Wow will be really impressive if you can cast the ports in, will require less machining. |
MetalCaster:
I hope I can pull off the cast passages. We shall see. I got into castings because I was tired of the brute force method of machining engines from solid bar stock. My patience is not so good as far as machining, and so my thoughts were that it is easier to make and machine patterns, and then I can hopefully subtract most of the tedious metal machining work out of the mix. And I have often not been satisfied with the casting quality of others, and I prefer cast iron parts. Sometimes the high quality casting kits are more than I want to pay. I made the core box and core today for the bore. |

This looks good Nice bit of wood working :bugeye: :bugeye: :bugeye: John |
MetalCaster:
Thanks John. luckily the metalworking skills I have learned in the last few years translate well to wood. I use the same bits, machines, etc. I added core prints to allow the passages to be glued into the bore core with furnace cement. Slowly coming together on the coreboxes. I need to grind on that passage corebox a bit to get a consistent thickness passage. One more corebox to make for the outer support. |

Hi Pat, An interesting project, but a lot of your thumb nail pics need resizing anything over 800x 600 does not enlarge correctly. Check some of your larger sizes, and you will only get a part of the pic. I made the same mistake when I started posting. Cheers David |
