I collected this set over time and haven't really looked at them for a while. These are all of the issues that were available in print, everything after is digital only. All issues are in great condition and complete with all drawings, and lots of great articles. I am thinking $175 plus...

That is awesome. And we thought Henry Ford’s was crude. I did actually cringe waiting to see some blood when he was cutting the rubber from the valve stems and when he was drilling through the head with his finger right under it. Not that I have learned those lessons a time or three.

It looks to me, from a little searching and this image, that there is not any drive circuitry built into that coil.

Regarding the ones in the pictures without the aluminum case, 12V is normally connected to the center pin which is shared with both of the internal coils. To fire one side, the corresponding pin is momentarily pulled to ground with points or a drive transistor and the coil fires between the two...

Welcome neighbor!

I'm not sure when HF first sold these, but I think mine was from the early 2000's. I'll double check on that.

Once you are halfway into the woods, you are exiting.

OK - How one determines the polarity of a permanent magnet is by where the magnetic field lines run from/to. They run from the magnetic north to the magnetic south. And in Earth's case they run from the Antarctic end to the Arctic end of the Earth. I am now sold on the magnetic north being at...

Rather than derail Ray's awesome Edwards 5 build thread, I figured I'd throw my off-topic comments here. As previously posted: "The earths north pole has a polarity of south that is why the compass needle that has a north polarity is attracted to it. I removed all the magnets and reinstalled...

I like it, I have an Edwards 5 on my to build list.

Thanks, it does have "witch" on the side.

I'm sure I've heard the name of this engine at some point, but it is not coming to me.

I’m hoping to get to Rollag also this year.

I like it also. I have a bottle jack sitting there wondering about its purpose in life. Nice and compact.

Awesome, we’ll see ya around!

Hey Festus, welcome. I also have a kitchen sink engine on my list to build, but a few others are currently in front of that one. I’m in the Fargo area, where are you ?

Yea, for a guy who says: "Engineering didn’t agree with me, too much writing, not enough building things." :) Hi Paul, I believe I recognize your name from RC Groups - I've also been into RC and RC engines. I am down to a few of my favorites in my collection from TD.010's to a Rossi 60. I...

I recently received an HMEM membership sticker in the mail and stuck it to the side of the pulley cover on my mill and was amazed at what an improvement it made. The thing does not clatter like it used to and it is so quiet and smooth, almost a mirror finish cut instead of looking sometimes...

My junior high shop teacher would chew us out if he thought we were filing on aluminum. Said with heavy German accent “Hey you boys, don’t be filin’ on that luminum. You better get a file kart.”

I came up with ~465mm but don't hold me to that. (That was using 16mm and 55mm pulley diameters.)
