Hi to all, Hope 2015 is a happy, healthy and prosperous year for all. Next up a piece of the off cut CI was turned to form the piston. The hole in the piston ended up to loose a fit on the pushrod so the rod was brazed up and turned down for a tight fit in the piston. The picture did not come out that well. The piston was then finished while mounted on the pushrod. For the next task I will be attempting to get the hidden flywheel from within a slice of CI. A template was used to drill and tap some fixing holes in the slice. It was then mounted and centered on the faceplate. The outside skimmed, faced and center hole drilled and bored. Then it was very slowly turning the recess. The flywheel was then turned around and reset. The fist task now is to cut it to length by hand. Until next time. Abraham |

I love seeing the flywheel, slowly emerging, Abraham. :clap: --- Quote from: modeldozer on January 02, 2015, 05:56:13 PM ---The fist task now is to cut it to length by hand. --- End quote --- More hack-sawing? :palm: :( Good luck/ muscles! :thumbup: David D |

Hi David and George, Thanks for the insparation. BTW half a days hack-sawing later and am about 80% through the sclice. (done with frequent rest) Cheers Abraham |

Finally managed to cut off the excess. Faced to size. And then the slow process of machining the recess was repeated. Had little shop time and only finished this afternoon. That concludes the turning work that can be done for now, unfortunately the milling machines bed is not back yet so will have to find an interim project to do while waiting. Cheers Abraham |

Looks like a great project! I like the photos of the parts with your prints. |
