First Stew, neat trick on the photography using a mirro to show both sides at once. Had forgotten about that trick. Second, you can use a jewlery cleaner in the ultrasonic cleaner. I'm sure that can be found a better jewlery stores. Bernd |

Oh, it's a mirror! First glance, I though it was two different flywheels. Ya caught me looking, Stew. Potty Engineering strikes again! Looks great. Quite unique. Dean |

Thanks Bernd/Dean Bernd I'll try that jewelry cleaning stuff, I think my boss has some hidden away, thanks for the info. The mirror is my hair cut mirror I keep in the shop:- No I won't be starting a thread "Giving Stew an haircut" :D More progress this time on the columb, turned a length of ally down to 15mm diameter than transfered it over to the mill and in the indexer with a 3/16 ball ended slot drill put 12 flutes up it. Then gripping it lightly in a collet face, drilled and tap both ends M3 Milled a little square base up:- sorry no pics. Then in the lathe by eye shaped up the roundels drilled 3mm and part off. And this is what the columb will look like. I want the engine to look like the Temple of Afinger the Greak Godess of Engines :) Have fun Stew |

:offtopic: Good crop of frog spawn this year. OK Stole a few more shop hours and got stuck into the the columb cap. First op on the lathe. Then onto the indexer for milling the flats, and drilling and tapping M3 blind Then back onto the lathe to part off A quick clean up and a polish, and this is where it fits Cheers Stew |

Hi Stew, you're sure enjoying the use of that mirror aren't you? I have to say, with those Greek columns set up, you've got a lot to live up to on this finger engine build :jaw: Mad Jack |
