A quick aside re rules (scales to our American and European colleagues). Some time back at work I was having problems getting some 'rule size' cutting jobs the right length. It turned out that one of the staff had clipped the end of the rule while measuring a job in the bandsaw. So he ground off 1/8" from the damaged end. And didn't tell anyone. Dave. |

Stu, cracking build. Can I ask your process for profiling the cylinders - they look lovely, I can`t believe you have profiled them from the billet! Chris |

Hi Cris The radius profile is just for appearance the cylinders will function just as well if they were left square. So all I did was to mark the radius on the end face and roughed them out with a series of flats with an end mill then blended them in with a file they didn't need any more than that. Cheers Stew |

Cheers Stu, fully understood it was appearance only but they look lovely. So they were hand filed. Jeeez.... I need to practice more!! Excellent work (but as I`ve said for many years, sod the engines and build a clock! :wave: :) - you`d make a bloody brilliant clock ) I look forward for the next instalment. Chris |
