Plodding along far more slowly than Russell here today -- plowed snow (though not nearly as much as anticipated) but the wind and cold temps made it very unpleasant.
This evening I did get 20 minutes in the shop. I flattened more pipe, and hacksawed and roughed it to shape as a start on the head. It will be two layers thick when done -- this one will have a hole a little larger than the bore to give a bit more clearance volume. And I think I'll just groove the top of it for a steam passage to the valve chamber.
The second piece will braze down over the first. It will be narrower to allow space for screws around the edge. That's the plan, now, anyway...... :coffee:

Would it be worth trying some of the thicker type grease, - Say that white stuff the name of which I cannot recall? Ok, it might just blow out or make the valve stiff but hey! this is an experimental job anyway, right? And, " anything you try is not a failure but just one more thing you know that doesn't work". (I think that is a misquote from the guy responsible for this - :smart: ) A fun thread.

Do you mean lithium grease,or was it lard? :lol: :lol:.......OZ.
SwarfnStuff:
Nah Manx, Lard was the water proofer on me old boots.
Yep that was it "Lithium Grease", "told you it was white stuff" so at least I got that bit right.
Russel, great minds and all that. Cool little job, keep it spinning. Yea :med:
