Nice work, I was hoping to see the gear cutting though

@@stuartbridger5177 Thanks. We Will be doing a video one the gear shaper. We have to get the crank back in before we can do that so will have to be in a future video.

if you heat the shroud a bit, when you are ready to permeantly fit it, itll drop down nicely on to the gear...

@@steam_fan definitely 👍 wanted it a tight fit.

Nice video, but it does get rather mumbly every now and then. Are you using a clip-on microphone? If not, you could try that. As for soft inserts for the jaws, I have seen a good solution on the channel of CEE Australia. He has made copper strips, and gave them a 90 deg bend and a small hole. He then drilled and tapped holes in the front of the jaws so he could screw the strips on. He made something similar for when the jaws are inside out. All this is on a video, worth looking at. Good luck with the rebuild.

Thanks we bought a new camera as previously had issues with videos disappearing. We now have picked up some sound issues. Will get it fixed hopefully soon. Yes the copper jaws seems to be the way to go.

Cracking vid Norman!👌. Nice little bit on its history with you at the start (gets us on the right page😆😁) lathe work is something I’d love to know about but it’s still black magic to me. Oh and what’s with the steam crane!?!😍😁

@@casto- cheers 👍 cane is an isels rail mounted crane. I will likely do a video on taking it to a steam rally in the coming weeks. Should be interesting as it’s the first time taking it out.
