Not over done by any means, I could sit and watch someone with Richard's depth of knowledge and experience all day. This really was a an excellent presentation.
Fantastic! Such an honour to be able to learn from someone with such a distinguished career. Thanks Richard for taking part, and thanks to Crispin for putting this together.
Richard is a real treasure. As a Yankee tool maker, I was familiar with all the British names of materials, save for white metal. Great video, Mr. Crispin!
This was just lovely, _MrCrispin._ It amuses me when someone makes a CAD drawing and sends it to a 3-D printer, and think they've really made something.
hey, not all of us hobbyist/makers can have a lathe or mill, the best I can do is Design something new using CAD and print it in a material that suits. its an art-form in itself, its by no means "send it to the printer" and be done with it, there are a lot of things to take into account! Dont Gatekeep making!
Come on, man. Making things is all about thinking of something useful or something you need, looking at the available tools/materials, making a prototype, refining it and re-making it until it's just right. How you get to the finished thing really doesn't matter, it's the piston or the resin chessman that counts. And yes, a really good interview!!
@@ale6242 Well, give him time. Not belittling others (there is never a good reason for it[1]) is a skill some people have to work hard to acquire. Some never make it to the championship. [1] Because diversity is the hero. The times where a single person can learn or master everything are long gone! Imagine that some day we need help in a sector where we thought that the expertise from exactly that guy a half year ago was all wasted love ... So we better work together with respect. That is what brought us humans forward to this point, through all the bad and good times in history! Have fun making ... both, no all of you!:)
Good stuff, and a great idea to get Mr. Gibbon in front of the camera. I think the most important note was when Richard, with all his experience and education, said he'd soon be taking a course on steel boiler maintenance. Keep soaking up that knowledge, folks, because we know what happens when we stop moving forward...
Great discourse on common engineering materials, turned parts with a steel with added Lead or Sulphur, modified machining steels, would make many hobbyists and machinists smile. This steel is predominantly supplied in rounds. Excellent both, thanks so sharing.
Thank you, Mr. Crispin, for having Mr. Gibbon and his wisdom in your video. As we say here in the States, every project needs at least one "hairy-eared" engineer on it. The only downside is that now I just have spend the money to get that T-shirt he wore (being hairy-eared myself)!
Thanks for introducing us to Richard with his wide experience in materials. In America black mild steel is known as “hot rolled”. I suppose to differentiate it from “cold rolled”.
An impressive man, bearing the full majesty of Fellow of the Institute of Mechanical Engineers. As a mere Member (I've been called this many times), it was very instructive to hear him speak. Materials are an important part of my work in aviation so thank you very much for making this video. Best wishes, Dean in Oxfordshire.
Hello Mr. Crispin, It was an interesting video, thank you... Very pleased to hear that you have made a tour of Richard's workshop video. Take care. Paul,,
What a delightful gentleman Richard is full of enthusiasm and knowledge and still getting a kick out of making things thanks for putting this together Crispin would like to learn more from you both
loved all the information about what the types of metal is good for, Also Richard is a legend , going on a course at his age to learn more about boilers. Who say's you cant teach an old dog new tricks. Bravo to you Richard.
Another very informative video for those that are less informed. Here in Australia we have a Boiler Code that we in the Hobby must follow. The Australian Miniature Boiler Safety Commitee or as we know it the A.M.B.S.C. There are 4 codes being Copper, Steel, Duplex and Sub Miniature Boilers. I grew up in the hobby as my Grandfather was heavily involved with it to the extent of being the Technical Representative back in the early 1980's as he was a C Eng, MIE (Aust) for John Lysaght & Australian Iron & Steel. Our code was started in the 1960's to set a standard for the hobby to follow to keep things safe.
Mr Crispin's skills know no bounds - what a great interview, keeping the interviewee on track, explaining stuff a knowledgeable subject like Richard may take for granted. Loved the cutaways back to your workshop. The only failing was it was too short! Oh, and chuckled at "drill raad" - at least you resisted "sadder"
Hi Mr Crispin Thankyou so much for publishing this and of course all your other videos. They have be invaluable, entertaining and informative. As a fitter machinist (more production maintenance and general machining than full machining) for 30+ years in Western Australia it all started with a mentor name Bob Brown (RIP) who introduced me to model engineering at the age of 12 that started my journey and interest. He started me on a journey to build a "Tich" which I still have the whistle, unfortunately life got in the way and I never completed this. I am however building a Rob Roy and your videos are part of the driving force for this. I live and work in a mining town and the closest model railway is 1200km from me so this is currently a solo project with noone else close by to share advice. That is why your channel is so invaluable. As you discussed in one of your videos things some time get in the way of projects, this I am guilty of this too (Rob Roy was started in 2000) but I always get back to this. Thankyou and keep videos like this being published. It certainly helps. Kind regards Rusty
Wonderfully informative chat. It's great to have the wealth of knowledge from people like Richard recorded in the public domain. For me such content is priceless and is what the internet is all about. Each of us has snippets of knowledge that others may not have come across as we stumble through our lives. So share the gems locked in your head people. Thus ends my rant and I'll put my hobby horse back in the barn. Cheers Eric
Thank you Richard and Crispin for this insight into metals. The topic of dezincification was particularly interesting. Also Richard your comment at the end, couldn’t agree with you more, nothing more satisfying than designing, building and using something you have created!
Moustache 4tw. Materials 4tw. Love the interview. The shirt and the correctness. You sir are an excellent example of British politeness. In the best sort of way.
Thank you for bringing us along to hear from a person with such expertise! I never knew about de-zincification, it has ruined many a day for me. It is so lovely to hear from someone like Richard. Please give him my regards.
What a splendid, informative & entertaining interview. You are very lucky Crispin to have such a wonderful mentor & the obvious respect and friendship you both share was a real pleasure to watch!
Great episode. Really interesting. Some fantastic information, what a knowable chap to talk to. Look forward to hopefully more episodes with Richard in.
Thank you for a excellent discussion. I have many years of education and experience with materials and I picked up a few tid bits and remembered a lot of information that I have forgotten over the years.
This was a great video and you have done yet again a great job. I take my hat off to Richard Gibbon for getting in front of the camera and sharing his big pool of Knowledge in steam engine building. This has save me as a potential newbie in doing this hobby from costly material mistakes. Its a real treat to watch you get into the detail on Loco building. It would be great to see Richard again. I looking at building a super simplex 5 inch gauge and what a channel.
I enjoy materials science. That was an excellent video. Richard is a highly knowledgeable and accomplished man. You are lucky to count him as a friend and we are blessed to have been afforded a glimpse of his knowledge.
being near completion of my first engine (Stuart S50 ) I did make my cross rails from Gauge plate , However the cross head is from the brass supplied with the kit . This has set me to thinking that I now need to remake it from Phosphor bronze . It shall be so having listened to your wise words , Thanks and Cheers Ade.
Interesting meeting Crispin, the final comment was the gold missing from the materials list in the discussion! Interesting American accent by the way, got a laugh from me even if it did not land across the water lol. Cheers, Jon
Crispin, this video is excellent. Thanks to both of you for the effort. Being new to the model engineering world, I find I have to guard against believing “facts” from my memory that were placed so long ago I can’t recall the sources. Metallurgy is in particular need of reinforcement, so thanks for that!
Good day to you all and just a thank you to crispin for yet another great video . Engineering was never my thing growing up but I’ve learned to focus more as the years have gone on 😂 Ive been meaning to post a message for a while now but I just never could decide what to say as there’s so many sides to crispin and not just in his engineering knowledge and ability but as a friend also. I work along side crispin and I’ve expressed to him how I’ve learned so much from watching these videos and I can see his passion for it all , I can honestly say when I’ve got any concerns at work he has always had time to help me and guide me and even share a how are you chat , that’s a friend indeed , Thank you crispy and I look forward to a visit to the workshop one day .. 👍🏻🙂 God bless & keep up the great videos Mr Crispin .
A great insight into what to use and where. A lifetime of knowledge. What an excellent video. Hopefully more interviews with Richard in the future Mr Crispin. Regards Kevin
A very good video Crispin that covered a lot which should be better known. Yes that white metal/Babbit is used as a bearing material, and yes the correct lubrication was mentioned. But what should have been strongly pointed out is the axles or anywhere else that Babbit or any metal including bronze is used as a sleeve type bearing those axles or crankshaft need to float on an oil wedge exactly as it does in every automotive engine. In use with the proper and enough lubrication that oil wedge forms as the parts start to rotate. At that point there is or should be zero metal to metal contact. With too little clearance or with too much, that oil wedge can't properly form and you will have bearing problems.
Yes, the properties of metals vary extensively so careful thought is paramount when designing any machine, thank you for clarifying those differences, you have a wealth of knowledge that I very much appreciate,,Rick in Alabama (USA) ,SAYS THIS,,Good on ya.
I'm a faithful follower of you great series. This contribution is especially useful because of the valuable information from two so experienced persons.
Great to sit down with the old guys they have loads of tips. regarding Cold rolled Steel though, if I needed to machine a thin bit, I would surface grind both sides with a wobble wheel.
Could you do a similar film on when to soft solder, when to silver solder, when to braze, when to weld, and so on please? Always been making things, and as Richard says, imagining how to make things. That's one the real skills that's hard to gain and one you will never finish adding to. The more you know the more you can do and work out how to do.
JUST THE JOB no better feeling when you make something that works , or taking something that somebody has put in the skip ,and you fix it , excellent video keep on learning
Thanks Mr C. If I got nothing else out of that discussion the lubrosity of cast iron being used for loco wheels made me chuckle especially when the "experts" at the hobby shops sell them. How insane is that. Thank you and Mr Gibbons for taking the time to put this chat together. Most appreciated. One request. Please get some better microphones for each of you. The level difference between the chat and your personal inserts were very marked. Regards from Canada's banana belt.🤞🇬🇧🤔🕊️🇺🇦🍌🇨🇦👍
@MrCrispin. What a superb video you and Richard put together, Richard has probably forgotten more than many engineers have ever learnt, but willingly shares what he knows and still hankers to learn. If you can get the chance to tie him down again I'm sure there are many subjects you could discuss together. When buying material, particularly from a reputable metal stockist who works with model engineers, it is worth mentioning what you are doing with the material. I did it once when building an old published project, and I had forgotten about dezincification and the dealer pulled me up about it. Also they appreciate cutting lists, can be a pain to put together but it helps them to help you. Look forward to the workshop tour.
Good video. Love the material knowlegde. As a mechanical engineer I knew about the cold rolled steel. I found out the hard way in school in 1981😅. What I didn’t know was the finer grane cast iron. So thanks for that.
When I machine phosphor bronze I always make sure I use a smaller drill and then bore it. Unless you have a controlled feed on a CNC I find the drill likes to wander. We manufacture gun mounts for the army and we have used brass for bearing bushing during the design stages requested by the designer and it wears so quickly on moving parts bronze is so much better.
"If the lubrication is suspect" What a phrase! Excellent Interview Mr C. I always learn something from the old timers. I seem to recall Richard's voice from your talk at York, is that the same fella? (I may have to go look at that again). While not quite there yet at 57, I am rapidly approaching old timer status at a rate that alarms me 🤣. Hopefully I will able impart some of my knowledge of things as eloquently as Richard does when the time comes. One things that stands out, Richard, despite a lifetime of engineering work is going to take a course on steel boilers. Always trying to improve ones knowledge is the hallmark of people who like to build things and never a bad idea. A refresher on material terms was most welcome, however Bright & Black steel was a new one for me. I did know what white metal was simply from watching some of the old LMS shop videos that can be found on You Tube. Long live Richard, thank you sir. Cheers gentlemen.
Many thanks to you and Roger. One of the advantages to copper as a boiler is that because it is a very good conductor of heat, it is a bit more forgiving if you run a boiler lower on water than you should. All materials lose strength when hot, but because the top of the fire box can conduct heat away to the lower parts of the boiler when copper it is less likely to go bang. The same is not true of steel which you can heat to forging temperature at one end of a 2' rod and pick up at the other.
@@MrCrispinEnterprises I hasten to add that you should not run your water below the firebox crown in either case, you are just a lot less likely to have the boiler go bang.
I have to agree w Graham. I'd love to see more of these types of interviews. You are a great interveiwer. The insert video explanations were brillant. The visual aids really helped. I also appreciate the metal type translations for us types across the pond. Thanks!!

Excellent both, thanks so sharing.
I was electronic engineering in the ’70s. I’ve started making things recently. This was really good information. Thanks
Just visited the Museum last Tuesday, not only are its things a treasure but also the people who curate, restore and maintain those things. Cheers!

Being new to the model engineering world, I find I have to guard against believing “facts” from my memory that were placed so long ago I can’t recall the sources. Metallurgy is in particular need of reinforcement, so thanks for that!
Oooh, this is really well edited! I like the little asides on topic!
Excellent! I've learned a lot from this video! Thank you both, gentlemen!
Thanks for the video, Both you and Richard did a great job with all the information.
Thank you both for taking the time to make such a comprehensive video on materials!
Lovely job Gentleman thanks for sharing your knowledge with us.
Good day to you all and just a thank you to crispin for yet another great video .

See you on Friday
Thank you- great information!!! Respect from Texas
A great insight into what to use and where. A lifetime of knowledge. What an excellent video. Hopefully more interviews with Richard in the future Mr Crispin. Regards Kevin
Thanks Crispin you've inspired me to go down to the work shop and get stuck into the traction engine I've been building for far to long!!
Sounds good!
A very good video Crispin that covered a lot which should be better known.
Yes that white metal/Babbit is used as a bearing material, and yes the correct lubrication was mentioned. But what should have been strongly pointed out is the axles or anywhere else that Babbit or any metal including bronze is used as a sleeve type bearing those axles or crankshaft need to float on an oil wedge exactly as it does in every automotive engine.

With too little clearance or with too much, that oil wedge can't properly form and you will have bearing problems.
Great video, makes me realise what a very good apprenticeship I had with the CEGB as we were taught about material properties and were to use them
Yes, the properties of metals vary extensively so careful thought is paramount when designing any machine, thank you for clarifying those differences, you have a wealth of knowledge that I very much appreciate,,Rick in Alabama (USA) ,SAYS THIS,,Good on ya.
I'm a faithful follower of you great series. This contribution is especially useful because of the valuable information from two so experienced persons.
Thanks
A great video containing exceptional information.
Great to sit down with the old guys they have loads of tips. regarding Cold rolled Steel though, if I needed to machine a thin bit, I would surface grind both sides with a wobble wheel.
Wobble wheel?
Well what a wonderful guy the knowledge that Richard has built up is fascinating, thank you Crispin for introducing him. 👴🏻👍
Love the knowledge you put out it's glad to see you back
Thanks
What a wealth of information. Thank you from us all
I'll look forward to Richard's workshop tour but I'd also like a tour of his lathe !
Could you do a similar film on when to soft solder, when to silver solder, when to braze, when to weld, and so on please?
Always been making things, and as Richard says, imagining how to make things. That's one the real skills that's hard to gain and one you will never finish adding to. The more you know the more you can do and work out how to do.
JUST THE JOB no better feeling when you make something that works , or taking something that somebody has put in the skip ,and you fix it , excellent video keep on learning
Making things is more satisfying that designing them. Very therapeutic.
This was just lovely, MrCrispin.

im not a model engineer but found this very interesting thank you both
That was an education!
Thank you for passing this on.

Many thanks to you and Roger. One of the advantages to copper as a boiler is that because it is a very good conductor of heat, it is a bit more forgiving if you run a boiler lower on water than you should. All materials lose strength when hot, but because the top of the fire box can conduct heat away to the lower parts of the boiler when copper it is less likely to go bang. The same is not true of steel which you can heat to forging temperature at one end of a 2' rod and pick up at the other.
Good point!
@@MrCrispinEnterprises I hasten to add that you should not run your water below the firebox crown in either case, you are just a lot less likely to have the boiler go bang.
Great video! I learned a TON! Thanks guys.
An incredibly informative video. Thank you for taking the time to glean and present such useful information. 👏👏👍😀

Very good info thanks. I want to know building procedures for that Blackgates twin...... Tutorials on that PLEASE! Jigs and construction techniques.
Haha, that was useful and you guys are great. I laughed so hard at "drill rod"
Really interesting video Mr Crispin. Thank you

Very useful, thank you both.
A few more of this type of video would be great. 😎
I have to agree w Graham. I'd love to see more of these types of interviews. You are a great interveiwer. The insert video explanations were brillant. The visual aids really helped. I also appreciate the metal type translations for us types across the pond. Thanks!!
Over here in the States we generally refer to O1 as drill rod, sometimes d2 but usually its O1 in my exp.
