@@adgecutlerofthewest Definitely would have worked and as we needed a hole for oil not a bad shout at all. I’m a bit behind on the video editing. I used a big clamp and was able to get enough bite to have at it albeit standing to one side out of the firing range.

@@VintageIronuk I thought that you'd already of jumped that hurdle. Your method adds a bit of excitement anyway!

@@adgecutlerofthewest Tis a flaw in this video making always a week or 2 behind unfortunately. Didn’t get much footage doing the turning as most of the time was spent hiding from the spinning clamps of death!

@@fowler_steam will do mate! I’ve got to get round to getting that governor assembly removed and the link sent your way. 👍

@@casto- 😆 Bring me some parts to paint while I’m in there! Hard to get it all on film once we start to get stuck in to it.

@@VintageIronuk 😆 if you’re not careful I’ll be bringing tractor parts for you to do instead 🤣. Yeah I know what you mean… you’ll just have to do your best lol

@@markloving11 Thanks mate, hoping to keep up with the one a week.

@@treverrin I’ve not got much history on the engine. Its number is 2949 if you wanted to see what you could find. Thanks for watching

@@Randysshop Bloody good idea, that would definitely have worked. She did just about grip with the mandrel turned down a bit and a clamp to put a bit of squeeze on it. Cheers 👍

@@VintageIronuk Looking forward to see how it turns out.👍

@@Nick-pr5gw Thanks for watching mate 👍

@@782sirbrian thanks for sticking with us Brian. Should soon start coming together and making more sense. 👍

@@casto- It definitely makes you scratch your head of some of the stuff they done with what little they had. Wonder how many pins they made the wrong length due to not zeroing their dro 😆 roll on ep 750 re lighting the fire 🔥 Cheers

@@VintageIronuk 🤣🤣I bet they only did it once! Or they’d be flogged in the streets 😆. I hope your done a bit quicker than that, think I’ll have retired by then🤣🤣🫣

​@@VintageIronukfor 'dro' read 'folding wooden ruler with brass trim'!

@@markclifton14 Thanks for watching mark, makes picking up the camera worth while cheers 👍

@@colinsmith6280 Would have been a lot harder back then. We are spoilt with digital read outs and modern measuring tools. Lots of bits must have been hand fit and just made to work.

@@chrisanderson7370 exactly that mate!! We will end up with 3 engines the original/first attempt/and the finished article!! Glad I’m not the only one 😆

@@Randysshop I pulled out an old delapena hone I’ve got, emailed delapena about getting the stones but they didn’t want to know. If I could find the stones and arbor I would like to use it. Cheers

@@782sirbrian yes governor will be done now as well, just not sure if I will take it off the boiler or do it in situ. Thanks for watching

@@casto- Nearly put me to steep this video 😆 To be fair I didn’t even know this tool existed until it turned up for me to use. With the amount I’ve used it I’m now an expert!! If you need and internal grinding doing give me a shout!! Hope all is well Cheers

@@RustyInventions-wz6ir 👍 Thanks

@@steam_fan Hi mate, I’ve actually already done it. I think I got a small amount of footage that’s going to be in an up and coming video but didn’t go to in depth in it. When we do the next batch I can. 👍

Thank you! Cheers!

@@Randysshop It’s a bloody good old tool 👍

@@Nick-pr5gw Not so much a problem with a change in diameter but we did have some issues with the stone getting clogged/loaded up and pushing it’s self away from the work. We are taking such small cuts the stones don’t wear that quickly.

Gosh! So really just because you’re making such a small cut this is avoiding wear on the stone. Still amazed that you can get the precision you are aiming for on this one. Thanks for coming back to me.

@@douro20 I’m not sure. It’s on loan from a local engineering firm

@@782sirbrian nothing but the best measuring tools in this shop!! Thanks for watching 👍

@@petermcneill80 Thanks 🙏 The mics and machines I use are a mix of metric and imperial so the measurements are usually made in what tool I have on hand. If the machine dials are in mm that usually what we work in. Can get a tad confusing at times to follow along. Thanks for watching

@@machineshopinagarage4699 We may need to change the channel name to will it smash. We already have a restored with slides massey the same ram size. May have to do a video on it 👍 thanks for watching

@@julianhawker7672 wow. I was amazed at some of his work really impressive stuff. When did you see it running? I never got to see any of his workshop. I would have been like a pig in the proverbial

@@VintageIronuk 20+ years ago probably, I recall he told me that he had to dig a massive hole and fill it with ready-mix to sit the hammer on as a foundation. It would shake the whole workshop when working! Noise complaints from neighbours (warranted imo) did for its running at the original workshop site. His blacksmith mates disposed of all his kit after his death and I don't believe theres anything much left now.

@@julianhawker7672 Brilliant!! I think I ought to get her going again and give my neighbors a bit of a taste. I can definitely see why this got left behind. Some job getting it out of there.

@@VintageIronuk I see his brother in law to chat to now and then. I will try to remember to ask about the hammer foundation for you, as he was likely involved in the construction.

I saw Ron and stopped for a chat, got plenty of info for you: Its not the hammer that was in the old shop working! ( The blacksmiths had that one when Alan died apparently) Alan Bought the one you have many years ago , possibly not seen working, had it transported it to where you got it from and it never moved again............ The hammer that he did have going was a similar size, it sat on a concrete pad as big as a SWB landrover and 3 foot thick! , it had a thick layer of compacted sand under it to try and dampen the vibration. He had "neighbour issues" at the old workshop at that time due to noise. He also said that it drew a lot of power and a new supply to the shed had to be fitted, despite the electric board saying that the existing supply should have been man enough to run it, when the hammer was going it used to dim the lights. HTH.

@@RustyInventions-wz6ir Thanks for watching 👍

@@casto- happy birthday mate 🎉 hope you had a good one

@@VintageIronuk cheers mate, was a quite one, just how I like it 😆👌
