Hi there from yet another newbie

Tim,

Once and if you get that under your belt, you will then have a good idea if that sort of project suits you. If it doesn't suit you, then very little lost, and you can look for another direction to take your machining to.

But if it does strike a spark, then watch out, you will end up with a projects list that will be continually growing, with never a hope of getting them all done.

Tim,

I lied.  :doh: I did solder the pivot pin into the cylinder. I forgot about that one. I used regular soft solder. Since you aren't going to run the engien with hi temps soft solder will work just fine.

Thanks David D.

Bogs, I appreciate your advice to start on a smaller project before investing a lot of time and poss' sickening myself, I can see the wisdom in that so I'm gonna try for elmers #25.  :headbang:

I've been studying the plans and it seems to me that a solution might be to bore the pivot-pin hole a bit shallower so as not to break through into the cylinder and just loctite it? Or maybe I'll just soft-solder it.

Me thinks I need to get some silver solder and flux.

I dont plan on actually running it on steam, it'll just ( hopefully  :scratch: ) run off the compressor.

Welcome Tim!

Sorry for the delay.. been offline a couple weeks.


I too need to get myself working on a wobbler :)  Make my first real engine.   :dremel:



(Well not really.. I have made quite a few full size ones.. but not from scratch)
