Hi All :wave:, done a little more on the 10v today, i started on the steam chest, a few photos on how far i have progressed so far, Machining the steamchest, Centre drilling the steam chest for the mounting holes, Drilling the steam chest mounting holes, Well this is as far as i have got so far, I have ordered a 5BA die so i can finish the piston rod :coffee:, Ray |

Looking good there!! I have been watching this build with interest (along with Chris's) if it wasnt for the price of castings I would love to have a go at building one, but there are too many other projects that are cheaper on my "to-do" list :proj: But you are making it look very easy, I look forward to seeing the video of it working.

Great work there scrap man, it's looking brilliant. Useful for anybody considering building one. Tim you're right, the castings are so expensive these days best part of 100 squid for a 10v or 10h inc delivery :bugeye: Nick |

Should earn enough to pay for both sets plus paint etc. Making two is only about 30% more effort than making one... |
