That looks really good, Pete! It looks really interesting when running - the beam and all those linkages mean there's a lot to watch. Thanks for the build log. Andy |

Beutiful engine. Looking it running is mesmerizing! I found myself thinkking: How are all those joints and bearings lubricated? Thank you, Pekka |

Thanks Arnold - Something for your new lathe? Andy - Thanks yes a lot of little parts needed to be made and I must admit I had to psych myself up when it came to doing some of them them. Mostly it was all in the mind and once I'd started a part they went quite well. Pekka - An oil can; I squirted a lot of oil on all the joints and then ran it on air for about an hour. Degreased and cleaned it all up and then a little more oil and a coat of WD40. Its going to spend more time sitting around looking pretty than running, so will be oiled as and when it needs it. Dave - I got a bit carried away with the video. After seeing Ton Soms video Bogs had posted it made me realize Windoze Movie Maker did a bit more than I was used to using. Thanks again guys Pete |
