Hi there, Just to say thank You for doing these videos. I come in from My garage after a days engineering to watch...well You Engineering!! Just to be clear I'm not a model maker so don't worry I won't be telling You how to do Your job. I would call Myself more of an "angle grinder engineer" and most of My tools and machines came from aldi, but if You are careful You can do a lot with just some simple machines. I successfully skimmed the cylinder barrels on My 2cvflat twin engine and got an 11:1 compression ratio, just using My aldi pillar drill, an angle grinder disc, a cheap dial test indicator, a piece of glass, and some valve grinding paste. anyway thanks for taking the time to make KZfaq videos, I tried but just couldn't do it so it's appreciated. After watching Your video about the mamod TE1 A I found out My mamod TE1 A My childhood toy from the 60's it's still in it's box complete with all the parts and a mamod leaflet stamped with My local toy shop, just as it was on the day when My Mum banned Me from getting it out and lighting it.... as I had set fire to My cousin!! also wardrobe, carpet etc .Boy were those meths burners fun!! ; - ) ps, a good source of nice old mahogany is old antique broken furniture. I got a Victorian Pembroke table as scrap for £2.50 I took it to bits, then reworked the top into a dashboard for My classic car,. You see old mahogany furniture is south American mahogany it's a little bit darker and not as stripey grain and in My opinion looks much more period. and it's good to recycle and upcycle. anyway just thought You might like that tip Best Wishes Jahmahrah

The "Hammerite Pot Black" is not only fast drying, it is really fast to paint with also !!

Just added you to the folks I support on patreon. I hope you find it useful. ; ) Keep up the good work.

Its great to see the finished project, am so desperate to find a table top lathe that is cheap enough locally but seems the locals round here hang onto things like that so will keep on trying as your videos have been an inspiration and I have grown out of the Mamod types and want to tackle a Stuart kit as I have a beautiful hand built small boiler just waiting. I did enjoy all your other vids too and thanks for the vape headsup :)

Haven't heard anyone refer to leslies in decades. Real popular when I was younger.

After watching your videos for so long I just had to get off my behind and make my first engine. It's a piece of garbage but it does run. I've also realized that model engineering is very addictive.

aww that beautiful copper was painted

YEAH! PAINTING!

I really like your videos. Very helpful!!

I would also say that your videos while good for beginners are also good history lessons too, for repairs and building of an era that's been long gone, I am of course referring to the steam era

Keith I know your a pro musician. Loved the music. Reminds me of a Celentano song I really like. In either case, wanted to extend my thanks to you for giving back.

Gee, I thought you made these videos, especially the ones with painting, to help us all fall into a coma when our meds run out. Thanks a bunch.

Yeah, youtube ad revenue has really been hurting the last few months. I love seeing the work you do! I know that feeling of wanting to put something back out.

Keith, sometimes, I use your "painting" clips FOR my meds! Thanks again, Keith. steve

Almost choked as I was just taking my blood pressure pills when you painting montage came on - I was indeed taking my medication! :)

Hi Keith it has turned out a really fine looking boiler and the black paint enhances it. I hope that you get more people signing up you deserve to get something out of this especially when we benefit from your videos, and I can imagine the work that goes into editing. Thank you regards John

I like painting time!

We appreciate you Keith!

Congrats on this series Keith. Well done.

I really enjoyed the whole series. Love your humor...some really cracked me up. I felt compelled to send a donation for your great work, thank you !

Its a work of art!!

I was just thinking ... one of these large sanding video's you should do a shot of the sawdust falling to the ground after sanding or blowing the sawdust away ... then you would have something to change up with paint drying ;)

Oh dear.....5 years ago?.....My dude, are you still around? I love your clips! Nemo_

YES!! Paint! ;)

Loved the video! Keep up the awesomeness!

Thank You

You are a really fast painter!

Ive been watching these videos for so long, and didnt even know you had a patreon account.. ill go over and sort that out now

Thanks for a great build video series..... I now have a visit to the English steam society outing on my bucket list..... through the miracle of DNA testing I found out I'm mostly English and Irish .... though I was French all of my life ... so I'm now saying chip chip Cherri'o instead of viva la France

For a moment there with the string I thought we would be deprived of a paint related sequence.

Painting time!

Could the expression, "steam like a witch" be a reference to the Lancashire Witch built by Robert Stephenson and Company in Newcastle-upon-Tyne in 1828. It was a development of Locomotion.

At 80psi the boiling point of water is nearly 300f. It hadn't occurred to me just how much hotter it would be at pressure.

Keith: been meaning to comment on your last remark for a few days now, so here goes...I think my contribution I make to you via Patreon is great value! I get to see some great videos and I also get to control how much I pay monthly. Personally, I would like to see you get rid of those bloody annoying ads and hopefully get the income you deserve just from folk who think you are worth it. I believe there are more of us out there, you perhaps just need to get the message across. Point out how easy it is, and that you can place an upper limit on monthly donations...you do a great job on your vids but I think you need to "sell" yourself a bit more/better.(an Aussie bloke who's model railway scenery construction videos I also contribute to is now up to 400 bucks a month, a little over a year since he started!) You're worth it man!

We all appreciate all the work you put into these videos Keith, but if you feel it gets too much work, you could maybe drag something interesting out, and do a kind of show and tell. I think many of the things and engines you having laying about, might make a interesting video, and that would might not require as much work.

It's a good job you didn't get that Hammerite Pot Black on the mahogany, Keith, otherwise you'd have been snookered! I'll get me coat!

darn it Keith paint brush was too big i didn't get to enjoy my meds long enough.... was not sure how i would like the boiler painted black i was thinking polished up and a clear coat would look nice but it actually looks super nice in black. very nice boiler plant well done

I wish I could paint that fast.... :P

Would it make any sense to sand some wood and make a paste of the dust to fill the gaps? Just a thought.

yaaa Painting ......

The music reminds me of Steven Seagal movies

When you do your magic paint erasing, does the effect of my medication reverse as well?

Hello Keith, I know you said it was Hammerite pot black... Is that the direct to rust metal paint? Looking to paint mine...

Summer is a bad time of year for views

Hmm... while the black paint is nice, I can't help but feel it upsets the balance with the copper chimney and firebox rivets since the rest isn't copper anymore. Maybe the chimney needs painting as well?

I was wondering if you could preheat and preshrink the mahogany strips before making the cladding instead of having to do the patchwork after it has been installed and the boiler run.

Oh man that different color board makes my eye twitch.

you should make a video completly filt with paintng thats like 24 hours long

Keith, any chance you could identify the music in the painting interlude, please?

Oh, I know what you mean.... I was reminded of a former girlfriend from long ago, by a busted gear box of a Ford fiesta a few years ago..... odd things these memories.... I managed to fix the gear box though... Paddy

The only thing that you haven't shown is punching (cleaning) the boiler tubes.

Would you be able to build me a boiler

What? No horrorshow music this time?

We always get to see you paint the parts, but you always cut the video before we get to see it dry. You should include this in your videos. I think your viewers would greatly appreciate it.
