Hey Joe, This series should be a must watch for any aspiring machinist. I'm a 30 year self taught chip chewer and I've picked up so many little gem's of knowledge from this series I feel like a thief. Thank you for taking the time and expense to make these video's.
Joe, Your videos are not only the best machining videos I've seen, they are the best instructional videos regardless of subject area. I follow math, physics, woodworking, boatbuilding , restorations, astronomy, history, filmmaking, amateur telescope making, sailing and much more. Your stuff is just the best. Always clear, concise, and entertaining. I hope you can sense the utmost regard I have for you.
Your skill/discussion/demonstration/lessons have such value, but your camera/video/production presents the craftsman that you are....THANK YOU for your time in this build/video
Thanks Chuck. It really slows down the product production time, but I shoot what I think is helpful. Thanks for watching. Are you guys OK with all the fires out there?
@@joepie221 For us the fires were to the north, so no fire danger but just excessively bad air for days....fires are done and the weather and sky has been exceptional...but for me I am hoping we start getting rain soon and lots of so the lakes fill back up.....Have a great Xmas holiday..atb
I am doing one from scratch. No casting. Just using what my father had in his hoard of stock parts. Miss my father. Thanks Joe for the indepth machining techniques.
Joe, compliments on your balance of "nail it dead on" , and "not a critical feature". I have mentored a few young ones over the years, and it has always been a challenge to instill that concept. This series has been a plethora of setup , order of operation, and tolerance met results. Well played.
I'm following this series from the beginning, and i like your no-nonsense approach of things a lot. With some 40+ years on the clock i still like to watch colleague machinists and learn something. Thanks from the Netherlands!
Nightschool machining classes, wonderful. Joe, as I wait delivery of my mill and lathe, I'm watching your masterclass and writing a list of what I'll be needing in terms of tooling. The list is long! Thank you for a very enjoyable hour, very grateful. Regards Gareth
Love how that oil seep hole showed up when you bored the inside diameter! This is a great project with many useful procedures gleaned from your presentations. 👍
When the light in the gap turns blue, you are at about 0.0002". This is quite noticeable when you have known smooth, flat and parallel features. Even when there is variation due to imperfections in flatness or straightness, the places that have that small gap still show a change to blue color.
Great video Joe. I have been a hobby machinist for over 30 years and am still picking up tips from others. One tip I really liked that you did not even mention was the scrap piece with the slot when using the band saw. Like most the "machine slot plate" on my saw has been blown out over time. I need to make a new one but this tip will let you get by safely with small parts. Thanks! Fred
Excellent. You remind me a lot of my father RIP. He always new according to the function of the part, how much effort needs to be put in and where are the important features. I sure miss him a lot.
Thanks joe, as usual just awesome. I have asked Santa to bring me this kit. Thanks to your incredible video tutorials, as a novice machinist I feel confident enough to attempt this build. Should keep me occupied for months next year. "Shoot for the stars, settle for the moon" as you say. Wish me luck!!! Thanks and kind regards from your 70 year old apprentice from the UK. .
I finished watching all the preceding videos a couple days ago and have been checking every day to see a new one. These are incredible. I know you have 47 years of experience, but there is very obviously an undeniable underlying talent. Very good, sir. Very good.
I've been watching from the get go and have enjoyed each video. Sometimes folks have the idea that craftsmen have an inflated ego. I was a bricklayer and after a 4 year apprenticeship and many years in the trade I may have appeared that way but actually it is called confidence. Did I make mistakes? Sure! Did I correct them? You bet! May I say you are careful and confident and easy to watch and learn. Stay positive, test negative and I forget the rest already (old age). Greg
Hi Joe, another great video, can't wait to see this little guy running. I trained a sa tool maker back in the 1069's and I'm now long retired, but I'm still learning, just great stuff. Nice to see a full video without "unloosening something".
Wow. You have tools ive never even imagined. I still get a little mesmerized with those damned little oil cups you've made. Hell of a video Joe. Thanks.
Beautiful Job - your math still boggles me mind. . happy it be you doing it and not me. Hanging in for the long run on this. Heck of a miniature & well worth the wait to see it completed.
Finally! I’ve been waiting for another video that lined up with her build. I love seeing the contrast between you two. You’re getting close!! I’m really excited to see how you go about finishing this bad boy!
Hi Joe Thanks for the reply.I did go for it and it has worked really well.Now for the big dipper.Face plate or four jaw that is the question. thanks again and as you say stay positive and test negative.
Joe, I am glad you brought up using visual means to align parts. The Mark I eyeball is a powerful tool of you use 'em right. Plus the tip on looking at the tap body for wobble was one told to me years ago. Good stuff sir. As in most Joe Pi presentations I learned a new way to approach things. Cheers
I cringe when I watch supposedly 'Tutorial" videos as witness small taps being presented with such a degree of slop. Its just a bad practice to present to hobbyists that want to learn good techniques.
I have to say that I have learned so much from all your videos that felt compelled to contribute to the Patreon account. I have never done that before.
Thanks for demonstrating how to bore after splitting and rejoining. I believe this is a more "fool proof" method to get a round bore than what you did on the connecting rod. Great video!
Great work and advice Joe, thanks. Love the shot of the finished product at 43.37... such a good fit can't make out the parting line of the eccentric straps.
Believe it or not, it was an exercise during my apprenticeship I had to master before I got to cut real parts. My mill skill maze on my website store is a fantastic tool to train and play with.
Joe, I'd like to fab some of those small toe clamps you use on your small fixture plate....do you have a rough sketch of those that you can share with a fellow viewer....thanks.
To be honest you only have to look at them to see the design. And it's easy enough to guess the size from the fact that Joe is boring a 1" hole in the part.
Another great video...! Some things, you make look so easy. When your milling around a circle as you did 4:55 to 5:48 .... Would you mind moving the camera back, so that we can see how you "manipulate" the X and Y handles at the same time... You do this so well, and i'm sure there are many years of practice involved to do this. Inquiring minds want to SEE....! Thanks!!
Top tip joe, when boring out to limits of less than a thou its a good idea to have a thou undersized lead about 2 mill, that way you know exactly when you’re approaching the finished size. I’ve been doing that for years and never gone oversize. But knowing you you probably already know that. Great effort tonight.
hi Joe I like your way of doing the eccentric rather than grooving the inside of the sleeve I will copy your method when making this part. Thanks for the great vids.keep well
Hi Joe, I built mine about 15 years ago without the aid of a DRO. As I recall I had at least 30 hours in the project. Very satisfying side project for me. After seal break-in, mine will "tick over" at 2 -3 PSI. Thank you Joe for your video content and thank you PM Research for your quality products.
I often use the point of a spiral flute tap to quickly scribe lines in soft metals in my mill. Like cut lines for center lines or circles or odd shapes.
As with previous parts - can't think of any better way to tackle that Joe - just find your solutions innately logical and very hard to come up with any better alternatives, though I'm sure some folks will have other ideas. As always setting up is a major part of the deal. The proof of the pudding ....... !! :) Another super enjoyable video, thanks Joe.
Hi Joe, another good video, I'm impressed you were able to hold the job by the 'ears' to machine the two sides, I wouldn't have even thought about it, I'd be trying to clamp, to a horizontal, then machine between the clamps then add more clamps and remove the first!! A question on longevity of the engine, as an 'Engineer' would you consider a 'second life' for this casting. The drawing called for 0.125" to be removed between the two halves, would you have removed less say only 0.100", then bored the 1.0" so when the bronze started to wear to a point the engine became unusable, you could remove the 0.0125" from the two haves and re-machine the 1.0" bore , so effectively doubling the life of the engine, well this part!, hypothetical I know, but I try to look at ways of improving any design
Hello Joe! What are the dimensions of the 4 hold down clamps? This is the most amazing and useful machining series. You have shared so many insights that have vastly improved the operations in my shop. Please consider more projects such as this. Outstanding!
Great job as always Joe. I liked your V grooved parallels. Hadn't seen those before. It would be great for you to mention the tools you use in your ops, whether you think we know them or not. Wide variance in your audience. I don't even own a lathe, but watch those too, as I'm always learning. Thanks!
Joe If others are scared of the drill snatching when drilling counter bore holes. Drill the larger first to a dead stop, then drill the tapping size. Steve
Saunders Machine Works (NYC CNC here on RUclips) builds those things for a living. Also Oxtoolco did a video or maybe a series a couple years ago on designing and making these things.
I made a similar comment to Joe 1 or 2 videos back. Maybe he'll indulge us, but it won't likely be until he finishes the steam engine project. Cross our fingers.
My point is the plate Joe is using looks ideal for holding smaller parts and rather than re-invent the wheel I was wondering if he would share some specifications. Then there are the beginners and others who are looking for a shop project that could probably benefit from a tutorial on building one.
@@glenncerny8403 Yeah it was the very first bit of tooling I made I think. You just base it around the size of parts you want to work with. Here's mine, if it helps instagram.com/p/B1MAnYEA6XM/
Excellent video!! Joe maybe some day you will do a video walk through machining and assembling one of your puzzles. Wow that would be total machine shop Porn!! Seriously man I would love to see that. Thanks again great content:)
Hi Joe, great video. I’ll be doing that shortly and I wonder if you could tell me where you got those 2 plates with the bevels at one end and square channels on the other end to help hold the parts in the vice. Thanks, Tim
"I did witness mark this part ... not to worry" Says Joe. Rest assured Joe, I am not in the slightest bit worried. Actually, I can already hear it running and it sounds like music. Take your time and when you are done we'll compare sounds. ha ha
"Looks like the picture" My favorite saying when the engineers ask me how the tool turned out. I put the part next to the isometric view on the print 😁
Great job, Joe. The plans does not show, but this part needs 3 to 5 thou sheems in each side. This part goes loose after some time running. Greetings from Mexico.

One of very few people that could draw circles on an “ Etch a Sketch “ . 😊 !
And they'd be to spec.
So true!
When he started working the side of that part walking the circle ⭕️ I had to take a minute and pick my jaw up off the floor... 🤯😂

I had confidence it would show up.
When the light in the gap turns blue, you are at about 0.0002". This is quite noticeable when you have known smooth, flat and parallel features. Even when there is variation due to imperfections in flatness or straightness, the places that have that small gap still show a change to blue color.
Good observation, 0.0002 is about the wavelength of green light, green and longer wavelength can't get through.
Very nice, Thanks for the shout out. A piece of art work there.

Once the throat plate pin drops out, all bets are off. I bought the saw with that plate and have just never replaced it.

Nice work, look forward to next vid. This project is definitely on my list.
I'm anxious to see the final product, surely much better than most commercially available steam engines, truly a precision job as I like.
I'm really getting into this build. I will enjoy looking at this model for years to come.
Just watching this now... how did I miss this yesterday?? Damn! Thanks Joe!!! 😎👍🏻
Thanks for coming back.
These days, I pick up a print for a part and I ask myself “ What would JP do?”

I Appreciate the compliment.
I like all of your videos but this engine build has been pure candy. More please.
I already have the EL1 kit in house.
Great work and advice Joe, thanks. Love the shot of the finished product at 43.37... such a good fit can't make out the parting line of the eccentric straps.
Thanks. I didn't deburr those edges for just that reason. The parting line is nearly invisible.
Awesome as always....and I am very impressed that you can mill a circle by hand...looked better than if a CNC had done it!

Thank you for your careful consideration of what needs to be filmed vs explained. VG editing.
This video was 76 raw segments laced together. It really takes more time than most realize. Thanks for the comment.
Fantastic it is really coming along and looking fantastic. Thank you so much, I'm learning a boat load of cool tricks!!!
Plenty of opportunity to get creative on a project like this one.
That shadow trick is awesome. Thanks!
Its very handy.
Nice Joe, packed full of technique. I’ll have to watch this one a few times before I start on this part. I’m anxious to see this run.
A deeper explanation is going up on patreon.
Excellent! I just watched the material on Patreon regarding the cylinder. Very helpful, thank you.
Thanks John. I'm still figuring out how to use the patreon platform, so please be patient.
Thanks for these Joe. I actually am getting on the computer now just to see if you have a new video up.

Thank you Joe. Great stuff. Wish you lived in England .
You bet! Thank YT, you wouldn't even know about him otherwise. Small World. LOL

like you using what you call the shadow technique i have been doing that for years but people told me i was wrong thanks for that Joe
Visual confirmation can be very accurate and helpful under certain circumstances.
That's known as EYEBALLING
Precision eyeballing.
"Looks like the picture"
My favorite saying when the engineers ask me how the tool turned out.
I put the part next to the isometric view on the print 😁
Well, this one will look like the picture once he remembers to file off that feature he forgot to file off, the one opposite the threaded hole :D
I'm leaving it. It looks more realistic.
Getting excited now, can almost smell the steam...
Very few parts left now. It is getting close.
@@joepie221 I spose you'll be running on compressed air to start with, any plans to burn some fossilized plant material?

Hi Paul, so far I am very pleased.
What type of chuck is that on your mill that you can change out the tools? Awsome stuff, yummy for the brain
Albrecht drill chuck. Expensive, but worth it.
Thanks Joe
