Now that you'e posted a drawing I can see thats it a dinky little engine, I thought that you Chaps over the pond always suppersized every thing, or is that just the Burgers  :lol:

Ya we do. 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.

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.

I like those sort of things to mull over I find it kind of relaxing :med:, some people do crossword puzzles  :smart:, some people knit, some people read,  :coffee:

Have

Fun  :wave:

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:

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.

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
