@DrFrankensteam Yes, Considering how much it would extend out of the chuck, there was not enough casting to hold in the chuck. Not sure that was good explanation.
@mrpete222 Thank you very much for your answer! Yes, thats a good explination. I was thinking of making a engine myself similar to yours with castings. These videos have been a excellent source of information.
Your skills are great! I've been watching your videos for awhile. I'm curious on one thing though. Is there a particular reason you chose to mill the end of the cylinder as opposed to facing it in the lathe? Just curious, thats all. Thank you so much for sharing these with us. I live in northern Il. myself, would love to visit your shop someday if you allow visitors.
have you considered a conventional rotary table? 0 to 90 degree articulation, and the ability to lay out bolt circles in radian, could greatly speed up, as well as increase accuracy in your builds. REGARDLESS AWESOME WORK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thank you sir! very enjoyable and informative! You have inspired me to undertake this type of project once I acquire some more machine tools. I need a new lathe.
I thought that it was considered poor practice (e.g., dangerous) to use a lathe chuck on a tapered object as the jaws are only touching at one point. How did you deal with this when cleaning up the boss on the cylinder head?
Quite an amazing job! Good to see there are fellow steam enthusiasts in my state that have some great skill. I wish I could stop in and see some of these things being done in person.
watching your videos is like watching a cooking show but instead of cooking food you are creating non-edible things, and instead of filling my stomach you are filling a void in my perfectionist side which i cant afford to satisfy on my day-to-day "machinist" job because of time constraints. Thank you for your passion to teach. it really helps feed my passion to learn.

@TeacherPHD Thanks--well advised.

I wish he was my Dad, Look at all those lovely tools, it would be learning Heaven.

G'day Tubal 2, thanks for all your efforts. Your video tutorials are first class and very informative. You've inspired me a great deal.
Love your videos! I really want to learn machining and your videos are quite an inspiration. Where in IL are you. I'm from Chicago originally.
I thought that it was considered poor practice (e.g., dangerous) to use a lathe chuck on a tapered object as the jaws are only touching at one point. How did you deal with this when cleaning up the boss on the cylinder head?
So are you going to build a boiler for this as well?
I like the videos. Keep up the good work.
2 hrs would be boring for some people. No counter balance on the crank. Time is money in a production machine shop.
is there a reason you didnt use a fly cutter to face it once you put it on the mill
Ive just remebered who tubal cain is the man who wrote model egineering books
Thanks again mate. Youre vids are always ace! Keep up the good work. Paul :)
That's a pretty slick trick there using the dividers to lay out the head bolts.
amazing videos! man I just suscribe to your channel! greets from Mexico City!..
This is brilliant stuff!
Best Wishes, Brendan

"It makes the little punches go flying across the room, causing you to swear" - BRILLIANT
The little punches go flying across the room causing you to uhh swear. :D:D
At first I thought I would be bored, then I found out that anything over 5 inches I am just chattering....
DobermansRock hi hi hi mm

excellent work mr pete
Another great video
nice shop!!!
Does this guy know your using mrPetes stuff😂🗿 Thanks for sharing these mrPete
I wish you showed the whole proce lile alot of people do. I Know lot of us really like watching the machining
T=up
3:20 how did you mill so well in a circle. was it just a bit of an estimations or is there some trick to it?
I want your shop
