Congratulations on the new arrival.
Many thanks
Hi Joe. Baby first, engineering second. We will understand.
Good luck with the Stuart engine build. I’m going to start on my own build soon, the Stuart Half Beam. 👏👏👍😀 Andrew
Hi Andrew thank you for being understanding just got to get that balance just right. You’ll have to let me know how you get on with that build as I’m doing mine. All the best.
A baby!!! Congratulations to you and your lil family! Having a little one will be challenging for sure but worth every minute.
Thank you T A Ranson. We are getting there slowly and fine tuning the family/ workshop/ work life.
@@MachiningwithJoe I raised 3 daughters, worked 16 hours a day, 7 days a week and I survived. I wasn’t an expert at everything, but If I can do it, you shouldn’t have a problem, you’ll figure it out.
Congrats with the new baby Joe……im sure you will be a cool daddy/father
Thanks I’ll give it a good shot.
Congrats on the little one chap. Hadn't pegged you as the Hornby type...
Thank you, can’t say I’m a keen Hornby fan but I think projects like this are a great way to test your machining skills with all the different setups needed.
Ha! I’m building the same one! I’ve been working on the steam chest today 🙂 Funnily enough having two kids didn’t change anything for me as regards my hobbies? 🤔
That’s good to know I imagine once everything has settled down I’ll be back putting the hours into the workshop. Good to know you’ll have to let me know how you get on with the build.
Congrats on the new arrival! You’re doing well to get back into your workshop so soon. We had a baby, and I’m only just getting my workshop going again. My daughter is now 14…….. Anyway, great choice of engine for a beginner. Steam engines are very forgiving so you should have no problems. Looking forward to seeing how you get on. I’ll second Blondiehacks as a channel worth watching, particularly her PM research steam engine build.
Hi Mark glad it didn’t take me that long to get back into the shop 😊 as for Blondiehacks I have watch some of her stuff but I will definitely have to check out her steam engine stuff a little more. All the best.
I am the opposite, I do not work in metric, so I convert everything to Imperial. One conversion for all 1" = 25.4 mm exactly unless you are hunting microns. Good choice, those kits appear very challenging. perfect for honing one's skills, but they only give you one attempt hence the pressure is on you. Congratulations on the family expansion , cheers!
Thank you Howder yeah that’s what I wanted from a kit something to test my skills across the board. Hopefully I don’t mess up 🥴
Re converting Metric to Imperial, you will gradually convert 3/4" to approx 19mm and the like in your head, but don't, not yet. At the large engineering places I have worked they have both Metric and Imperial machines, if you are working on an Imperial machine, then use Imperial measurement, and vice versa with Metric. Sometimes you get a Metric machine and the drawings are Imperial, to an experienced machinist it's no problem, you convert without giving it a second thought as many sizes you instantly know the conversion size. As you are a relative newcomer, on each project stick with either one or the other,,,,,, it will keep material costs down .
Hope Mother and Baby doing well.
Keep up the good work.
P.S.
Blondihacks does a lot of work with Steam engines, you could reference her work, there might be a problem that she has already overcome.
Hi Dr1verman yeah I’m going to have to be thorough when doing the conversions as I have only ever really been worked with the metric system. I think if I’m careful I should be ok.
Yeah I’ve seen a few of Blondiehacks video but going to have to rewatch the steam engine stuff for some pointers.
Thanks for your thoughts all the best
you had a baby lol
Congrats to you and your missus on the baby mate. Kids change your life for the better, your bank balance for the worse. :)
Haha I can imagine as they get older so do the costs. Let’s make the most of it while she’s small.
