perseverance in getting the thing to run properly. It is a beautiful piece of machining/engineering. Thanks for sharing.
This engine and your previous PM Research engine have single handedly gotten me interested in steam engines. I'd love to build one the day I get machine tools. Great series Quinn!

Sounds sweet. Gotta hear it running under a serious load though. That's when you hear the big "CHUFF CHUFF".
Really beautiful. You can be proud. I have just watched the whole build again. Your presentation is great and I learn so much watching you. Thanks
That engine runs so sweetly. I would love to see a bicycle powered by one of your steam engines 😊
Love your comment, let’s call it British engineering, and put a tray under it.
Listening to the engine run.
Is relaxing , like listening to water running

Congratulations on a glorious completion.
For cheap disposable brushes, it seems you really can't beat plumbing flux brushes -- I've been able to find them for as cheap as $2/dozen.
All of the glorious clapping and delight. You have evolved as an educator and machinist and I am so grateful. It is a gorgeous machine.
It's not just "character" it's functional! If the oil is leaking out, you know there's some oil in it.
5x bigger and power a treadle lathe, or generator, that'd be nifty.
Amazing, it has to have the best fit and finish of any I've seen on youtube.
Am I the only one that REALLY enjoyed the sound that was made when deburring the hex head of the plug?
Looks brill, well done. There was a point where we morphed into Keith Appleton and paint by music. Loved it.
