:proj: We after the first engine attempt last year (Puddleduck) I have some workshop time again. Model Engineer have just started a "Beginners Engine" series. As with most things, I'm impatient and have started to get some of the bits underway (With minimal dimentions) It requires a 4" flywheel. I put an inch thick round slab in my 3 Jaw and it was .2 mm or so out. Out came the 4 jaw and the centre of one side is well under way to being hollowed out. (More Details in the Tools Thread) Last week a couple of sheets of Perspex arrived. I decided they would be good to make the Base. 8 bits, 9 1/2"X 2 1/2" were cut and superglued together to make it 1" thick. I have trimmed it down to the correct(ish) size on the mill. This looks like it'll be a fun engine and maybe i'll stand a chance of getting it to work... |

Hi there, i'll be watching as i am also building Stew's engine. It has stalled lately but hope to get back to It tomorrow night. |

Stu: 100% guilty. I'll have a read of your log over the coming days :) Alex. |

I've seen Stew's original. It's much larger than I imagined, from his postings. :scratch: A nice engine! :thumbup: David D |
