http://youtu.be/0KZoRF8AhRU I think I may have run up against the limitation of the design it will only run for a few seconds with my small compressor before it runs out of wind. After all they only ever made two of them i guess thats why. Stew

Pleases you got a runner Chris. I think it should be called the persistant engine because thats what you need to get get it going persistance. Stew

Great looking engine Brian Stew

Thanks Jim Things have been real slow on this engine due to family commitments but have managed to steal an hour or two her and their. I had to do a major sculpturing job on the base, it was my own fault instead of following the drawing I changes the hole centres for the pedestal as i thought...

Great Engine Ramon a lovely runner. I learnt a lot from following your build thanks for posting it. Stew

Managed to sneak a couple of hours in the shop this morning thanks to my grandson, the little darling had been playing with my bed side clock and put it forward 1 1/2 Hrs so bright and early I was up at my usual time, it was only when I looked at my shop clock that I noticed how early it was...

Yes its quite a good read, worth having a trawl around the rest of the stuff as well. As far as the chevron gears go, I think I will cheat and just cut them straight. ::) One of the mills we were running had a lubrication problem in the closed up gear box, the mill finaly stoped turning, when...

This is quite a good way to check the elbows for squareness, first clock the vice jaw dead square first though Also check that the upright is square and then check the port blocks are square to each other. like this I run mine on slide ways oil: I checked the speed the other day at full...

Try slackening off the base port so that you get a little movement then see if you can find a sweet spot thats lump free, and tighten the port down to try and capture that spot. Make sure you're elbows are not too long and bottoming out. Make sure your elbows are perfectly square. Make sure...

For those of you who don't know what a sine bar look like hers mine: The bar is made to a very accurate length between the rollers and you just pack one end up to give the desired angle, that you calculate using the sine function. Finished off the base by drilling the holes, the outer holes...

Fine looking fly wheel their Jason. Things have been real slow on this build over the last week due to domestic duties. One of those duties was solving the aviane housing problem in Glasgow where our son is moving into a new/old house, with a big garden, he asked if i could make him some bird...
