I find the older I get the more interested I am in old technology. Steam engines fascinate me :)

Great job 👍👍👍 I like your high tech hydraulic pressure tester 👍🤣 Cheers, Alan.

Nice video. Re flanging, do you think that 3D printing flange blocks could be applied on some if not all components?

[timothyboles]

Interesting that you didn't flange the boiler end caps. How think of material did you use?
I've heard about people talking about doing a small boiler this way, but hadn't seen anyone do it

Sir. I am intrigued by how the firebox end plate was fitted over the top boiler bushing, did you make a clearance hole without showing us?

[johngroenen]

What is the thickness of the copper plate?
I am playing with the idea of making a new boiler with firebox for my wilesco roller

7:17 - no flanges on the bronze plate?

As a kid, I remember every Mamod steam engine ran by throwing hot water across the room. Crap design, with crap tolerances. Good luck improving this one.

Nice work! Have you ever seen a "turbo torch" used in refrigeration tubing and piping ? It has different size tips that you can control the heat with when brazing.
