Would love to hear your ideas on how I can fix this valve component to have the adjustment I’d like with less chance of a bolt coming loose! Please do check out and grab a few pairs of MeUndies - I was wearing one of my pairs today, very comfy 😅 meundies.com/forge
-
2:51 "should be good as new" I'm sure it will be, because it was shite to begin with 🤣
-
11:22 Jamies quiet "ooh yeah" had me crying
-
Here in the US I’ve been taught that the shiny one is a combination wrench (because it has both open and box sections) the adjustable one is always called either a crescent wrench or adjustable wrench, the the third is called a ratcheting socket wrench.
-
Your seals joke was 10/10!
-
"i paid a toddler to do my engineering drawings" made me spit out my water
-
Steam pressure should force the rotary valve against its seat, so there isn't a need for any kind of pressure screw. At least on valve chests in locomotives it works - and automatically compensates for wear, too!
-
Just a tip before you go off loading that thing with steam is maybe pressure test your fine work to some amount based off of a best guess of operating pressure. If any of your packings/flanges/threads/unions leak you'll be able to fix it without dealing with steam.
-
Nearly there! Can't wait to see this thing in action, been my favorite series so far!
-
I've never been this early on an Alec Steele video before!
-
I never thought I would be as invested in you rebuilding this glorious power hammer as I was years ago when you made your first katana. Coming along nicely, cant wait for you to break her in with a fresh project when it's all said and done!
-
I literally yelled "YAY! " the moment I saw your video go up. I love drawing while I listen and watch you craft and do your own arts. Such lovely videos ^^.
-
This series's and the mini power hammer have restored my love for this channel. Not that I didn't like it but I didn't wait for content. Now I'm waiting for every update on this project like the old days
-
US Version: Cresent wrench is what most call adjustable variety. Crescent is a brand known for making those wrenches. Wrench for the fixed variety. Ratchet for the thing sockets go on.
-
Cardboard-cutout-Alec looks so happy in the thumbnail. I like the thumbnails for this series.
-
14:48 No that is what is called a ratchet!
-
Part 14?? Love your work man.. Keep up the good work.
-
I'd love to see all of the wastage/shavings from all of the machining of the different materials for the different components combined into parts of a sword or something which is forged using the completed hammer
-
I have limited metalworking experience, but I feel pot committed into seeing the end result of this project.
