Nothing like watching an expert machinist show off and make me feel about the size of a thimble--LOL Great to see you back and working in your brand new nicely remodeled machine shop-!
We need more young engineers like you so that model engineering doesn’t disappear. All the amazing models you see at engineering shows are made by true craftsman on manual machines. Unfortunately the modern apprenticeships are based on cnc machining so the skills of the past are not used as much. A lot of young engineers today wouldn’t have a clue if you give them a block of metal and asked them to make something on a manual machine. Operating a cnc machine doesn’t require many skills and are too expensive for home use. All the amazing locomotives you see today will end up in museums or bought by collectors. I’m lucky enough to still make parts for the rolls Royce trent 900 engine on a manual machine. Let’s hope you can encourage more young people to take up model engineering before it disappears.
MrCrispin, no I work for a subcontracting firm making parts for all military aircraft and have made a lot of parts for rolls Royce. A lot of the parts were used on the RB211 engine but now it’s the Trent engine. Keep up the good work and let’s hope you can encourage more to take up the hobby.
Great to see you back, how anyone can give this a thumbs down, is beyond me, so, like you, I will ignore them. Thank you for sharing your skills with details on how to achieve the final results. Ex Leeds-down under in Tasmania. 👍👍👍😁🇬🇧🇦🇺🔭
Having a lathe with a tee slotted cross slide and boring between centers is seldom seen today. G.H. Thomas's writings convinced me of how important that feature really is when looking for my last lathe. A few years wait to see those cylinders to this point was well worth it. And yes there was a great deal of work and thought put into them.
So good to see these cylinders again - indeed, quite some time since seeing your early videos. These really are a work of art. Great video and good to see your methods. :)
Your steam water drains could have been off of botyom center as you did but instead of having to make a compound drill, a small shallow slot in the bore from the bottom of the bore just over to the drain position would have also worked. I've planned hundreds of compound passages in hydraulic valve bodies which seemed possible but became and twister for the machinist. Your completeness for taking enough time for setup accuracy is commended.
Welcome back Young fellow, its great to see you back at it! excellent content and well explained. i do hope it won,t be years before the next video, keep up the good work and thanks for sharing it is appreciated.
I go to our Workshop every day. I just added another milling machine. 3 now. Go well with my 7 lathes... Yes a workshop extension is planned for the 2 Raglans and Progress drill. Our self isolation away from the world. All 3 are being restored to almost new condition. Love David and Lily.
Good to see you back with model Loco videos. Nice job on the machined from solid cylinders, I can appreciate the work involved, I've made two sets of cylinders for steam locos and one for a Fowler ploughing engine, all from the solid.
Wow, nothing short of wow. Amazing work done here. I would bet that the original steam engines did not have tolerances as tight as you have created here. Can't wait till the next one.
22:29 You appear to have an oil splash guard on the headstock spindle bearing. If that's the case, this suggests the drip-feed oiler is being opened too far. We didn't have an oil splash issue - unless it's down to grade of oil being used.
Hay, welcome back buddy, I no it’s been a long time but pursuing your career is Number one priority, and building your well thought out workshop also takes time, good things come to those who wait my friend and your videos are well worth the wait, thank you for Sharing your knowledge, it’s priceless, keep them coming mate, Mark from Redcar 👍🏻😉
Great video! I really liked the way you worked the hole for the cylinder cock around the stud hole. Personally, I have never had to do anything like that. (I hope you recognize my self depreciating sarcasm) I have screwed up more projects than you can imagine and in the few cases I have managed to salvage them, they usually look like a patched up, re-worked bollocks job...readily apparent, as to what has happened, to all who see it. This alteration looks as though it was planned this way from the start. Brilliant save! Your cylinder blocks look like pieces of sculpture and your ingenuity restores my hope for the future of civilization. Well done and keep up the good work.
A brilliant job the Mr Crispin, well thought out at every stage and only one mistake, damn that Autocad!And excellently executed. Your description is very well thought out and presented excellently. You are a very good teacher. You know the tips and tricks of a man much older than your tender years, a Rolls-Royce apprenticeship certainly gave you a head start in the world coupled with your obvious enthusiasm for the subject of engineering. My marks out of 10 for this series of 8 videos? Eleven point five!!
From France : Back Again!!! I'm no machinist at all (Carpenter) but I would LOVE to see this loco running. Take your time... I don't want you to show everything that you do, but I would like you to EXPLAIN any choice you make... Thank you very much.
Thank you for taking the time and trouble to make these videos Mr. Crispin. You make most of the other RUclips machinists look like they are working with an axe and a sledgehammer in the dark.
Yes, welcome back. Perhaps you addressed this in a prior video, but why not shrink fit the liner in place if you still need to finish bore. There are some great Loctite products out there, but...
Thank you for all your work. It is an education! Question: will Loctite survive the high temperature of overheated steam? I usually use hot air gun to break a Loctite bond, and steam can be 250 celsius easily if overheated. Do you have a special Loctite type or expect only low temperature of the steam? (And I am going to repair my Myford Super7 - I thought it is not good enough for the work I do, but apparently the problem is somewhere else - first me and second I have axial play in the spindel with causes a lot of chatter in higher than minimal load and cut...)
Respect for your skill Crispin I spent 41yrs as an engineer in Aerospace industry 20 on manuals and 21 on cnc and once for RR the real scary part there is no one to take over any more not enough investment in the industry, and most of the work went to China they must be regretting now I hope.. Well done sir have you finished done a loco yet???
Hmm, that compound angle drilling was made very easy by having a quill ! With a lack of quill I guess I could do similar as per your earlier thread tapping but that'd mean driving the drill by hand. Hmm, this is getting messy! I guess I'm just going to have to mount the work at the angle and drill straight !
Registering for a medal, tea and crumpets on standby and waiting for the ceremony. Good to see you back, I've been waiting for this! What's the next job for the engine, wheels and conrods?
MrCrispin, I really love your new shop! Now that you've got a Deckel and a Bridgeport, could you share some thoughts on bot machines? Is the deckel worth it for the home model engineer? What about versatility, ease of set ups, etc...?
Rather than drill those holes at the awkward angles, couldn't you have moved the low points of the cylinders by milling small channels (like you did for the steam ports)? Also, because the centre-line of the cylinder bore slopes down, the front drain cock will not be at the exact low point anyway. The swirling steam and moving piston would probably blow 99% of the condensate out, even without any extra channels. What do you think?
Hi, Yes you could mill channels in and then drill the holes in at a plain angle although that would still have been on the fiddly side. Less working out though I guess. Also milling at an angle in to a radial surface gives a curved slot profile when considered from a top view, you would have to be careful it didn't add too much width to the shape. As for the condensate making its way out due to steam pressure yes you are probably right although when the piston is at its full forward position it will have effectively moved any water right up to the hole. Cheers
Superb work. looking forward to the 2 videos mentioned as well. The mill you used most in the video, is it a Deckel or Alexander, either way I have a question about the threads on the collets please. Many thanks William
Sorry my bad, must learn to read!! its a Deckel mill, if possible can you give me the dimensions for the collets, I know alaexander machines are clones of deckels. and having a 2cg D bit grinder with one original collet the threads are the same diameter as the body on the collet. However i picked up a load of collets last year which fit the D bit grinder perfectly but the thread diameter is smaller than the body. But both threads are the same tpi (21 off the top of my head) so any insights wold be much appreciated, Thanks William
@@MrCrispinEnterprises Super much appreciated, I've just eyed up a thread pitch gauge to said collets, as far as I can tell not a "standard" imperial TPI (appears in between 20 and 22 TPI) however a metric 2.1mm pitch seems to line up. Just gotta work out how to cut what ever thread on the quick change myford box! Bit of jiggery pokery should get me there I hope.
'if you watched all 8 parts of this series" you probably finished college, bought a house, got married, and now are gray......lol slow and steady wins the race.

Great video, Ive watched it from the beginning. Im in awe at your ingenuity and skill!
LOVED WATCHING THE CYLINDER BLOCK SERIES. GREAT JOB !
Always a pleasure. Thanks for the extra effort to record and produce the video.
Top-Content Mr. Crispin....first class work
Looks younger than me but sounds like my Grandad! Amazing!
Cool project!
I’ve enjoyed all 8 parts. Thanks!

In the end of times there will be a battle of precision between Mr. Crispin and Stefan. lol.
Stefan has allot more experience than I do!
My money is on the Crisp Meister
They´re both excellent
Thanks for also taking the time to include the complex methods in the separate videos, I look forward to watching them when they are up

It's great to see you back and working on the B1. Your video's are just what we need in this time of Lock-Down for us old ones. Thank you very much.
I especially enjoyed the line boring section referring to concentricity constants. Thanks for sharing your methods... Fred
Surface Finish Detector! Great video as usual. Many thanks, Dean.
An impressive display of machining.
Good Lord you are doing some complicated work ! I love it .
A beautiful bit of machine work, bravo!
This locomotive will look great when completed.....thanks for sharing......

Very good workman ship there. Time, patience and *maths* are the virtues of a proper engineer.
Hi 👋🏻 Mr Crispin 🤠 Excellent machining 👍🏻
I always learn something from your videos. Thanks for doing them.
So glad you're back!!!!
Full throttle come back!!! Had to adjust my brain to the real machining again! Watching it again, and all the old ones too.
Good too see you back in action

Thanks for explaining so well these complex operations
Glad to see your back at it. You and Stefan clearly are mastesr of the art of machining. Always enjoyed your work.
Recently found your channel, very much enjoy your style of videos, excellent work
Great to see the project moving again
Wow ! glad to see you’re back, makes me want to rewatch all of the videos of the series from the past, sure hope to see more from you in the future.
well done I learned a lot All the best to you from John in Texas
Thank you very much Mr Crispin, you do make it all look very easy. How about a tour of the new shop and machines...........
Great to see you back Mr Crispln
Good to see you again Sir!
Excellent video!! I'm so glad you're back!!!
glad to see you back on this project. welcome back lol cheers from bison workshop
Thanks for the video. Nice to have you back.

Great work, looking forward to the future videos. You must have the quietest lathe I have ever heard.

Wonderful work always interesting thanks for sharing 👍
I saw your Instagram post earlier today, and now a video. It does not get any better than this!
Had a look for him but couldn't find him, not under Mr Crispin anyway. What name should i be looking for?
It's mr_crispin but there's not much engineering on there yet.
@@MrCrispinEnterprises that's why i thought I couldn't find it.
outstanding.... perfect timing!!!
Waited so long for this. Thanks MrCrispin!
Yes, welcome back. Perhaps you addressed this in a prior video, but why not shrink fit the liner in place if you still need to finish bore. There are some great Loctite products out there, but...
I'll probably discuss this in a conclusion video. It's one or the other really.
Excellent presentation .
19:36 How did you set the cutting tool to the correct position considering you've just shortened it with the stone ?
Fantastic work!
Pleased your back, very interesting.

Only about halfway there with it! Thanks very much

Brilliant to see you back Crispin! Far fetched question but any ETA on when youll finish the loco??
When its done I am sure it will be finished.
Yes I do have a date. It was about 3 years ago
amazing video - thank you!
Awesome ! Nice save with the drain cock holes !
Worth watching twice.
@MrCrispin you mention a "French key" to secure the liner. I've not come across this expression before, could you elaborate please?
Just a grub screw positioned such that it locks a component in position.
