I am following along. Very interesting build. For someone with little machining experience you sure get the job done!!

Tony, Fascinating and helpful as usual. My first attempt to install a DRO was on my mill. Which is a Chinese model from the Little Machine Shop. The DRO was a magnetic type. Not a very successful venture. Ultimately I removed it and replaced it with a mechanical setup which is much better...

Tony, Yet another fascinating project. Thanks for the heads up about it - would never have found it on the site otherwise. I will be following along. Now to try and find your DRO project. Oh! almost forgot GREAT WORK:thumbup:

Great work! Will be truly appreciated I am sure. p.s. glad my trapeze was still up, so i could hang from ceiling to view pictures correct side up!!;)

Beautiful work....

Albert, I have enjoyed completing/repairing Stuart engines I have found online. It is a different engineering challenge. Sometimes I have purchased a set of plans, occasionally a casting. What is amazing to me is the fact that these Stuart's seem to run despite some incredibly poor efforts...

I have Rhudy's book with the plans for the walking beam. I have just finished my version. Would be happy to share. Cymro77

Great model and workmanship! Cymro

Beautiful work, congratulations.

Tony, the engine certainly seems to sound better and look better with the new flywheel! Performance definitely improved on that second video. Great job! DW

Tony, IMHO this is not as elegant as some of your engines. However what you have achieved with a relatively useless pile of metal pieces is truly "Incredible". You "de man!" th_wav

Tony, You stated - "recess has been filled with brass and silver solder" I am not sure how you achieved this - brass filings? Solid piece of brass soldered in place? Another technique I would like to understand.

Getting more and more interesting - I am learning as I read. :) Have put some of your ideas to good use already. Wish I were as handy as you in setting up the four jaw chuck, I would use it much more, especially with my larger lathe and chuck. DW

Thanks Pete for the enlightenment!:)

Tony, what is a Birmingham screwdriver?

Tony, I will be avidly watching this one! Glad you decided to post. You sure get a lot done in a day. DW

Hi ho, hi ho it's off to the lake we go!! That is going to be one fun outing! Everything is so neat and precise one cool boat!

Looking great Tony! Thanks for sharing.

I like the flywheel. Keep it!

Tony, Looking at the photos of the hull construction, I see what appears to be a second layer on the bottom. Did you double up the bottom? DW
