Lets Assemble and Test Fire the Stuart D-10 ---- Enjoy !!! 

Joe, that was an amazing journey and has to be the best finished D10V I have ever seen. As I said when I sent you the kit I have seen lots of 10Vs built on RU-vid but as far as I know nobody has built the twin cylinder D10V. As usual museum quality build but with lots of tips and novel methods thrown in for good measure. I have built one and wish mine had been to that standard. The pleasure in your voice as you built it proved sending it to you was a good move and I certainly got as much pleasure watching the progress as you appeared to from constructing it. A fantastic job and the usual Joe Pie quality. Thank you for the pleasure the video series bought me and made sending the kit a good move. Keep safe and healthy.

From Kurtis at CEE making really big things to Joe Pie making really small things, my Fridays are complete. Thank you Mr Pie for your skills and wisdom.

The way it runs so slowly and sounds so regular is a big part of my enjoyment. The way the parts were machined and the logical train of thought to make sure it’s accurate is just wonderful to watch. There can’t be too many built as well as this.

If someone is watching this and hasn't seen the building process, they have no idea what went into making this. Beautiful project.

Ditto of the previous gentleman, "Excellent series and well done sir! Thank you!" I love that you referenced Keith Appleton. After him, you maybe my second best "grandfather" figure, he does have his wonderful nighttime storybook accent after all.

Not only smooth running but a feast for the eyes as well. Very well done Joe. You deserve to be proud of this project.

What a joy it is to see this one completed and running SILKY SMOOTH. Great build series. Looking forward to the next one!

Thank you Joe for sharing the adventure of building this engine with the world. Likely just a coincident, Union Pacific Bigboy 4014 pushed a stalled freight train over Blair Hill in Blair Nebraska yesterday.

That’s a work of art. I’d love to have that sitting on my place chuffing away. But I’m in awe of your machining skills which have made this unit possible.

You definitely need to include your makers mark and the date on this engine. A little artwork on the steam chest covers would be my choice. Well Done Joe! I enjoyed watching from start to finish!

Sounds like a brand new sewing machine, absolutely perfect!

Absolutely beautiful work. There are much more efficient machines now days but those old devils would run forever with very little maintenance. I worked over 40 years in a steam power plant where we had a few reciprocating pumps, turbine driven pumps and steam turbine generators. Good to see the tradition carried on. Thanks Joe.

You are not the only one with a big smile 🙂 What a beauty. Excellent work!

This series of videos has taught me so many tricks and clever ways to use the tools at hand. Great close-up camera work and audio capture throughout the series. Thanks for investing your time to make valuable videos like this, very helpful.

Congratulations and thank you for a wonderful series which will be a classic reference for all engine builders for years to come.

The flywheel sits low because it’s a marine engine. They’re designed to sit as low as possible to keep the weight down in the boat & the flywheel will sit between the wooden bearers that the engine sits on. I’ve restored a few vintage Stuart Turner marine 2-stroke engines & they all had low flywheels too. Beautiful work as always Joe.

Beautiful Job Joe, I used to build models like this but in 2013 I lost everything in the Black Forest CO wildfire and at age 60 didn’t have the heart to start replacing a lifetime of tools. I thoroughly enjoyed watching you work, you are an artist in your profession

So many helpful tips showcased during the series, the approach, order of operations and the finished project speak for themselves. Great build and enjoyed every minute.

My dad put together a single-cylinder version of this model many years ago prior to his passing. I keep it on my desk as a nice reminder of him. Interesting seeing this model come together.

I am a new subscriber as of July 19, 2024. A dear friend introduced me to you with this video. He is a top notch Machinist with a strong history of automotive, especially in the drag racing realm. My back ground is in engineering, design and drafting. I am grateful for the 20 plus years that I have at the board before ever sitting down at a computer. This is a great video, just enough details to explain this motor. I am going to be watching this series from the beginning since it pleases and intrigues me. My favorite characteristic of this motor is the sound of it running.

That is such a treat to watch run in low RPM

Joe, what a great job, its a pleasure to see a craftsman at work,, thank you for enabling us all to see you at work ,, regards Frank 😊

Next step........add reversing gear. Beautiful work sir. I thoroughly enjoyed this series.

This series has been an absolute pleasure to watch & the final build video is just awesome to see it finally all together & running. The series of builds on the miniature machines that you have built is a testament to your skills & training , keep up the great work. So what is going to be your next build?

23:21 Dear Joe! What a great built. Gorgeous little machine. ❤️Thank you for this nice series. o7 Ulf

WA HOO !! I’m sure my smile was as big as yours watching this come together and run . Can’t tell you how much i appreciate all your effort in not only building this to perfection but also taking all of us along for the ride . Thanks again

Thanks Joe the whole project was like reading beautiful poetry. Especially the ending. Thanks again well done.

Beautiful build. Now go enjoy a couple more well deserved "Locktite dipping trays".😉

Excellent job Joe, great workmanship and also great job you did with the tooling fixtures.

Few things on RU-vid make me smile. This one did... Well done! Would love to see a steam pressure vessel build to power this and maybe even drive some other pieces using the traditional methods of a steam powered shop.

Superb. Hopefully someone at Stuart will see this series of masterclass build methods. Who knows, they may even send more kits.

Beautiful!!! I'm impressed with how quiet it is. Also, thank you for the shot of all the disassembled finished pieces. That was a reminder to me of how much work went into this project. Hope you got far more satisfaction than I did just watching the final assembly. You sir, earned it.

Nice work Joe. I have the same engine but I got it pre machined. That was in the mid seventies. I still haven't got round to fitting the reversing gear yet, dont want to rush things. Cheers

So old construction but still so amazing to se and hear it running.Indeed a very very beautifully job you have done.Cant wait to see what next would be!

Joe my friend called me after rebuilding his 1905 White Steam Car engine. I heard it run on air over the phone I think I was first one to hear it after him. Black Bess his 1905 White took first in 2014 Concour De Elegance. You should have a permanent grin after building that! A true Masterpiece you have built!

Wow, ran straight away.... awesome work. Keith won't be needing to fix this one, hee.

Beautiful. I never would have believed it if I hadn't seen it myself perfect

Brilliant engineering Joe... and kudos for mentioning Keith A. He's a steam engine guru as well as being a great musician, film maker and recording engineer.

100% worth it following this build. I've learned several things about setups and ideas on machining. Thanks a million Joe!!!

Such a great build series! What's next? Thanks for showing us how it's done right!

Very nice little motor. WELL DONE , and thank you again for all the machining and fixturing tips and tricks !!

I'm with you, I could watch it all day, too! Thanks for sharing the project.

Overwhelming !!! Brings a tear to my eye !!! Absolutely beautiful !!! Thank you Joe.

Wonderful videos. Lovely engineering. When it was running, I didnt realise the phone getting closer, until it hit my nose, I was so enjoying the sound and motion of parts. Surprised at the lack of vibrations. CREDIT where its due, THANKS Joe.

That's a very smooth run. Really nice. And if Keith Appelton doesn't know, I don't think anybody else does :)

It's always a pleasure to see all the pieces come together into a work of art. But, also kind of sad because the series is over! What are you going to entertain us with next Joe?!? Great job! You're a true craftsman!! 👏🏻👏🏻

It lives! Wonderful job Joe and thanks for taking us along for the ride.

This is THE most precisely machined miniature engine I have ever seen; even the inside is machined smooth. Great job, Joe.

Fantastic what we need now is a shaft pulley and belt system to drive all the machines at once. New project? 😊

Great build! I think it would be neat to put on clear polycarbonate head and valve covers so you can see the pistons and valves working! Just a thought. Thanks for sharing the whole process. I enjoyed the journey!

This, Stuart D-10 steam engine would be the BEST built of this model ever done.. The craftsmanship & though you show to the process leaves me gobsmacked ... LOVE IT LOVE IT LOVE IT 👌🏻👏🏻👍🏻

Nice job. It's been fun to follow along. Can't wait till the next project!

It looks so smooth when it's running!

Joe, of all the “machining”channels I subscribe to, yours consistently is the most enjoyable, entertaining, and informative! I can’t wait to see what your next project will be!

Good morning Joe, I note the "exposed pin" watchers won the day, I shall submit to the popular opinion as it all looks excellent. On the timing of the steam admission and exhaust there are lots of very good old books on this subject, once set up at 90 degrees the fine adjustment is called Lap and lead, most vertical engines have a little extra lead to compensate the inertia on the down stroke. Thanks for the build. Ray.

Very nice! Sounds pretty good too! You mentioned Keith Appleton and my thought was at this stage of first running, his engine would be dripping oil everywhere.

Thanks for sharing another great build. Your attention to detail and precision is the best I've ever seen. You make small parts look easy.

Thanks for all the wonderful episodes and the beautiful videos... What an amazing project... What an amazing job explaining all the do and don't to help all the folks who might give this project a try ... As for me... I am to old and my hands are too Shakey for all the small parts .. but that said I thoroughly enjoyed watching a true professional do an absolutely amazing and detailed job... I truly can't possibly thank you enough for an outstanding video series .... Thanks for sharing ... Please stay safe and well ...

Wow !! Joe it’s the best D10 I have ever seen built , the quality, precision, and care in making this steam engine was only over taken by your great talent and experience for perfection . Your videos and Comments have made each build exciting entertaining and amazing, thank you once again for your time ,knowledge and Patience and all your videos, looking forward to your next adventure. Thanks Mark !

Build a boiler, go on, go on build a boiler. Really out of your comfort zone but good fun.

Amazing job!!! The sound put a smile on m face!!!

Ain't it nice when a plan comes together? That came out as good as it could have. Now you have a power source for all the other machines, would look cool with a line shaft setup driving them

Thats an amazing machine! I could listen to that sound all day long. Thanks for doing that one.

Joe, you are a joy to watch! Your passion and years of knowledge and wisdom come out. Just a pleasure to watch you performing your craft and trade. And watching this series has been a treat. I could sit and watch this model run all day as I've watched this series from beginning to end, with the ups and downs and corrections along the way. From one tradesman (I'm a third generation Locksmith) to another (you are a Mechinest) well done my friend! Can't wait for the next project you film

Hey Joe, That is soooo cool. Congratulations on a great build and letting us join in. I have learned so much. Your craftmanship is amazing. Thank You

CONGRATS!!!! That engine is running like a Swiss Watch and/or whatever you consider to be a thing of beauty and precision! 🙂

Absolutely beautiful piece of work, Joe!! Congratulations on a super job and presentation. Thanks for sharing!

Absolutely fantastic again. I watched all of the series and am in awe of the precision and clean cutting of all of the pieces. Wonderful. Thanks

Beautiful Joe. Also, you proved once again concerning Stuart prints...trust but verify. 😊

Well done Sir. Thank You for the time and efforts to share this with us.

It´works,it works.Amazing machine,Joe.Thank you.

Nice finish to a great build Joe, enjoyed every moment of it.

What a piece of art……that is just fantastic Joe Pie, your right, it is hypnotic, you can watch that machine all day… Thank you so much for having this great website and your knowledge of machines. Again thank you, Mike

Absolutely beautiful, & it runs like a Swiss watch! I feel like you got through this build quite quickly, I’m sure it felt a lot longer to you, but I was enjoying it so much the time just flew by. Every episode has been exceptional.

That was a wonderful project Joe - I enjoyed every video and learned a lot. The final result is magnificent!

Being a complete loop is important. That’s me okay then 🤪 Man, that first run was absolutely sweet!

Wonderful, another great journey comes to an end. I enjoyed every moment, and learned a lot. Thank you sir!

Excellent, nice smooth action at low revs too. 👍

Excellent series and well done sir! Thank you!

That’s awesome very nice to see it running. I enjoyed watching you do the machine work on those little parts.

Your creativity and skill as a machinist make for a beautiful engine...wish you could purchase it as a finished kit

Joe thats a beautiful engine. My homemade 2 cylinder Empire steam engine is on here. I milled frames and silver soldered together. Watching your vids is helping me greatly. I think you set the bar on this one!

Chalk up another work of art Joe, cant wait to see what's next.

Happy day Joe! FIRST CLASS job. And may flights of angels sing thee to thy rest tonight!

Fantastic work! For a hobbyist like myself, your involved commentary and shop-tips are extremely appreciated and helpful :)

Absolutely brilliant Joe

Beautiful job Joe, thanks for bringing us along!😊

That extra port is for locating a displacement lubricator.

Great job! I'm about to build my first steam engine model soon, so this series gave me a ton of helpful ideas and techniques.

Superb quality work Joe well done, doesn't the motion and movement of engineered parts just draw you in. Cheers.

I think it is fantastic and it would be amazing if you add a boiler to it because the look of steam coming out of the pipes makes it crazy beautiful please add a boiler to it thanks for your informative videos

Thank you Joe for another great build! Honestly you are amazing at how easy it appears these projects are for you and how accurate they turn out. . Just goes to show your knowledge and expertise. And your customers are lucky to have you doing their work. Gatlin gun next?

Many congratulations Joe!

Beautiful! I love seeing it run. Masterfully done.

Incredible! These are the best entertaining and educational videos on RU-vid! Thank you for sharing with us.

Nice to see her run Joe! thanks bud!

Joe, thank you for all your model projects. This was really GREAT.

An absolute stunner Joe Pie, like a fine timepiece...enjoyed this series immensely...sad to see it come to a close.

Great build. Awesome machining and attention to detail.

Thank you Joe for an outstanding build, it’s such a pleasure to see how you work and I’m learning every time. Hope you’ve got something new to make 👍. Best regards Andy. From the UK.
