Saw your video en my launch break at work. You made all the build very interesting. The time sliped off. I enjoyed mysellf and liked the way you resolve things. Greetings from Argentina.
Hi from the USA, thank you for your interest and your comments, you are my first subscriber from Argentina. So thank you for letting me know where you are from. I am glad you like our videos . Joe H
Thank you for your comment Robert. Knowing what others think helps us to understand better what we should make videos of and what we should show. Thanks again , Joe.
Hi Kelly, I use drill rod for the shaft and crank pin . For the web it makes no difference. That one was 12L14 because I had it, but hot roll or any cold rolled is fine.
If I may suggest...? holding round thing in a vice (the way you do it st 5:00) is asking for trouble If your vice opens wide enough? I would use vee block on fixed jaw side to give you three point location Probably not serious issue for just drilling a hole, but.... 👍 subscribed to see more
Thank you for your comment. I usually use that method if I’m taking a serious cut or a cut when the cutting will be likely to turn the part. But you have a good point, I should not use short cuts on the videos. It looks bad. Joe
@@larryortman358 Hi Larry, That engine is The Mill Engine #2 by Doug Kelly. The plan was never published. I have a set and if you are really serious keep in touch. I am trying to find a way to publish them but I need Dough to okay it. Also you should know that this is not a beginner type engine, have you built other engines from bar stock? Joe Hig⚙️
@@JoesModelEngines I am a beginner at this. I have built several rifles from the ground up. Was a certified welder for years. Do you recommend another to get me started. Silver soldered many bolt handles on rifles.
@@larryortman358 If you have built rifles you must be a fairly good machinist. I think you be able to build the engine ok but there are no instructions at all just a plan .See if you can contact me by email and I’ll try to send you a part of the plan for the mill engine. That way you can see if you feel comfortable with the plan. Jhig5@maine.rr.com Don’t copy paste the email. You will have to write it down and type it in.
@@larryortman358 Hi Larry, I don’t think my last note got to you. What I said in it was,I think you should look at the plan and then make the decision if it’s a good fit for you. I can’t put anything here, you will have to contact me by email. My contact is jhig5@maine.rr.com don’t copy paste it will not work. You have to write it down and then type it in. Joe

Great content again! What material are you using to build up your crankshafts?

I just finished your hand tapper you made in your video. I built my own 2 x72 belt sander. It works great.
