I just realised we only have 2 weeks to finish :bugeye: all VTsteams fault fancy doing this during the cold months :wack: Aaaaaanyway I spent a bit of time today on the fly wheel and piston which I decided to remake as I wasnt happy with the first one. I started off by thinking about the framework that everything will sit on and made a start on that and then fixed the piston end position, I left it very long as I am not exactly sure how I am going to fix it. A little bit of the bar...erm I mean homemade bolt that I totally made before cutting it down again to make this :lol: was turned for the piston end before pressing it onto a short length of chromed tube and then constructed the outer tube. I am much happier with the new piston. I am going to have to put some hours in after work if I want to have a hope of finishing this in time :doh: especially since I dont have a complete plan, so pray for warmer weather. |

Russell, I am waiting to see this running painted or not. It looks good. One of the members of my local club has recently bought himself a small plating kit so if it were his I am sure he would add some Bling and nickle plate some or all of it. (Fairly new toy for him, so plating is all the go at present.) Great job John B |

Hey another running engine!! :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap: Seems quite fast, too!. What's the mechanism??? :scratch: ps. If you have to turn your computer sideways to see it run, does that make it a horizontal? :) Congratulations Shipto -- that came along a lot quicker than I thought... :beer: |
