A couple of mornings work and I had got myself a ball turner. --- End quote --- What is it you Brits say when something is just .... "smashing", "brilliant"? It's one of those "now why didn't I think of that" moments... :doh: I have a similar setup on my lathe/mill with plenty of clearance under the chuck and I'll be giving this "a go" myself! Thanks for the great idea. -Sparky |

Stew, I have to hand it to you, that is one bit of fine machining there in making the govoner. I'm impressed. :bow: :bow: And it's done manually, no CNC involved. :bugeye: Bernd |

Cheers guys for all your support. Didn't get anything done today. But thought I would ask a ? of you guys, I may have asked it before but no harm in asking again. I've been trying to get my head round the plumbing you see on popcorn engines, no two seem the same, some look like Russian spy trawlers they've got things sticking out every ware. I'm going to keep it simple along the lines of this. but without the twirly whirly bit which i've worked out is for a pressure gauge. But the lubricators the sticky up thing in front of the steam chest looks all wrong to me, its bottom looks to feed into the the steam pipe, but for a displacement lubricator this is wrong. Has any one got any knowledge of this or access to an engine with a lubricator on they can check out. Even though I will be running my engine on air and displacement lubricators don't run on air I like the idea of fitting one. Cheers Stew |
