Resistance was indeed futile!! :borg: :lol:

I just had to get my head around a few things before I started....

Yes John I know it's bronze.... Only cause of the way it's presented with the black twist in it.... Oh, and the way it machines. Comes off in swirls and curls not sintered stuff like brass :thumbup:

I like the bronze look when polished, plus a bronze cyl with a brass piston might wear better?

There is going to be some ali in there somewhere too, possibly a bit of stainless? it's all up in the air at the mo' :)

Now, The flywheel..... I think it would be a bit silly to try the cutouts on such a small piece.... But I might try on a donor part first.... See about a bit of confidence!
(I do already have a flywheel plan :thumbup: )

Robert.... Tie clasp? It'd really distort your tie.... It's pretty heavy :headbang:

Thanks for the cheerful replies guys.... I'll get back onto it next week :dremel:

I thought you would know Ralph, just checking.

I think with this little nodder, the more wear, the smoother it runs. They will in fact run on breath power, and a clapped out old codger like me can only manage about 1 psi lung power. Now get a bagpipe player, they can push out up to 4 psi, the thing would take off.

Do I detect a little bit of yellow clucking bird there. Just get the flywheel made on the RT and be done with it.

Very disappointed Bogs.

Divided he ad:
Not a complete clucking bird John..... I just don't want to wreck the material of the flywheel!

Anyway..... That's next week :) I've plenty of time to sleep on it.

Ralph.
