I thought the instructions say you are not to steam them?

Nice video Philip....just realized I have the number just following yours in the production run...mine is #51.

They are indeed smooth runners.  Just ran mine with a gas burner for the first time the other day...even nicer still without the smell of meths.

I think you should show it running at a range of speeds Phillip, so we can see how smooth it is, or is there NO throttle on these?
