For my first try at building a steam engine I have opted for Elmer’s no33 horizontal mill engine. To make it easier to do I have doubled the scale and adapted it to metric. Shaft part of the crankshaft. The crank pin Setting up a piece of material for the crank web. Drilled and turned the boss end. Then turned around, and turned the outside and faced off. The milling work has to wait until my mill is fixed. Next were the eccentric, first faced and drilled and then offset to turn the journal. More to follow. Cheers Abraham |

Thanks to all for following. The piece of stainless steel that I wanted to use for the valve pushrod had a slight bend in it so I had to do a makeshift drive arrangement to turn it between centers. Once true it was chucked in a collet chuck for a bit more rigidity while turning. Ready for milling. Next was the connecting rod, here turning the radii with a form tool. Turning done. That’s all for now. Cheers Abraham |
