Hi Dave SD

Nice ...  :thumbup:

Dignified ... presume the drill bit ain't permanent ???  :D

Was going to do a bit of mine yesterday ... until I found my stock of 1/4" brass bar is all 6mm  :bang:
So, off to Live Steam Models at Little Eaton to replenish ..
Popped into Robby's on the way back, and landed up playing with the dog ...
Too nice a day to be inside anyway ..

PS

That balsa displacer intrigues me, wonder if they can be made with Intumescent Foam ??

No idea if it can be machined though ...

Dean W:
What a smooth runner!  That's great, David!

Kind regards, Arnold

Thanks for all your kind comments Chaps!  :thumbup:

It's tomorrow now, and I've still got a big silly grin!  :D

Ran it again, after mopping out the condensation from the balsa. At the end it was running happily at some 250rpm. Too fast for me.

The single wick burner is too much, having singed the wood slightly. Guess it might run on a tea light, after all....  :scratch:

Lots to do yet.......
Lots of 1.5mm pins to make, cos I keep on loosing 'em on the floor. Need to put the drill back in the rack, before it is lost too!  :palm:

Happy little Drillin......
