Hahaa, it all looks like its floppin about,like a cock in a sock.Guess thats why they call it a beginers kit.Reamed eh? Maybe you should of reamed the hole in the upright for the crank shaft too,maybe waited till the morning to turn your piston o_O?, ...Blah blah blah. Anyhow,nice vid,hope it snares some young steam engineers into the hobby,its informative and thanks for posting it.

Great video and an excellent explanation of how it works. I'm building a similar engine called Dodi, which I started about 12 years ago. :) I finally decided to finish it.

@sciman001 what about other tools? offcourse you can drill a hole in a squareformed piece and buy a round piece of metall and so on but lathe is veeeeeeery helpfull:) mill is also a good thing:D
one thin i dnt understand once the piston comes down hw will it come up... because oscillating steamengine has a inlet and outlet on top and bottom too. could you please specify

@denni4job It comes back up due to centripetal force created by the flywheel

@luxibabi I was referring to creating steam (e.g. a boiler) for such a small project.
