| On leave next week - what should I do?! |
| (1/1) |
| NickG:
Just agreed to be on leave next week - can feel a strong case of :proj: coming on! I'm planning to spend 2 hours in the morning and 2 in the evening from Monday to Friday. The questions is, what should I make? Really I should be making a start on the 3 1/2" loco refurbishment but as I said, I've got the bug and want to actually make something! Watch this space! Nick |

Look forward to reading all the project logs...! |

Sort sort of little engine is an obvious candidate and may be achievable in the time available? Since I have had a lathe and my little shaper (about 10 months) I have made: a. a table gyroscope b. a ball turner c. a worm and wheel making device d. a couple of adapters for my camera and telescope lenses e. a tool post grinder f. a single cylinder, valveless, simplex steam/compressed air engine g. several buckets of swarf |
| NickG:
That's good going John. I know I could really do with a QCTP so am tempted to have a go at one, however, I know I don't really have the material for that, so short of going and buying some, I am thinking some sort of engine. But the only other engines I want to make at the moment are: Flame Gulper Simple I.C. Engine Hit & Miss Compressed Air Engine Hit & Miss I.C. Engine Beam Engine I think the only one that is anywhere near achievable in the time for me is the Flame Gulper. By Monday I need to have made the decision and collected materials together. Quite excited but :worthless: :dremel: Nick |
