“Artisan, small batch square bar…” - LOL!!!
This has been a lovely series to watch. I had never previously understood the fascination with model boilers - it seemed like a bit of an "old man" hobby - but seeing the engineering and manufacturing challenges that go into them has fully demolished that preconception. Your videos inspired me to do my first bit of work on a lathe, too!
One of the things I have really enjoyed is seeing all the mistakes and rough edges, there's definitely a lot of "now draw the rest of the owl" with some other (also good) CZcams hobby machinists, and I think the accessibility (and humility) in Quinn's content is the reason I keep coming back here!
(also - o hai :D)
Oh... when do we get to see the steam powered drag racer?
I had a similar experience. I got into this for a love of engines, but the more I read about the engineering and physics of boilers, the more fascinating I realized they are.
@@MikelNaUsaCom When? How about now. keywords: Ford Walters steam dragster
@@Blondihacks I'm an engineer and when I was doing post grad there was a huge argument over the department getting rid of the steam equipment.
The head of the department wanted it all gone.
Then somebody pointed out that QUT in Brisbane had the LAST extensive steam plant that could be used for training in Queensland.
*AND THEN* that person started pointing out all the steam plants still in use.
*AND THEN* that person pointed out all the applications where steam is used *AND* how none of them were going away. Like how could anyone get rid of the steam plants in hospitals that are used for sterilizing. Like how could anyone get rid of steam from all the industrial processes that rely on it.
When the head of department became "obtuse" (to quote Shawshank) there were a few phone calls to various companies and institutions that QUT was dumping its steam training courses and the plant. To say that did not go down well is a gross understatement.
The only thing that will change with respect to steam is the energy source for boiling the water.
100 points to Quinn for using the term 'Cattywampus'.
Kozo would be tickled about his “Grasshopper” elevating her skills these past few months…well done!
LOVED this series!
I was so sure you would comment “What happens at Band Clamp, stays at Band Clamp” 😄. Maybe that ended up on the cutting room floor.
The part where you almost finish paintint the oil on the wood, was such an evil/effective strategy to make people become a patron!
Hahahha I was really paying attention!
As a long time woodworker, and a machinist once upon a time, I really enjoy your builds, Quinn. For the finishing of the mahogany lagging, tung oil is a great option but I suggest removing them from the boiler after you have them all dry fit and applying the finish, then reinstalling on the boiler. This will give them increased protection from any spills or leaks and they will be less likely to split.
That way you can seal them entirely, right? Back side and the part under the smoke cap too.
@@autochton Exactly! 😊
Me and the kids loved every minute. Gota tell ya that everybody YELLED OUT use the grinder when you were fitting the wood straps.
That's because It's all we got. I laughed out loud. Everything can be fixed with a hammer or a grinder. Thanks DAD
THANKS SO MUCH !!!!!!!!!!!
Quinn: I've thrown a lot of shade at woodworkers over the years...
Also Quinn: I'm just gonna eyeball it.
Woodworkers: *miniature carbohydrate foam fist shake*
Your mark on this world is not only the engine and the boiler but also tens of thousands of inspired people, and all the projects we'll make one day. Well done sensei.
As a non-American, I appreciate the measurement conversions on screen. Thanks!
I am also a non-American, so I feel you😬
Who is this talented and articulate person? You rock! You elevate all of us Makers. Thanks
Your firebrick and wood bench top blended in for a sec and I thought you were annealing in the most bold way possible by starting a bench fire. Amazing stuff as always!
Beautiful and functional...the best of both worlds. It has been most enjoyable to watch this series. As a woodworker (and proud of it), one note...a commandment of wood finishing is: "However one finishes any face of a board, so shalt thou finish all faces (edges/ends) of a board." This, obviously, seconds Mr. Hutson's prior comment. Thank you for sharing your work.
My partner bought me a pm research steam engine kit (raw castings, of course) for Christmas this year! I can’t wait to apply all that I’ve learned from you.
"One time, at band clamp..." I've loved this series. Your channel is always a great joy to watch. Thank you!
"... And one time, at Band Camp, the Brass section machined Band Clamps and it was so much fun!!"
Excellent little series Blondi . The best parts were you showing all the little oopses we all do .
I'm a CNC machinist ... usually catch my mistakes before the last cut , Trust me , when you program , set up and run 2 machines simultaneously every day on mostly 2 - 4 pcs orders , mistakes don't ... ' just happen ' ... its the rule .
And the mighty knight rides up on his trusty steed ready to lance the boil. If you see a small hole pierced in the lagging think of a small knight from Gulliver's Travels, and watch out for small piles of used oats.
Well done.
That's a beautiful boiler. The Tung oil finished mahogany lapping really brings it together.
Lagging a boiler: 🙂
Boiling a lager: 🤨
One time at band clamp...
One thing is a good idea, boiling a lager, perhaps not so much.
@@robertoswalt319Well, boiling hot dogs in stale lager is a good thing!
You want to boil largers, it's an important step in brewing (well i suppose you could argue that you boil the wort, and it doesn't become a larger until it's fermented, but i think that's a bit picky)
So pleased to see this project through. I enjoyed it so much, I am now a patron of your work. This is also the first time I have tried being a patron of any creator, so you can take credit for single-handedly inspiring at least one viewer to join patreon. Thanks, Quinn, for working so hard for our enjoyment out here in CZcams land!
Thanks so much for taking the plunge for me! 🥰
I watched the whole series and feel great to see this project working!
Congratulations on your achievements, you earn how great you must feel about it :)
I'm so glad you finished, all those setbacks might have made a lesser human give up. Well deserved result and a testament to your skill, patience and determination.
I'm not a model engineer but I do admire skill and talent. I love your relaxed, self deprecating presenting style - a far cry from a lot of CZcams video's from across the pond. And I love the way you occasionally mock us Brits :-) Many thanks
The boiler is finished! Now time to make speed governor and pressure-controlled gas valve!!!
Who's with me on this one?!
Feed pump.. governor... condenser/ feed water pre heater, then what an entire mini machine shop to make an even smaller boiler and engine? Where do you stop???
Thank you Quinn for taking us along in your journey to bring into the world this steam engine & boiler, it's been a pleasure to watch every week.
As a carpenter, I would have measured the circumference of the finished wood, divided that into evenly spaced boards so that I didn't have a small board on the back side, and if this was full sized, you would probably rip the boards with beveled edges so that you didn't have a gap at the outer radius between boards, even though the inner radius was touching.
That being said, I'm giving you a hard time in good fun, the boiler is very impressive!
I just want to let you know that watching this video caused me to binge your entire boiler engine build playlist. Your content is delightful. I'm glad I stumbled into it.
What a piece of art. It's fun listening to you think out loud.
You're the Quinntessential humorist too. 👍
Fantastic final product. You should be proud.
Fantastic result. Looks brilliant all dressed up in the Mahogany!
Welcome to the wonderful world of woodworking, glad to have you and don't pay any attention to the machinists who cast shade our way. They are just jealous that they dont always get to work with wood. :) I have loved this project so far. :)
Having just scared myself pretty good trying to control my essential tremor while removing two surface mount devices from a radio and then using their previous location to tack solder tiny wires leading to the modification (long story you don't need to know), watching you do this precision work by hand gives me a certain joy. Knowing that (a) you have the tools & (b) the steady hands, well, it's nice knowing how much fun it was to do that kind of thing back in the day. Stay safe & well & sane.
Beautiful. I really hate to see this project end. It's been enjoyable to watch. Well done, Quinn.
The boiler turned out great Quinn.
Congratulations you are now an official boilermaker and model engineer. Enjoyed the video.
I'm not an amateur machinist, and have no aspirations to be one. I'm a former woodworker and DIY handyman. But I really look forward to the release of each and every one on your videos. They are enlightening and entertaining.
Yay it's Blondihacks time!!
Boiler? That’s a work of art, you should be very proud. Shiny brass and wood, mmmm. Well done Noel
Watched this from the beginning. Well done!
Finally! The woodworking content we all crave! The beauty of woodworking is that you have to be precise, but not accurate. Or maybe accurate and not precise. Look it doesn't matter how much of a shaving you need to remove from the wood. Just remove it and make it fit.
This was great to watch! I learned a lot. Big thumbs up for having the guts to post up a series on making a boiler. So many people would worry about accidentally going back in time, or breaking gravity in your local area or something if it goes sideways. But methodical testing using proven methods and science wins again. Who would have thought?
That moment when you set the boiler on the just-soldered base, all freshly blacked and discovered the perfect fit? GORGEOUS
Wanted to thank you for this build, and the steam engine one. Roommate is a hobby machinist, but until watching those two builds with him I wasn't that interesting in learning how myself. Now, I want to try my hand at machining to make jewelry settings, and be able to help with our ROV (re)build. It's nice to see another woman building/working at things in normally male dominated areas. Cheers to you and Sprocket!
Amazing project. I'm simply in awe of your work and patience!
Congratulations on building one of the best engine/boilers on the planet.
It's been a pleasure to follow you on this journey!
Imso glad that for now its done because its great to see your engine runnin' and the boiler.... Boilin'. But its also kind of sad to see the end of it. Its been such a cool series and its a piece of art. Looks awesome Quinn!!!
If you add orange oil, a minimal ammount around 2% or less, the tung oil dries faster, makes it easier to apply and gives a more pleasant smell. It acts as a natural dryer. Use gloves with both oils. I usually do 4-5 coats minimum. I use a sponge to really spread It thin.
Good tips, thanks!
Great work! Looking forward to the water pump at some point!
Your clampmaking setup = GENIUS. I love that.
Most Gas Turbines have Heat Recovery Steam Generators to drive steam turbines. This makes them Combined Cycle. They bump the efficiency of Steam Turbines up above 60%. Most of them are 3 stage boilers with tubes dropped down into the exhaust duct of a Gas Turbine. Its pretty incredible what those machines do with something we would ordinarily dump into the air as waste heat. Watching this series has made me appreciate steam boilers even more.
Quinn, you do great work !!! with your patients and attention to detail you could escape from a Mexican prison with only a file ... Stay well the world needs you
Lowkey sad to see the series end. Can’t wait to see the steam plant!
Absolutely beautiful, you should be justifiably proud.
This was a fantastic build! I watched all 16 parts!
Unlicensed woodworking that works!
Came out fantastic! Would watch again!
I'm already looking forward to the water feed pump. The little bit I've seen about steam pressure boiler water feed systems makes me pretty interested in what sort of solution you'll go for Quinn.
And I've thoroughly enjoyed this series already. It's a fun project, and I love the honesty you've shown about the ups and down. Not just the memorable fails, but little things like taking down that bar stock in fewer setups.
Nice work, Quinn. I like the lagging. I made an entire bedroom set out of Honduran mahogany, and "tough" barely describes working with that stuff. Think "an endless universe of micro-splinters". Thanks for all you do. I wish I had your skills.
What a great project! I have been following all the build videos. My Dad would build items and was so particular that he would always turn the screw slots the same direction when tightening.
I had a woodshop teacher in high school that would downgrade us if the phillips heads weren't all aligned on our finished projects, been lining up screw heads ever since lol.
The technical term for aligning screw slots is “clocking”.
@Rozinant 123 Actually, I think the technical term is "OCD". :)
Well screw slots are almost always turned the same direction when tightening--clockwise... sorry, couldn't resist.
@@rozinant1237 I did not know that. You learn something new every day
It turned out great! It’s quite interesting to see the little tricks used to get the precision needed while fabricating the parts. And if you get tired of your engine you will always have 1/2 of a beautifull expresso machine, just yank it all the way to 9 Bar.
Thank you for the journey Quinn
Bruno
GREAT JOB Quinn, almost sad a little to see this one end!
I have loved this series. I watched it purely for enjoyment. All that is missing is a steam whistle. Thank you for sharing.
It works and is also lovely. Wonderful job! Years ago when I, a woodworker, was just learning machining, found I needed to cut 16 big mortices for the legs of a big workbench. I was considering the methods to cut all these when I thought: "HEY! I have a milling machine!". I hogged out most of the waste with a drill bit, then final cut on the mill with a 1 1/4" end mill. They were all perfect, and it took a fraction of the time any other method would have. P.S. Partly inspired by you, I just purchased a portable band saw.
Just an idea for a project for your boiler is an injector. You can find plans for them in LBSC’s book shops, shed, and road. There are other sources but I can think of them. It would be a fun precise job with tooling to make as well.
I find my electronic tools useful in some builds. The flush cutting side cutters and the ribbon cable cutters work great on thin wood and plastic.
I have also found the refillable rosin pens work great with layout die.
Nice finish to the project. Honestly, I didn't have high hopes for my enjoyment of this series with the boiler when it first started. I've seen a few of Keith's boiler projects as they unfold and while they're good I find them less exciting than engine work. Yet, there was sufficient drama and adversity during assembly that it became quite engaging. It was fun to watch, which surprised me. Thank you.
You had me with the last spot bit. I could feel my Asperger go into overdrive lol.😄
The finished product and the journey are both awesome! If you find yourself needing to make artisanal bar stock again, cut your blank to length. Grip the blank in the middle of the vise with enough sticking up to mill the sides (in this case .300). Skin the top, and side mill all the sides. Flip part and mill off the remaining grip stock to thickness. Everything square and to size in 2 setups, and you only waste the grip stock.
The internet never forgets, but fortunately you covered yourself in an earlier video by making it very clear that hand tool woodworking and power tool woodworking are completely different things.
Well, the whole thing really pops. Beautiful work.
I don't appreciate how invested I was in that one last little dry spot. You (almost-) monster! :D
Congratulations on finishing this awesome project.
Congrats on crossing the finishing line. It has been fun. Looking forward to whatever is next on your list. :-)
Very nice looking boiler and works well.
What a lovely peaceful series this has been....Cheers
Now it deserves a pair of Blondihacks designed and engineered clamps for the silicone hose.
🥳👏👏👏👌👍
You really add a LOT to this pursuit of engineering Quinn.
Thanks for your commitment, your ‘honesty’, and your skills.
Regards
Robert
Well done, Quinn. Beyond creating an elegant machine that's a delight to the eyes, you and followers of the series learned tips and tricks to propel us into future projects. All the best in the new year to CZcams's Quinn-tessential machinist.
Finished Boiler looks beautiful
"It's just to keep the birds from stealing the wood". love it! haha!
Great series, binge watched the whole lot! Thanks 👍
A very enjoyable series, Quinn. You mentioned "If I can do it..........." Obviously you don't know about my lack of patience when it comes to really involved projects. I'm very glad you don't suffer from that same malady 😁
Fantastic seeing it running!! It’s beautiful and there’s something special about a one-off piece of engineering in this day and age
This has been a wonderful series, which I watched during the closing days of the 2022 midterm elections. What an oasis from the electioneering (as I type this, the polls are closing in the Rocky Mountain states)--thanks Quinn!
Bonjour Quinn,
Meilleurs vœux pour cette nouvelle année.
Another beautiful steam project successfuly finished with your usual thoroughness :+)
I will be happy to go on following your projects,
Amicalement, Raphaël
Et vous aussi! 😁🇨🇦
Great job! Congrats on your boiler. As a live steamer I thoroughly enjoyed each video!
Fantastic result Quinn. You should be very proud of this. Another commenter has mentioned building a small Giffard injector instead of a feed pump. I’m not sure how small you can make them and still work but it would be a real fun challenge. They do at the end of the day run using some sort of thermodynamical magic. There would be opportunities for lots of information sidebars which I love !
Fantastic job Quinn. I love your little philosophy you shared at the end there. You really are an amazing human being.
You are sooooooooo friggin' good. Thank you for sharing your projects and thoughts as you do them.
Beautiful looking thing.
Really great result. Looks superb.
Nice bastardisation of Animal Farm.
Looking forward to your next project.
I really don’t think you need to worry about wood working once in a while - it’s what you do with food is what I find concerning: I can not conceive a state of butter that would allow it to be bent around some wood-clad cylinder, not without instant blaspheming at least 😜
Pleasing finale, with the same sad feeling that one had when the curtain fell after the last am dram performance of a season (and which may be hundred-fold and possibly lead to self-harm once Binky is “done”). I am eagerly looking forward to your next project. You got to feed the beast (by which I mean: us, not the boiler!)
Steam up!
Beautiful to see it working so well. Wonderful engineering. Well done.!.
I admire your patience and skills, I wish I had some of both. I enjoy watching your channel, keep up the good work
Fantastic job luv! This is not only beautiful but functional as well! Congrats on a ending up with such a quality piece that showcases the hours and hours of determination, skill, and effort, that was spent creating it.
Blondihacks, beautiful work! I love watching that engine move. Great job!
As a woodworker I love Tung oil, its always been my go to finish. 👍👍
Great work Quinn.
Very well done I'm happy to see that someone is working hard to keep a part of history alive congrats
