Instagram: mr_crispin In this video I start work on the slide bars for my live steam locomotive. A 1965 Deckel FP1 is the primary machine used in this footage. The Locomotive is a 5" B1 Springbok
Ma, I'm glad you're back at it! Thanks for stepping us through your thought process, we all approach things differently and I appreciate learning from others' experiences.
Another gem of a video Mr C. Love the attention to detail in your setups which demonstrates the Pareto principle perfectly. 80% setup - 20% machining time. Fab.
Excellent video MrCrispin, I'm not building a steam engine, but the processes work for other types of machining as well (vintage motorcycle engines). Thanks for sharing.
Dear Mr Crispin thank you for this video and i must admit i had a really good laugh at your brothers toothbrush clip that you insirtèd. Thank you for that im glad to see that people can do serious work and still have a good time all at once. Regards Cobus Swanepoel
WELL? I spent part of the day milling bufferbeams on our Mill and I spend the evening watching MILLING!!! Loved the hiding of the TOOTHBRUSH. We have a member with a B1 in the Reading Club. Love David and Lily.
A dangerous man, he whose toothbrush has been misappropriated for cleaning a milling machine. Will we ever get to see part 2 now that he knows? Great video, thank you Mr Crispin. Dean in Oxfordshire.
Great content....I never give enough thought to clamping and you have reminded of the importance. Thanks for that. And, given your definition, it seems my entire life may be a "planned demonstration" especially my first marriage!
Nice to see progress, bit surprised on machining method, if I had been planning out such components I would have drill and reamed at an early stage, added dowel pins for rigidity and aliment before milling ops. There again I've not got that many clamps so would have had to find another way of holding them. Enjoyed banter, thanks for giving me a chuckle.
@@MrCrispinEnterprises No, it really compliments the action.The synchronicity between top quality engineering and top quality music really seems to have a lot of resonance. They are both part craft and part art? ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-rahcNVOWjRE.html
That was excellent as always. I do have a few questions but I will wait for the next part where I know they will all be answered, and I will end up slapping my forehead whilst exclaiming loudly "why didn't I think of that".
Most Royal Marine Commando Captains that I've come across have been "muscle bosun's" and because Royal Marine Commandos are part of the Royal Navy, they're not allowed to wear a moustache, it's clean shaven or a full set (full beard,) unless they're in combat in the theatre of operations. Royal Marines Bandsmen/women are different, but they're not commandos, and I've seen some wicked moustaches on the bugle players and the males have some good facial hair too! 😂🤣😂 as for Mr Crispin's brother, I suggest that he heads to Poundland or Poundstretcher and invests in a fivers worth of toothbrushes and hides a few around the place (but not in his washbag) so he's always got a toothbrush in reserve.
Either that or they're doing a remake of the battle of Britain or the Dam Busters and he has scored a part 😂 Come to think of it Crispin would make for a pretty convincing Barnes Wallace 🤣
Dirt traps at the ends of the side bars, if the crosshead slightly overlaps these, this will prevent a wear ridge being formed, this technique was also used on high-class steam engines, on the slide valve face, it also makes re-surfacing easier.
Mr Crispin, I hope you stash your toothbrush in a well hidden place, especially when your brother is on latrine duty. Also, by the looks of your mill table, someone should have used a sacrificial piece on it in the past. Now to catch up with your latest vids. Cheers mate.
I thought you were reaming the holes so you could fit gauge pins to them to keep the stack aligned and stop the ends spreading while you milled the slot, but clearly you have other things in mind!
Looks like the locomotive in the photograph was painted in "Works grey" or "Photographic grey", specifically to make it pop in B/W photographs and in prints. There's a dedicated wiki-page on that color.
Another great video! Fitted bolts is my guess. It must be nice making things with a fair degree of confidence you'll end up with what you want. It's always hit and miss until the part is finished with me :( But I'm a software 'engineer', not a machinist. And no, I don't believe computer programmers are engineers - that's ridiculous.
LOL Great video Mr. C, as always great detail and as always love the hat toss and now really liking the added humor with your brothers tooth brush that weve heard so much of in the past-lol I see a nice tit for tat series coming up-! lol
I'm going to stop laughing sometime next week 🤣 What person fast forwards a Crispin video ?? I may have rewound many times but NEVER used fast forward ! First class video Crispin !
@@MrCrispinEnterprises I do hope you are going to keep making your videos in the same format - a bit of a laugh to start with then down to the matter at hand then finishing up with a bit more comedy ! Must confess - I have fallen madly in love with your milling machine !
@@flyerphil7708 The reason is because the threads of a screw or bolt are not concentric with the center axis. They are rolled threads. The screw will probably go in but it will be tight all the way in and not hold the true center. That is why they use tubular dowels to do the precise locating, with the screw running thru the center of it and clearance for the main body of the screw so it is able to turn in and out easily. Ask me how I know this :).
@@toolmike100 and the final heat treatment often moves the dimensions out of round. As you say,not a reliable method unless the bolts,are precisely made with the thread screwcut and the plain shank concentrically machined/ground as finished article.
@@howardosborne8647 True, but then you better single point thread the hole also. I doubt a tap will go in perfectly straight or cut perfectly on center. It's a lot of work to accomplish what a dowel or even spring pin was designed to do.
More than six years now building this locomotive as far as I see. What do you think, what will be first: Finishing the locomotive or humans landing on Mars? *g*
@@MrCrispinEnterprises And because of that I'm glad you didn't. ;-) I really love your videos! For example I've learned a lot about proper use of (another ones) toothbrushes.
If you make something like your pointer or reall anything , i would buy it, or do a patreon maybe? Would love to support you so you can do more vids! Cheers!
Well done Crispin. With regards to the magazines, apparently they will only accept USA cheques or Money transfer. Andrew Whale had that trouble and luckily a kind viewer in the USA ordered them for him and posted to the UK. If you go to the 24 minute mark on this video you can see the magazines. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-13Q5lwVdao4.html Stay Safe and Well and STOP winding your Brother up. LOL Regards from Australia.
I'm puzzled as to why you have so much meat in your sandwich. It appears to me that you only need 2 short pieces, one at either end. 2 short pieces - 2 short planks ? one with toothbrush & one without ?
7 Clamps? Your not trying hard enough! In my vertical turning days I did some 1150mm diameter Rings out of inconel. 36 clamps holding them down, and they still weren't parallel.
