Hit me - Miss me?

[Maryak]

Diy, Nick, CC, Ron and Carl,

Thanks Guys :bow: :bow: :bow: :bow:

Busy week ahead, people coming to look at our unit. The new house is ready for walk through inspection with the builder, back building my H&M and in my spare time I will stick a broom up my fundamental and sweep the floor, just so I'm not bored. ;D

Best Regards
Bob

Hey Bob, just remember, those old engines will be running long after we are gone, so take care of yourself.
I think you are like me, and feel you have only so many engines left in you and don't want to miss any one of them.

 

[Maryak]

Rob, Philly and Arv,

Thanks for the continued support and best wishes. :bow: :bow: :bow:

Yes Arv, I'm sure I'll run out of time before I run out of engines, boilers and tooling to wish for, make and sometimes break.

Very little today mainly because I was p1$$ing about experimenting trying for a good finish across the face and I ain't finished yet

??? ???

I did manage to remember to take a couple of shots of the business end of the recess tool bit.

Best Regards
Bob

Hi Guys,

Well, I actually returned to this last Thursday for an hour and it's taken me from then until now to post.....................Why ??? ??? ???

I am so pi$$ed off at myself. I misread my depth gauge and have buggered the 2nd flywheel :-[ :-[ :-[.

Next move take up knitting. : :

Actually next move, beg some more material before the shipyard closes for Xmas and start again.

Watch this space, but don't hold your breath. ;D

Best Regards
Bob

 

[vlmarshall]

Ah, man...sorry to hear that one. What's the material?

 

[gjn]

Bob

Sorry to hear about the flywheel but it's good to see you back, I've missed seeing updates to this build. Have you shifted the workshop yet or are you still down at the port?

Rgds - Gavin

Hey Bob,

Good to see you back on the hunt....sorry about the scrap....you can have any piece of stock in my shop...but you gotta come here to get it.... ;D

Dave

 

[Deanofid]

Sorry to hear about the mis-step, Bob, but glad you are able to get back to the workshop!

I am so pi$$ed off at myself.

Remember Bob, it is always better to be pi$$ed OFF than pi$$ed ON.

Thanks Guys,

Your comments have helped, given me a good laugh and brought things back to reality. :bow: :bow: :bow: :bow: :bow:

Gavin, the shop is still in the port and I don't see it moving before new year. Probably a good thing as I have plenty of honey do's and my own should do's to keep me occupied.

Vern, the material is best described as a lump of steel 3/4" thick and min 6" diameter. Said lump to be machined with HSS tool bits.

Best Regards
Bob

 

[vlmarshall]

Like Steamer's offer, I was thinking of sending a lump to you...until I saw where you are... ;D

 

[shred]

Sounds like a spare weight-lifting weight to me... those are bottom-of-the-barrel CI though.

 

[NickG]

Bob,

Glad to see you back. Sorry to hear about the flywheel. We all do stuff like that from time to time, sometimes we can get away with it sometimes we can't but we usually learn a bit from our mistakes.

Can't wait to see this restarted.

Nick

 

[zeeprogrammer]

I've been waiting your return. Welcome back.
Sorry about the flywheel.

 

[ariz]

what a pleasure to see you still at work on this engine Maryak

but you said that the shop will not be at home until the new year?!
however, it isn't a long time now, some weeks...
it seems that you will not be inactive in the meantime
