If anyone is considering this project, I am in the process of editing some videos of how I made mine. They will be up on my YouTube channel hopefully this coming week... (They do take quite some time to edit.) Like or comment if you are interested on seeing them, and I'll ping you when they are...

It was a great little design. There was one section which was a little confusing. I cant remember which bit it was, but I'll check when I'm back in the workshop. Also, the plans didn't easily explain the pipe between the inlet pump and the outlet. Was worked out quite easily, but you may want to...

Follow the design and build of a Steam Wand for your steam plant / engine here: Comments and feedback welcome. I've several other videos there too. Let me know what you think. Kindest Regards, Delalio

So, back to the thread, I'd love to see a list of all the plans you have. I would probably be interested in some of them. Just getting started as a model engineer, so I'm always keen to look at new plans etc.

Hello All, So I upgraded a cheap £15 magnetic stand I bought at a model show last year. Made a video of it. Basically I re-threaded the mag base by drilling out then tapping, then had to make a small adaptor to go from the old thread (male) to the new (female). This video is slightly...

Gents, This little oilcan is an awesome little project. I built it over a few evenings last week. Hoping to have a video edited and uploaded of he entire process. Really cute little design, and works a treat! Body and base was machined from a solid piece of brass bar. (Plan says to use tube...

Great work. Do you have any drawings you would be willing to share? I've been considering making one of these for a while now... D

That is a beauty of a flywheel! Nice!

Hello Engineers of HMEM! I've posted a few new videos. I made a Honey Dipper for the Mrs, which is my latest video. If any of you are bored, please check them out. Always keen for more feedback. Click the image to see the vid! Also, gloves are gone! Thanks for the heads up!! Kindest...

That is a beauty of a setup! Very nice. Definitely want to see more pics of the full thing!! As for the burners I'm based in Ireland, so probably not much use to you. Polly Models in the UK are pretty damn good!! Cheers, Del

Now that is a gorgeous engine build. Well done sir!

I've had a look and subscribed back. These engines look awesome. I'm very impressed. Great work.

My limited experience so far regarding a file is to only use it when required, and also to hold both ends as Swarfrat says. Generally the handle with the left hand, and the tip with the right. (This does often get in the way of the camera, but safety comes first!) Additionally, I was told by...

Afternoon gents, Thanks for the feedback. And yes I agree, the jewelry should be removed and was probably ignorance or laziness. Re the gloves, I'd been recommended to wear gloves to prevent cuts and the like to hands. Especially when handling stock. However after doing a bit more research on...

This is a screenshot from one of the videos. I was quite pleased with YouTube's quality...

Hello all, So I've made a YouTube Channel for all my engineering works. It's called BestLathePlans, by recommendation from a friend. Only started the hobby about 18 months ago. Built a Stuart 10V already and about to start a Stuart S50 when some new reamers arrive. I created my channel about a...

I've been making a displacement lubricator literally the last 2 days. (Couple of hours each day) Been filming it in 4k too, to whack up on YouTube. Yours is a lovely display of craftmanship. Can you provide a few more photos of the drain valve? Am I right in thinking it is a single taper...

Been spending a lot of time in the workshop "isolating". Getting a lot more done than normal. Its pretty good. But, it comes at the cost of interacting with people during the day. I think it's best so stay away from everyone, not catch it, or spread it. Sure, our hobby is entertaining enough for...

This looks absolutely awesome. I am very jealous of your machining skills. With the world on a slow-down at the moment, I may crack out my Stuart S50 kit that I have in the bottom of my lathe cabinet. Although, it won't look as good as yours. Great work. Do you have a nice video of it running...

This is an impressive build and you should be very proud!! Keep the pics coming...
