Great to see an update again. Again with that feeling of my youth, to be allowed to do things like this. I see this with unbounded respect for the bench machine workers.
Interesting to see how much craftsmanship, ingenuity and plain hard work went into the foundation of modern technology. I’ve been watching a series on rebuilding an old wooden yacht and it’s the same story. Amazing craftsmanship.
Fantastic as always Simon, you and the crew at Steam Workshop are making a marvellous job of this restoration. Them lamps look awesome. All the best, Matt.
Thanks so much for this...I'm not from an engineering background so the really clear narration is brilliant. The skills being used are a credit to all. Thank you...can't wait for the next update !!
Another great video. Thanks so much. Everything is great - pictures, commentry, references to the drawings. Faultless! Best wishes. Looking forward to the next one. If only the people building the P2 new build would follow your example …
👍👌👏 A great narration and video showing some really great work (again and as always). Everything each of you does is done with so much dedication and love to detail. And what enormous patience you all put in this project. For instance 2 years of internet searching for those fantastic fitting/looking acetylene lamps. I simply love to watch your videos/work. Thanks a lot for making teaching explaining recording editing uploading and sharing. Best regards, luck and health in particular. To all of you of course.
I must say I am mightily impressed with your machinists skills! Making such large components on the Bridgeport takes a lot of thought and skill. I can’t imagine what this restoration is costing not only in shop hours but the raw cost of the steel and then sending parts out to be case hardened and water jet cut. Very very impressive skill set in your little workshop.
Absolutely! I’m expecting that we will be about £100,000 in by the time we finish. But the cost of materials is so high at the moment that who knows where we will get to! I try not to think about it! 😂😭
@@TheSteamWorkshop but what is a restored steam engine worth? I work in tiny pieces of steel and brass compared to what you use, I can’t imagine what those large pieces cost. Every time I restock the prices seem to have gone up. Good luck with the rest of the machine and thank you very much for documenting it.
Great to have an update! You should have given the water jet guys your drawings.... standard tolerance of water jetting is .002" Some of the newer machines will easily cut to a .001" tolerance... Saves hours on machining....
Hermoso y emocionante el video cada detalle muy precisos soy walter de argentina y sigo siempre todos sus videos ,tengo muy buen aprecio por inglaterra y su gente son muy perfeccionistas me encantaria que me respondieran gracias y saludos desde argentina
Ha ha, I see what you mean! I was thinking of our bench mounted polishing wheels, but as it happens we also have a large vibrio-polisher machine that’s think we’ve featured earlier in the series too 🙂
Where did you get the waterjet profiles from? :) I've had a few parts done for my traction engine but wasn't happy with the finish, and they weren't even near the thickness of your parts!
New follower and this is sort of engineering is totally new to me. What do they do with all the curly bits that have come off the lathe? Is it just rubbish or does it get sold for scrap?
Hard chrome on the valve/piston rods will give them a much longer life. Since you want a comment section fight I will look up the vibration/combination lever thing.
We have a good guy that we sub that out to locally here, as it makes more sense than for us to keep ourselves coded. Give us a bell and I’ll give you all the details 🙂
run on gas lamps //after finding them //you had no ele power lamps in that time //,,your a screw -up keep it right for the times , or stop all your work .
Major score on those lights. Amazing they survived laying around all this time.
Great to see an update again. Again with that feeling of my youth, to be allowed to do things like this. I see this with unbounded respect for the bench machine workers.
Again, fantastic work!
I can’t watch a video of yours without itching to come and help!
Come up! We’ll definitely find you a job!! 😁
Fantastic work update on.5 Tully thanks for the video Simon 👍
well done steam workshop and i enjoy your progress

Anne Elk would be proud of your theory of the slide bar.

Thanks Matt! 😁
can't wait for the next video
Amazing video, showing just how much care, effort, skill and attention to detail your putting into restoring this engine. Well Done!
Hear hear ! Some of the best document/how to videos made. Thank you.
Brilliant update. Enjoying watching it come together and how your doing it. Thanks for sharing.
I really love watching this project as it evolves. I hope we get to see more soon!
Incredible work!!! I love this series and can’t wait to see the finished product!!

Brilliant guys, love watching this come together. 🤘🏻
Wow you got very lucky with those lamps! They will look fantastic on the front of your engine 🙂
Fantastic work guys. I know quite a lot of Model steam engine guys but nothing as large as this sort of work. Keep it up.
Regards.
Steve.

The best part of my day so far! i love these videos. Great job Simon and team!!

The Bridgeport can machine larger than its own table area.

@@union310 it can. But it takes skill and thought as I said 🙂
@@sjv6598 I do not disagree
Excellent video, thanks for sharing.
Hello steam workshop, I find your work very interesting and when I'm older I wanna take this hobby up as well!
Such good, informative videos.
Fantastic job 👍🏻
Nice.
Looks like a lot of work, but it will be worth it in the end!
Fantastic!!
Nice work 👌
Fsntastic update. Thanks for posting. Getting those two carbide lamps for that price, absolute bargain!!!
very interesting video
good video, thanks
I sent your video to the machinest at old pueblo trolley, they restore vintage street cars, transit buses, steam locomotive downtown museum
So you are rebuilding a model with the scale of 12 inches : 1 foot, or for metric viewers, 1000mm per metre.
Enjoying the rebuild from Australia.
Great to have an update! You should have given the water jet guys your drawings.... standard tolerance of water jetting is .002"
Some of the newer machines will easily cut to a .001" tolerance... Saves hours on machining....
We certainly should! Next time! 😁

Thanks Walter! Really appreciate your kind words! Glad you’re enjoying our restoration! 😁
Great Update👍, where's part 18 though??
@1:59 The method of Polishing by hand. Wonder what using a "machine" would look like. A terrific Find and Purchase. Well done.
Ha ha, I see what you mean! I was thinking of our bench mounted polishing wheels, but as it happens we also have a large vibrio-polisher machine that’s think we’ve featured earlier in the series too 🙂

New follower and this is sort of engineering is totally new to me. What do they do with all the curly bits that have come off the lathe? Is it just rubbish or does it get sold for scrap?
Vibration coming from the initial movement when the valve gear is put into full gear when setting off.
See, that’s still not what the word ‘vibration’ means though! 😁. I stand by my commitment to ‘combination’ levers! 😎😁
@@TheSteamWorkshop lol
Did you manage to find some Fowler oilers you were after ? Thanks for posting these interesting Fowler restoration videos.
Sort of! We were offered 4 tired originals, but we still haven’t managed to get them from their current owners. Working on that! 🙂.
Excellent machining work
Hard chrome on the valve/piston rods will give them a much longer life.
Since you want a comment section fight I will look up the vibration/combination lever thing.
I wonder if the lamps are from the Universal Lamp Co Auto-Lite. I've never seen one that big though.
Is a radial milling machine now on your Christmas list for doing rounded ends on rods?
We actually have a huge rotary table for just such an event, but Neil decided it was faster to do them like that. 🙂
more🇨🇦😊🥇
Coming soon! Working on it! 😂😁
Keep it real ! Those lamps need to be acetylene powered 😮!!
Do you have more details on the accident that caused this locomotive to crash and buckle rendering it unusable? History lesson please 😊👍🇨🇦
When is part 18 coming
more❤🇨🇦😊👏
Where are you???? need and episode!!!
Part 18 finished finally today, uploading as I type 😁
Do you do miniature traction engine boiler repairs I have a freelance engine that needs a new firebox / boiler ? It's a 9 " Franklin and bell
We have a good guy that we sub that out to locally here, as it makes more sense than for us to keep ourselves coded. Give us a bell and I’ll give you all the details 🙂
How am I supposed to watch this without Family Guy
