Nice build, brian. That's a nice looking and very nice running engine.

Another nice job.

I was wondering if milling the crosshead guides into the base would help with alignment issues during assembly.

I doubt it. The crosshead guides have to be steel because of the wear factor, while the base is only aluminum.

I was thinking of making the base from steel.

Brian,
Another great build. Wondering how many sheets there will be in your plans? Don't want to miss any. Thinking I may use your plans for my first build. Either this or your Beam. I want to scale them up and your plans are so easy to follow as are your work in progress updates. Gives me a idea of what the part is to look like when its made. Some times I have a hard time visualizing a part from a 2D drawing. Thanks for all you do to help us out.

Cheers Artie

Thanks from a true green horn! I haven't even picked out my first lathe yet. You know that feeling you get of anticipation when you know you are starting a new journey? Your threads on W's IP and the "cleanness" of your drawings, give me that same pumped up feeling of anticipation and false confidence. What a rush! I can do it! ( I think?)

Thanks, Brian.
