I was going to look at it in the 5 axis, but I'm not 100% of the depth/wall thickness of the cylinder wall. I think it maybe 3/32" ?

Lagging = copper or brass sheet metal that wraps around the cylinder, theoretically with insulation under it, though you don't need the...

I'm going with the small original Ramond Yates drawings, 5/8" piston. I can still recess around the cylinder, if that's an advantage...

So what design did you end up going for and what size? Although I often fabricate my cylinders or manually cut from solid I have done...

Well I've made a start...although I do admit to cheating, as a work colleague machined this on his 5 axis...

Craig- You are totally not getting the point I was trying to make. I was referring to how a silver solder failure like that would...

Think she is great!

Sorry...what? It seems that quite a lot of people like her channel because she shows her mistakes and how she recovers from them and...

I have looked at that one too! There's too many to choose from! I'd prefer an eccentric driven model, as opposed to a wobbler. Thanks!

Not sure why you think that. You do know that she pressure-tested the boiler at least a couple of times in the video series to 1.5...

I have followed along with blondihacks from time to time, and she started building boilers. I think she botched the boiler in this...

Thankyou! I just think, it's a steam engine....not a compressed air engine.....I would most likely only test run it on air, but ideally...

It all depends on what you want to do with the engine. If built reasonably well without tight spots but equally without sloppy fits then...

I operate my steam engines on compressed air, for demonstration. I have built and operated a boiler in the past, but that too was for...

What operating pressure would this engine require, in terms of steam, and boiler size?
