Some fairly slow progress, making studs for all the stuff that hangs on the cylinder.... Small stuff, so went to the Taig lathe. My version has the original Taig collets, a very small selection of sizes... but, blanks are available so drilled one through the size of the studs, cut it by eye with a jeweler's saw... Then a lot of threading, flip, thread some more and all done: both steam chests, and enough + a couple spare for the cylinder covers... They are all faintly over long, I'll trim them down to final size once i have the nuts (I've ordered some commercial ones, if I don't like how they look then I'll have to make some...) Joe |

Thanks, Steve. Weather's cooling off, you might be able to get back in your shop soon! Joe |

I've been a bad boy, Joe, doing more woodwork (bows) :wack:. |
| Joe d:
Nothing wrong with woodwork, Steve. I've been spending the morning running some cherry through the planer... got a pair of bookshelves to build. Joe |
