I regularly help out the members of the Steamtoy Forum by machining widgets for their engines. One of the most needed components is a wickholder for SEL engines. The originals were upset from 3/8” tube. I can`t do that........ But I can machine from solid...... Prototype. 3yrs ago...... Must have made around 20 or so, now...... Had my first serious workshop session of the new season today......... A backlog has built up due to orders over the winter! 8off needed...... All for export! :thumbup: Plus 2, spares. Plus 2, just in case of woopsies. ::) Here we go........ 10off done, 1st op......... 2 peeping out of the bar....... It felt nice doing a batch job. Getting into a swing with the work. 2nd op. tomorrow...... Maybe! David D |
