ps, forgot to put anything to judge scale on again, sorry! Don't know what those funny patterns are on wood, it almost looks like filler on the photo, sure it can't be though. I thought it was when I sanded it as I used a bosch vibrating 'mouse' sander, but looking at the first photos, the pattern is there before I sanded it. It's strange, like some bits are really close grained. Looks a bit daft in the pictures now. Nick |

That's an Oak grain pattern Nick. I'm quite fond of oak as wood goes... :thumbup: |

Nice going Nick looking good :thumbup: :thumbup: Are you making the fly wheel from plastic ?. if so be carful its not glass filled it'll do your machine no good, make sure you keep your ways covered and have a good clean up. Have fun Stew |
| raynerd:
Excellent NickG !! Like the base as well :headbang: Whole engine looks great on it. |
| NickG:
Ah ... at least that's cleared up! When I was making it, I actually found myself wanting woodwork equipment like marking gauges and stuff ... weird! Actually I do have some sand paper and a wood saw, it was just my attempt at a joke using the hack saw and emery cloth on the wood :lol: it worked though! No it's not plastic Stew ... should have said, it's a bit of steel that I think has been phosphated in the past. Cheers guys, can see the finish line now! Nick |
