I thought it was about time I put my mill to good use, so, after looking around and reading various threads I decided on a Bogstandard engine build. So, downloaded the files, gave them a coat of looking at and, following his instructions as closely as possible, set to..... :proj: with one exception, he recommends making a spare every time you machine something - so I am doing, but in this case its a complete spare engine! My theory is, if I get a 50% success rate I will have one workable :dremel: engine! Anyway, this pic shows cylinder blocks in CI, pistons and rods, top covers and bottom glands. Also is one brass block machined square for a crosshead, others not done yet. (the line on the block is a machine mark - to be polished out later) Ian |

Nice work Ian I'm sure Bogs will be pleased to hear another engine is on the slipway. Have fun Stew |

Looking good there Ian :thumbup: that's a real good start made. My paddleducks build has had a temporary halt called as a more urgent project came up ( redecorating & laying a new floor in the living room ), but I hope to get back to it soon. Tim |

You`ve got that away to a good start Ian! :clap: Good luck with the rest of the build..... :thumbup: David D |

Can anyone suggest what grade of aluminium I should use for the block base plate, and where I might get it? Thanks Ian |
