Well you have done it again Arnold :clap: :thumbup: That is a really great looking and running engine. :bow: :bow: Nice to see you still have some puff in those lungs, hope it didn't make you dizzy and fall over like it does to me. :lol: :lol: :lol: Great post as well, nicely photographed and written. :clap: :clap: :clap: :beer: DaveH |

Hi Arnold Ive downloaded a kimble engine plan from John Tom, looks interesting i think I've got it figured out, I'm sure it will all drop into place when you start your build. Not done very much myself since i joined this forum, I'm waiting to have both knee joints replaced the first was going to be this Thursday but its now been cancelled cause my blood pressure was high, so now i have to wait for the new medication to kick in. My lathe now cleaned oiled and covered for the winter, unless someone needs some small job doing. cant stand for long and it doesn't feel right turning from a stool. John |

Hi Arnold! You make stuff in a way I can only dream of! I havn't touched a lathe or mill for over 30 years, and long to make some chips after reading through this and other threads... :bow: It doesn't make it any easier when you have a complete prototype workshop on your beat! I go in there and talk to the guys if they are working overtime, just to smell the cutting fluids, and look at the machines... :drool: Kjelle (impressed beyond comprehension!) PS; The workshop is Atlas Copco's, at their head office in Stockholm... DS |

Thanks Stew :beer: - :lol: I like your idea of the smoker's gauge :lol: :beer: Cheers Dave - it doesn't need to be blown hard enough to make me want to fall over :lol: Good luck with the knee ops John :thumbup: - my lathe is mounted too high to sit down at, but I regularly grab a chair up to the mill to sit down for long jobs; this engine's cam ring was machined sitting down... Saves a crick in the back. Thanks Kjelle :beer:. Two years ago I also only dreamt of making things like this; it just takes a bit of work to start turning dreams into reality :thumbup:. :D Must be great getting into Atlas's workshops; they make great compressors :thumbup: :beer:, Arnold |
