Thanks for the video Keith, Look forward to future updates on how you manage the base problem.
Many thanks for taking the time to upload this mini series about the boiler. The videos speak for themselves and clearly it is an impressive product. That's one for my shopping list :-)
Absolutely love that boiler Keith. Never before have I seen a boiler do what this one has.
I was wondering if that was as steam leak or a burnt board. I couldn't tell. Very nice job. Well done.
Yea, she’s a beauty all right. I think you will have her self feeding and safely chugging along in no time. It seems to run fine and she looks very nice indeed. Thanks for sharing her with us, it was fun to watch.
wood spontaneously combusts at 270 degrees C so yes that's what happened I think the other base will work well great videos, Keith keep up your amazing work.
great series, I wonder if having a magnet in the base board might have caused it to light off as easy as it did, you did say you had to drill a couple holes thru it to mount the boiler
Seeing the 5A going like that gives you an idea about those 1.5 HP
Keith, would a kaowool blanket under the ashpan slow down the heat transfer to the wood? Maybe it will keep the wood from charring. Either that or a thin plate of refractory material between the metal pan and the wood. Of course you'll need longer screws to affix the pan.
I've just discovered your channel, I'm a watcher at the moment but would like to become a creator and yes, I thought that I had clicked onto the wrong web-site lol
The smoke from the board is there is video 2 if one looks for it. I did not comment then as I expected you would have it under control in the end.
Was there mention of a grate somewhere, or did I miss it?
Three educationale in row an it was awesome , the steam boiler was efficient (You to) 🧐
just knock away the loose charred bits and use the remainder of the board to hang tools (unless the heat ruined the magnets) . . . it will serve as a reminder and warning.

The screw vs. bolt debate. Here in the states it seems that threaded things smaller than 1/4" diameter are called machine screws, e.g. #4-40, #6-32, #8-32, #10-32 are screws. 1/4" and larger are called bolts, e.g. 1/4"-20 is called a bolt. Pointy threaded things are called wood screws and sheet metal screws. Bigger pointy threaded things are called lag screws. This comment is based on observation, I don't know of any standard or definition.
Just looking at a 'screw' and 'bolt' forget size a screw is intended to screw into a female thread, a bolt is intended to pass through a hole and have a nut screwed on it, think of it as replacing a rivet ! And yes it's possible to use each one in the same way
Thanks Black Country Steam! So, I looked up the definition in Machinery's Handbook - 27th edition. Here is what it said...
Differentiation between bolt and screw - A bolt is an externally threaded fastener designed for insertion through holes in assembled parts, and is normally intended to be tightened or released by torquing a nut.
A screw is an externally threaded fastener capable of being inserted into holes in assembled parts, of mating with a preformed internal thread or forming its own thread and of being tightened or released by torqueing the head.
An externally threaded fastener which is prevented from being turned during assembly and can be tightened or released only by torquing a nut is a bolt.
An externally threaded fastener that has a thread form assembly with a nut having straight thread of multiple pitch length is a screw.
An externally threaded fastener that must be torqued by its head into a tapped or other preformed hole to perform its intended service is a screw.
I'm confused. What is a Pawn film? I googled and all it shows is a crime thriller from 2013 and a documentary on Garry Kasparov.
Just kidding. You don't need to let this through to the channel. I just hoped you'd have a chuckle.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 I wasn't expecting that
I wonder how that boiler would do on a CliShay
I thought it looked like your base board was on fire last video.:) Why can't you have a stainless steel boiler in the UK? Is it for some environmental reason? I'd have thought copper would be just as bad if not worse.
Keith, please say - if for example one wants to mount this boiler on a real model e.g. a boat. How to correctly isolate wooden boat body from hot the firebox? Thank you!
Just insulate the boiler the best way you can.
It had no problem with one 5a how about two?
What temperature do you think you can get the superheated steam up to in this boiler? Wet steam is around 212 F or 100 C, if I remember right. Superheated or dry steam can be way up there.
please ask info@castleinstruments.co.uk
So this boiler not only pre heats the water and superheated the steam, but most impressively I thought, makes it's own charcoal for the next session!
Would making an undertank with water in it help solve the problem. It could be the hand pump supply, but not the injector supply.
Please stop guessing future episodes Roger. I you were a Patreon subscriber then you would already have seen a further 3 or 4 videos (as my Patreon supporters always get to see the videos first for as little as $1.00 per Month which is only $12.00 per year) . . . . . . . and I explain the possibilities of a water tank under the ashpan.
NICE
Thanks
Stainless steel boilers arnt allowed in england....what!?
how about fasteners
I wonder what the approximate price is for that boiler?
I viewed thier website, but it does not say outright.
please ask info@castleinstruments.co.uk
They should be called M6 caphead Setscrews (because they are fully threaded) If the had an un-threaded shoulder they would be called Bolts.
I thank you Inspector meticulous . . . . .
Hi Keith... what is your solution... I placed my V6 on a big Aluminium Plate 6mm stick... would this distribute properly the radiation heat? Or should we place the V6 on a spacer to allow the circulation of air underneath? ... what are your plans?
a video has been made, It will be on RUclips soon - my Videos are always for my "Patreon" supporters first .......
Please stop guessing future episodes ........ I you were a Patreon subscriber then you would already have seen a further 3 or 4 videos one of which is where I discuss the ashpan water tank idea (my Patreon supporters always get to see the videos first for as little as $1.00 per Month which is only $12.00 per year) . . . . . . .
Personally, I think an aluminum plate with rubber feet under it to space it off the table.
Keith have you ever thought of joining Yorkshire fire brigade 😊😊😊

Hello, why are stainless steel boilers not allowed in England?
That would be the UK. The problem is that when you heat chrome steel up it gets coloured and it's not "stainless" anymore.
What happens as long as there are tempering colours and water comes to contact with it there will be inter granular corrosion. And the danger with this is you won't see it and material failure will come suddenly and with no warning. Really spoiling your day.
So, If you use it for a boiler, you will have to pickle it with some appropriate stuff for that job.
But then another problem shows up: This stuff etches off the solder and also copper and brass are attacked by it.
Much better to keep it simple
I will hazard a guess, as I see no reply here to your question (Keith will chime in if I am incorrect). I think it may have to do with the failure value of the metals used in the boiler, copper will generally fail at just above 300~350 psi, where as stainless steel will fail at a much higher psi value making a boiler explosion much more violent due to steel welded joints as apposed to silver soldered joints (silver solder melting value is lower than the copper melting point). Strange though to consider demolition shape charges are made with copper as apposed to steel (interesting side bar)... Keith if I am wrong here please correct me... Cheers
I heard that stainless gets affected by the heat and or steam and or pressure cycles in such a way that cracks can appear in what most would assume to be a stronger metal
I'm no metallurgist, but I believe it is because austenitic stainless steels can be prone to chloride stress corrosion cracking. (and if you want to know what that is, I'm afraid you'll have to google it!)
I do know a little about shaped charges. They make shaped charge liners out of metal chosen for it's ductility & mass. Gold is actually the best metal out there for the job but it's a bit expensive - it depends - if a military wants to pay 1/2 a million bucks for a missile, then the cost of a gold charge liner might not be considered too expensive. Copper is the most common liner material by far. As far as the explosive goes, they usually choose a pretty energetic one so as to get a very fast moving detonation wave. As the wave meets the metal of the cone it accelerates it, tuning it inside out, from a cone to an elongated "jet" the tip of which might be moving at anything up to 20-24000 meters per second (it's the fastest man made thing on a macroscopic level). The jet is followed by a large "slug" which moves much slower - 800-1000mps. The jet bores a hole through armour in exactly the same way a garden hose might bore through a sand castle, displacing the steel as it goes. The projectile & armour don't change their state - they don't melt. At these sorts of speeds the metal flows hydrodynamically, that is, it behaves as if it were a liquid whilst remaining a solid. It's a fascinating subject.
wonder why stainless steel boilers illegal(I am from the USA)
Oh no. Not the magnetic board. What will you do? Haha.
May I ask, why are stainless steel boilers not allowed in England?
Because they can crack apparently as the Stainless Steel work hardens - or so I'm told . . . . .
@@keithappleton Thank you sir. I'm rubbish at engineering, about to retire after 40 years as NHS nurse. Now looking for something different to do. I had steam engines as a child, might find a club to join
@@keithappleton Damm & I would have built one like that too. I guess I need to know Metallurgy better.
I was expecting this burn of the wood. Why didn't you put a peace of rock wool under it to insulate the heat?
because then it may not have burnt the wood, therefore lessening the entertainment value for my viewers }:-)))
How much for this boiler?
It is not for sale.
Keith 😂😂😂 this is not a porn film😂😂😂😂
}:-)))
Tsk! Complain, moan, complain! You've got some free charcoal to light your next fire.
