By `ek Stew! Gorgeous flywheel, & column. :thumbup: That`s shaping up beautifully! :clap: I see you started 5 days ago, and I`ve only just seen it....... Where have I been all this time? :scratch: Sometimes I worry about me! But, not for long! :D David D. |

Thanks:- Nick/Dean/Jack and Dave Dean the indexer is just a simplified dividing head but a lot easyer to use, some Guys have made their own. Hacked the base out today from some ally jig plate. Then squared it up and mill around the edge with a 1/4" ball slot drill. The roller bearing arrived to day from Hong Cong £6.50 for 10 including postage:- don't know how they do it :scratch: So that I can fit in the crank pin they are only 7mm dia by 2.5 thick I was planning to assy 2 to the shaft but ended up assembling 3 Her's the assembly so far. IIt runs nice and free, but with a slight wobble I intended to drill the fly wheel for the bearing with the next size down letter drill so that the bearing were a tight fit but when It came to do the job I forgot and ended up sticking a 7mm :bang: drill through it resulting in a slack fit from the bearing so I had to glue them in place, that where the wobble came from I think. And I'm not quite sure about the proportions of the base I may hack a bit more off it, Have fun Stew |

Looking good Stew, I think you're going to have to incorporate a mirror in the final project just because you seem to enjoy using it so much though!! I'm anxious to see how you set up the power arrangements, you've got your work cut out for you with those Greek columns leading the way :jaw: mad jack |

Stew I hope that you realize than now you will never be able to make 2 of something and have us believe you. You will have to show us at least 4 if you want us to believe you. :lol: :lol: :lol: That engine is looking mighty fine though, on both sides! :ddb: :ddb: Cheers :beer: Don |

Thanks Guys This post is going to be a mirror free zone, just in case Jack posts a grusome hair cut picture in retaliation :D Finish with the ally work and on with the brass levers. These were to be fabricated just like the column and silver soldered together the fluting was done in the same way on the indexer but using a 1/8" ball cutter, the lever was also squared up and the centres drilled in the indexer. I used some square brass section and the rest of the bits were just simple turning jobs Here's the trunnion being turned up And her is the parts ready for silver soldering together And these are the bits after soldering and a bit of time in the pickle and a rub down, I'm quite a messy silver solderer so I'm quite happy with the result And how things are looking. Have fun Stew |
