About Me...
I started model engineering and building model stationary steam engines in 2015, after constructing a small engineering workshop in my back yard, I use a Myford ML7 hobby lathe, a Dore Westbury milling machine, along with a pillar drill, band-saw and the usual hand-tools associated with hobby engineering and enjoy making model engines and general tool-making and metalworking. Nearly all of my engines are scratch-built without drawings, from available bar-stock, starting from an initial idea and allowing the design to evolve throughout the build process. I do occasionally use drawings from the web, as a basis for a design, and then modify it to suit my needs, using mostly metric dimensions, but often mix metric and imperial. I spend countless hours in my workshop working on a single engine, and much frustration can be involved, but all this is eventually offset by the pleasure and excitement of seeing my model engines take shape and eventually come to life. My shed is also my sanctuary, somewhere I can go and forget about the worries of everyday life, to occupy my mind and hands with something creative and fulfilling, where I am free from distraction and interruption.

A pleasure to watch!
Nicely done Ade, turned out great. Cheers, Jon
Masterclass 👌
Very enjoyable to watch. The flywheel looks ace. 👏👏👍😀
Thanks Andrew!
That flywheel turned out amazing, Thanks Ade!
Hello Ade,
Nice work there on the Myford and Dore Westbury... the flywheel looks very nice indeed...
Take care.
Paul,,
Twice in this video I decided that you are a very brave man Ade, the way you applied the layout die to a spinning part in the lathe shows that you are a confident man indeed. That stuff watches for me to walk by just to leap out and get on me every time I am in the shop.
LOL Robert - layout fluid is the least of my worriess, you should see the spatter of blue on my shirts - my wife cant shift those blue spots regardless of all the modern day stain removers, but as far as I am concerned, my shirts are modern art! :)
Lovely job Ade 👍👍👍 I really like your trepanning tool, I must get around to making one of those. Cheers, Alan.
Fantastic video mate 👍👍
Thanks for sharing 👍
Hello Mr. Ade, I personally enjoyed to read your personal comments. Read this at 3 times, the year 2015 in November I had 13 hours of Heart surgery and made it my friend. I'll be 64yrs old in March and I wish to be able to shack your hand ✋. I have exact mission you are doing. Yes I'm constructing a nice work shop, where I 🤔 can do this same. Get away from daily issues and be able to distracted all the crazy things. I wanted to share this with you. Ade, such perfect words you wrote, I have the same mission. I've always enjoyed your videos and I wish to build a number of those little Air Operated Engines. Good week friend....
Hi Keith, thanks for your comment, I'm pleased that you enjoy my stuff! Kindest Regards, and keep happy and well, Ade
@@AdeSwash Keith USA, and I'm very delighted 😀 what you said to me. Please stay in touch with me. In winter, is your shop heated? I noticed that you are all bundled up, to stay warm. Is your shop attached to your home??
@@keithmonarch447 Hi Keith, I have a small log burner in the shed but it isnt very well insulated so the heater only takes the edge off in the hashest cold winters, its a stand-alone shed in my back yard, so not heated from the house. I hope to build a bigger insulated workshop in due course as I have outgrown the existing one, and have it propperly insulated so I can use it more throughout the long winter months. I do envy the American designed houses with a basement, as I would love all that space! Take care friend! :)
@@AdeSwash Hi buddy. In winter, I have two places where I can play. The car garage, I have installed an natural gas heater. But Keith uses it for auto cars like that, but not to keep it heated 24/7. Your right, I also have a basement, so my work shop is to is where I have my new Lathe. I am putting this shop down there also has a DRO too. I actually know Metric pretty well. It's slowly evolving 😌 into a functional work environment. On February 23rd, I'm having Back Surgery, oh Mate until I heal, I'm going to wait until the doctor gives me permission. Nice to chat with you buddy 👍 😀..
good job......did you make the 'trepanning tool'. or is it a commercial item? it looks a bit like a HSS cut off tool used to poke into the work.
I made it myself, from HSS
Nice work Ade!
Do you grind / shape your cutting tools for your lathe yourself?
Have a nice Sunday!
Stay healthy....
I use carbide for normal turning, and gring any specials from HSS, such as the trepanning cutter used
Good video! I wish I had less chatter with my trepanning tool but I suspect my lathe just isn't rigid enough.
Hi Olen, thanks for the reply, I get lots of chatter trepanning, my setup isnt very rigid either, if i get a chatter finish, I then go in and turn it slowly, sometimes by hand to remoce the chatter marks :) Regards. Ade
Thanks for sharing, great job. Would be interested to see a closeup of that HSS cutting tool you used to bore out the recess in the wheel. I have tried many shapes and they always chatter and never give a good finish. My wheels never look as nice as yours.
Hi David, the best way to explain the shape that I ground is if you watch this video czcams.com/video/6PcEBaset1I/video.html as this is very similar to the shape I ground, the only difference is I have zero rake on the tool tip, as I mostly use brass for my flywheels
@@AdeSwash thank you I will try to Tom's method.
Ade, what was the point of changing from one 4 jaw chuck to another? The only difference I could see was that the jaws were reversed.
Are the jaws not reversible on those chucks? Or do you simply find it more convenient to change chucks instead of flipping the jaws?
Hi Ddross87, the first chuck used is a self centering 4 jaw, I swapped out to the independent 4 jaw so that I could dial it in for the flipped operations
@@AdeSwash Ahhh. I've never seen a 4 jaw chuck that wasn't independent. Would be a handy thing to have at times.
