Really liked the flats on the connecting rod, always amazed at your setup ideas! A joy to watch you work! Thanks Joe!
Joe, I hope you are in a position to enjoy some family time this Memorial Day weekend. I always told folks machining is easy. It's the fixturing and part holding and order of operation that is critical. You think things through and fixture accordingly. Great fun to watch you work. Thanks for doing the video on this build. Another thing I always told the guppies and minnows coming up through the shop. It's not what you have done , it's what you have seen done. Put those pictures in your mind for use at a later date. Adapt a fixture design or process to fit what you need to accomplish on said job in hand.
Always impressed with the fixtures you come up with, definitely takes some thought to come up with them ( way outside the box 😉 ) . Have a happy Memorial Day weekend and I’ll be looking forward to the next one .
Nice to come by for a Saturday treat with Joe.
Glad you enjoyed it
Joe, your allergy to the metric system is fixable but only inch by inch.
You are, without a doubt, the best machinist on RUclips Joe!
@5:20 "Naturally, when they come together, two halves make a hole." I see what you did there.😀😀
GOOD DAY, JOE P. I sure enjoy these visits. I am a bit surprised at the dull tooling being used by Stuart on this piece. Up until this one everything has had very good castings and pre-work. Sure glad they left enough meat for you to squeeze this one out of. I am sure liking the V block setup for the clevis end. Without that support being carefully cut to size that piece just couldn't have been so expertly machined. Awesome my friend, just awesome. The time you spent thinking about how to approach this part was time well spent. The proof is right there in front of us. Another accurate and great looking piece for us today Joe. I usually had a difficulty with facing etc the big end of parts like these. The large sweep of the piece and needing to get right in there would usually cause me to get dizzy and the chance of being drawn in was always there. I would often have to shut down and regain my equilibrium. Love that self preservation thing eh, LOL. Curious, , , As these connecting rods are attached to a moving crank shaft is there a way to oil the ends ? Brass to steel is a pretty good bearing but sort of ok at smaller speeds and loading but will still need a lubricant and at higher speeds and pressures most defiantly need some slippery in there eh. Direct injection or drip or possibly a submersion enclosure tank of some sort ? Great to see you still producing these perfect wee parts. Take care and why not dive this weekend eh. Do you have a favorite wolf eel to visit. They are surprisingly friendly and remember their visits from us.
So many hints and tips, really well thought out lessons too. The benefits of being a master machinist with the kindness to teach others. Priceless
Producing these videos while machining really adds a lot of time to a part, but I'm happy to do it. Thanks for tuning in.
Your video setups / lighting / editing are as streamlined as your machining skills and instructions…well done Sir.
Nice work sir! Might want to number your rods and caps so that you remove the risk of swapping caps.
I see now that the secret of any but the most simple machining job is the Fixturing. I am just now getting my head around basic machining ops and Order of Operations. Now I see I still have to learn how to design and create fixtures. Phew!
Well done, Sir!
We all hope you are well, happy, and safe, too. Thanx Joe!
Those notches for the rod bolts will help when you need to ‘unloosen’ them as well and as always I’ve learned something new today. Have a fantastic Memorial Day weekend.
More great set up methods - a major part as usual of achieving the desired results with efficiency.... particularly that Spindexer set up - nice way to minimize extra changes over and over. I'd probably never have thought up quite such a good approach! Most satisfying results Joe. :)
As always, really enjoy and appreciate the innovative setups:})
That is what keeps my attention span through the entire videos as I do not want to miss any details.
Just wish I could give a 👍 for each gem idea I see, but that would blow up the algorithm for sure!
Oh my, you really hurried up to make the next video, thank you.
Another great video thanks for sharing
I'm often amazed at your setups, your experience shows, great work, always a pleasure watching you work
Once again Amigo, THANK YOU 🙏!! I know so many of us take great stock in benefit from your videos. I don't know how many times I've used your talent at work on setups and parts quality.
From El Paso, TX - Thank you Joe 🤘🏻
I'm always fascinated by your unique setups, but this one, in the "spin indexer" is one of your best.....! Nice work!!!
It's my privilege to spend time watching you.
Thanks Joe, it's always a great learning experience watching you in your machine shop.
Thanks Joe - excellent as usual - exemplary workmanship. I went to school in an ex-British colony (Rhodesia/Zimbabwe); when I started school we were taught only imperial units, but by the time I was in high school we'd changed to the metric system, so I feel at home using both systems. When the measurement is about anything human, height, weight etc I still think in feet, inches and pounds, when it's anything engineering or scientific I think mostly in metric, but driving distances and speeds have to be in miles and mph!
Joe, once again I’m blown away by your skill and attention to detail! I’m really impressed with your ability to anticipate possible problems and devise ways to work around them. By the way, add “forensic machinist” to your list of qualifications!
To quote a once very famous man, “ This is another fine mess you’ve gotten us into, Ollie” You have probably spent equal time in fixturing as in cutting (not including measurements) for this pair of parts. Opens the thought process of what it takes to bid a job for actually making a profit. Most people would never think about the actual setup time and jigging required. Really stretches the synapses to realize the daily life of a precision custom metal weaker! Great explanation of the situation, as usual Joe 👉😊👏👍👈
Thanks Joe nice Job
Joe, this one put's the icying on the cake for sure ! The fixturing alone must have taken hours, and connecting rod's a master piece. Thx for carrying us alone for the ride :-).
Thank you for doing these videos. Every time I watch your videos I learn something new from them. My work quality is improving as a result
Hi Joe, another excellent video, thank you, up to your usual standard, making the technical look really easy. I am surprised that there isn't an oiling way set into these; it is a wide bearing to oil from the sides.
One of my favorite things is to sit in my own shop picking up tips from Joe. All my best machining work is through applying this info. Thanks Joe - love the extra anti rotation feature. 👍👍👍
That worked out perfectly. In my opinion, it should be on the print.
That is one of the craziest 4th axis setups I've yet seen. I'd hate to be the poor chap who'd have to write the setup instructions for that op. Thanks for showing us another "outside of the box" solution. Getting as much work as possible out of one setup is a wonderful thing.
I basically finished 95% of the part in one setup. I could have back turned the journal bosses with a boring head, but the space was the killer.
If I were to list all the things that impressed me, the time to read my list would exceed the running time of the video. In a past life, you were probably a heart surgeon. I’m a wood butcher and 1/16 +- works for me. If I tried to make a model engine in this scale, when it ran (if it ran) it would sound like marbles in a coffee can. You do it best. 🥸👍✅
👍
I do hope the model manufactures watch this channel and make some improvements in their model kits.
Class is in session with the master teaching . Thank you Joe for your ideas on these connecting rods .
Great work Joe
Knocked it of the park again Joe, Thank you for sharing your time and talents. I appreciate your thought into your work holding and creating fixtures needed for the precision work your known for. Thanks again.
All I can say is WOW! I learned many fine nuances of properly thinking the work processes out. Then you throw in a couple subtle tips. Of course, having the appropriate tools to do the job is a real plus. This is a video to view a few more times to truly understand all that you did in making the connecting rods.Thanks
I wanted an efficient setup to do multiple parts.
Hey Joe, hi from Germany. Been waiting for this 😊 Great way to start the weekend!
I like all your videos and cannot thank you enough for what I have learned from watching. That said I have always learned a lot from making mistakes as we all have and would love to see a compilation video of your mishaps in the shop. Not all of them as stupid stuff just happens but the ones that you have learned from? We all have those ones in our head and as a 45 year retired small engine tech I got mine for sure. Semper Fi.
We wait with anticipation for the master class for crankshaft production .Cheers beautiful work.
All I can say about your uncanny abilities for perfection is, AMAZING!
Thanks. I believe in doing it right the first time.
always a pleasure Joe. I like the arbor for turning the bosses on the big end. Brilliant!
Quick and left a great finish too.
Another great video Joe. As interesting as it is to watch someone build one of these things your videos provide phenomenal insight into the wonderful world of fixtures to deal with complicated part machining.
It's coming together beautifully Joe, thank you for uploading! 👍👍
Hi Joe, great video as usual. Had a hard week this week and lying here in my hospital bed this video has certainly took my mind off things for an hour. Regards from Wales
Oh No...I wish you a speedy recovery. Remember, don't stay up till 4 in the morning watching RUclips videos until after you get better..
out stand ing. love your methods Joe.
And thank you for spending some of your day teaching us!
My pleasure.
Stefan Gotteswinter would be proud.
Way to think outside the box. That should be a fine running engine when finished.👍👍
I love how you work, I’m jealous of the equipment and precision
Love the setup so so clever.
Joe,you show alot of gems, that vise stop trick is really cool,thank you
That was a last minute thought, but really helped.
Hi Joe, Not only is there a lot of work in the parts, but also a lot of thought and work in designing and making the jigs and setups you have used. Again an excellent video, thank you. Regards Dennis
Thank you. The fixturing really adds to the experience of thebuild.
Beautiful.
I hope that You and Your family enjoy a pleasant Memorial Day. Thanks Joe.
Thanks.
“A LOT OF WORK”….not shown…awesome video, lessons of fixtures and methods….great build
Great Job Joe !!!!!!!
It always looks like magic on my end. Thanks for the video keep on keeping on.
Thanks for stopping by Harold.
Love those notches
They worked perfectly. And they don't look out of place.
Loved the locked hex bolts!
Very good job Mr Joe Pie..thanks for your time
You were right not to try to single-point the BA threads. 5BA is 43tpi (or 1.693mm pitch) and that is the only one where the tpi is a whole number. For example, 6BA is 47.9tpi - good luck finding change gears to cut that. Basically, it's a case of buying a set of taps and dies or converting to something else.
Plus trying to grind a tool small enough with a 47° angle!
I do a lot of BA stuff but I wouldn’t dream of single pointing any of it.
Excellent video Joe! It is always a pleasure spending part of my day learning with your channel 👍
Thanks for stopping by.
Great work! It's always a pleasure to watch you! 👏👍🍀
Best regards from Dresden! 🤠🍻😎
I enjoyed Dresden when I was there.
10 pointer!
Perfect. A thing of beauty eh, Joe? Applies here yet again. This project is coming along nicely.
16:27 nearly gave me heart failure. I literally sat forward and asked, "What are you doing???" - then had to giggle at myself doubting you like that. My apollo geese. 😅
Wonderful, Awesome, Fantastic and just plain COOL. And anyone who doesn't like your changes can @^%#$@..., because I think it's perfect...Stay safe and well & Thanks for sharing your talent and knowledge with us ....
Thanks for checking in.
Looks slick... Thanks for the video Joe.
Beautiful art piece 👍👍
Love your work absolute craftsman
Amazing work.Coming along.Thank you.
Interesting castings.The connecting rod casting I got with the Ajax, was so screwed up, I machined one from solid stock. I think they should have provided solid bar with the kit. I am pretty sure it would have been cost effective for them. I like the cutouts for the bolt heads.Sweet.
Yeah.I don’t think I would want to single point 5-40 BA,either.
Fantastic job, as always!
Thanks.
Nice work, Joe...it's turning into a beauty.
I'm looking forward to powering it up.
Joe Im doing setups I never did before. You are a great inspiration Sir! Appreciate You. My homemade 2 cylinder conversion is on here. Look under Empire Steam Engine. Its slowly running on kitchen countertop.
I like it.
Well done young man!
The man makes jewelry!
Very nice indeed. Lots to learn from it.
Thanks
So I just realized that you’re making a power plant for all the pm research tools you’ve been making. I can’t wait to see the finished layout for the miniature workshop.
The first steam engine I built would be more period correct. This is a boat or small locomotive engine.
Looking good, it is coming along nicely.
Thanks.
Beautiful work again, more lessons learnt!!
More to come.
Rather than tapping the small end of the connecting rod, I made it 4mm through the full width of the small end. Made a shouldered pin and retained it with a small split pin. I feel I was able to get the fit closer than using a screw in pin, and needing to take extra care on the pin so the thread doesn't turn out eccentric to the journal.
I much prefer your method, it leaves the pin fully floating and doesn't add stress raisers right where the maximum shear stress would be in operation.
Im slowly getting used to some imperial measures and terms though i wont predominantly use it yet good to know and make quick, on the move conversions in head😂😂as for the "conrods" as the ordinary term for those, once again thanks for showing setups to handle those. Waited quite long to see how its made. Im seriously considering to make a steam model similar and these videos will really help.
Nice catch, right in the pocket.
They should work. :)
Wonderful series. Very likely to become the #1 worldwide reference work✅
Something else that is getting world wide attention is the hobby of building “cyclekarts” take a look✅✅😮
No idea if they exist in Texas, but they look to be immense fun for all ages.
as always, realy nice job and srtup !
cheers ben.
Excellent work!
It's getting there. Interesting approach.
Certainly different.
@@joepie221 I have a booklet on making the 10V (same engine, single cylinder) all on a 3 1/2" lathe (like the Myford ML7).
Great videos Joe. I found that the stabilization feature in the camera would make things look like they where moving as the drill moved up and down.
Very possible. That setup was rock solid.
Incredible work as always!
Be careful Joe! Steve Watkins touched a rusty metric feeler gauge ... not sure how bad it's going to be .. we just know it's Don's fault!
Thanks for sharing 🇨🇦
Joe, the "bounce" at 11:51 is a quirk of the camera. The electronic zoom, image stabilization and autofocus are the likely culprits. Great video, thanks.
That outrigger stop is solid as a rock. I still can't exactly put my finger on why it looks like its moving, but the auto focus has played games before. Thanks for the input.
used to do a lot of splits. trick is to put small chamfers on the split corners. this will allow the center line some tolerance on location
That gives you more leeway than most realize.
Looks great!
Very enjoyable video chap
I appreciate that.
I used to torque the rods on hi-perf stuff to .007" stretch. Surprised me that a chromemoly bolt would get longer when tightening aluminum rods.
Looks like a nice feature for a square headed bolt

Also.
Perfektní práce!!!!👍👍👍
A masters piece
Once again very good video. I didn't see an oil hole does it not require one ? You are so professional and have all the toys. Love it, THANKS AGAIN.
They will get all required oil holes in the final steps.
