Crank Axle almost made me QUIT! - Steam Loco No. 28

- A build series of a "Maid of Kent", a Curly Lawrence designed #steam #train #locomotive in 5" gauge using real #livesteam, built using traditional tools and materials by an amateur #machinist in a home workshop.
Never give up, if we all gave up when times got tough there would be no model engineers at all! The fact that you stayed with it and now have running true crank makes it all worth while…. You should be my waste parts draw 😢 it’s shocking! Good effort Will 👍🏻
Thanks Richard - I appreciate the good vibes and I'm thankful this part of the journey is over :)
Congratulations now it's done,good on you for sticking with it ! Looking forward to the next episode.Thank you
It was tough but I'm glad I did!
Well done for sticking with it William
Thank you so much for the props :)
Great job on the crank axle, it looks fantastic now. It is fantastic that you did not give in and the outcome was worthwhile
Glad you enjoyed it! It certainly felt like one of the labours of Heracles!
Well done William. Got there in the end and much learn't for the next 'Crank Axle' on the next build...
Yeah, got there in the end. Here's hoping the next one has far fewer angry tears lol
Perseverance rewards 👏👏 Well done William 👍😎

Well done mate, knew you’d get it in the end. The pump would be a great distraction next!
Couldn’t have done it without your moral bolstering, chum!
So glad that you got there in the end.
You and me both, I was close to throwing in the towel!
got there in the end, there's nothing wrong with just using what you've got, some people have too much tooling

Thanks Kev - LBSC's designs are very much oriented around the workshop of yesterday (from the perspective of 1948!) - so coal furnaces and bits of wood are the order of the day. In some ways it is refreshing, other than Matt Chivers, I do not really like videos which go straight to the welder/grinder!
You want to be careful using a bench vice. I cracked the base of one mine using it as a press. That’s the trouble when you use a bit of pipe as an extension to get greater force on the handle!
I’ve not thought of that! That’s a great point! Hopefully I don’t have too much more pressing to do, but if I do, I think I will buy a two-ton press
Of course it isn't beyond you. It's just more difficult if all the 5/8's are different :)
Thank you Michel - I know what you mean about 5/8's being different. I have a new appreciation for accuracy when parts really must be bang on.
I just pass a full length ground rod through all the bits, loctie, pin and cut out the crank centers.
H7 reamers are for clearance.
Aaaaaah!! So what am I looking for, for press fit? Hopefully won't need to do any more of these but just incase!
@@williamsworkshopuk Look up a fits table in say machinery handbook. It shows the relative fits to each other. Then you can specify which reamer you really want or machine to a suitable fit
@@union310 I’ve never seen a reamer defined as such
@@williamsworkshopuk If you have a brand such as Dormer or Presto check the shank or the box
Well done for sticking with it, does it need pinning to give it belt and braces
I have thought about that - I don't want anything to work loose - but the webs are only 1/4" wide and I'm worried about compromising the integrity, let alone trying to drill a 1/16" diameter hole over 1¼" deep through steel!
By shrink fit ... did that involve heating the webs ?
Yes, I tried chilling the pins but the temperature difference wasn't big enough to allow it to fit properly.
