Hi Luc, I will try to find the dimensioned sketches I received, and any pictures related, Luc, I am not being to successful uploading on site, contact me at holmes_ca_2000 at yahoo.com

Hello Luc, I have communication with the owner who gave me some rudimentary measurements on scraps of paper in metric which I first converted over to decimal, the only other knowledge is gained by photos, from that I have made a couple of rough drawings from my vision so it really is a...

Just in case any member is interested, I have a channel on you tube, under the name Walter Maisey, I'm in the process of building a .800 scale of the full size machine, the base is 12" x 8" x 2" inches mild steel, it weighs 56 lbs and I am machining 7 off 3/8 T-Slots all on the tiny Taig Mill...

Hello Peter that is excellent I will study in detail your photos and thanks for the input, I seem to have been on the same wavelength re: lubing the top end, I had the idea to extend a line from the central main crankshaft union towards the flywheel end and enter through the rear camshaft...

Hello Peter, it gave me quite a surprise to get your post, I was beginning to wonder if any Sealion's were being built, I have had mine going for at least 30 years and that's just the one, so your doing pretty good, and 2 of them at that, I must commend you on your workmanship and added...

Chuck, Although it never occurred to me, your post does make sense, I have been to a few agricultural steam events and remember a long line of old heavy duty trucks with chains driving the rear wheels, I believe they were Foden, (not sure about that) even today on some of the new trucks the rad...

Update on the progress of the radiator for Sealion,

Pete, nothing wrong on that decision to buy big, nice size I would say, because you never know when it might be needed, and I'm sure if you treat them in the way you built your models they will last your lifetime, looking forward to seeing more quality work in the future...

Pete, Very nicely finished off, you are to be commended on such fine work, Hope you don't mind my asking, what kind/size of machines produced your models???, .............Edmund........Alberta

Mark, Thank you for your post, its very rewarding feeling you are helping someone in some way, I'm glad you are getting something from my posts about the build on the radiator, Trivia, I read your post about measuring internal bores, I did a lot of Jig boring 50 years ago and most of the...

Thank you George, its slowly coming together, when I get it finished I will attach some photo's of Edgar's Sealion, ..........Edmund......Alberta

Bob thanks, your not doing to bad yourself, just viewed a few posts on your Webster, its looking very good indeed, Re the living room, I'm pretty lucky I have a wife who sometimes stands at the mill with a little coolant brush dabbing the chips away when I cnc a part, in fact she has told me...

OK looks like I'm registered, thanks I look forward to updates, ..........Edmund.........Alberta

More progress on the Sealion Radiator, ........Edmund.........Alberta

Gerrit, I enjoyed viewing your blog, very impressive, I looked at Start Model Engineering, also an interesting site, the square leather shoe lace is a nice idea, now why didn't I think of that:), so many ways, is there a way I can be notified of new things on your blog like you tube? I would...

Gerrit, Have you fitted wipers yet?, if you haven't and you intend to, I have a little tip for what its worth, smokers pipe cleaners are very soft and they have a very pliable twisted wire down through the centre there is not a lot of area between the top of the lathe bed and the top surface of...

Mark, thank you for that uplifting response, and just in case you haven't seen my update a short video on youtube a little by little and it gets there in the end http://youtu.be/hYOP9M1crSs ..............Edmund............Alberta

Tim, those gauges are a quality tool, Moore and Wright are a very old company probably 100 years old I was using those gauges 50 years ago, in fact I have my own set of 4 that measure from 1/32 up to 1/8 holes, ..............Edmund...........Alberta

Gerrit, I understand now, yes .005 is certainly way off I was thinking more like Max .001, I wonder how many like your one went through the door before quality control found it, it happens, talking about stub drills I purchased on amazon a few different sizes up to 3/8 dia little short drill...
