Nice job! It was good to see you at the Rough and Tumble show. cheepo45

Congratulations, Stan! Great job on your engine. I'm looking forward to seeing it in person. What are you going to do for an encore? I'm thinking I.C. :D Cheepo45

Looks like a great deal for someone just starting out with home machining. cheepo45

Nice engine design, Brian. I will add it to my list of engines to build someday! Sorry you had to cut your trip south short. I am good friends with aonemarine and I would have liked to meet you. I enjoy your engine designs and postings. Thanks for your contributions. cheepo45

Nice find, Stan. I'm glad to see that Cook Machinery is still around. I used to go there all the time, but it's been 8 or 10 years since I've been there. Nice people! cheepo45

Great work, Stan! I will have to get one of those circlip tools. cheepo45

Beautiful engine! I really like the design. cheepo45

I am in awe of those of you who have the perseverence to build a multi-cylinder engine. It takes me years to build a single cylinder one! Great job!:) cheepo45

Nice work, Stan. Thanks again for doing a great job with the pictures and documentation. cheepo45

I made a very similar indicator stop last year. It's one of the best tools I made for my lathe. (and one of the easiest to make!) cheepo45

I used the heavy duty aluminum foil, but I bet a beer can would also work . I am emptying one right now (for testing purposes):D cheepo45

I like the idea. Anybody got any ideas on how to plug the hex hole? cheepo45

You can use a torque wrench to get an idea of how much it will take to turn the leadscrew. Remember it will take more when it is actually cutting. You may want to rig something up temporarily to make sure your motor will work before you spend a lot of time adapting it. cheepo45

There are quite a few interesting engines at the Rough and Tumble Museum in PA. Maybe a scale model? The spring steamup is in a couple of weeks. I think a slide valve engine would be interesting-they have several full size ones in the museum. cheepo45

It depends on what you are going to power feed. You will need to gear it down quite a bit, which will increase the torque. Give us some more information and we will be glad to help you out. I have a gearmotor from an old copier that I use for the power feed on my Mill-Drill. It works great with...

Nice work, Stan. Your pictures and documentation are excellent. cheepo45

Hi Everyone, Sorry for the long delay on this build. I had some problems with measurements on my Mill-Drill which led to a mistake on the base casting. It is fixable, but I put it on the shelf while I installed a D.R.O. and changed the belts to link belts. Then I built an Elmer's # 30 to confirm...

I have sucessfully used head gaskets made out of heavy duty aluminum foil. Maybe it would work for you. cheepo45

Try drilling or boring the hole within .007-.010 of the finished size. The less material you remove, the better chance you have of the reamer cutting on size. cheepo45

Very nice work, Dave. It was great to talk to you at Cabin Fever. cheepo45
