Hi Rob Well if your going to build one ,,, you may as well build a BIG UN :bow: :bow: :bow: :bow: :bow: Rob |

Rob (artie), a guy really gets a sense of the size of things now! Quite a bruiser. Thanks for showing the crankshaft jig. That looks like it worked out very well. I've done quite a few silver brazed crankshafts, and always seem to be fighting for position. No more of that for me! Thanks. |

Thanks for the scissors Rob. I knew it was above average.... It's gonna be a big 'un! :thumbup: David D |

Rob, Your clamping jig has just sparked my brain cell. I will be remaking some tiny stirling engine cranks in the near future (2mm diameter rods) and I really struggled making the originals. Your method (modified with slightly smaller parts) will really do it for me when I silver solder them up. Thanks Bogs |

Hi Rob, Dean, David and Bogs, fellas let me say it really IS my privilege to give something back to you lot, you've unselfishly supplied so much to us... The arrogance of Aussies makes us say that everything is bigger down here.. but conversly Bogs...that is bloody tiny.... I use glasses for all my machining work..Id need magnifying glasses for that.... but for all that it looks to be a very attractive little engine... Im forging ahead and am taking tomorrow morning off work... I hope to trade this for a casting session... sounds like a good deal to me... Ill report back on the progress.... Incidentally, I ingotted this lot middle of last year.... Ive got enough left for this job... best get back onto that one.... time to melt some more fire extinguishers..... Cheers Rob T |
