My first stem engine build

Sign into YouTube, click on YouTube Studio, click on Upload Video. See if you can get this far. They've updated the process a bit and I know it is frustrating if you've never done it before. The videos online that show how to do this are outdated and sometimes you just can't find the darn button you need to. I feel your pain.

Yes it is -- but you need to switch the video from private to public so we can all see it. One last step...

 

[CalgaryPT]

this is what we see

What Marc said...ditto But something that cool needs video

I managed to get the video to work using yoututbe. Check out the link below

Is that ever neat!!! I'm going to have to try building one now. Nice Job

Could you plumb it for steam and run it that way?

Yes you could. I have grand kids that around so I chose to go with air for less chance of mishaps

Super nice

Keeping with the theme...here is a video of a tiny wobbler and its' boiler I made a while back. 1/4" bore x 1/2" stroke.
You can skip to the 40 second mark as not much happens until then. Please forgive the poor camera skills and the idiot droning on in the background. The smell of the burner and steam and oil mix really adds to the experience!

Thanks for the video D. That is a tiny one, nice work.

 

[Marc Moreau]

I like that

 

[CalgaryPT]

I could watch that all day. Nice work.

You'd love my power hacksaw. I find it mesmerizing. Sounds like a locomotive and tends to walk all over the place if you don't block it into a corner with something LOL.

I remember those from my Junior High School years. You're right, there is something about those machines that is mesmerizing. Plus they resemble a steam locomotion with that reciprocal motion. I love stuff like that.

Yup JHS shop. The PHS and Shaper. Don't recollect anything to do with a metal lathe for some reason, unless maybe it was some knurling?

In rural Saskatchewan we had an amazing JHS. We made knives, go-carts, Coleman stoves replicas etc.

First rule was that you had to go to the drafting lab and draw your schematics and produce a bill of materials

We had a mill that was used to machine brass for the guards/hilts on the knives . I watch forged in fire and laugh at how nice they have it. We were only allowed power tools to hog out the rough shape of the knife. No power sander after that, only filing

And hand sanding.......

Nice memories. Funny how stuff in those young years become hobbies with so many of us now.

Ahhhh… the plans for the WigWag are in mm. Are there inch size plans available?

Trying to size out the stock required in inches is proving to be a challenge!

I think that's awesome. Did you find working on such a small scale to be difficult? I am very intrigued by miniatures but wasn't sure my skills were up to the task.
