Your workshop is fantastic! You are the living expression of "It is the machinist, not the machine, that makes a good parts."
Keith a model airplane dude to my heart :) cheers mate !! there is nothing better then the smell of castor oil when flying RC.
Our workshop is "us" in many ways. Thanks for sharing part of you. You do wonderful work and are a mentor to many. Great Job
Thank you {:-)))
A wonderful workshop.
I love lister engines.
Absolutely loving the amount of videos you're pushing out!
Most enjoyable thank you 😎🇳🇿
thank you for the tour. I liked it allot more than I thought I would.
TITANIC MODEL! I also have one that I "will get around to building one day.." I wanted it so much when I first saw it that I traded in all my model railway items to part fund the purchase.
That was forty years ago....
Thank you for letting us nose around for a bit. Excellent workspace and quite homey to boot.
You are a lucky man , thank's for letting us in 🧐
Nice wood machinist tool box. I’ve got the one my great grand pappy used when a machinist at Winchester, when it was based in New Haven Connecticut (USA).
Thanks for the tour of your private space. You have a very eclectic taste I admire that. Once again thank you from the USA.
Very nice thanks for show us your workshop
my grandfather was in your great country in ww2 he used to service spitfires p51's and other aircraft he used to tell such vivid stories I could almost smell the air lol
way to go kieth!
Very nice, especially the oil can.
I did enjoy the tour of your workshop. Thank you so much, Keith. Peace be with you.
Thanks Keith, Always enjoy seeing around someones workshop.
Thank you for showing us around your workshop. Great to see where it all happens.
Don't worry about mess, it's your space and you are the only one who needs to work there.
We have just built a bigger workshop and looking at what lights to use and how many so great to see what you have.
I like the signs, pictures and plenty shelves.
Keep up the great work
THE LINISHER!
I have taken to calling my own belt sander a linisher, which is silly of me, but there it is.
I recently took delivery of a small hobby foundry furnace, so I think I may make a brass placard for my linisher that simply says "This is a Linisher."
I had a little P-40 Kittyhawk control line model when I was a kid. It used to go around so quickly I would get sick. couldn't last to long and needed a little lay down. lol
Nice tour , everything close to hand 👍🇬🇧
Thanks for the guided tour. Particularly useful was the 3 phase convertor. I need one for my Harrison milling machine.
A very cozy shop, organized like a few Brit bike sheds I have seen. :o) I knew a Pitts stunt pilot guy I worked in film with and he said the GeeBee is like a new 700hp corvette engine in a Renault 5 or ford fiesta. LOL!
Thanks I found it useful😎
You should make a video of your Lister D please
thanks for the tour Keith you certainly have a lot of gear and bits and bobs. Enjoying your video's
You are an interesting character my Appleton. While I have never been a musician of any kind, I did fly model control line airplanes as a youngster. And I played around with a lot of vacuum tube (valves?) amplifiers and radios.
As an adult, once I could afford it, I first got my amateur radio license - N3GAQ. A couple of years later I took flying lessons and earned by pilot license - along with an instrument rating.
Soon I will feel guilty enough to kick in a couple of dollars to your paypal account.
Hope you keep making these videos - but be sure to have fun whilst doing it!
Lmao i love how you say so many funny things that crack me up, yet there is no change in tone of your voice lol
I very much enjoyed it. The workshop has always been a place where all the problems of the world are kept out.
I like yours very much. After seeing all the parts needed to keep your instrument running well, I'm very glad that I play the trumpet.
Thank you again for taking the time to clean your workshop and show it to the rest of us.
The Gee Bee was a favourite of mine as well. Dangerously beautiful. The Hurricane was quite the fighter as well. Very stable as I remember (reading "Fly For Your Life"). Thank your for the tour.
Apparently Jimmy Doolittle who flew the air raids over Japan after Pearl Harbour using specially lightened Mitchell bombers from an aircraft carrier once won an air race in a GeeBee R2 and said that he never ever wanted to fly one again as it was totally unstable in both Pitch & Yaw . . . . . . :-))))) Scary or what - ??? My Radio controlled model of a GeeBee R2 was quite stable in flight but I could never land it cleanly as it always tipped over in the last couple of seconds after landing .....
nice work shop Keith I sore Lots of things I'd like to have.
thanks for the show around.
Great tour... thank you Keith!
£650 bloody hell you nicked it!!!!!! Great video
Lots of interesting stuff to look at! :D
I dream of having a workshop like this, had to stop working due to bad health, but i miss fixing and making stuff so much. In my mind you are not Mr.bond.. you are Mr. "Q" :)
One Like just for the Spitfire posters!
Thank You.. :-)
I like your garage
Your videos are always so informative and interesting! There is always something to learn from them. And the quality of the video production matches your wonderful engineering. They are also very funny! I'm sure I'm not the first person to say this, but you do sound like John Shuttleworth - which is a very good thing in my book!
Thanks for your comments, I always appreciate compliments, even the John Shuttleworth one, although he is from Lancashire. I am from Yorkshire and I believe we had a war or two in the past }:-)))
@@keithappleton OMG, a terrible faux pas, my apologies! Calling a Yorkshireman a Lancastrian is on a par with calling a Frenchman a Belgian (or vice versa)!
}:-)))
great video could you give us a video of the lovely lister d running?
Thank you for the tour. The A-24 was called the "Banshee" and was the same as the Navy's Douglass Dauntless SBD dive bomber of Battle of Midway fame. New Zealand had quite a few Dauntlesses. I like aircraft too, but I've never done flying models. I'm working on an Airfix B-17G right now.
well thought out shop I really like that smart and brown lathe esp the brat collet chuck which is similar to my jacobs rubber flex collet chuck, but you know the earth is flat so that ball needs to go :)
The Globe is going back to my friend this evening .....'tis a very nice Globe though .......
That's not modest it's minuscule! Honestly it appears a lot bigger in the videos... A true testament to the skill of a good engineer
Love your lister I have about 7 different lister engines
I cannot wait for "building of Titanic part 1".
A great workshop. Mine is full to the brim of woodwork stuff, machines, model boats and building stuff, a building jig for a 21-foot lapstrake daysailer, lots of wood and metal and other assorted goodies.. I love your 2 lathes, I wish I had one, I'll get on 1 day... It is very interesting to see how others set up their workshop and what they have in them, it always gives me ideas. Thanks for the very informative tour. One thing I would like to see (I have not seen it in a video as yet that I've watched) is how you set up your compressor and the connections used for running the engines, I am working on a hose arrangement at present for mine but I'm a bit stuck as to how to get the pressure so low etc.. (what regulators to use etc).
I guess we have 'cramming loads of stuff in a small space' in common.
youre awsome and i like watching you ^^
I'm the same age as your band saw and i have a few shortcomings these days according to my wife :(
great vid :o})
Nitro isn't totally out of fashion yet. You can upgrade all the electronics (get rid of the bad ol' 72MHz stuff..) but still run the nitro engine.. Bruce over on the xjet channel has been making some videos on nitro RC flying recently.
I've heard it said that a tidy bench is the sign of an untidy mind, really you have things well laid out thanks for letting us in.
If you like old school piston powered aircraft you should try DCS World chap!
Be interesting in your take on the German made Parkside, I have become quite a fan of them especially as they are incredibly cheap and finding the quality very good imho
i'd really like to See you build a small two stroke engine for a model plane
Honestly though that'd be awesome, i guess for anything elses sake than just to do it, a bought engine will be much cheaper and less of a hassle to build. Yes, they are pretty simple machines, but different to steam engines which use lots of (relatively speaking!!!) simpler parts, ICEs get away with comparably few that require pretty complex machining (mainly the cylinder block/crankcase...) and require high tolerances....
TL:DR: If the reason is doing it, do it. It will be HARD.
If the reason is using it, just buy one for a few pounds (~150-200 ) for a formidable one?
Could you do a video on model IC engines?
Hello Keith, did you ever get arround to building that plastic kit of titianic
Hi Keith;
I live in the USA and our nuts & bolts are SAE (Society of Automotive Engineers), so I don't know what BA nuts and bolts are. Could you comment on what that abbreviation stands for please.,
I live in Wisconsin USA about 100 miles from Oshkosh where the EAA flyin and air show is held each year. I also am an airplane enthusiast. Before I got too old to walk far enough to walk the air show, I went to the show every year. I have seen the Gbee that you have a picture of flying at the show and it is wonderful. I also love WWII airplanes. My four favorites are the P-51D Mustang, the P-38, The Spitfire and the Hawker Hurricane. I can really relate to your pictures on the machine shop wall my friend. Nice shop!
Boxford lathe is a CUD - AUD has gearbox and powerfeed
You are correct, I used to have an AUD, and I may buy another one . . . .
I saw a largish can of 3 in 1 oil on one of you myriad shelves (no one can never have enough shelves), do you use that for cutting, or as a general purpose lube? Thank for the Videos they are very enjoyable. From greater Los Angeles CA USA
General purpose machine oil, I actually use steam oil for cutting as it sticks to the metal much better . . .
Thanks for the reply
But where ist the Bahco spanner collection?
To the left of the main bench in the "messy random array of tools area" of the Workshop ......
You can see one at 2:25!
Now this is what you call a man cave!
I have to ask..what is that four stroke engine from airoplane..looks like home made...
That is definitely not home made - it is a Laser 80 :-)))
Keith Appleton very nice engine...i have to ask..do you have any engines for sail( glow)
No sorry, I just have a small collection of interesting glow engines ......
Keith Appleton yes i undrestand..i also collect old and rare glow engines..thanks
where do you store your locomotive?
In a safe place . . . .
thats the best place
Keith I honestly don't mean to be annoying but you really should have the CO detector mounted somewhere lower. CO is heavier than air and has a tendency to sink and if the CO detector is above your head at any point then by the time it goes off, you'll be dead already
You have an excellent descriptive manner. My wife and daughters are very concerned as I have started speaking like you. For an Australian it can be an issue. Mind you it might be the fact you have rekindled guy desire to make things...
:-))))
Is that 6550's in the amplifier???
No not in that particular amplifier, it is a 5U4G Rectifier Valve :-)))
bullshit corner, LOL
Something I've learned living in multiple houses with carbon monoxide issues. the CO detector should be closer to the floor. CO is a heavier than air gas, so if the detector is above head level you might have issues before the alarm goes off.
I think you might be confusing it with Co2 which is heavier than air. CO is slightly less dense than air so will not fall to the floor.
