Gonna try this for the first time on some aluminum, so this was very helpful. Thank you!

What stops one fitting tyres to a model locomotive? Maybe even tires?

Hot Chick Alert . Great video. I would have to buy 100 of those tiny snap rings to get 1 on

You do amazing work. Wish I had the time and place to do something like that myself. But hopefully, in a few years, I'll be retired and have fun with my lathe more myself. Great video, Quinn.

QUICK QUESTION: if the table was moved all the way to the right (Z) and placed a mark now move the table to the left all the way. Now take a measurement Trying to see if i have ample room to place a mill like yours thanks

Very well explained. Thank you!

Hay sorry I’m sure it’s been asked many many times (can’t see it in the list) what is the turning tool called? Thank you 😊😊😊

Such attention to detail

Always a pleasure to watch your videos.

Some of the narration approaches the Red Green Show, which I consider to be a compliment (with respect to the narration). The machine work is just top notch! Videos like these are a perfect blend of craftsmanship (or craftswomanship) and humor. Awesome!

Quinn, any tips on timing a twin Cylinder LBSC "Molly" with Stephenson Link motion. Can I time one Cylinder and then the other, based on the method you show in this video? I assume that the non adjusted side would just be driven by the "Timed side, until both are adjusted?

LOL on "oh, it's an e-clip". :-D

Those turned out great!

I can't wait to see this thing running. Keep up the good work!

Those dry-erase surfaces are quite… re-markable 😂

Hello Quinn. I always love watching your videos, but I’ve never had a method for doing things that was better than yours that would lead me to comment…until now! I’ve been restoring a lathe so I’ve had to tape off countless machined surfaces, and the two best ways I have found to do this is to tape the whole surface and either: 1. Use a file and drag it along the edge of the tape /machined surface to weaken it enough that you can peel it off (this leaves a bit of a chamfer which may not be ideal in all cases) or 2. Use a rubber or plastic mallet to gently hit the edge of the machined surface to cut the tape and allow you to pull it off. Either method I have found to work really well in almost any situation. It leaves really clean lines and is generally faster than cutting the tape. Hope this helps and thanks for the great videos!

I don't have a lathe, but at least this time I do have tap and die set

9:42 Yahtzee has now been (rightfully) upgraded to a verb.😁

Loved the "gun show"

A bit late before I finally got to see this. Great video as usual. When heat treating small parts pinch an idea from Clickspring and put them in a wire cage with a grab hook. This makes dunking them in the oil or water quick and easy without the risk of them flying out of the pliers (don't ask how I know this can happen). Another Clickspring trick is to embed the cage in a slurried paste of borax and alcohol (ethanol not iPA) which means they are not covered in slag

I for one applaud your blatant display of our 2nd Amendment rights! (I kid, I realize it's a strictly US thing). Nothing better than a properly sharp drill bit. Watching two chips form on a drilling operation for me is satisfying.

I'm always very content with your content!

Love the content Quinn! Gun show and sweet chip flying action and everything! You are absolutely right the full size locomotives have centers in the pins and axle ends. Both because that’s how they were made, AND because you use that center later to measure and adjust the drivers, rods and valve gear so that the engine is square and in tram. I watch this and I’m like “oh no, how will she shim the drivers into tram without shoes and wedges?!?” And then I realize you can just machine it all on one machine so you can hold MUCH better tolerances on the frames than Baldwin ever did!

Never boring Thank you

woah, i didnt know i had tickets to a gun show!!:D

That tangential tool always messes with my brain, its such an unusual geometry and something about seeing it on a flat screen doesn't let my eyes process how it works. Either way, love seeing the progress. Powder coating is fun to watch. Sort of in a paint drying sort of way?

Thanks Quinn

TKS

"Ope! Sorry, Yahtzee." Does it get any more Canadian?

Love seeing the progress on this locomotive! You’ve done a great job building it! Keep up the good work!

😍

“Because it makes the shop smell like French fries.” Is at risk of becoming another Blondihacks catchphrase.

Another superb Quinn production with all the educational gems lightly sprinkled throughout. Oh and the 'Circlip fitting scene' narrative had me laughing out loud..! 🤣 Brilliant, thank you!

Blondi youre videos are terrific.Not rushed ..excellant

Oh how I wish there were a double like button. The learning and the humor are great. Ordered the special pliers and did not need them. That is good stuff right there.

Yay!! It's Blondihacks time!!!

Quin. I've been a secret watcher of your channel for several seasons. I just wanted to say that I love your channel! Your explanations are straightforward and you methods are rock solid and practical. Your sense of humor also infuses your presentations and makes them very 'watchable'. As a railroad fan and a wannabe machinist, I will continue to check in on your progress with the switcher and your other projects. Thanks for providing such a gem of a UA-cam experience! Best Regards from Minnesota!

Thank you 👍This Saturday morning is for catching up on my favourite YT channels.

Could the steel wheels be shrunk on model sized cast wheels or do the physics on miniaturization present some problems🤔

I am delighted to hear acetone dissolves powder coating. I’ve been sanding it off like an idiot and it always clogs the sandpaper.

Mark Novak(youtube gunsmith) was working on some luger parts he wanted to make a nice straw yellow, and he said(at least for that steel he was using) the temperature for that was around 200°F. So he boiled them, because that meant they couldn't get hotter than 212°F I don't know if that's useful to you, but you can never have too many tricks of the trades.

Hi Quin, my similar shop oven goes to temper temperature (it is a kitchen temperature you need) so i stick my parts in the oven. No chance of overheating, works on larger parts as well, and you can do stuff while the parts are baking

Quinn - don't touch your Loctite nozzle to metal, it causes a catalytic reaction in the Loctite and is why nozzles block up.

I'm new to all this and what you put up is incredibly useful to me 🙏. Thank you so much.

I remember my Dad once improvised circling pliers with a length of cycle spoke bent into a long U, ground the ends true and used regular pliers on that. Fiddly but it got him out of the hole……

Can you whip the portaband out of its stand and use that over the lathe for parting off ? ?

Beautiful work !

Choo-choo!

"if it's stupid but it works, it wasn't stupid" - some real person, probably

I like how Yahtzee has become a verb.
