Long walk for that stem bolt joke, but what a view.

[avoirdupois]

Quinn has such great commentary! The puns are on point.

[JeremyMakesThings]

I’m really glad you covered this part of the build.

[ryanneumann]

Self sealing stem bolt. Nice reference, Lieutenant Commander Dunki. 🖖

[RonCovell]

I love your consistently steamy content!

As a machinist for more than forty years, I call a 2 flute center cutting end mill, a 2 flute center cutting end mill.

I saw the self-sealing-stem-bolt joke coming, but was still unprepared for it when it landed. 🤣

[djmoulton]

So glad to meet up with someone who actually knows what the heck a self-sealing stem bolt is. Cheers!

That video made me realize just how hot some of the parts you make can get you done a great job looks good

[prettypinkpansy]

found this channel on ytch and very nice, very soothing and soft narration and lovely video!

[frankwalker]

That is gorgeous! Those cover-cover-cover-covers 'clean up' the steam chests a lot. Much more pleasing to the eye. Thanks once again for an awesome video, Quinn! 🙏

[heighRick]

This steamy content is wonderful, thanks Quinn, helps a lot!

[llapmsp]

Well done! Really makes a big difference in appearance. Keep up the great work.

[dermotkelly]

I love those covers you made! That collet chuck is just the job.

[Esti.duPreez]

I'm one minute in and I already want a cover, covers total count fro this video! l love this series!

Oh hey there Quinn, being Mighty as usual I see. On the purpose of the covers, I have to believe that part of the reason was to protect the insulation lagging that was used to maintain the cylinder temperature. Wouldn’t want cold weather to be robbing your horsepower now I bet. And you also don’t need wet lagging, same principle. And having it protected from the elements, also serves to protect anyone who might come in contact with them, as steam is rumored to be rather warm. Your covers are very nice and close fitting, leaving no space for any lagging, but as it is a model, it will not be a big deal. Nice video, hi from Germany

I wonder how much gold pressed Latium those self sealing stem bolts are these days?

[joepalazzolo]

Outstanding machine work. You are one of the best!

[Scodiddly]

A great video. Once again you’ve done a great job covering the work.

[brettcaldwell]

Those covers look fantastic! Such great work as always.
