Sold!

This'd would make a great stocking stuffer... You know, of you had a carbon fiber mesh stocking...

Bump

Just for kicks & grins, what's the address, I'd like to see what shipping would cost.

Thanks, MrMetric, and thanks... You are correct... I neglected to add a location. Since I can't edit the original post. I'll respond here. The model is in Estes Park, Colorado, USA. I don't know of any drawings for it... If I had drawings, I'd probably be able to finish it. I'd have to...

OK... $400, & I'll cover half the shipping. I hate for it to just sit, but I won't go any lower than that. I have more pics, just ask. Thanks! Chris

I'm never going to get to finishing this, and I'm not good enough at pulling levers on my mill & lathe to do it justice anyway. I bought this from an antique engine FB page around 3 years ago. I was told it came from the estate of a model engine machinist, but I don't know that person's name...

I was glad to see him make the plans available online. I have them on the way to me now. Chris

As another data point... The forum is wonky on all 3 of my desktops. 1: Windows 10 Pro 64 bit with IE11, 2: Windows 7 Pro 32 bit with IE11, and 3: Windows 10 Pro 64bit with IE 11. Oh, and I can't see what I'm typing now,... It's off the screen... Chris

Mine looks like that, too. probably some sort of maladjustment somewhere Chris

Looks like I missed a few posts somehow... MachineTom: I'll start checking around for good prices on drops & the like. I'm thinking about future projects as well, I'm buying extra of everything This particular engine requires, along with other sizes I figure I'll need in the future. Being a...

I like it.... I could watch it for hours, too. Can somebody point me in the direction of the plans for it? Thanks, Chris

All done... Turns out Gary has an issue with the email on his web site, so he called me and I'm all set... I've got 4 flywheels on the way. I hope I don't screw 'em up! Chris

I have scrounged flywheels off of NodicTrack skiers, a NordicTrack un-powered tread mill, and a couple exercise bikes, but they are all too big for this project. I do keep a look out for free or cheap stuff that may have flywheels. I'll order a few flywheels from Martin Model... They're...

Between Speedy, McMaster, and Online Metals, Speedy had the best over-all pricing. Hobby Metal Kits had good pricing on a few of the things I'm after, but not enough to warrant separate shipping. Boy, prices sure add up quick when you don't have a lot of metal in stock to pull from! The...

Thanks... I'll check them out. Chris

I just bought a plan set for a horizontal steam engine off eBay. Looks like a nice set of plans, and I'm excited to get going on it. Anyhoo... There's a few brass pieces in it... What's a bright & easy machining brass alloy? What's a good place to get my brass? I'm in a small town, so...

Neat idea. Thanks for posting it. Keep up the good work! Chris

Wow... that's really cheap for a complete laser engraving system. I'll have to check them out and see if they're any good. Thanks for the heads up, Chris

It's still on the list, but delayed. I'm developing a new product line, and it's putting all the fun stuff to the back burner. I'll check out that ED3 nozzle, though. I did know about the Mach3 add-on. I run Mach3, and my control has an extra stepper driver to run the extruder motor. I've...
