Done at Last!

The final -Part Five - of my videoa, showing the various stages of the machining and assembly of my new model twin cylinder slide valve vertical steam engine. Starts with the most difficult part, the twin cylinder crankshaft, and progresses through the project, solving problems, to the ultimate successful completion of the little engine, showing it runniing, self starting and reversible.

That is very cool! Beautiful workmanship and very interesting video- thank you sir!

[@kaibroeking9968]

Brilliant!
A very neat job: Good craftsmanship, and a great video, too.

@togaida This is my own computer design - not available commercially, it would take me several months to prepare drawings for sale. If this happens, I will offer them on Ebay. Sorry.

Fantastic looking engine John! I loved "The man who makes no mistakes makes nothing" part haha. Beautiful machining as always.

[@DoctorHerbert]

Well done, you deserve more than 2 tails, give yourself 10.

[@francovance1]

Beautiful workmanship, excellent video!

[@iancraig1951]

I like the way that handicaps do not slow you down---you find a way around them..Well done old chap you are a champion..E

[@tandemcompound2]

beautiful engine, tiny like a swiss watch. Too small for me but your machining skills are huge

[@RustyCarnahan]

I miss this man

[@mikruson]

Perfect work John!

Very nicely built engine! You said it is scaled off of a larger model? Are plans available? I'm designing/building a '10' sized horizontal engine. No reversing gear as of yet.
I'm curious how your reversing gear works. I know how the Stuart #10 Stephenson gear works. But I don't see the twin eccentrics and followers on your engine. Just, I think, a sliding block, pivoted in the center that apparently translates and changes the phase of the valve gear drive. Can you explain it, or perhaps give me a reference to how it works? I'd consider incorporating it into my design.
Thanks.

[@WojciechP915]

Amazing! I hope I'm that good at machining one day! I've never seen that sort of reversing mechanism either.

[@agentphenix9884]

Absolutely beautiful.A work of art.Stunning machine work.Love the valve work,elegant.Thank you for posting.

Excellent stuff! I've been nosing around the geometry of Howe and Williams valve gear, just snooping you understand, but looking at the elegent symmetry of your final answer, the gravity hold reversing lever, I can only say your whole series of films leading to this triumphant conclusion has brought me a grin of satisfaction on a par with Fred Dibnah's best. Bravo.

[@isaacoshea3226]

i just have to say i love your videos. i am hoping to make an air powerd engine using a ball and pin valve. similar to a co2 engine. can you please give me some advice?
thanks and keep up the good work =)

[@guzman-do]

Love it!

[@fededevi1985]

Beautiful

[@Vesalempinen]

Really nice,and that's an understatement. Great to see and hear that you are pleased with it.Where one can obtain technical drawings for it?

[@magnusklahr8190]

Excellent!!!

[@estebanthomas9760]

Dear John,
I am from Argentina, and have seen all your videos building this great steam engine. I am really very impressed with your great job designing this beautifull engine, all the work you have put into it is great. Cogratulations !!!! You are my hero !!! I hope to set my own workbench like your's someday!!

[@tonywright8294]

twat

[@gwheyduke]

Well Done ! Enjoyed your videos. excellent reverse mechanism.

[@ivecodavey]

I love this engine have you thought about putting it in something like a boat maybe

[@DELTA1DSV]

excellent as ever congratulations for skill
best regards as always Roy

[@DELTA1DSV]

excellent work, !!! love your marine engine, thanks for showing

[@quantumleap359]

Excellent machine work, very, very nice.

[@octavioreyesolivera3924]

muy bien amigo .me motivas a seguir con mis proyectos

[@guyward5137]

Absolutely a work of art thank you for sharing Guy

[@BrianFyhnPetersen]

Very nice job. Now run it on steam.

[@st.apollonius5758]

Could you use this to generate electricity?

[@MrNigel1340]

Lovely piece of engineering.

[@Hunter-sq9wf]

This is really a very nice little engine. Are any plans available?

[@OlympicClassDandy]

Very well done! Keep up the great work!

[@lize-mariebosman3355]
