Making a Wood Beam Engine

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.

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
