It turned out real nice Jeff, Way to stick with it. Dave

Hi Maury I hope you had a good time at NAMES and also a good trip. Wow what an incredible offer on the castings; this would be a wonderful learning opportunity for me as I do have interest in the pattern making area. Casting maybe someday but that would be down the road a ways (retirement) as...

Hi Maury Thanks for checking up on me. The finger is coming along as well as can be expected I guess; it has been a long haul. I got the pins taken out on April 4th and then the stitches 10 days later, so at this point I’m just trying to get the range of motion back to somewhat normal. It’s...

Wow Gus! Glad you and camper survived that one; have a great time at the show. Wish I was going too. Dave

Congrats on a runner! That must have been quite a challenge as a first project. The Galloways a nice little engines. Dave

Nice work Gus! Congratulations on getting it running and then tweaking it until you were happy with it. Dave

Hey Gus I have been enjoying your work on Lil' Henry, lots of cool stuff here! The new project looks like a fun one; I don't have any ideal what it is but I'm sure you will make it run. Dave

Bummer on the governor body; I sure you will get it sorted out. I can't believe you let that beautiful engine get so dusty; even the unfinished Pacific lives under cover on my work bench waiting for me to pay some attention to it.:) Dave

Hi Dave and Gus, No this wasn't shop related. It was Rugby the 25lb Cavalier King Charles Spaniel's fault; I had bent down to give him a pet and when I stood up and started to step over him he also stood up (which I didn't see) and tripped me. Well the rest is history; one surgery and 6 little...

It's not a contest;I would be honored to have my engine show up there. I also believe that the EOM should be based on a build thread and not an engine that someone just happens to post a picture of, and say gee look at what I just built! Dave

Hi Guys, Sorry I have been slacking on this project; I took what I thought was going to be a short breather to work on my CNC upgrade project. Also I tore into my old Van Norman indexing head to refurbish it, along with making two missing index plates; I do need this to cut the pump gears for...

Sadly, I don't think Harold is with us any more. Dave

Thanks for posting the pictures Chris. Dave

Hi Smash Is the decimal point missing from the feed rate in the posted code (F2.XX); I have had similar problems if the point is missing, it will feed at a crawl. Dave

Nice work on the valve assembly Gus. Dave

Thanks for the kind words, I have been side tracked by a couple other projects and really need to get back and do some more work done on the Pacific. Dave

I like the Harris "Stay Brite" silver bearing solder and the "Stay Clean" paste flux. Works great for soldered assemblies where great strength is not needed. Dave

Hi Gus Enjoying your build here and as always your knack for digging through the scrap box and coming up with a gem! Dave

I was quite honored when my build showed up on the home page; but now I guess all one has to do is spam the site with a bunch of unrelated crap to get there! I was under the impression that these articles or posts were selected by a person who had a clue; I guess that is not the case. Dave

Would be interesting to see what Austin has to say; I thought he was the one picking these articles although I also agree that they don't belong here. Dave
