What really struck me about this film was, not only your filming🤣 but how the builder achieved the precision and tolerances required to make a machine like this. We often forget that engineering has been around for a long time and before Cad we were drawing machines on the board however, the question remains, how did they achieve such high tolerances like those required fir those sliders? That in itself is worth exploring in a film of its own. When I worked in John Brown’s Shipyard during the time when the Cunard Liner was being constructed, much of the machinery was leather belt driven, a throw back to the late 1800’s/early 1900’s. So interesting. Well done
That's the product of people that spent a lifetime learning a craft from a predecessor who'd done the same. My son has developed an interest in watchmaking and it makes your mind boggle to see what craftspeople were capable of hundreds of years ago, Modern computers and machines are very exciting - but we should never forget how amazing our brains and bodies are :)

Brilliant Stefan, the beast next surely ?
Will try my best to get it done this winter :)
Incredible. how much does that weigh?
Hmm, I’m not sure - I’ll ask next time I see him. There’s not much to the actual cart part - but the boiler will be fairly substantial.
Woooow, es increíble, y muy hermosa.
Se puede escuchar como silba bufa, resopla, y respira, está viva!!!
Gracias por compartir.
outstanding
Thanks very much! Hoping to be joining it on a French road trip soon :)
Simplemente maravilloso
Thank you!
Bloody Wonderful ........... a real coal powered car !!!
But, it's Danish this car?
The Salvesen family were originally from Norway but lived in Scotland by the time they commissioned the steam car.
@@StefanMarjoram Scottish like the Argyll and Arrol Johnston
Only a real gentleman wears a collar and tie, when fettling with his steam engine.
Don't let the tie deceive you - he also has some very ungentlemanly habits ;)
