What's next Terry the Space Shuttle Columbia disaster ? BTW you ignored Cogsy.

Once again you show your ignorance.

And it would be a difficult job to find a bloke in Oz that has never worn thongs into his shed. Though Crocs are making inroads into thong territory :cool:

That's some strict rules, can't see how its enforced in the privacy of your own home and what are the penalties for using a lathe in your backyard shed alone if you were somehow 'caught'? Australia like South Africa is hot in summer, thongs are the norm for a lot of blokes in their sheds in Oz.

Thanks mate.

G'day Jack, this Mamod TE is a later model with the newer double acting piston valve engine. The TE1 that you have is a great engine and a lot of fun to run. The gas burner (scuttle conversion) is a nice add on and allows fine adjustment to the amount of heat going to the boiler...

Do you have much time clocked up on your engine Cogsy? How is the O ring(s) holding up?

Another example of the 2mm green watchmakers lathe polyurethane belt in use and being much less liable to slip.

OT Much?

They'll have a nicely stippled aluminium flywheel for their model & toy steam application and their 2mm green watchmakers lathe polyurethane belt will be much less liable to slip as they're enjoying themselves having a steam up and running some steam accessories.

I've done some DIY nickel plating before and it was very successful. Anodising is something I've never tried.

Thanks Jim, much appreciated.

Huxtable Hot Air Engine running Gold Battery/Stamper

For those interested, here's an example from today of the perfect application of the stippled finish on a pulley. (P.S really appreciate the support that I have received privately, thank you all)

In Australia you can buy WD40 in 500ml bottles.

But how much fun is it reading the replies :)
