Title: First project
Post by: mechman48 on January 02, 2014, 12:29:57 PM

Hi   :wave:

After completing my garage conversion over the past year, making some mods to my machines & making stuff to make stuff with, as one does  :dremel: I have finally completed my first project, a simple oscillating engine (double acting) from plans off the internet, original design (1998) by Erik - Jan Stroetinga of the Netherlands. I spent the last couple of days pottering (apart from the New Years eve/day) tweaking a tight spot out of it & now have it running nicely on 8 -10 psi compressed air.

Hopefully the pics attached turn out, showing some of the construction stages & a video of the final running.

Can you tell me what you did, & how; I assume it was something to do with my link to you tube to allow the video screen to be shown on this page...? nice to know for future.

Cheers
George

Here You go...... http://madmodder.net/index.php/topic,6345.msg67168.html#msg67168

Not easy to explain, some practice is needed to get it right everytime!  :thumbup:

Thanks all for you comments  :thumbup: ; Haven't decided what to start next, have over 30 sets of dwgs down loaded from t'internet of various designs, from the likes of Elmer's engines site, HMEM site etc. Have got the 'Johnboy' in mind at the mo' but need to see what materials I have to hand, according to the dwgs  I will need to get a couple of bearings for it so will look around for a defunct printer to utilise what's in there plus some cheese head screws to buy, I have the rest of material to hand, there again I may do another simple engine, watch this space...  :headbang:
Belated seasons greetings to all  :beer:

Cheers
George
