Joe, that was an amazing journey and has to be the best finished D10V I have ever seen. As I said when I sent you the kit I have seen lots of 10Vs built on RUclips but as far as I know nobody has built the twin cylinder D10V. As usual museum quality build but with lots of tips and novel methods thrown in for good measure. I have built one and wish mine had been to that standard. The pleasure in your voice as you built it proved sending it to you was a good move and I certainly got as much pleasure watching the progress as you appeared to from constructing it. A fantastic job and the usual Joe Pie quality. Thank you for the pleasure the video series bought me and made sending the kit a good move. Keep safe and healthy. Steve Bright BRight Model Engineering
Thank you for sending it to Joe. I greatly appreciate your generosity which allowed this content to be made. I think it's safe to say that many others appreciate it too.
From Kurtis at CEE making really big things to Joe Pie making really small things, my Fridays are complete. Thank you Mr Pie for your skills and wisdom.
Ditto of the previous gentleman, "Excellent series and well done sir! Thank you!" I love that you referenced Keith Appleton. After him, you maybe my second best "grandfather" figure, he does have his wonderful nighttime storybook accent after all.
Beautiful Job Joe, I used to build models like this but in 2013 I lost everything in the Black Forest CO wildfire and at age 60 didn’t have the heart to start replacing a lifetime of tools. I thoroughly enjoyed watching you work, you are an artist in your profession
The way it runs so slowly and sounds so regular is a big part of my enjoyment. The way the parts were machined and the logical train of thought to make sure it’s accurate is just wonderful to watch. There can’t be too many built as well as this.
You definitely need to include your makers mark and the date on this engine. A little artwork on the steam chest covers would be my choice. Well Done Joe! I enjoyed watching from start to finish!
Thank you Joe for sharing the adventure of building this engine with the world. Likely just a coincident, Union Pacific Bigboy 4014 pushed a stalled freight train over Blair Hill in Blair Nebraska yesterday.
Joe my friend called me after rebuilding his 1905 White Steam Car engine. I heard it run on air over the phone I think I was first one to hear it after him. Black Bess his 1905 White took first in 2014 Concour De Elegance. You should have a permanent grin after building that! A true Masterpiece you have built!
Absolutely beautiful work. There are much more efficient machines now days but those old devils would run forever with very little maintenance. I worked over 40 years in a steam power plant where we had a few reciprocating pumps, turbine driven pumps and steam turbine generators. Good to see the tradition carried on. Thanks Joe.
That’s a work of art. I’d love to have that sitting on my place chuffing away. But I’m in awe of your machining skills which have made this unit possible.
My dad put together a single-cylinder version of this model many years ago prior to his passing. I keep it on my desk as a nice reminder of him. Interesting seeing this model come together.
This series of videos has taught me so many tricks and clever ways to use the tools at hand. Great close-up camera work and audio capture throughout the series. Thanks for investing your time to make valuable videos like this, very helpful.
Few things on RUclips make me smile. This one did... Well done! Would love to see a steam pressure vessel build to power this and maybe even drive some other pieces using the traditional methods of a steam powered shop.
This, Stuart D-10 steam engine would be the BEST built of this model ever done.. The craftsmanship & though you show to the process leaves me gobsmacked ... LOVE IT LOVE IT LOVE IT 👌🏻👏🏻👍🏻
Joe-What is even more impressive( as if this build wasn't) was YOU built a video library for all those who might want to attempt the project. So Thankful you spent the time shooting editing and sharing this project with all of US!
So many helpful tips showcased during the series, the approach, order of operations and the finished project speak for themselves. Great build and enjoyed every minute.
Joe, you are a joy to watch! Your passion and years of knowledge and wisdom come out. Just a pleasure to watch you performing your craft and trade. And watching this series has been a treat. I could sit and watch this model run all day as I've watched this series from beginning to end, with the ups and downs and corrections along the way. From one tradesman (I'm a third generation Locksmith) to another (you are a Mechinest) well done my friend! Can't wait for the next project you film
Well now, What a great way to celibrate a birtday my friend. Looking back on all the pieces you have made this one in my eyes is the most intricate. Just plain wonderful. Well done.
Joe, of all the “machining”channels I subscribe to, yours consistently is the most enjoyable, entertaining, and informative! I can’t wait to see what your next project will be!
Wonderful videos. Lovely engineering. When it was running, I didnt realise the phone getting closer, until it hit my nose, I was so enjoying the sound and motion of parts. Surprised at the lack of vibrations. CREDIT where its due, THANKS Joe.
Good morning Joe, I note the "exposed pin" watchers won the day, I shall submit to the popular opinion as it all looks excellent. On the timing of the steam admission and exhaust there are lots of very good old books on this subject, once set up at 90 degrees the fine adjustment is called Lap and lead, most vertical engines have a little extra lead to compensate the inertia on the down stroke. Thanks for the build. Ray.
Very nice! Sounds pretty good too! You mentioned Keith Appleton and my thought was at this stage of first running, his engine would be dripping oil everywhere.
Thanks for all the wonderful episodes and the beautiful videos... What an amazing project... What an amazing job explaining all the do and don't to help all the folks who might give this project a try ... As for me... I am to old and my hands are too Shakey for all the small parts .. but that said I thoroughly enjoyed watching a true professional do an absolutely amazing and detailed job... I truly can't possibly thank you enough for an outstanding video series .... Thanks for sharing ... Please stay safe and well ...
Brilliant engineering Joe... and kudos for mentioning Keith A. He's a steam engine guru as well as being a great musician, film maker and recording engineer.
WA HOO !! I’m sure my smile was as big as yours watching this come together and run . Can’t tell you how much i appreciate all your effort in not only building this to perfection but also taking all of us along for the ride . Thanks again
So old construction but still so amazing to se and hear it running.Indeed a very very beautifully job you have done.Cant wait to see what next would be!
This series has been an absolute pleasure to watch & the final build video is just awesome to see it finally all together & running. The series of builds on the miniature machines that you have built is a testament to your skills & training , keep up the great work. So what is going to be your next build?
Congratulations! I'm happy it's finished and running so well and sad the series is over. Hope you have another series project like this in the wings. Watching your whole process is just the best. You are a great teacher.
Beautiful!!! I'm impressed with how quiet it is. Also, thank you for the shot of all the disassembled finished pieces. That was a reminder to me of how much work went into this project. Hope you got far more satisfaction than I did just watching the final assembly. You sir, earned it.
Joe thats a beautiful engine. My homemade 2 cylinder Empire steam engine is on here. I milled frames and silver soldered together. Watching your vids is helping me greatly. I think you set the bar on this one!
Great build! I think it would be neat to put on clear polycarbonate head and valve covers so you can see the pistons and valves working! Just a thought. Thanks for sharing the whole process. I enjoyed the journey!
Great result from a very enjoyable vicarious build Joe. Glad you’ve found Keith Appleton’s videos - he freely admits he’s not an ‘engineer’ but what that chap doesn’t know about repairing steam engines and making them run isn’t frankly worth worrying about. One point Keith regularly makes is that slot-headed grub screws (like you have in your flywheel) regularly shear half the head off in normal use making them a nightmare to un-loosen or adjust - it would be well worth swapping to a more modern hex grub screw for reliability and strength. Thank you again for another fantastic build Joe, looking forward to whatever is next from your workshop. Cheers, Nick
Wow !! Joe it’s the best D10 I have ever seen built , the quality, precision, and care in making this steam engine was only over taken by your great talent and experience for perfection . Your videos and Comments have made each build exciting entertaining and amazing, thank you once again for your time ,knowledge and Patience and all your videos, looking forward to your next adventure. Thanks Mark !
Thank you Joe for an outstanding build, it’s such a pleasure to see how you work and I’m learning every time. Hope you’ve got something new to make 👍. Best regards Andy. From the UK.
What a piece of art……that is just fantastic Joe Pie, your right, it is hypnotic, you can watch that machine all day… Thank you so much for having this great website and your knowledge of machines. Again thank you, Mike
Thank you Joe for another great build! Honestly you are amazing at how easy it appears these projects are for you and how accurate they turn out. . Just goes to show your knowledge and expertise. And your customers are lucky to have you doing their work. Gatlin gun next?
Nice work Joe. I have the same engine but I got it pre machined. That was in the mid seventies. I still haven't got round to fitting the reversing gear yet, dont want to rush things. Cheers
Steam engines are magical. My father made a twin-cylinder engine from scratch. ⅜” bore and stoke. It originally started as a single cylinder engine and on that side he used mainly a file and a drill press to make it. All of the tiny hex nuts were filed out by hand. Runs like clockwork.
That is a super little engine, I can quite understand how happy you must be. Thank you for another excellent model build series, they've all been mine of useful information!
Joe,
that was an amazing journey and has to be the best finished D10V I have ever seen.

Thank you for the most gracious gift Steve. I had a great time building it. Stay well.
Thank you for sending it to Joe. I greatly appreciate your generosity which allowed this content to be made. I think it's safe to say that many others appreciate it too.
Sir Thanks for sending Joe the kit. Class move for sure.
Hey bud. How appropreate post to put up today. Yer a good man Joe !
@@joepie221 How appropriate to post this again and on this day. May he RIP for all his days in memory. You're never truly dead untill forgotten about.
From Kurtis at CEE making really big things to Joe Pie making really small things, my Fridays are complete. Thank you Mr Pie for your skills and wisdom.
I second that!
Not only smooth running but a feast for the eyes as well. Very well done Joe. You deserve to be proud of this project.
Ditto of the previous gentleman, "Excellent series and well done sir! Thank you!"
I love that you referenced Keith Appleton. After him, you maybe my second best "grandfather" figure, he does have his wonderful nighttime storybook accent after all.
I may hire him to narrate my videos. :) His voice reminds me of when my kids watched Thomas the Tank.
What a joy it is to see this one completed and running SILKY SMOOTH. Great build series. Looking forward to the next one!
Beautiful Job Joe, I used to build models like this but in 2013 I lost everything in the Black Forest CO wildfire and at age 60 didn’t have the heart to start replacing a lifetime of tools. I thoroughly enjoyed watching you work, you are an artist in your profession

Thanks. This engine came out nice. I have to do the reverse gear setup on it now.
You definitely need to include your makers mark and the date on this engine. A little artwork on the steam chest covers would be my choice. Well Done Joe! I enjoyed watching from start to finish!
Thank you Joe for sharing the adventure of building this engine with the world.
Likely just a coincident, Union Pacific Bigboy 4014 pushed a stalled freight train over Blair Hill in Blair Nebraska yesterday.
I think I speak for most when I say, we are grateful to watch you make this.
Joe my friend called me after rebuilding his 1905 White Steam Car engine. I heard it run on air over the phone I think I was first one to hear it after him. Black Bess his 1905 White took first in 2014 Concour De Elegance. You should have a permanent grin after building that! A true Masterpiece you have built!
First at the Concours De Elegance is a big deal. Wow.
Absolutely beautiful work. There are much more efficient machines now days but those old devils would run forever with very little maintenance. I worked over 40 years in a steam power plant where we had a few reciprocating pumps, turbine driven pumps and steam turbine generators. Good to see the tradition carried on. Thanks Joe.
Congratulations and thank you for a wonderful series which will be a classic reference for all engine builders for years to come.
They don't come any better built, a pleasure to behold.
That’s a work of art.
I’d love to have that sitting on my place chuffing away.
But I’m in awe of your machining skills which have made this unit possible.
It's beautiful. I have not owned a TV now for many years, I'll never go back. Thank you Joe Pie.
My dad put together a single-cylinder version of this model many years ago prior to his passing. I keep it on my desk as a nice reminder of him. Interesting seeing this model come together.
Thats a nice token to remind you of your Dad.
This series of videos has taught me so many tricks and clever ways to use the tools at hand. Great close-up camera work and audio capture throughout the series. Thanks for investing your time to make valuable videos like this, very helpful.
I'm glad thats your take away from these.
This is THE most precisely machined miniature engine I have ever seen; even the inside is machined smooth. Great job, Joe.
Thanks 👍
Few things on RUclips make me smile. This one did... Well done! Would love to see a steam pressure vessel build to power this and maybe even drive some other pieces using the traditional methods of a steam powered shop.
This, Stuart D-10 steam engine would be the BEST built of this model ever done.. The craftsmanship & though you show to the process leaves me gobsmacked ... LOVE IT LOVE IT LOVE IT 👌🏻👏🏻👍🏻
Superb. Hopefully someone at Stuart will see this series of masterclass build methods. Who knows, they may even send more kits.
I would welcome more Stuart kits. This was tedious, but fun.
I'm with you, I could watch it all day, too! Thanks for sharing the project.
That is such a treat to watch run in low RPM
You are not the only one with a big smile 🙂
What a beauty. Excellent work!
Joe-What is even more impressive( as if this build wasn't) was YOU built a video library for all those who might want to attempt the project. So Thankful you spent the time shooting editing and sharing this project with all of US!
Next step........add reversing gear. Beautiful work sir. I thoroughly enjoyed this series.
So many helpful tips showcased during the series, the approach, order of operations and the finished project speak for themselves. Great build and enjoyed every minute.
That's a very smooth run. Really nice.
And if Keith Appelton doesn't know, I don't think anybody else does :)
Excellent job Joe, great workmanship and also great job you did with the tooling fixtures.
Thats an amazing machine! I could listen to that sound all day long. Thanks for doing that one.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Thanks for sharing another great build. Your attention to detail and precision is the best I've ever seen. You make small parts look easy.
Absolutely fantastic again. I watched all of the series and am in awe of the precision and clean cutting of all of the pieces.
Wonderful. Thanks
Joe, you are a joy to watch! Your passion and years of knowledge and wisdom come out. Just a pleasure to watch you performing your craft and trade. And watching this series has been a treat.

From one tradesman (I'm a third generation Locksmith) to another (you are a Mechinest) well done my friend! Can't wait for the next project you film
Thanks. The next project is still unknown.
Well now, What a great way to celibrate a birtday my friend. Looking back on all the pieces you have made this one in my eyes is the most intricate. Just plain wonderful. Well done.
Joe, what a great job, its a pleasure to see a craftsman at work,, thank you for enabling us all to see you at work ,, regards Frank 😊
Happy to do it Frank.
Joe, of all the “machining”channels I subscribe to, yours consistently is the most enjoyable, entertaining, and informative! I can’t wait to see what your next project will be!
It´works,it works.Amazing machine,Joe.Thank you.
Very nice little motor. WELL DONE , and thank you again for all the machining and fixturing tips and tricks !!
Wonderful videos. Lovely engineering.
When it was running, I didnt realise the phone getting closer, until it hit my nose, I was so enjoying the sound and motion of parts.
Surprised at the lack of vibrations.
CREDIT where its due, THANKS Joe.
Many thanks.
Beautiful build. Now go enjoy a couple more well deserved "Locktite dipping trays".😉
Good morning Joe, I note the "exposed pin" watchers won the day, I shall submit to the popular opinion as it all looks excellent. On the timing of the steam admission and exhaust there are lots of very good old books on this subject, once set up at 90 degrees the fine adjustment is called Lap and lead, most vertical engines have a little extra lead to compensate the inertia on the down stroke. Thanks for the build. Ray.
Very nice! Sounds pretty good too! You mentioned Keith Appleton and my thought was at this stage of first running, his engine would be dripping oil everywhere.
Beautiful Joe. Also, you proved once again concerning Stuart prints...trust but verify. 😊
Hey Joe, That is soooo cool. Congratulations on a great build and letting us join in. I have learned so much. Your craftmanship is amazing. Thank You
Thanks for all the wonderful episodes and the beautiful videos... What an amazing project... What an amazing job explaining all the do and don't to help all the folks who might give this project a try ... As for me... I am to old and my hands are too Shakey for all the small parts .. but that said I thoroughly enjoyed watching a true professional do an absolutely amazing and detailed job... I truly can't possibly thank you enough for an outstanding video series .... Thanks for sharing ... Please stay safe and well ...
Your creativity and skill as a machinist make for a beautiful engine...wish you could purchase it as a finished kit
Check at stuartmodels.com I believe they do sell pre-machined kits, but I'm not sure of the selection. www.stuartmodels.com/product/stuart-d10/
thank you ill check it out
Brilliant engineering Joe... and kudos for mentioning Keith A. He's a steam engine guru as well as being a great musician, film maker and recording engineer.
Overwhelming !!! Brings a tear to my eye !!! Absolutely beautiful !!! Thank you Joe.
Incredible! These are the best entertaining and educational videos on RUclips! Thank you for sharing with us.
WA HOO !! I’m sure my smile was as big as yours watching this come together and run . Can’t tell you how much i appreciate all your effort in not only building this to perfection but also taking all of us along for the ride . Thanks again
My pleasure.
What a joy it is to be completed successfully.
So old construction but still so amazing to se and hear it running.Indeed a very very beautifully job you have done.Cant wait to see what next would be!
I love the simplicity of the design.
This series has been an absolute pleasure to watch & the final build video is just awesome to see it finally all together & running.
The series of builds on the miniature machines that you have built is a testament to your skills & training , keep up the great work.
So what is going to be your next build?
It looks so smooth when it's running!
That’s awesome very nice to see it running. I enjoyed watching you do the machine work on those little parts.
Congratulations! I'm happy it's finished and running so well and sad the series is over. Hope you have another series project like this in the wings. Watching your whole process is just the best. You are a great teacher.
If someone is watching this and hasn't seen the building process, they have no idea what went into making this. Beautiful project.
Beautiful. I never would have believed it if I hadn't seen it myself perfect
Beautiful!!! I'm impressed with how quiet it is.
Also, thank you for the shot of all the disassembled finished pieces. That was a reminder to me of how much work went into this project.
Hope you got far more satisfaction than I did just watching the final assembly. You sir, earned it.
Nice job. It's been fun to follow along. Can't wait till the next project!
Joe thats a beautiful engine. My homemade 2 cylinder Empire steam engine is on here. I milled frames and silver soldered together. Watching your vids is helping me greatly. I think you set the bar on this one!
Thanks Joe the whole project was like reading beautiful poetry. Especially the ending. Thanks again well done.
Wonderful, another great journey comes to an end. I enjoyed every moment, and learned a lot. Thank you sir!
Great build! I think it would be neat to put on clear polycarbonate head and valve covers so you can see the pistons and valves working! Just a thought. Thanks for sharing the whole process. I enjoyed the journey!
Great build and review, thanks you for the many shop gems and mentorship as you progressed in the build
Well done Sir. Thank You for the time and efforts to share this with us.
It lives! Wonderful job Joe and thanks for taking us along for the ride.

100% worth it following this build. I've learned several things about setups and ideas on machining. Thanks a million Joe!!!
You bet.
Your a amazing craftsman. Please keep the videos coming. I have learned so much from you. Thanks!
Wow, ran straight away.... awesome work. Keith won't be needing to fix this one, hee.
23:21 Dear Joe! What a great built. Gorgeous little machine. ❤️Thank you for this nice series. o7 Ulf
Very good serious, so professional. I machined a Sturet #4 when I was in high school. I still run it It got me my first job in a machine shop.
very nice Series Joe !
Beautiful! I love seeing it run. Masterfully done.
Looking forward to revisiting this series to see the reversing kit build, and perhaps the paint job. Good stuff.
I really like the cast raw look. But I agree, painted models are very sharp too.
Nice to see her run Joe! thanks bud!
First Class job Joe, Thanks for doing it. I always learn a lot from your work. .............Al
Happy day Joe! FIRST CLASS job. And may flights of angels sing thee to thy rest tonight!
Wow !! Joe it’s the best D10 I have ever seen built , the quality, precision, and care in making this steam engine was only over taken by your great talent and experience for perfection . Your videos and Comments have made each build exciting entertaining and amazing, thank you once again for your time ,knowledge and Patience and all your videos, looking forward to your next adventure. Thanks Mark !
Thanks Mark.
Superb quality work Joe well done, doesn't the motion and movement of engineered parts just draw you in. Cheers.
Thank you Joe for an outstanding build, it’s such a pleasure to see how you work and I’m learning every time.
Hope you’ve got something new to make 👍.
Best regards
Andy. From the UK.
Excellent, nice smooth action at low revs too. 👍
Thanks Joe. Love your work.
This is a beautiful machìne, very well made and it encourages me in my feeble attempts at machining. Thank you sir and well done.
What a piece of art……that is just fantastic Joe Pie, your right, it is hypnotic, you can watch that machine all day… Thank you so much for having this great website and your knowledge of machines. Again thank you, Mike
A wonderful piece of machinery, Joe, extremely pleased to have been following you, wish you well from NL
Absolutely brilliant Joe

Brilliant series Joe! Thanks for your time and effort!
Nice work Joe. I have the same engine but I got it pre machined. That was in the mid seventies.
I still haven't got round to fitting the reversing gear yet, dont want to rush things.
Cheers
Chalk up another work of art Joe, cant wait to see what's next.
Beautiful job Joe, thanks for bringing us along!😊
My pleasure!
Amazing job!!! The sound put a smile on m face!!!
Mine too.
Steam engines are magical. My father made a twin-cylinder engine from scratch. ⅜” bore and stoke. It originally started as a single cylinder engine and on that side he used mainly a file and a drill press to make it. All of the tiny hex nuts were filed out by hand. Runs like clockwork.
Great job! I'm about to build my first steam engine model soon, so this series gave me a ton of helpful ideas and techniques.
Great build. Awesome machining and attention to detail.
Thank you very much!
Sounds like a brand new sewing machine, absolutely perfect!
That is a super little engine, I can quite understand how happy you must be. Thank you for another excellent model build series, they've all been mine of useful information!
