Nick The bar held in place with the brass screw is the stop. I've just been to Macmodels and bought some 1/8" stainless for the control rod and a chunk of 1 1/2" square brass for the chimney, I was all set up to start making chips tomorrow then school rang asking if i could go in and invigilate an exam as they are short of numbers, best laid schemes and all that, but it adds to the shop fund. |

Thanks Dave Started work on the tender hand pum. For the body I used a bit of Phos Bronze tubing I picked up at the scrappy it was one of those chance finds, luckily the bore cleaned up nicely with a 1/2 " reamer. Hers the set up for drilling the pump body to take the valve chest. And her it is all silver soldered together. Have fun Stew |
