Quornish

(1/9) > >>

shipto:
I have held off posting any details of this project because I wasn't sure it would work but now I have got this far I am a little more confident so first pic of my Quornish.
I cheated a bit by buying the U2 cutter grinder attachment rather than make the bits myself.

shipto:
Little bit of progress I have made the micrometer thimble with a M10x1 thread, needs marking up but that requires yet another project so it will have to do for now.
Not exactly sure about my idea for the rocker arm but its cooling down in the vice right now so I will clean it up tomorrow and see how it looks.

shipto:
I'm thinking its not too bad not as pleasing to the eye as the cast ones but I cant see it will cause any problems, obviously it still needs the adjusting screw and if I can find a close match for the paint that will make it look better.

shipto:
Made wheelhead height nut but I am dithering about how I make the wheelhead collar now. I really need a chuck of steel about 60x50x80 but dont have anything close. The options I have with the available materials are A)Weld some bits together to make a bit I can machine to shape or B)I have a scrapped 70mm shaft at work which I can cut off 80+mm and machine to size with some big rounded chamfers left over. Option B seems the best one to me as the 60mm can be altered to leave less of a chamfer not that it woud effect anything anyway.

shipto:
B it is. A little cad work let me work out I can do this part quite easily, a little extra machining I guess but nothing I cant manage.
