I've started building the Stuart Progress Oscillating Engine.
I started with the flywheel, which was a really nice casting. I machined all the dimensions by eye apart from the diameter. I've videoed the machining, but I forgot to take any still pics! Sorry. I'll try harder for the next update.
I held the flywheel in a 3 jaw chuck, on the inside of the rim which gave me a nice, very true running inside rim. The rest of the process was plain sailing.
