Yet another paddleducks engine build

(1/10) > >>

boatmadman:
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)

Nice work Ian

I'm sure Bogs will be pleased to hear another engine is on the slipway.

Have fun

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.

You`ve got that away to a good start Ian!  :clap:

Good luck with the rest of the build.....  :thumbup:

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

Thanks

Ian
