Far below freezing here (Washington State) it is a real pleasure to see the shop work flow as I am partly driven to my study as my shop frozen a bit. For me it;s as where I can take note and plan best tool refit to spring. And getting back to various repair. Thanks for having me along. Regards, M. McGary
Dave- My goodness it isa so nice to see you back and the machinery running. I hope you are well and doing alright. It has been a loooong time you have not been no the tube. Welcome back
Nice to see you back...almost missed the video...see you got the bang out of the engine crank...Love seeing you switch belts and long shots of the shop. Always fascinating to watch you work.
@@davidrichards5594 I thought the plug looked like nothing wrong with it after you cleaned it and then you said why as it gets harder from age... There is where authority and expertise does help. And i learned as well ...Thanks
New Steam Powered video a few days after Christmas. It's like that present that got pushed under the couch & wasn't discovered 'til 5 days later. Thanks Dave!
Great to wake up on my birthday to find a video from you. Welcome back, you have been missed. Hope you have a happy, healthy, and productive New Year. Thanks for sharing.
Every time I see those old belt driven pulleys it reminds me of one of my first jobs when I was just a teenager and we had to keep an old leather belt driven freight elevator going. I learned from an old timer how to make and splice the 4-inch and 6-inch belts. It's a lost art. I still have one of the tools that we put into a big bench vise to push the Staples through the leather.
Thank you Dave! I always enjoy the videos. I swear Watching your videos brings back such vivid memories that I can even smell the shop smells again. And all the machinery sounds. All that's missing is my grandpa chewing on me to pay attention to my work!
Dave, we have taken a vote, by unanimous decision you may slow down a little but you are not permitted to retire, get sick or die. That shop must go on for another hundred years.
Great to see you back Dave. You always get first choice when I am choosing between multiple videos to watch. Always a real treat to see you and your shop making chips the old school way. Thanks, as always for bringing us along.
I'm glad to see you again, Dave! May the steam pressure in the lines of your shop will never slow down, and may your cutting tools always remain sharp. WBR from Siberia and happy New Year!
I am so amazed at your knowledge and expertise, and especially the perfection of everything you make, especially in todays "good enough", or "close enough mentality! That's what the aircraft industry badly needs today! So glad to see another video after such a long time! Your compassion for this really shines!
I have a question for You. Josh Topper is repairing his steam engine and in a resent episode he line bore the cylinder. Then he will fabricate an aluminum piston to replace the old and warned cast iron piston. In my mind there should be no issues for the new piston inside the cylinder. My thoughts lay in the balance of the system, given the new piston is a good bit lighter than the original. Might there be a risk of vibrations du to this? Thanks for all educational video is of Yours! PeO, Sweden
@@perolovson1715hi mate that's a good question, in a perfect world you'd think it was important but I wonder how much thought was given to it back then especially as steam engine's rpm is so low, I hope Dave see's your comment and looking forward to his answers
@@johngibson3837 Yes! Low rev machinery might not suffer from vibrations but the counter waits on the Morse steam engine suggest otherwise. Looking forward to Mr Richard’s reply.
@@johngibson3837 I don't think stationary engines were balanced with any sophistication, at the most the reciprocating assembly could have been run up on a stand and counterweight added until it was the smoothest.
Dave, welcome back, thanks for a wonderful video. That was a long dry spell I'm sure happy to see you healthy and at work. Could we please have another video showing making and fitting the piston rings.
@@davidrichards5594hey up Dave I'd like you to test it also, what temperature is yours supposed to melt at from new. Hundred and fifty dollars sounds like a lot of safety tax
You would think that they would have a date stamped on them so you could make sure they were new. I’ll bet they don’t throw any old stock out if they don’t have something to date them. I like the Safety Tax comment, you hit the nail right on the head!
@@Hoaxer51 hey up mate the four or five years was for service not shelf life ( which would be indefinite as no heat cycle ) thanks for liking my safety tax comment
Nice to see you again! Glad you are still at it and doing well. Happy holidays and here’s to more videos in the new year in the Steam Powered Machine Shop!
Hey up mate nine months you could of had a baby but lovely to get another video from you today I've been missing my favourite machine shop, i hope the clock is ok as i missed it's relaxing tic in this one
Good to see you back missed your videos

Please keep up the good work.
Dave’s music is back!
I would like to put a torch to that old plug while checking the temperature just to see what temperature it melts at. Just curious.
I would bet that it would melt out at exactly the temp that it would have 5 years ago....$150.00 ea. go figure......Dave
