Powder Keg:
This is turning out very nice Ralph! I can't wait to see it finished. I made one once out of a brass toilet bowl float;o)

Thank's Wes, I've seen tube vid's of the float converted types.... They can spin pretty well too!!  Hopefully mine will look like it doesn't belong in the toilet?  :D



Reistance is indeed futile.... You will all be drawn to every post on MadModder by the collective  :borg:  :clap:  ;D

I've got several of Karsten's early turbines on hand if you want a bit more detail on how the bearings are arranged. His is a fascinating story of a lad raised behind the iron curtain who meets capitalism. I know it well, as I was there to see almost all of it. Sadly, the young fellow has a few personal demons he needs to deal with these days.

Hi Steve, and welcome to another gent' of the small machining world  :dremel:

I've seen your models, been to your site a few times  :thumbup:

I have viewed all (I think?) videos out there on you tube of these little Karsten wonders and as much as I would like to know all about the workings, I think I want to work as much out for myself as possible (all part of the fun, you understand that?!  ;D )

I've had some help from John (Which was needed and greatly appreciated) But I really want to let my mind do a little wandering on this one.... See what I come up with?

I'm not liking the bit of the story about the demons though.... Shame for someone so talented.



Are you making anything interesting at the moment then??

Feel free to tell us what you've been upto  :thumbup: (we need info!!!  ;D )

Remember me?....LOL. I'm the guy who builds em without drawings. I completely understand the desire to work through the idea.

To my surprise, Karsten did get at least part of out latest order to us this morning. I'm not sure what specific issues he's dealing with, but I certainly do worry about him.

I'm not doing much in the shop, at the moment. Cold weather has begun to shorten my stay out there. I'll probably spend the cold months indoors, lining up projects for this spring.

Thanks for the warm welcome
Steve
