Brian is not screwing around - nice progress!
This gas tank support has more of an "artsy-fartsy" thing going on than the parts I usually make, but I like it. I think it adds a touch of beauty to an otherwise "plain Jane" engine.
I originally generated the fan using FreeCAD, but I have put together an OpenSCAD version
Thanks for going to the trouble. I use Fusion360 and unfortunately it won’t open the file you posted. Will OpenSCAD export in a file format that Fusion360 can use?

OpenSCAD can produce .stl files, and not much else - but since I originally modelled this in FreeCAD, I can export to a step file or similar from there. Will do that shortly ...
A magnet in a polythene bag is my "anti-iron dust" contraption. Turn the bag inside out to removerify the magnet (free of dust) and keep the iron dust in the bag. The black dust not picked-up will be the free carbon from the cast iron. Then a good wipe with an oiled cloth to collect any remain abrasive detritus.And what exciting things are in store for tomorrow??---A big clean up to get all of the cast iron dust and chips off my lathe and mill. Nasty, nasty stuff!!! I may work up enough energy to pin the spokes in the flywheel with a piece of brass rod I bought, but no seven hour thrash like today.
