A bit of casting

<< < (5/12) > >>

Bogstandard:
The first one Dean, but because it is on two sides, it could mean both of us, we are a team after all.

But unlike Rob's main casting, where he has cast his name onto it, I hope to have a brass plate engraved up for mine, 'Bog's & Bandit Manufacturing Co.' or something to that effect.

All you people can't feel the expectations I am feeling at this time.

To have Rob, in my eyes a master caster, making something for little ol' me, to finish off my engine to perfection and uniqueness, is truly mind blowing. Beyond my wildest dreams. I only hope that the rest of the engine will turn out as well as this will, and be able to do this piece justice.

What all you onlookers don't realise is the amount of work that Rob has put into this one item.

From my C-o-C's that I sent him, with a roughie set of dimensions and ideas, he sent me back some fantastic CAD drawings (some even rotated) showing what the finished article would be like. It was truly like being at a birth, a lump came to my throat just looking at them.

What the original drawing looks like, showing the copper tube cooling jacket





My measly offerings




And What Rob came up with, click pic to see.

Cheers Dean

I always try and  look for the positive , there is always something to learn from a mishap   :lol: :lol:  and i think its good to show that its not all plain sailing ,even if it gets a laugh  :D


I am going a different rout as regards the water jacket  ,,, something like this ,,, still not quiet there

 


Two cores ,, could be done with one core and a liner  ,,,,,,,,,,  but two will be more fun  :)

Bogstandard:
I had forgotten you have yet to make patterns and cast your cylinder Rob.

So it is just common sense that you build your water jacket into it as it is being made.

So another unique engine.

Dean W:
It's quite a leap from Bog's first drawing to the 360° animation.  I mean, Rob filled in a lot of blanks
and came up with a unique and interesting original.  And then, the casting itself...
Quite a good show.  I can see why you're excited about it, John!

Rob.Wilson:
Hi Chaps  :wave:

Here are a few photos of some of the other  patterns  i hope to get cast over the weekend




And a door and frame for the stand i made for the wood lathe ,,covers the hole thats needed in the side to gain access for the belt change





Looks like i will have the furnace running a fare bit this weekend  :ddb: :ddb: :ddb: :ddb: :ddb:
