Steam Engine Wickholders.
Stilldrillin:
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!
