Ian,

Welcome to our forum. wEc1

Thanks for struggling through the thread. :bow:

Kostya went back to Russia today and we have the nervous nellies until he is clear of Domodedovo which is Cathay Pacific's airport in Moscow.

Friday will I hope, see me back in my shop adding another small part to this project, which seems to be of interminable length.

Best Regards
Bob

Happy Australia Day, Bob.

You're adding a small part which seems to be of interminable length? :big:

Looking forward to seeing your progress, as always.

Damn...........I thought I had the comma in the right place. Your probably right interminable is omnidirectional. :

Hi Guys,

Well I made it to the shop on Friday but the camera stayed home.........."The Golden Years" strike again.........another "Senior Moment."

Managed to make and rivet in place the cam follower roller and make a chuck holder for my hydraulic press.

The idea is to use a two jaw chuck in the press to hold a piece of 1/8" square tool steel and broach a 1/8" square hole for the push rod in the rocker mount on the head. Next week will see if this is a good or not so good idea.

Best Regards
Bob

Another weak :

Well I broached the 1/8" not quite square hole on the rocker carrier plate A quick swipe or 10 with a file to square it up and voila ;D

Sorry there are no pics of the broaching but I ran out of hands having only been issued with the usual 2, (probably could have done with at least another pair).

The rest of the time was spent setting up the mill to make the governor stop and the points contact, which also need broaching These should be easier as they are brass.

Hi bob
The beast is sure starting to take shape now
after looking at your pics i think ill go to the shed and install the bearing caps on my little Kerzel,
this arvo (my build is really lacking some moving bits to play with ;D)

 

[Maryak]

Metalmad,

Thanks for stopping by. :bow:

I managed to make the points block yesterday so another small step done.

Roughing out the block

The block test fit on the push rod.

Best Regards
Bob

Good going Bob - Glad to see you got to machine some metal instead of electrons
You're doing a great job on machining those electrons as well!

Kind regards, Arnold

 

[Maryak]

Dave and Arnold,

Thanks for your kind words and continued support. :bow: :bow:

Today I actually feel as if I actually accomplished something, not a lot mind you but something.

Hacking out the rocker arm.

Ready for drilling and fitting to the post and push rod.

Trial fit up.

I have left the rod spring oversize and will sort that out when I have the governor arm sorted and know the lengths of the various bits.

Best Regards
Bob

Hi Guys,

Well I made it to the shop on Friday but the camera stayed home.........."The Golden Years" strike again.........another "Senior Moment."

That is why they were designed for wrist straps and fanny packs were invented.. Rof} Rof} Rof}


Your project is developing well Bob, I can remember :shrugreally?) when it was just a set of prints that was a gift from your daughter. (and I couldn't tell you what I had for breakfast this morning, go figure)

Keep at it Bob.

Pretty soon you will have eaten the elephant and wonder where it went.
