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.

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

Really impressive Pete, that's made me want to do the French beam engine more, should I promote it further up my list?!  :lol:
