    Wonderful stuff! I’m at a very similar point in my own locomotive and you’ve inspired me to pin the back heads and slide bars for better repeatability on assembly. It remains to be seen if there will be room in the smaller scale, but I shall try.

      Rookie machinist here. Wondering if a shouldered bolt would help for the slide locations? Or is it that the bolt and threads are "loose" and the dowel pin is needed for repeatable accuracy? Great video as always.

    Mr. Crispen is a master! This was a great tutorial of how to work in sub 1000nths precision. It points out the importance of having a surface plate and knowing how to use it. I, by the way, am very far from having even close to Mr. Crispen's skills. I am still using dial calipers much of the time! Ha. Ha.

    Nice video, and I like your going through the potential miss drilled hole scenario. I'm puzzled about one detail. I can see how you can assemble the slide bars with the recessed bolt installed and then installing the dowels through the bars followed by the bolts, but how will you disassemble them if needed? The flush dowel needs to be extracted before you can remove the bars from under the recessed bolt.

    I have only recently come across your workshop videos. Excellent and extremely instructive. I notice you have a Kerry bench mounted pillar drill. I have a floor standing version. Can I ask you a favour. When you have a moment, please can you take a photo of the inside of the top cover. I am missing the internals completely, bar two pieces of steel plate attached to the top of the cover. I have a very similar looking milling machine, a Pripen from Switzerland, and a Colchester Student that desperately needs its' 3 jaw chuck overhauling. Your video on grinding the chuck jaws was excellent.

    3:57 - By now, you have X- and Y- axis data.
    11:17 - On my 'oriental' (main-land or Tiawan, dunno) mill, it took some real 'fiddly' engineering to make it fit, but after some 9 months of (mostly off) effort, it got an X- and Y-axis DRO for not a lot of money, and I no longer count revolutions to return to zero.
    26:34 - That's the reason machining optical parts accurately are so difficult: Even if you're machining a 12" long surface, the optic is reading perhaps hundreds of yards off.
    General: As a punk kid of 12 or so, the father of a friend allowed me to 'keep him company' (pester him) in the process of machining the parts for a 3-1/4" (?- MANY years ago) gauge Atlantic (4-4-2), thereby beginning to teach me how to make chips on a lathe, milling attachment for the lathe, and shaper. Two years later, he allowed me to drive the thing with the instruction that you NEVER LET THE WATER LEVEL FALL BELOW THAT LINE! (I didn't). Later auto hot-rodding didn't hurt, but that WWI flat-belt (babbit-bearing) lathe made it clear that the resultant part was caused be the indian, not the arrow.
