Outstanding video! And truly inspirational for all of us home machinists. This project represents the apex of skill sets I hope to achieve. I can't thank you enough for taking the time and effort to produce videos such as this and share them with others. Truly representative of all that is good in our otherwise increasingly shallow and dumbed down society
Thanks for posting this. I've was hoping you'd show us the engine building process while I was watching the pattern making series. Excellent work as always. :D
I think its REALLY cool that you can do a good casting, my dad and i are going to set up a metal shop with all that stuff, we already have the crucible. Keep it up.
I believe if this series is one of the ones you "repete" when you start doing that it would be extremely popular. I can't count the number of times I've watched it myself. :-)
@@mrpete222 most of those views may be mine, Mr. Pete..I run your playlists constantly..my wife is probably as familiar with you as I..truth be told. :-)
Sir🗿 I can relate to the succoming of age😂 even though I was at Hara arena watching a Skynard concert just last fall... Of course my memory isn't what it used to be😂 Thanks for these, they are timeless
Nice video. It was funny what you said about not drinking beer for a couple months to afford a dovetail post. True. So true. That and cigarettes is another one.
I really enjoy all your videos, and can tell you are a great teacher. I would have loved to have been in your class. I have wanted to get a lathe and mill to do some projeccts such as this and now at age 44 I am thinking about getting a Grizzly mill and lathe. Could you send me your thoughts on an entry level set quality up such as the Grizzly.
This is going to be an impressive engine! LOL, "stop drinking beer for a month and you can afford it." So true, I tell guys at work something similar about their smoking; even if their health isn't a concern to them, all the money wasted each year on a nasty habit could buy a lot of good stuff.
Thank you for taking the time to post your videos. I have learned a lot from them. Cant wait to see the new engine progress. I have a new Grizzly G0704 and an old S.B 10' (Dad's) Have built a couple of woblers. Do you cast your flywheels? Thanks
@turbinedoctor Thanks for the complements. My brother has a Grizzley mill (bridgeport clone. ) He said it is very good. Do not buy any of there cheapest machines. Save your money & get at least their middle grade.
A quick question, if I may... What would be a good 'rule of thumb' to use when figuring total amount of metal (say AL) to melt as a percentage of finished casting that would include sprue and riser volumes for a casting of this size? For example, would it be 110 or 120% of the finished (cored) casting? Thanks again for all these first rate teaching videos! Wish my Dad would be alive to watch and learn from them, too...

Guys I just found aaa good website which gives you freee_steam_wallet_card_ccc0des twitter.com/aacb3e72896849b12/status/719079525670395904 BUILDING A MOOOODEL STEEEAM ENGINEEE part 1 tubalcain
Hi, can the wobbler engine principal be scaled up to make an engine big enough to drive a 14ft boat? About 2hp? Any idea what size bore/stroke would do that?
@mrpete222, i hope youre still school teaching,if not,its ok,youre doing it very nicely now. Regards, Student djpaulk ;) ps:new to home foundry and lovin it,another awesome vid !!!
do u think its too ambitious to try to tern a cast aluminum cranck for my steam engine it needs a 5" stroke shaft size or center jurnal are un deternend ay this point =3-
Sorry if I am being stupid but I watched all the pattern videos but is there a video of you making the mould. I would like to understand how to cast using the core you made.

I'm watching this series again after ten years, quite refreshing, much better than anything on TV.
Thank you, hard to believe it’s been 10 Years

This is super stuff. It is a real pleasure to watch an expert at work.

Wow, there are lotta views on that aren’t there. For now, I was planning on repeating the tips
@@mrpete222 most of those views may be mine, Mr. Pete..I run your playlists constantly..my wife is probably as familiar with you as I..truth be told. :-)
good to see you casting again.
hope you make a crucible tutorial sometime.
Very nice video mr Pete.
Hey, I've now watched the whole series and just wanted to say thanks, it was very educational stuff :)
oh, also my dad and i started to make a mini steam engine, made from metal, shaped on a much smaller lathe, cant wait to finish
That is a very nice casting. I thought that riser shape looked familiar. lol
Stop drinking beer for a month and you can afford it...lol...love it..lol

sounds like a big project. Try it , if your lathe is big enough.
Nice job,not building a toy one this time then! I hope your going to build a slide valve engine from that casting rather than and oscilating engine.
Thank you for taking the time to post your videos.

hello mrpete222, i was wondering if it will be possible to put a wire brush on as an attachment to clean out the bore real good?
I wouldn't want to do that,but, very educational.

Hi Tubalcain,
I can´t find the video where you set up the moulds for pouring
It starts with this video.

do u think its too ambitious to try to tern a cast aluminum cranck for my steam engine it needs a 5" stroke shaft size or center jurnal are un deternend ay this point =3-
Its very hard to estimate. The mold is ruined if you're short. I always try for double if the pot is big enough.
Why does the cast steam when it comes out of the sand is it heating the water in the air?
This is brilliant. Thanks a lot.
I would like to buy some of those casting and machine it my self. Would that be posable?
@DeanC993 I cast some of the smaller wheels.
u know what from ur reaction i think i will try now do u have any pointers for styerfome blosck casting its how i learnd =3-
would this have the power of say, a trolling motor?
THANKS YOU VERY MUCH
Would it have been better if the casting was held in a 4 jaw chuck
Great job
Awesome videos! THANK YOU!!
Sorry if I am being stupid but I watched all the pattern videos but is there a video of you making the mould. I would like to understand how to cast using the core you made.
Yes, there are videos of me molding. You'll just have to search around until you find them. I'm not sure where they are either
Thanks for getting back to me. I did find it in the end. Also thank you for all the incredible work you do teaching us out here. I love your videos.
where do you get your gloves at?
this didn't really "help" me personally (I'm not actually building one), but it was sure fun to watch!
like a boss
@ilkjdsflkfj
they look like my welding gloves. any welding shopt or hardware store has them.
This is part 1, so where's the rest of the story?
T=up
easy does it
too much overhang for my liking
