My webster build
Ray:
:thumbup: Very good looking Webster. Really like the finish. Looks like you have come to know your equipment pretty well. Only 8 days of building??. How many hours per day?
Spent a lot of time in Georgia years ago. Ft Benning, Ft Stewart, Cusseta, Columbus. Welcome to the forum
We like lots of pictures (you have done that) and videos. Welcome again Ray
dbvandy:
More Webster Videos...
More to come....

The 8 days were over 2 weeks because of the holidays and got me to the first pop day January 9th. I spent 3-6 hours down in the shop, sometimes spending a ton of time making "sample" pieces, but not too many...
I have always been handy and have used my drill press as a poor mans lathe many times. Currently I am using it as a milling machine with a very well seated chuck and an x-y compound vise... works ok, just have to take it slow.
The Webster just got all polished pretty 2 days ago via a new grinder and a 6 inch buffing wheel... I like it to look like jewelry.
It has been very rewarding to see it come to life and to show my friends and family what I have been working on... the number one question I am asked is "what do you do with it?" to which I reply... "show it to you..."

Some more Webster pics mid-build. I did not take a ton of pics while I was making chips, just concentrating on dimensions, I guess...

I`ll just give up now....

I`m building one of these, my build log is on the forum, and I must have spent more time just building and attempting a gear (still not done it!) than you have on the entire engine. I`m selling up.
