Hi newby from Norwich

Darren:
Very nice, both of them.... did you cut that frame from solid?

wheeltapper:
Hi
yes, I cut two sheets to size, bolted them together, printed the plan full size and stuck it on with double sided tape, then drilled holes in the corners and cut the pieces out with a hacksaw.

the base and bearing surfaces were milled so they were all parallel, the rest was a long filing job.

just the job on a cold day  :thumbup:

cheers
Roy

That stirling is a fine engine. The fact that you have cut the second one out by hand shows that you have not lost the hand skills that were once required to make something like that. My hat is off to you for your fine effort with the hacksaw and the files.  :ddb: :ddb: :ddb:

Cheers  :beer:

Hello Roy,

Welcome to the forum! I am another recent member and similar age, experience, etc and the job in my garage at the moment isn't getting full attention due to winter cold.

You initial efforts are impressive as well as the tooling you've made.

Sure you will enjoy it here.

wheeltapper:
Hi
thanks for the nice comments guys.
when its warmer I have a partly turned flywheel needs the spokes carving out.
I think I've evolved a way to do it without a rotary table ( cant afford one of those)

I may photograph the sequence and post on here somewhere if anyone is in the least bit interested  ::)

it wont be for a while tho, its still below zero out there and unlike computers and trolls my brain doesn't work at that temp. ( it doesn't work at all for long periods  :)

cheers
Roy
