Dang it. I paused just to comment on this. You're right. Absolute gold. My 3 year girl old fell asleep to this video tonight. Thanks for helping me help them know "Girl Power!" Quinn.

@PatrickPoet 3 года назад

I usually have the opposite problem believing I know more than I actually turn out to know. I finally took a beginning manual machining class at the local community college pre-covid, and it was really interesting and fun to find how many of my preconceptions were 100% wrong, and how many things were completely not on my radar but were actually quite important. I _did_ do better than most of the class after I got _past_ that and I put it up to all of the time I spent watching RU-vid machining shows. The class was geared (see what I did there?) toward making a little wobbler steam engine and I was the only one that got a working unit done. I put that up more to poor teaching, sadly, that I was better equipped to overcome from all the before-mentioned RU-vid watching. I spent the first 90% of the term helping others but at the end I realized I had to get my butt in gear or I'd have nothing to show for the effort. I was shocked that no one else got to the goal including people who at the beginning of the class seemed to know so much more than I did. The class needed a lot more structure and hand holding. We were kind of thrown to the wolves with vague diagrams and vaguer instruction by a teacher that was more focused on outside efforts than on teaching. He _did_ tell great stories about racing strange vehicles though. You'd usually find him somewhere in the shop telling someone stories about _not the class content._

@friendlypiranha774 Год назад

CONGRATULATIONS!!! You have taught me more in half an hour than I learned in the last half year. As a complete beginner, I was about to sell my steam engine castings because I didn't think I would ever be able to machine them... EVER. Now I have an action plan of how to proceed. THANK YOU Blondihacks. PS: That flywheel is looking beautiful.

@IanSlothieRolfe 3 года назад

Well as someone who used to hang out at steam fairs and railway meets I can say that your flywheel has (proportionally) less visible "wobble" than many real flywheels on full size steam engines I've seen. Also nice to see experiments with fixtures, not something you see much on youtube.

@johnapel2856 3 года назад

Neatly done. And two incidences of "That's exactly where I wanted that to go." Laughed at both! Thanks, and Meow to Sprocket.

@bradgotschall3259 3 года назад

I’ll call it a win 😊. A friend builds a lot of model engines. He does his wheels on a faceplate as well and has a set of adjustable standoffs to hold the spokes away from the face to allow complete access to the rim as well as make up for slight warp in the casting and spokes. You’re coming down home stretch and looking great 👍

@RickMartin67 3 года назад

Quinn I have very much enjoyed your and Joe's builds on this steam engine . You are taking the approach that most of us hobby machinists would . While Joe of course is a full time professional machinist . Can't wait too see yours running ( full steam ahead ) 😁.

@netpackrat 3 года назад

Beginning hobby machinist here, and I too have liked watching both, and have managed to learn things from both. I personally don't have a huge interest in model steam engines, but the sum total of both channels doing the same project amounts to a work holding extravaganza, and well worth sitting through for that alone.

@wi11y1960 3 года назад

This was the way I would have done it as well. With the exception of placing some brass blocks between the flywheel and faceplate. To hold the flywheel away from the faceplate. Good job that you did. Some one doesnt like what you did, tough. Let them go build one.

@charlvanniekerk8009 3 года назад

You are awesome! that fly wheel was no easy task and as always some good humor, a mill that seems to love lacking real estate and a heck of a lot of skill made for a very entertaining video. Thank you for this amazing series and this wonderful video!

@kipsimpson2332 3 года назад

I just finished a big burrito and a diet Coke and was happy to see that you had a new video that I could watch as lunch settled. I got to thinking about how nifty it feels to have learned so much from your videos that are also just... I just feel nice watching them. You are a gifted teacher and I am so impressed with your lack of laziness. Your work has impacted me and I am thankful for you. And burritos.

@davecross4321 3 года назад

I struggled with flywheels until I worked up this method. Make a disk of plywood smaller than the rim with a hole in the center big enough to work on the hub. This disk goes between the spokes and the faceplate and keeps the rim off the faceplate. Next cut a disk from sheetmetal (1/4 ") like the wood one and drill 4 holes to match faceplate through both disks to clamp everything together with bolts. Center casting just like you did. Cut away. Don't through disks away as you will use them again.

@Blondihacks 3 года назад

Yah I looked at that method for this, but there was no room. The whole flywheel is only 1/2” thick and there’s no overhang on the rim. Nowhere for the wood to go.

@Clough42 3 года назад

Excellent result. That's one of the best-running model flywheels I've seen.

I’ve heard many of your viewers remark that you are certainly full of wit. You make it look easy and we’re living vicariously thru you. No pressure here. 😎👍

@jackbonanno8186 2 года назад

I couldn't agree more with all the positive comments you get. You are such a joy to watch and so talented, you don't dwell on mistakes, you just cast them aside and come up with a solution to fix them. You are so incredible forward thinking.

Your videos are a lucky find. I really enjoy watching and your commentary. If I'm not careful I might learn something. I've been building steam and gas engines for many years. I can't remember how many flywheels I've machined, but this PMR No1 would give me bad dreams for sure. Your method looks like a good solid way to approach this little monster. Thanks for posting these videos I really enjoy them and I appreciate the effort.

@tonywilson4713 3 года назад

Hi Quinn, another great vid in this series. This is a great contrast to how Joe Pieczynski did his fly wheel and a fantastic example of being able to do something by other means and still get a great result. Not everyone will have an adjustable 3 jaw or a face plate or a 6 jaw or many other things. I'm expecting my lathe in a few weeks and it will be all I will have at first so I'll need a different solution for that 15deg hole. But that's the beauty of this wonderful RU-vid community - different solutions. In a year of insanity, despair and uncertainty you and the rest of this community have helped. From Australian thanks. 👍👍🦘🦘🦘🦘🦘

@steveallen8987 3 года назад

If you get inclusions that are too big, fill them with JB WELD before doing your finishing pass. With a difficult hard scale flywheel like this I find the technique I use to turn very small diameters from larger stock. Position the tool with the cutting edge parallel with the face plate and touching the OD of the flywheel, now pull away from the flywheel and feed in the cross slide to take a deep cut, check that the tool will cut material for the full rotation( no intermittent cutting or this won’t work) now start cutting, all the cutting force should now be in Line with the lathe bed so it shouldn’t move the casting on the faceplate. Also you are digging right under the hard scale. I had an irreplaceable flywheel from 1910’s that was hard as glass , it had a big casting mark where the riser had been hacksawedn off. The lathe wouldn’t touch it so I rigged up a turntable to a workbench and clamped down an angle grinder to grind this down to size then I tried this technique, it feels very very aggressive but is much easier on everything except the nerves. Steve. Ps one way to stop the casting sliding is to place coarse Emery paper pads between the casting and the faceplate, rough side to the casting. . One more thing, Check out this little baby for drilling those awkward grub screw holes. www.ebay.co.uk/itm/193705210551 A bit of machining to fix into the tool post and voila.

@C2DSolutions 3 года назад

Another way of machining this would be on the mill with a rotary table. You can then use carbide endmills for the hard cast.

@mikeness5074 3 года назад

Very impressive!! The proof of being done well is how smoothly it rolled on the crank. When you have good balance proves how long it can spin freely without slowing down due to physics.

@claytonl.harper4222 3 года назад

Tapping holes in the faceplate will give you more setup options for hard to hold parts. Very clever setup.

@UncleKennysPlace 3 года назад

Mine came with a zillion tapped and through holes. Randomly placed. I buy used tooling ...

@kristinamckeown5106 3 года назад

Quinn, maybe you considered this and ruled it out. If you had a big enough piece (or two smaller ones) would it have been possible to bolt it to they faceplate (screwed from the back) and then tapped holes in the front where you needed them, for toe clamps? Had to do this for a really large part once. Also an option for large soft jaws when the part is too flimsy to clamp with the jaws alone...

@kristinamckeown5106 3 года назад

Oh sorry, piece of plate aluminum...

@mikey1196 3 года назад

When I was still a maintenance mechanic intern at a small box factory, I wrecked a dial indicator by not pulling the plunger off of the part that I was attempting to "tap" into true on a WWII era South Bend Lathe. My mentor tried to stop me when he saw what I was about to do but he wasn't about to get his hand smashed either. I got a proper ass chewing and the parts guy made me order a new one instead of taking lunch with everyone else. Thanks for showing the proper way to dial something in.

@johnsherborne3245 3 года назад

Thanks so much for the insights in your thinking. Well done cracking the shell of chill iron. For what it’s worth I found a home made angle grinder holder very useful, it clamps to the tool post and is great for dealing with hard stuff. I still have to work out how best to manage tool feeds, but as a solution it keeps coming back!

Fun fact. At a hard facing machine shop I contracted at, they had a leathe that had a grinder on the tool post just for taking scale off castings. It was not the best tool in the shop. And for someone that has just the one, it would be a nightmare to do and not crap your machine.

I know you made this video over a year ago but this may be of use to someone. I am building a Traction Engine, when it came to the fly wheel, as you mentioned the outside face had to be slightly domed. I found the best way to create the dome was by hand, I botched up a scraper by using an old file, and about 2-3 degrees of relief and it5 worked great. I have to say, I was using Harrison M300 (Small industrial Lathe) at my engineering club. I'm not sure if it could be done on a hobby machine. I guess if you have good stability it could be done.

If you intend to paint this engine you might consider filling in the inclusions with a filler of some sort.
