Arnold,

Congratulations on a really great build. :bow: :bow:

Sorry mate but I can't access the video - says 404 Error site not found on this server - whatever that means ;D.

Best Regards
Bob

Thanks for the positive responses CC, Bob, kustomkb, Robert, Dean & Rick ! - This one was lots of fun to build.

I'll have a look at the video link tonight (at work now ) - it looked like it uploaded to my hosting site last night, but apparently it didn't.... - sorry about that :-[

Hopefully I won't go missing again...but she's already got my time planned...weeding, home improvement, cleaning...all the things I was supposed to be doing while she was gone. Grin

- Zee, can I recommend a smaller garden ?

I like the flywheel, particularly the use of the grub screw to lock one spoke to the crank, I'll file that one away to copy borrow later

- CC, you are welcome - its for free!

Kind Regards, Arnold

Wow - thanks very much Rick, both for the compliment and uploading to YouTube :bow: (I've given up trying to upload to YouTube from here in Windhoek; bandwidth just does not cut it)
Kind Regards, Arnold

Well I was sure I'd posted a reply as I had to download an adobe viewer to see the video : ........... oh well, ......... dementia's not too painful is it chaps ???

- Sorry CC :-[ ; I'll try to figure out more suitable formats for the videos - some research needed . Dementia painful ??? - hasn't hurt me a bit yet :big:

CC, Rob, Zee, Once again thank you very much for the compliments - it is much appreciated!

Zee, upcoming, I'm going to finish the first engine I started on - it's time to get it done. I also took a cue from Marv, and kept a (quickly growing!) list of tooling and accessories while I was building the rocker and fancy, so there is quite a bit of tool/accessory making coming as well. After that ? Don't know yet.

Kind Regards, Arnold

 

[SBWHART]

Oh nicely done Arnold! A real treat to see run indeed. You mention that the flywheel runs with a bit of runout but I cannot perceive any in the video, it runs super. Again, well done.

[arnoldb]

Thank you BC1 - Fortunately the video quality is not too great, so you don't see the runout that well
Kind regards, Arnold

 

[PhiberOptix]
