Beautiful work as always, Mark.

Hi Mark Many thanks for a great project. I learnt so much! Mid summer here in the UK and it's not much warmer than where you are!

Absolutely wonderful! Beautifully finished and perfectly engineered. I have looked forward to every episode of this build. Thank you.

Great series of videos with you work on the pump. Looks fantastic, your attention to detail is amazing. Thanks for sharing.

Absolutely beyond beautiful, mate! Love the color! Is there ANYTHING you can't do?!?!?! Cheers!

Beautiful finished product, a truly great demonstration of persistence and patience. Well done Preso, cheers!

👍❤👍

Fantastic. I like the colour. Well done. I'm planning a 3inch OD coal fired boiler as a scratch made portable engine so I look forward to seeing your boiler when you get to it.

It isn't difficult to think of many applications that would benefit from the "precision" filing capability possible with this set up.

Let's run this "on air" boom boom😊. Nice job Preso!

Great job. I assume you put that drive wheel in the lathe because it looks like it runs quite true. Have you ever done a video on converting that stove for powder coating?

Hi Mark, I wanted to take a moment to commend you on the outstanding engine build. Your craftsmanship and attention to detail are truly exceptional. The performance of the engine is impressive, and the finish you achieved is fantastic. It’s clear that you put a lot of skill and dedication into this project, and the results speak for themselves. Great job!

Hi Mark, lovely engine....interesting colour scheme 😉🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Beautifully done !

The flywheel balance is "Good enough for Australia" 😅

The finished article looks really great, your attention to detail is fantastic.

Absolutely delightful. The finished engine is a beauty. I never considered powder coating at home before - the finish is excellent. The photolith process took me back to my days working as a process engineer in a semiconductor fab - your attention to detail really paid off there. The name and nameplate are excellent finishing touches. Aaaaaaaaaaaand…….THANK YOU! Really appreciate the channel mention. Greatly appreciated!

Nice work.... curious to know where you obtained the gasket material.

Beautiful work Mark.

Enjoyed…great build/finish/video production

As always such exemplary work Mark. A most enjoyable and educational build from finish to glorious end. Well done. 👏👏👍😀

Thanks Mark. Nice tip on SM Components. Never heard of them. I had a quick look and they have some interesting stuff. Bookmarked! Regarding your power coating masking, I wonder if you could use latex to mask some of the more intricate parts like on the flywheel. Not sure if that would work. Maybe it would depend on whether it's conductive? 🤔 The engine looks great!

What a testament to your skill set Mark - not only the machining but the exemplary finishing nicely shows off the range of skills you have developed. Always a pleasure to watch and such a source of learning, hints & tips and inspiration. Looking forward to your next project. Thanks as always, Nick

Lovely looking engine

Have enjoyed all of your builds, unlike you, I came from a woodworking hobby of building wooden models as can be seen in my u tube, to now building a Farm Boy stationary engine and also the Rob Roy loco. So will look forward to seeing that build when you get back on it.

Gday Preso, I’m always amazed be the finishing processes you use, the name plate etching is something I’ve never seen done before and the finish plate is absolutely amazing, the choice of colours in my eyes is spot on and really suits the engine nicely and I didn’t know that cast iron could be powder coated, love your work mate, cheers

Worked as a screen printer (and in a dark room every day) for many years using very similar systems. Your double layer of the negative is causing your issues I'd say. Light is refracting and reflecting because the black in each image is only on one side, leaving a clear thickness of plastic allowing light to bleed. You could try printing one in pos and one flipped to get the carbon on the same side when sandwiched together or just use one.

well Mark nice process from the etching through to the powder coat and final running but i have lost faith in you now and am not enjoying your video's anymore since you did the draw on the DIE HOLDER i am sorry but have to leave now Cheers all best for your future projects 😥😢

Love what you can do! The Stuart Turner turned up a treat! (Please excuse the pun.) I used to build large telescopes, now I build tiny model ones and can share in your frustration with the smaller "fittings". I go down to 14BA with some of the ones do.

Excellent!

Beautiful steam engine Mark! Congratulations!

Looks to be running quite well. I find that color a bit different but very pleasing! Good choice.

A mount for a dremel might be handy for less precision.

Beautiful little engine , something to be really proud of. You did an awesome job on it .

Another great engine build. I like the colors. A while ago I made some brass coins with etched faces and bypassed the fiddling with uv foil and such by just spray painting it and then use the laser to remove the to be etched area. Came out great, can send you pics if interested

Beautiful piece of work, it's still on my todo list to make something along the lines of that, but in cast Aluminium, but I have just spent 10 weeks building a Tool & Cutter grinder using my own castings and ideas and I think I've had enough of that just for the time being, again, well done. 👍 PS, I really should go and get some stickers made and send you one so you can add Thailand to your map.

Great Job Mark! I watch all of your videos, you do Great work!

Great series Mark. The finishes you chose are spot-on. Two problems: 1: the project is done 2: you need to put out a vid, every day. 😂 Seriously, you have a great channel, with a tasty mix of information and execution. One of my favorite channels, regardless of content. Regards, Duck

Another upvote for SM Components I have made a few purchases off his Evilbay store and prompt and some good sometimes slightly offbeat parts 👍👍

Lovely engine! The finish is spot on. Mike

Mark , great job on the powder coat and a smooth runner .I use this stuff called O' Keeffe's working hands for dry cracked hands , it might help you out . Gotta take care of those hands bro ,latter

Beautiful! Really enjoyed, thanks

Hi Mark, Great job well done, it has been a great build from start to finish thank you, 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

Great vid first class build 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Hey Mark. Thankyou. I'm progressing in my pursuit of home engineering. Thanks to the content of you tube and others. I'm so greatful for your effort.Cheers mate

if you submerge it in oil and then put it in vacuum chamber you will impregnate the porous Mn-phospate coating with oil much better.

Thanks! Noted

Thanks for the video, and damn the complainers and scammers , I think it was very generous of you to have the give away and that it does not detour you from possibly doing something similar in the future. Best to you !

Mate….. you are extremely generous. Congrats to the winners of these ‘bespoke’ tools 👏 Regards Robert

Mark,, I have just become the Australian Distributor for Anchorlube a cutting fluid for mills, lathes and drills, if you would like to try a sample and could give me your opinion or the product just send me your postal address regards Frank
