1895 Mery Explosive engine from Gary Martin

Shoes fit nicely and made the turning spud to get the radius on the shoes. Need to make the little studs that hold the shoes to the crosshead.

No photos lately.... but crosshead is done and in the process of doing the main rod...

Nice work.

Started in on the spokes for the water pump pulley... this morning I'm going to work on the main rod a bit moreand see how far I get on that.

Is that brass or bronze ?
Looks good.

Brass billet..... had a large enough chunk.... Gary did not have any of the pulley castings in stock.

The main rod in process....

Getting there....

The smaller pieces seem to take a majority of the time on an engine build.
Looking good !
