Wood Beam Engine Video

[SAM in LA]

I put a new video together for my Wood Beam Engine earlier this month. I meant to post it but life interfered with my pleasure.

I hope you enjoy it.

If you haven't seen my build log, it is located on HMEM in the “A Work in Progress” section.

Great video Sam, it appears that you added some weights in the rim of the flywheel. It seems to be helping. Terrific build, well done.

Great job Sam. I enjoyed your build log and the video. The dark wood and brass are a nice contrast. Thanks for sharing your efforts with us. :bow:

Cheers,

Jim,

You are correct, I added some brass slugs to the flywheel and it runs a bit more smoothly. Thanks for the encouragement.

Thank you all for the compliments.

The video was an interesting experience. I started out taking a picture after each part was installed. I ended up scraping those pictures because the engine frame kept getting moved around. I then took a picture after each part or assembly was removed. This worked better. The colors are not accurate. I took these pictures in the dining room. The ceiling above the lights is a rose color which gave an aged look to the pictures. That is what led me to using (Philharmonische Vereinigung Arte Sinfonica, Heribert Brandt - "Türkischer Tanz" From Sonata No. 11, KV 331) as the soundtrack.

Thanks again guys, it was fun.

Highest regards,

SAM

Beautiful job Sam !! Despite the bad rap that the "brown" stuff sometimes get's on here ;D, the contrash of the wood and the brass is very pleasing to look at and the slow speed operation you have achieved is a sure sign of a lot of TLC and precision in the build. Again, a fantastic job!!
