You should see some of our suppersized women that eat those suppersized burgers. :jaw: Thanks for the Crap-O-Cad. It's very helpful. I printed out the pic and 6 steps. I'll have to study that a while. But in the mean time I'm going to do some of the easier parts. I'm going to do as many as I can on the Sherline lathe and save the frame for the Logan. On your step 2 you show using the four jaw. I'm thinking of maybe using the face plate to mount the "now flat bottom" of the frame to. Needs some :med: time so the brain can absorb all that info. Thanks for the the time it took you to write and draw that up. Much appreciated. --- Quote ---Know get stuck in and make some swarf :whip: :whip: :poke: :poke: Have Fun :wave: Stew --- End quote --- I think the wife has more "whips & pokes" at me for finishing the pantry than you do to make swarf. But I think I'll be able to squeeze in some shop time. :clap: That second pick reminds me I need to get a boring head now that I have the Bridgeport. Thanks again for the time you took to explain it all. Bernd |

Hi Bernd, just saw this post, I too have one of those kits that I got from ebay a couple of years ago, but my frame is cast iron (and full of hard spots!) instead of gun metal or bronze and I did have fun machining it :bang: to the point where it all got put to one side for some time! how were you thinking of going about cutting the little square guides for the valve? :scratch: Giles |

Hi Giles, This project is going to go in "spurts" (drips of water) as I get ideas of doing things. I was looking at doing some of the machining of the frame and just couldn't statisfy myself on a proper way of doing it, even with all the help I recived from the members. So I've put the engine aside for now so I can build some much needed tooling. --- Quote ---how were you thinking of going about cutting the little square guides for the valve? --- End quote --- I've looked at that part of the project and to honest I have no clue as to how I'm going to do this. Once I get back into working on the engine I'll be posting about it's build again. But for now it will sit on the shelve. Regards, Bernd |
