Twin Cylinder Steam Engine
Darren:
Hi Guys, I did consider that and also came to the conclusion that it would be difficult with that design.
Saying that it looks simple, but I would imagine a new head etc could be made later if desired with reverse facilities?
I don't this slate would have a problem with steam, but threading it would be a problem. Probably bonded threaded sleeves or the bolts would have to go right through.
Bonding to it is a simple matter, I have plenty of the correct adhesive, enough to last all of us our lifetimes !!! It's an epoxy based compound that I guess could also be threaded once it has hardened. It was only a thought, I prob won't use it as it adds too many complications at this/my early stage.

Hey Darren, if you do down load Bogs engine you'll find it a very entertaining read. He has a very good sense of humor in his write up. See if you can find them.
I got the biggest kick out of finding one of the humorus things Bogs put in one of the pics.

Well I've made a start, Four little 5mm thick SS discs with a 4.5mm hole in the middle. I'll drill or bore them out to 5mm when the Silver Steel ordered arrives.
I might even make a tiny boring bar from the Silver Steel rod......but I'll have to do some reading first.

If you only knew how I giggled like a little kid over that one. :D I even had to show the wife. She even got a chuckle out of it.
