Making a displacer cylinder from solid
DaveH:
Hi John.
There was some really “fancy” machining going on there. Showing all the skill and art of a master. :clap:
Exceptionally Good. :clap:

Nice job John, and it looks great.
I've made a number of displacer cans, and come across the "singing" you mentioned. Putting a wet
piece of cloth or paper towel inside the piece stops the singing and vibrations.

Thank you all gents for the kind comments, amd I would like to reply to a few of them.
Rob,
Even though not seen, I am sure you are like myself, no matter how mundane the job, it deserves to be finished to the best of my ability. It only takes a couple of extra minutes, so it gets done.
Dave H,
Not a master at all, just someone who takes things steady and thinks everything thru before doing anything. Being prepared to do the job is 90% of the job done beforehand, the rest is just taking things easy and not rushing.
OK, I do have a fair arsenal of specialist tooling at my disposal, but that only helps mainly with the set up times, normal methods work just as well.
Dean,
I feel such a drip for not remembering to do the soaked cloth tip, but it didn't spring to mind at the time as I was getting on OK. Next time I do something similar to this, I might be able to remember and give it a try out.
Thank you again merry men for the encouragement.
John

Hope you are delivering this by hand and not trusting the royal emails gently touch :(
