- This is part 10 of a 10 part series on building a large model OSCILLATING (wobbler) STEAM ENGINE. Pattern making for the cylinder was covered in another video series. Many of the machining operations as well as erecting the engine are shown. The engine has a 2 1/2" bore, 2 5/8" stroke, and a 8 1/2" dia. flywheel.
Both of the video series were wonderful. Your knowledge and teaching ability are boundless. Thank you for investing your time in making these videos.
I just came across your channel and really enjoyed watching this series. I plan on viewing all your videos. I hope you realize how much your videos will be appreciated, well into the future, by new viewers as they discover them. They are also a great tribute to all machinists, making people aware of the skill and vast contributions of the trade. Great job. Thank you so much mrpete! -Kevin, Tinley Park, IL
This was simply an outstanding series tubulcain - I have enjoyed all of your fantastic videos, but this series really takes the cake. I hope you will share another project like this again with us sometime soon.
Truly one heck of good craftmanship! I used to work in the iron milling industry and I know a little about the effort you must have put in creating this;) Nice to see this kind of work being done by a real human being! Good job!!!
You said this engine served no purpose, but it did, I learned a lot watching this video series. I learned a little politics, a little comedy and a whole lot about metal casting and machining. Thank You
Appreciate your efforts in providing us all with an extended glimpse into the details involved in creating a nice mechanical model engine. A lot of information, techniques and considerations have been transferred from your shop to the world. A good example of why today is much better than the buggy whip days.
What a fantastic set of videos . . saw them all in on sitting. I used to be an engineer like you a long time ago. You deserve to get an Oscar !
Thanks . Stewart
👍👍
Best 90 minutes I've spent on RUclips!
You sir sound exactly like Stanley Meyer, my number one hero of all time,deserving multiple Nobel prizes. But instead he gets murdered by the corrupt corporations and politicians. I wish someone would notice. My hope supply is running out. A great man, a real true blue superhero!
As a 25 yr model maker, I thoroughly enjoyed this series. Most impressive to me is the home casting. I do a lot of cnc work but got my start apprenticing with an old timer and have done it all by hand in the past. Great explanations and common sense approach to the steps. Thanks for the video, it was quite an effort.-TM
I watched all 10 episodes. Very well done, especially seeing your grandson in the shop with you. A very gratifing series. Thank you.
Tubalcain, as a Patternmaker, who has not worked in the Trade for at least 35 years this brought back a lot of memories, Thankyou so much for the memories, I mainly worked in Iron Foundries, but also made Patterns for Steel and Brass. We actually used a mixture of Glass Putty and Plaster of Paris and a fillet ball for our fillets, this mixture went hard after a while and he clean-up was easy, yet all the rest was the same as we did in Australia, although I never used a metal lathe
WoW! I don't know what to say except, you are a true craftsman! In this day and time, you are one of a few that remain. I hope you pass your skill and work ethic on to your grandson so he can become one of the people that bring our country back to building great things again! Thanks.
It took me two days, but do not worry: I was not bored by a word of this! Thank you for sharing, Sir, and belated congrats on a working engine.
Great job! Your video presentation is excellent; you cover all the details and, contrary to your possible fears, never get boring or drawn out. Thank you for taking the time.
Watched all 10 parts back to back and I enjoyed every minute. Thanks for sharing this with us.
Awesome series! I just watched the whole thing in one sitting, and it was quite fascinating. I've only done a bit of machining before and never any casting, so it was very cool to see the process for a project like this!
BEAUTIFUL WORK!! Enjoyed this series VERY MUCH! Pretty much watched the entire thing in one afternoon!
+MattsMotorz Thanks for watching
Mrpete222 i thank you for the videos, both for knowledge and entertainment. Seeing the whole process from start to finish was enjoyable. You sir are a top notch craftsman, and made the whole process look easy. Thank you for posting these videos online.
What a wonderful series! I've never done any machining, but I am fascinated by it and very much appreciate what you've done here. I work in the video profession, and I know how much work even a simple project like this can be. I am certain it will inspire others in many ways. Thank you : )
orcasea59 Thanks for watching.. Yes, lots of work
I am currently laid up with a bruised Achilles tendon and watched this entire series of videos for the second time. The first time was as you were building it and that gave me the bug to start machining myself. I have since procured an Atlas 618 lathe, a small Craftsman shaper, and a medium sized mill. I have successfully built your recent small wobbler engine and am looking at this engine for the next project. I will post pictures or a video of the wobbler I made when I am mobile again. Thank you so much for all you have done for the machinist "want to be's". You have given a lot of folks a lot information and pleasure with your videos.
Again, THANK YOU! Fred
The amount of time you dedicate to teaching is admirable. Thank you so much for what you do.
This was one of the most exciting ten ssessions yet. Most illuminating. Tell your grandson he has the makings of a great Engineer too.
Best regards 19Asres
I've been watching a lot of your videos, and I must say thanks for taking the time to share your knowledge and skills with the world. Very inspirational!
mrpete,
Thank you so very much for these videos. I wish I had a shop teacher like you way back when I was in high school shop. Please keep the great work!
you are a genius and so skilled. you obviously have a lot of experience. im 27 and have recently bout my own furnace kit for home melting. i am also in the process of buying my own lathe and mill. i have never practiced working with metal but woke up one day and decided its time for a new hobby. you have given out so much advice and now i feel so ready to start my new hobby. Now all i need is some Dry days to melt my Aluminium Thanks again from Bray, Ireland
It is truly impressive to watch your videos; not only do you spend a lot of time machining, but the time spent setting up your projects and editing your videos is HUGE! I have always been facinated with mechanical devices and I recently acquired a South Bend 9A metal lathe (1952). My latest project was to replace the single groove motor pulley with a two groove pulley. Utilizing your video, it turned out perfect! Thank you so much for the time and energy you spent sharing your knowledge!
Absolutely wonderful video's as always. I've been daydreaming for years about building a steam powered bike/motorcycle, but never found a good enough source of information to build upon. Your video series has been extremely intellectually expanding. Thank you very much for taking the time to make them.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH
I love your videos, Several generations of craftsmen in my family, I always had tols around and learned to use them at an early age, learned to drive a nail before Mom taught me to cook.
Keep up the good work your videos, projects and thoughts have great meaning.
Thank you
Sincerely,
Sue
it is truely a thing of beauty.
you should build a musemum, if not a real one then at least a virtual one.
thanks for showing us all this. i've learned a lot
not only about machining but also about modesty and patience.
I am so pleased I found this series. Jordan has grown up since you made this video. Great looking project and I enjoyed every minute of the videos.
Thank you very much
Watched all 10 in one setting. Not a dull ,moment, Great job and perfect explanations.
+RHEAD100 Thanks for watching
Just finished watching all 10 episodes and I must say it was a fun journey. Thanks for sharing...
I had to watch all 10 back to back. Absolutely great!
just finished all 10 videos; i loved the detail and time taken esplaining yourself in this series, im always learning new things from the internet and the more details the better. i really enjoyed watching you make this engine, thank you so much.
Incredible craftsmanship, from start to finish. I learned so much from this series of videos. Thanks Mr. Pete!
+dale pratt Thank you Dale
You are a national treasure. What will we do when men such as yourself are no longer with us. God bless you and your family.
I can sincerely second each and every one of the comments before mine! Your videos are superb, and since I am older than you, for these videos to be crystal clear, you had to have done a superb job in exploring the concepts being taught!!! My first vocation and avocation is medicine, but I have been exploring the feasibility of becoming a gunsmith as an avocation to pursue in the "fall" of my life. Your videos are an inspiration, and it want to thank you for your selfless contribution to the knowledge pool. Your videos will be timeless, and your teaching style is engagingly seductive, bringing many into the vocation of machinist, who might never have found meaningful employment!!
GOD BLESS YOU, MY FRIEND!!!
I had been looking everywhere for a build process of one of these. You have shown me a 90 minute long one of a large scale, this is better then I was looking for. Taught me quite a lot and I'm very great-full, thanks.
I'm wanting to do one of these at a smaller scale though I don't have the ability to make my own castings.
Maybe longer than reading War and Peace but much, much more fun! Your grandson is lucky to have such a talented grandpa.
Watched them all and enjoyed them all. I won't ever do such a project but that's not the point. Students will suffer due to the retirement of this wonderful Teacher! Excellent explanation of the whys and hows of the project. - - Tubalcain sure does Entertain!
Looks like a great casting. The bosses give it a finished, professional, look. If I like what it looks like, color wise, I don't care what others think. That knock right at the end, reminded me of Steve McQueen, in the Sand Pebbles. I have truly enjoyed watching this series. You sir are a true craftsman, and you are living my dream.
+Mature Patriot yes, that is why I use the boss. It makes it look finished and professional.
Your absolutely amazing! I'm planning on making an old 2 stroke into a steam engine. I also want you to know that I'm glad everything worked out and good luck for the future
Thank you for taking the time to share these videos. I found this entire series very informative, and I looked for new videos for the next step each day. I am waiting with anticipation on your next videos. More pattern making and casting I hope!
ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC...ABSOLUTE AWSOME...FROM START TO FINISH
THANK YOU...
I truly enjoyed watching the whole series
boy did I every learn a whole bunch of stuff
thank you very much
Absolutely facinating, your right the engine has no pratical purpose, but the journely was woth every minute. I hope you continue to do more and look forward to the next project for the fun of it.
Excellent and informative series. Inspiration and encouragement for beginners like myself, and your presentation style is pleasant and relaxed. None of it is boring as you avoid the common mistake of showing long drawn out machining sequences.
Fantastic - thank you!
Thank you, I'm glad you like the videos
Hi Mr Pete
Loved your whole series of the building of this little marvel!!
I work in a heavy foundry in the United Kingdom, We make castings up to very nearly 600 tonnes and I feel sure that you have better moulding skills than any of our time served moulders!!!
I must just say that I loved your American accent and dry wit!!
Many thanks for a couple of hours of very interesting viewing :)
Oh, keep up the great work ;-)
I just finished the 10 video set. Thank you Mr. Pete. I really enjoyed seeing your build.
Hello Lyle,
I just watched the ten episodes of your steam engine video. What an outstanding display of your absolute knowledge and craftsmanship. Between these and all your other videos, I must say you are an encyclopedia of knowledge on all subjects pertaining to pattern making, casting, machining and all other related topics. You remind me of my uncle that taught me so much about these subjects. You and him must have been cast from the same mold..
Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge and keep up your great work!
Thank you very much
Wow!! I have really enjoyed watching all 10 parts!! I'm going to be making a steam engine soon here also!! This is so help full, and very encouraging. Thanks for sharing!
Loved all ten episodes! Now do it all over again in brass! :-)
Thanks for the fun and instructive videos.
Really fascinating series. I especially appreciate it when you show mistakes. Glad you didn't retire as a couch potato. I will have to make some patterns and pour a mold! Having spent 9 years in an aluminum foundry making only ingots, I'm ready for something else -even if its just an ant hill. Thanks again for retiring so productively.
Thanks for watching.--yes--try molding
wow,oh wow,what a superb set of videos.
Beautiful video work.You captured all the main points of each step.
Good on you for making these wonderful videos.Thank you.
Absolutely enjoyed every minute of your build, and I'm looking forward to seeing more of your work.
It's been a great series, thanks very much for making them.
Thanks
I was a apprentice trained Tool Maker in the UK back in the 80's and this is the best thing close too how I did my job I have ever seen i'm tearfull!!!
helmutoil Thank you VERY much for the comment & encouragement. Keep watching.
You mention in this last one with 10 parts it's rather a long set start to finish.
Well I just watched everyone of them tonight in a row and it was time very well spent!
I did not need to sleep tonight anyway LOL
Thanks! I learned a great deal from your videos tonight!
You mention in several you hope your not going into to much detail or borring with details. You did GREAT!
I learned more in your videos of how to use my lathe/mill and do setups than I have in the several years I've had it!
I really did enjoy this series on the engine, i am building a sand muller now
and going to get into this part of the hobby and thanks to you i think i can.
Your the best !
Thanks 👍👍👍
A bitter-sweet moment, all finished and all over. Thank you for taking the time to record your progress and teach us all. I have an idea for another project...how about a steam helicopter? There should be loads of videos in that.
Best Wishes, Brendan.
Fine project, very interesting. Many compliments to you and your work too. You worried about too much detail, I enjoy the detail of video's such as this. I would have also liked to have seen the actual pour of each mold.
Good job sir, we are a dying breed that can work with tools and our minds.
Takes me back to my engineering days - thank you.
+Martin Peck Thanks for watching
Thank you for taking time to video and share your work. I enjoyed watching all 10 videos.
That is a beautiful engine Mr Pete! You truly are an artist and craftsman!
I enjoyed this series immensely!
I just finished watching this series again so I'll X2 my comment up there!
Thank you very much
Well, Mr. pete, I have truly enjoyed your videos on the steam engine. I also build steam engines, but with no castings - just parts that I can buy and machine to result in a self operating engine. I had the thought that you might actually want to sell kits of unfinshed castings to make this engine. Lots of work, though, and for me, when it turns to work, it's no longer fun. You really did a fantastic job explaining your processes and showing how it's done. Again, thank you- I enjoyed it- PP
Sir,
I stumbled across your video(s) today and ended up watching all ten. I enjoyed them immensely and will search for other video(s) you have created. Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts and expertise with us. I, like so many others, have learned a few things from the vid's. On that note...they certainly weren't too long nor boring. Actually, I would have enjoyed more of the details, but understand that that is quite time consuming and may bore some...I'm just not one of them! Thanks again for taking the time and sharing.
By the way, I enjoyed seeing clips of your grandson assisting in the shop. My now fourteen year old boy spends time in the shop with me and he is learning the lathe, mill, and other machines we have access too. Your grandson is of similar age to my own boy and I'm curious how his tutoring has gone since you first posted the vid's. Thanks again for sharing.
Very nice series.I loved all of it.Your sense of humor great.I found myself laughing about the boring bar "Stop drinking beer for a few months and you can afford it".Anyhow, if you ran that fast enough and had the right attachments, I imagine that would make a great paint shaker.
Totally enjoyed all ten parts! Thankyou so much!
A very interesting and well narrated series of videos, thanks for sharing this with us.
Watched all 10 episodes , that was just great. Giving me the fever to try one here at my shop.
Thanks. Give it a try
Thanks mrpete222 . I enjoyed watching the whole project. You are a very talented engineer !
I'm a first time viewer of your videos. Thanks very much for sharing your experience. Given the amount of time you spent pattern making, I can see why stuff is made on CNC milling centers now. No need for a pattern and the metalurgical vagueries of casting, but a crazy amount of money for the milling center. Still, nice to see the old technology in action.
Great series! Like everybody else, I watched all 10 in one setting.
THANK YOU!
I am very impress, your knowledge is accurate, I watched the videos, I hope see your next project .
Congratulations Greg.
Excellent series of videos, thank you very much for uploading them. Big thumbs up.
+Paul .Austin thanks for watching
Awesome job got started watch the videos and could not stop till 1:30 in the morning .
Incredible! Very nice engine! Always wanted to see a huge "wobbler" style engine.
great video series ! I love watching your videos and learning from an old school craftsman !
That was real pleasure watching the entire process. I've learned a lot from your videos and want to thank you for sharing them.

Just finished watching the all series and enjoyed each end every bit of it : )
Thanks for the fun, the entertainment, end more than everything else, for the very informative content of your videos.
Keep up the great work.
My best wishes of a merry xmas and happy new year .
Watched all 10 together,it sounds perfect as all big engine's do,well done putting video together,it was very professionaly edited, 5 stars for this set of video's, now going to look for some more,
Regards from England.
Thank you very much
I really enjoyed seeing these videos. I do know why I missed them before. I love the machining spots... I am a machinist myself.
Really enjoyed watching this set of videos.
Thanks.
Wonderful looking and working engine! Thanks for sharing! Your videos are inspiring and also are a great help in my home machine shop!
A Very enjoyable and inspirational set of videos.Thank you
+John Lukes Thanks for watching
Very well done series of videos. Enjoyed watching.
great video and fantastic series.
thank you for sharing.
Thanks for taking the time to produce these videos!
Thanks for taking the time to make all of those videos.
Excellent work mrpete !
I love that engine, who cares if it has no purpose other than to satisfy the senses !
Great video! I have watch it many times. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us.
Thanks for watching, I am glad you liked it
Watched the series for the third time!
I've really enjoyed this series, its been great. I'm exited to see what you will make next.
Fantastic kind of work sir, ive enjoyd each part of your video
I hope to see your next project allso here on the tube.
From the Netherlands we greet
Tot ziens!
Sir, you are a national treasure!
Riveting, had to watch the whole series of 10 at one sitting .
Great video's.
I never knew that casting metal could be a hobby project.
What a superb series! Thanks!
Awesome project and video series! Lots of information that most videos do not even come close to letting you know.
Quite an accomplishment,Sir.This can be built from scratch.Who knows.Thank you.
WOW! Your true gift is patience.
Thanks for watching
I was thinking, It is ashamed that this beautiful work will go unused. Why don't you use it to power a ceiling fan. Make a shelf near the ceiling and run a drive belt to fan. With a permanent switched air line you'll hear the wonderful click clack when ever you want a little extra air.
Thank you very much for this great tutorial! I'm hoping to be able to do something like this myself. You've been a great inspiration. / Henrik from Sweden
Henrik Emanuelsson Thanks for watching
