Nice one Gerhard - looks good :thumbup: I'd say a good epoxy should do just fine for holding on the ring. Are you making the engine double-acting ? - then you can get it to run very slow; the main thing is keeping things in balance and as friction-free as far as possible - from what I've seen on Elmer's wood beam engine, final balancing is done with an adjustable weight moved along the beam. Regards, Arnold |

Hi and thanks Dave Arnold and Rob Just a small bit of progress- Base A start, the mortice and tennon joints was done with a chisel and mallet. And the Flywheel glued and sanded and oiled with same raw linseed oil. Flash is a bit to strong I'll try it with less light again. The colour is better with this one but it doesn't show the detail. Any way thanks for popping in. Gerhard |
