Mark, if I were to decide to make a Monitor engine, would it be possible to buy your CAD files for the intent of casting my parts also? Grasshopper

Got Vederstein's Swashplate Engine finished. When I first finished the parts and assembled it (unpainted), it ran. Then I paint all the parts, reassemble it and no go??? Then figured it out. The paint on the underside of the swashplate was still rather soft and balled up and the steel balls on...

I applaud anyone who can get a Rider Ericsson to work. Mine is just a paperweight now. Just couldn't get any movement out of mine. OH, WELL! Grasshopper

You might try this one. It's a link to the build on this forum. It's from one of our members, Brian Rupnow. A very nice person. Grasshopper https://www.homemodelenginemachinist.com/threads/free-plans-for-a-larger-simpler-beam-engine.2232/

You're a better man than I am, Gunga Din

Are you using the Rotary Table on the lathe because you don't have a mill?

When I was racing amateur off road in the Mojave Desert with a Yamaha 175 MX in the early 1970's, I seem to remember a tool you would use like a gear puller, only in reverse. After taking out the clutch assembly, this tool would screw into the case half over the crankshaft and you would screw...

Boy, you are close. Please DM me at [email protected]. Would love to chat with a fellow modeler.

Shop Ratt, where are you in Indiana? There are 2 of us modelers in the Indianapolis area. My friend Vederstein is a design engineer and comes up with quite a few "different" engines.

Send the picture to Tubal Cain for his mystery tool segment

Don't know if this has been said. I have a LeBlond Duel lathe made in 1947. When I moved to Indiana, I just put it on my garage floor. I am no where near any of your talent. No matter what I tried with my lathe, I was always getting that taper of a thou or more over 7 to 8 inches. My mentor...

Ved, since you've built a CNC machine, do you know how to program it? And can your knowledge be adapted to this X-Carve machine? Grasshopper

A woodworking friend of mine is getting an X-Carve CNC Machine. I asked him if it can do metal. He looked it up and said the manufacturer has indicated that the machine will do non-ferrous metal. Here is the items' website...

Foketry, there are time when someone is TOO good. You're one of them. Absolutely beautiful superb work. Grasshopper

Being an original Baby Boomer, born in 1946, I'm so glad I grew up in those times. Granted we had social problems back then, but at least in the 1950's I had "Parents" they were not my "Friends". My Mother told the Nuns that taught me, "It's OK to discipline me". And if I didn't, my Mom would be...

Now I get why you don't understand Ginsu Steak Knives. And why is it, that when someone these days doesn't understand anything, it becomes racist to them?

Jason, just out of curiosity, how old are you?
