I third that. Beautiful parts Gail!

I sent your bearing block out yesterday via DHL. I think the bearing blocks I did came out pretty good but I need to work on my polishing skills. From the looks of the other parts I definitely have a lot of room to grow! :bow:

I think the polishing came out fine. If anything there may be some drool marks on it.

Hello, I am new to the forum and just spotted this team build section. The Chuck single looks like a nice engine and makes a nice sound more like an i.c. engine!

Is this team build just to build 1 engine or 1 for each member of the team? What sort of time scales are you thinking of?

Finally, have many people successfully built the Chuck single before?

Thanks,

Nick

Well what is the status folks.
I believe all the bearing blocks have been sent out.
the bases are done. the crank parts are shipped and received.
I am still making parts life keeps happening here.
I would like to see all parts shipped by the end of June if possible
I understand that many of us are "Old farts " with health issues and or day jobs I have both to deal with as well as an active family. Alls I as as we do our best.

The crank parts were all shipped, but not all were received.

Because of the last change in postal regulations, which not even the PO clerks fully understand, the jiffy pack envelopes are now in a new class of mail. It now costs $1.17 to send instead of the $0.49 of a couple of years ago. I allowed for the increase in rate, but not the new classification so 2 of them were returned for more postage. But most of them got through OK.

Powder Keg's and Deer-x-475guy's were returned, but have both been resent and should be received about the middle of the week.

Keep the faith guys. It will all come together soon.

I'm loving this thread!

I've been a computer geek since long before the term was coined.
The language was binary. Two possible answers, yes or no designated
by a number 1 for yes and 0 for no.
X and Y were the input values.

There were 4 possible answers to any input.
AND, OR, NAND or NOR.
The code for input to output looked like this:

x y AND OR NAND NOR
0 0 0 0 1 1
0 1 0 1 1 0
1 0 0 1 1 0
1 1 1 1 0 0

I also remember my very first internet communication.
It was one charactor at a time popping up on a black CRT screen
in neon green letters. 100 charactors a minute was FLYING! LOL

Funny thing is a computer can still only give the same yes or no answer
but it can make those choices so quickly that it appears to be a seamless
view of color, sound and image.

I'm sure 20 years from now they will be laughing at what we believe is
high technology today. I'll be too old by then to argue the point...

Tin,

Nice bit of Imagineering 8) Are you sure you don't want to be part of the next build? ;D

I've always wanted to play around with using a pot chuck, Is that a 3C? and if so, where did you get your blank, and how did you go about machining it as I have never used one I was wondering how deep, and are there pre-made spacers that you remove after machining, and do you turn to the exact size you are gripping or how much oversize?

Bret:
it is a 3" 3C from a regular e-bay seller Bridgeport 92 or something like that. I inserted small aluminum squares in the three slots then tightened down the chuck. the slots measures .110 so used .100 aluminum. I plan on setting these aside for future use. Because I knew the hole would open up I just went to size. IIRC I went .200 deep and machined a .010 deep groove. I started with a shop made boring bar made of drill rod and finished with my warner co insert HSS boring bar.
This is my first adventure with a pot chuck also.

OMG!!! He is ALIVE!

j/k... It will probably be me holding everyone up. I hope to ship everything in the next day or two. I have to polish up the cylinder bases and finish the pistons.

Eric

 

[Brass_Machine]

His parts (and everyone elses) are very nicely done. I only hope mine hold up in comparison.

[bretk]

Thanks Tin!

I am going to order one to play around with

I am alive Tim)LOL Just been busy. It's getting better though. I took a quick video of the drilling. I have 30 drilled now I'm going to try and finish drilling tonight. It takes longer to take the part out and put a new one in than it does to drill the hole. But, it is still taking a while. I have 100 holes to drill and tap. I hope the video is good? I set up a indicator and used it to drill to depth. The drill chuck is a crappy one that wasn't good for much. It had a straight shank and I had to grind it down to fit into the tool holder. Feed is by hand. I think Bob wanted to see this? Here you go)
