Making that fixture shifted much of the cost of a possible mistake from the metal of the steam chests to the cheaper and more easily replaceable fixture. Once you had the fixture made, then the machining on the steam chests was much less liable to go wrong. Great way to shift the risk towards the discardable fixture. You keep teaching and inspiring me. No music
Fantastic as usual JP, one thing I don’t understand, there are over 1000 views but only 263 likes???? COME ON PEOPLE SHOW SOME RESPECT TO THIS VERY TALENTED MAN AND HIS TIME!!!
2:10 definitely prefer the silence to music. Even the sped up sounds of traffic on the 138 is better, and has become a signature feature of the channel.
No music, ever. One of the reasons your videos are so much more earnest and candid are the absence of cheesy production tricks. Love you and always will, Joe!
Neat fixture! Like the tip with the aluminum block to keep the drill on track. There were really valuable machining tips in virtually every segment , Awesome!
Good lord Joe, this is why we come here. To see the impossible become possible albeit by making a Rube Goldberg machine to accomplish it. Yes blast the sides me thinks.
Great work as usual Joe. I know you are the god of imperial. I have to say, I started my career here in Australia, in imperial, and since we converted to metric in the 70's, i find it hard to think any other way, especially when you have a piece of material and need to mark it into x number of egual sections. Keep up the good work, enjoying the very technical side of this build.
This jig is more complex and costly than the part itself. I think a new part, from scratch it will be easier to make. But then we loose all the challenge, and an amazing jig. Great video!
Very nice job,that fixture was a piece of magic,others use a 4 jaw chuck,and a lot of hand work. Like your explainations more great info for us non trained amature machinists.
I see the comment from other guys and agree. No music please, unless You have filing sounds in the library. (Joking) Those short cuts don't need any filler. There are plenty of Chinese scrap mills cutting down everything into small twisted pieces. I'm sure I could pick any such piece of metall, give it to You and ask You do anything with it! Brrr, those castings.... Why not send cast iron balls for all the parts? If something is "Mission impossible" for most of us, You'll manage. I also got a 4 flute 5/16 (8 mm)in the mill, but special for aluminium! You did well in millimeters for quite some time! I take my hat off! (Joking) Time 13:24. Surely a beauty. In what bin did You find it?....... Joking! Time 14:08. What the hack? Your bins are magical.... Old fashioned 4 jaw adjusting not good enough? Time 18:00, and later. The gain of the audio dropped to barely possible to follow. As always, the work of a master. Excellent footage, editing and presentation.
Love the fixture! Watch a few videos of Engels coach shop. He doesn’t talk much and makes the best use of background music ever. It is background and soothing. I can’t think of another RUclips channel that does a good job of background music so study him and beware that most background music is unappreciated.
No music please . Great job as usual Joe! That fixture was really thinking out of the box in six dimensions lol. If the cylindrical block and round locking collar wasn't enough, the aluminium slug for the drilling operation was even better. God you do plan your jobs out to the nth degree Joe! One again showing your absolute mastery or your profession!
Hi Joe, with regards to what I prefer in the silent sections of speeded up film, Mickey and Minnie Mouse going past in their V8 always makes me smile. Thank you for all your videos, tips and tricks.
You know if he talks while filming it sounds just like Alvin the chipmunk so that mixed in would have everyone wondering what was said, and slowing the video down to make sure that they didn’t miss anything. Wonder how that would affect the analytics? Hey Joe- we need a test video!😅
That fixture is a work of art "overkill" but a work of art. My personal preference would be to sand blast the steam chest. Fantastic vid as always, I learn so much watching them.
I really loved that fixture to hold the steam chest. Can see that will make life much easier in doing lathework on items like those. Certainly an item i intend to make for an anticipated project near future. Thanx for that shop gem. The overall video was also a great learning experience
Great video Joe. The metric versus imperial argument is rather moot. I have a machine drawing that was done in the 1800's. The dimensions are in fractions such as; 9/32" or 63/64". That was difficult to use. The metric system by using units of 10 made it easy for uneducated workers to use. When the imperial system started using decimals such as 0.500", 0.250", I think that turned the corner and made the imperial system just as usable as the metric system. The difficulty comes when the systems are mixed as in using MM, meters, miles and pounds. Or having both metric and imperial bolts in cars. Most folks will use whatever is standard for their shop or industry. We put a man on the moon designing systems with imperial units in the 50's and 60's...then lost a satellite in the 90's when trying to convert to metric.
If the sheet metal that covers the cylinder is brass, leaving the steam chest un blasted could look really classy. You could also cold blue it. I’m a railroad guy and they always made those early locos look great. Just my 2 cents (3 cents with inflation). Great fixture! Love your videos!!
I like the contrast between the cast & the machined surface, even though no one will see it. To me it's like seeing Aluminum heads on an Iron block. I'm not a machinist, but I know what I like.
The fixture part was a work of art by it's self. I may be just a hobbyist, but great to put into the old memory bank for sure, Thx again for filing and sharing Joe.
no music, valve goes other way round, you must have a new kit, I'm sure the bosses were offset slightly when I built mine. keep chest and cover machined with slight polish. love the jig. great vid Joe
Joe I would most likely make a small fixture with a guide bushing to do that drilling in the rectangular area so you don't allow the drills to wander. Very nice work on todays parts.
Sundays with Joe is most defiantly habit forming. Great to see you again old friend. Just passed Miller time here. One major thing about this kit is quality castings and good prints. I suppose these can be done with careful filing (my milling machine) but would stick out like a sore thumb along side of the great pieces you have previously made. They are especially nice. For sure on appropriate tunes that accommodate the process. Keeps us paying attention. A QUIZE ! LOL. I haven't heard that term in a very long time. GIVE ER EH, LOL. Up here in Canuckian land we were inflicted with having to deal with metric. I still have to convert to imperial. We got to love those digital Very nears that give us both values eh, LOL. Some old dogs just can't be easily taught new things eh, LOL. Here we go with jigs and fixtures. Well worth the time and resorses for the shop drawer. It can be days or even months/years before they are needed again. You must have a couple really big drawers of them. I do remember with cast iron no coolant needed for the best part (I still like just a touch for internal tapping) and using carbides normally designed for stainless. Wow, that came out of the archives, LOL. I am not sure about texturing these. I can't really tell until it is all assembled. Your call anyways. SWEEEEET pieces my friend. Hurry up and get the next install eh. This just keeps getting better and better. Joe Pie style !
Hey Joe, I was thinking about your valve last night. The D-slide valve is asymmetric with a thick wall and a thin wall enclosing the exhaust chamber. The thin walls need to run parallel to the valve rod and axis of articulation. The thick walls ultimately determine both your steam lap and exhaust lap as they cover and uncover the port features. For example, when the valve fully covers one of the steam ports, the covered steam port is presented to the exhaust port. The dimension between the edge of the valve and the opening of the exhaust port is your exhaust lap. Likewise, the edge dimension from the OD of the valve body to the opening of one of the steam ports is your steam lap.
I had never considered that one side of a drilled hole being more oversized than the other. I've had that happen to me before when trying to be extremely precise, and assumed my drill bit had wandered on me. I know that a wandering bit will cause the same issue, but as i said, it's happened when I was being extremely meticulous in maintaining accuracy.
Joe, you have been quietly tried and found guilty of being a fixture freak! I suspect you enjoy devising and making your fixtures AT LEAST as much as making the model itself - and I, for one, really envy you for that. I lack the patience to follow in your footsteps, unfortunately.
first impression as the block slid down the studs into place... should be blasted to match. It'll only take a few minutes but the matching finish will please the eye 👁
I never thought of the web on a bit doing that, nice tip. I would blast the surface so any exposed parts match closer to the rough casting appearance plus if you run a larger bit through it would help conceal the slight misalignment, if any, when it is bolted up. No music please, nothing against it but when I am watching instructional video's I prefer silence rather than music, I figure if I want to listen to music I can bring up what type of music I prefer listening to as well.
Mr Pie music yes Steam Chests leave it machend ,It shows your great work! Ihat is a real engine, it may be small but it is a real engine.. In Denver we have had 3 days of rain.!
Hey Joe!!!! Great video again! I don’t care if you want music or not. You decide. The Bridport Foundry video was great. Stuart has traditionally used a British green paint. Seen this engine in red and blue. But I like the color and surface of the raw iron. The natural color is obtained thru steel shot blast. Your slag blast gives it a bit more grey but not bad. I wonder if there is some kind of flat clear top coat that will preserve the color of the iron but protect the iron like paint. I love the look of your PM engine. It’s different and very cool looking.
There is a ton of really good info in this video. The refresher on deep drilled holes is excellent. This just goes to show the quality of work that can be achieved by taking the time to fixture correctly. What's the phrase? Autograph your work with excellence? I'm going to start using that at work. As for the finish - that steam chest is far too pretty to blast the outside, although I do understand the desire to blend it in.
Joe, I need a little help with feeds and speeds. Particularly things like the boring operation on the cylinder. Could you comment on those while you are narrating, please. I was able to acquire a beautiful Wells Index 847 and send the toy Precision Matthews to a new home, finally be able to make accurate parts! Please keep these awesome videos coming, thank you so much.
I'd prefer a voice-over explaining something about what you're working on/doing rather than music. As for the chest you should invent a miniature needle scaler to texture the surface.I like the results I've gotten on larger pieces with a full size scaler.
I would never have thought to use a parallel through the cavity like that. Because there's no way I could file the insides straight and parallel enough for it to be viable!
Pouring rain here too, other side of the pond. That is easily one of the most beautifully over engineered and fantastically effective fixtures I've ever seen and the part turned out great. I kinda like the satin finish next to the cast surface. Agreed on the 104 re drill, needs to sit flush and that shop gem for the out of flute chips was great. Have to say you gave me a chuckle, sounding like you were breaking out in hives from the vernier set to metric. :D Keep well, Joe. As always, a pleasure watching you work through the challenges. Cheers Edit: Agree with everybody saying no to music but I reckon more than a few of us would like to see you stand on one leg and do some dixie like you teased. 1:04 :D Edit 2: Digital caliper - not vernier... coz, like how would you "set" a vernier from metric to imperial and back? I know what I meant. :)
@@bwyseymail Terminology. I stand corrected. We call the whole thing a vernier colloquially. I wasn't sure what you meant and a quick google search showed me the vernier is the printed callibrated bit. Live 'n learn eh? Cheers
started watching this channel about a year ago and according to my book keeper i spend ZAR5 mill (USD250k) already on machinery and tools. I have made ZAR2000 (USD100) profit thus far 😄. An epic bargain really!!! thank the Lord I have a day job!!!
I would leave the machined surfaces; I think it looks good and if it's covered anyway it won't matter. Also, could you ream those mounting stud through holes to get a little wiggle room? Maybe take them out another thou? Thanks for another great video Joe. I'm enjoying this immensely - as usual!
Making that fixture shifted much of the cost of a possible mistake from the metal of the steam chests to the cheaper and more easily replaceable fixture. Once you had the fixture made, then the machining on the steam chests was much less liable to go wrong. Great way to shift the risk towards the discardable fixture. You keep teaching and inspiring me.
No music
Fantastic as usual JP,
one thing I don’t understand, there are over 1000 views but only 263 likes???? COME ON PEOPLE SHOW SOME RESPECT TO THIS VERY TALENTED MAN AND HIS TIME!!!
Tape the needed surfaces and blast it. Amazing fixtures and precision as usual Joe.
Silence on sped up portions is just fine. Love that fixture - way to go :)
Great seeing this all come together - nice work again Joe.
2:10 definitely prefer the silence to music. Even the sped up sounds of traffic on the 138 is better, and has become a signature feature of the channel.
That would be great. I have to figure out how to record that.
No music, ever. One of the reasons your videos are so much more earnest and candid are the absence of cheesy production tricks. Love you and always will, Joe!
Thanks for the feedback.
No blaring music Please... Thanks 👍👌
Agree. No music, just make it sound lika a bad commercial for the local plumber.
The dancing blueprints/parts made me chuckle.
Agree with the no music recommendations.
Neat fixture! Like the tip with the aluminum block to keep the drill on track. There were really valuable machining tips in virtually every segment , Awesome!
Mr crispins music always makes me smile when he goes fast forward, alternatively some gangster rap with lots of swearing is an option
Mr Pie you are a master of precision, an ingenious master of problem solving and an excellent teacher. Thank you so much.
Thank you. My pleasure.
No music required thanks Joe
work holding is an ART in its self
This is the difference between a machine operator and a "MACHINEST".
Silence is Golden.
If I keep watching these, I’m going to have to start buying my aluminum wholesale. Joe’s the fixture king!
Good lord Joe, this is why we come here. To see the impossible become possible albeit by making a Rube Goldberg machine to accomplish it. Yes blast the sides me thinks.
Great work as usual Joe. I know you are the god of imperial. I have to say, I started my career here in Australia, in imperial, and since we converted to metric in the 70's, i find it hard to think any other way, especially when you have a piece of material and need to mark it into x number of egual sections.

This jig is more complex and costly than the part itself. I think a new part, from scratch it will be easier to make. But then we loose all the challenge, and an amazing jig. Great video!
Thought he made a reasonabely simple job over complicated .. especially the jig
The challenge was designing and making the jig. I would not have conceived it.
I'm not complaining for anything, the fixture is absolutely great. For projects like this, cost and complexity comes last in priority list.
I like the sounds of the cars blasting buy outside, really not kidding.
Joe, that fixture is superb. Thanks for another very instructive/enjoyable video on this build.
Awesome fixture. I vote for a texture finish.
Yes to blasting, no to music [not needed and often distracting on a teaching platform- this from someone who loves music]
The metric system. Used by 63/64th of the world since 1760. Glad we're independent. Nice work Joe. Loving this series. No music please.
O M G Joe! What a fixture! Lol 😂 You can rent that out. Very impressed
Very nice job,that fixture was a piece of magic,others use a 4 jaw chuck,and a lot of hand work. Like your explainations more great info for us non trained amature machinists.

I also got a 4 flute 5/16 (8 mm)in the mill, but special for aluminium!
You did well in millimeters for quite some time! I take my hat off! (Joking)
Time 13:24. Surely a beauty. In what bin did You find it?....... Joking!
Time 14:08. What the hack? Your bins are magical....
Old fashioned 4 jaw adjusting not good enough?
Time 18:00, and later. The gain of the audio dropped to barely possible to follow.
As always, the work of a master. Excellent footage, editing and presentation.
Am so glad you survived the Metric experience.

Yes blast the parts so they match the cast surface. Great fixture design. Thanks for another great video!
Joe, it is a real engine, just a small one! Great video again Joe and thanks very much. Regards from Wales.
Silence better than music!
Doctorate level fixturing right there! Actually I know plenty of people with fancy degrees that do not approach your skill level.
I love hearing the sound of work.
I really loved that fixture to hold the steam chest. Can see that will make life much easier in doing lathework on items like those. Certainly an item i intend to make for an anticipated project near future. Thanx for that shop gem. The overall video was also a great learning experience
I am here for the machining not for music!
Hard to say, that part is a fine looking piece as is. Great demonstration of a dedicated fixture, enjoyed very much, stay cool Joe!
Silence is Golden!
Enjoying this series a lot!
Thanks for sharing 🇨🇦
Definitely music for the silent portion. Great job as usual.
Very good video Mr Joe Pie..thanks for your time

With Biden inflation it should be a dollar by now!
That model is coming along & looking great, i do love the great shop gems..
Dunno how, but the steam doesn't care what measurement system was used - if it fits right it is right and it works!
I like the contrast between the cast & the machined surface, even though no one will see it. To me it's like seeing Aluminum heads on an Iron block. I'm not a machinist, but I know what I like.
Another great video, Joe. As a woodworker your techniques improve my game.
Beautiful detail work again.Congratulations on the rain.Badly needed here in Spain.Thank you.
The music of the shop would be great. The sounds of the machines make the video. Even the sound of filing is good.
More great jigs Joe. Your vidoes have helped so much.
Thanks again for sharing your time and talents with us. Please keep the videos coming.
The fixture part was a work of art by it's self. I may be just a hobbyist, but great to put into the old memory bank for sure, Thx again for filing and sharing Joe.
Hi Bear. Thanks for stopping by.
Unbelievably awesome Joe!
no music, valve goes other way round, you must have a new kit, I'm sure the bosses were offset slightly when I built mine. keep chest and cover machined with slight polish. love the jig. great vid Joe
Joe I would most likely make a small fixture with a guide bushing to do that drilling in the rectangular area so you don't allow the drills to wander.
Very nice work on todays parts.
Yep, you said it.... great fixture, Mr Pie.....!
The jig for this is so over my skill level, but so inspirational! Really enjoy your videos, (don't need the music, but I can always turn it off.)

Greetings Chuck. Thanks for stopping by.
Silence is Golden......The Tremeloes. Or as Cheech and Chong would say: "We don't need no stinking music"
The choice is yours, I'll vote for silence
love all these fixtures joe. they could be videos in themselves- not only the machining but the thought process behind them.
I agree. I don't usually record that side of things.
Great fixturing, no music please.
Great looking part, Joe! Yep...I'm flooded too! Lol.
Definitely an excessive jig but you are showing your great skills. Blast it for sure Joe!
The jig was worth the effort.
Blasted - yes, so it matches the rest. It stands out but as you always say - with your model, do as you want.
Hey Joe, I was thinking about your valve last night. The D-slide valve is asymmetric with a thick wall and a thin wall enclosing the exhaust chamber. The thin walls need to run parallel to the valve rod and axis of articulation. The thick walls ultimately determine both your steam lap and exhaust lap as they cover and uncover the port features. For example, when the valve fully covers one of the steam ports, the covered steam port is presented to the exhaust port. The dimension between the edge of the valve and the opening of the exhaust port is your exhaust lap. Likewise, the edge dimension from the OD of the valve body to the opening of one of the steam ports is your steam lap.

Joe, you have been quietly tried and found guilty of being a fixture freak! I suspect you enjoy devising and making your fixtures AT LEAST as much as making the model itself - and I, for one, really envy you for that. I lack the patience to follow in your footsteps, unfortunately.
first impression as the block slid down the studs into place... should be blasted to match.
It'll only take a few minutes but the matching finish will please the eye 👁
Thank you so much for another great video of a very important part of this build please sandblast part
I never thought of the web on a bit doing that, nice tip. I would blast the surface so any exposed parts match closer to the rough casting appearance plus if you run a larger bit through it would help conceal the slight misalignment, if any, when it is bolted up.
No music please, nothing against it but when I am watching instructional video's I prefer silence rather than music, I figure if I want to listen to music I can bring up what type of music I prefer listening to as well.
I vote to blast the steam chest. The model is looking good, and that fixture is a work of art ... or an art of work ... ehhh, it's nifty!
You should blast that surface in my opinion!
Mr Pie music yes
Steam Chests leave it machend ,It shows your great work!
Ihat is a real engine,
it may be small but it is a real engine..
In Denver we have had 3 days of rain.!
Brilliant as usual. That fixture was a lesson in magic. 🧙♂
The sacrificial slug in the part to keep the drill aligned is genius!
Yes, blast it with both parts together. It’ll make a seamless appearance.
looking good no music
Hey Joe!!!! Great video again! I don’t care if you want music or not. You decide. The Bridport Foundry video was great. Stuart has traditionally used a British green paint. Seen this engine in red and blue. But I like the color and surface of the raw iron. The natural color is obtained thru steel shot blast. Your slag blast gives it a bit more grey but not bad. I wonder if there is some kind of flat clear top coat that will preserve the color of the iron but protect the iron like paint. I love the look of your PM engine. It’s different and very cool looking.
Clear acrylic paint would provide the rust resistant surface, matte is available to reduce the shine.
02:10 no music Joe 😁, maybe a voice over? And a yes for blasting the sides of the valve house/steam chest.
No music, thank you
There is a ton of really good info in this video. The refresher on deep drilled holes is excellent. This just goes to show the quality of work that can be achieved by taking the time to fixture correctly. What's the phrase? Autograph your work with excellence? I'm going to start using that at work. As for the finish - that steam chest is far too pretty to blast the outside, although I do understand the desire to blend it in.
I think you should blast the outside surface, it would look nicer. Thank you for uploading Joe. 👍👍
Silent is good for me Joe. Blast the outside. Thanks
Joe, I need a little help with feeds and speeds. Particularly things like the boring operation on the cylinder. Could you comment on those while you are narrating, please. I was able to acquire a beautiful Wells Index 847 and send the toy Precision Matthews to a new home, finally be able to make accurate parts! Please keep these awesome videos coming, thank you so much.
Excellent description. Thanks man. (Flat out filing sound, perhaps!)
Like the fixture! Blast the sides - I think it would look better..
I'd prefer a voice-over explaining something about what you're working on/doing rather than music. As for the chest you should invent a miniature needle scaler to texture the surface.I like the results I've gotten on larger pieces with a full size scaler.
I would never have thought to use a parallel through the cavity like that. Because there's no way I could file the insides straight and parallel enough for it to be viable!

Have to say you gave me a chuckle, sounding like you were breaking out in hives from the vernier set to metric. :D
Keep well, Joe. As always, a pleasure watching you work through the challenges. Cheers
Edit: Agree with everybody saying no to music but I reckon more than a few of us would like to see you stand on one leg and do some dixie like you teased. 1:04 :D
Edit 2: Digital caliper - not vernier... coz, like how would you "set" a vernier from metric to imperial and back? I know what I meant. :)
Vernier? That digital caliper doesn't have a vernier.
@@bwyseymail Terminology. I stand corrected. We call the whole thing a vernier colloquially. I wasn't sure what you meant and a quick google search showed me the vernier is the printed callibrated bit. Live 'n learn eh? Cheers

Brilliant fixture for this part.
Thanks. It worked well.
I have learned so much from you thank you.
You're welcome.
nicely done Joe. very very nice
"The Girl from Ipanema" in the cheesiest elevator form would work great!
I like it.
no music
When you switched to metric I began to have a panic attack and had to look away...😉😉
I would leave the machined surfaces; I think it looks good and if it's covered anyway it won't matter. Also, could you ream those mounting stud through holes to get a little wiggle room? Maybe take them out another thou?
Thanks for another great video Joe. I'm enjoying this immensely - as usual!
Amazing.
