I've just re-read Ket's post, and through my sleep-filled eyes at 6.15am this morning I missed his comment about the originals being "awfully crude". How rude is that!!

Maybe english is not your 1st language, but John's (Bog's) originals are a whole world away from even being poor, let alone awfully crude. I would be more than happy if my engine had half the finish quality that the originals hold ( and given enough time and careful detailing, hopefully my one will improve )

My sentiments exactly.

Tim

ps. I also wish that I had the "very simple machinery" that the originals were made on.

Bogstandard:
Actually Tim, they were made on a late 1930's Atlas 10F lathe and one of the first and real crap mill drills dating to around 1987.

Not quite the same as I use now.

Divided he ad:
Back to the fun side.... Top job there Tim :thumbup: I was kind of absent through a lot of your build but have just read through some of it and watched the videos.

Looks neat and runs great :clap: I wish I had the patience and determination that you show :beer: If it takes me more than a week I start to lose the plot ::)

Congratulations on a job well done :nrocks:

Ralph.

Side note.... Erm John :poke:

Oi!! I got one of those real crap mill's! :poke: :lol:

I'll let you off, since your such a good bloke and I've seen the results you got from said machine :thumbup:

Bluechip:
I wonder if he's referring to 'prototypes' rather than 'originals'.

ie. some full-size engines?

Seen one or two full-size open-crank engines that were a bit er ... unfinished .. in places. Although I should think they were OK where needed.

Sez he, bored stiff watching it snow .. the next clown who mentions Global Warming is a %?>@?# dead man ...
