of al pared down. Looks like it's going along well! By the time you get done, you're going to be some kind of
"Lord of the Swarf".

Oh, I've got a LONG way to go before I can claim any titles that fancy... So far, I think I can probably manage Aluminium Apprentice - at best...

can see the time, you really are on the clock.

Aha, I see you spotted my deliberate mistake! (ahem) This is probably why I'm late whenever I have to go somewhere...

Thanks for your kind words :thumbup:

HS93:
are you putting finns on the bottom to help cooling ?

AdeV:
Hi Peter,

I've certainly considered fins, but it's not yet cast in stone (or, indeed, aluminium...). The engine has what appears to be a very efficient oil-to-water cooler embedded in the "V", there's no separate airflow oil cooler; so it may not be necessary in the long run. However, if it turns out that fins would look good, then I'll probably do some :)

Now, there's no more metal carving progress, but I finally bullied Windows MovieMaker into working for long enough to create the damn video... Unfortunately, my choice of audio file means it's not available in Germany (!) - so if you're in Germany, send me a PM & I'll send you a link to a downloadable version.

Sorry it's a bit blurred, I think it's had a few too many post-processing steps...

DMIOM:
Nice one :clap: and a very suitable soundtrack - made you look a little like this :ddb:

I know the application of "Feed rate over-ride" on my CNC - but now I've seen another version !

And I notice you carefully kept the clock out of shot on this clip - if that lot only took 2mins & 5 seconds then what were you doing for the other 20 or 25 minutes before - having a :coffee: ?

Bernd:
Ade,

Nice video. I see your quite the fast worker. :lol:

I've heard that sound track before. I thought it was an American thing. Can't place the name right now though.
