Bob,

I know the feeling. In my younger days I was a Powerlifter and blew my back out (career ending injury). When it first happened I was like you; I couldn't stay in anyone position for more then 15 - 20 minutes. I was in college at the time and considered dropping out because I couldn't concentrate during the lectures or exams. That was in '86 and I have lived with the pain everyday since. Luckily, it is nowhere near as bad now.

I truly wish you a sincere and speedy recovery.

Bob

Hi All,

Had a little tank repair work this morning and managed to get through that with minor aches so I thought I would have a go at the compression screw bush for the head.

The bush sized ready for drilling and tapping.

Ain't progress marvellous. ??? ??? ??? Tomorrow is another day and today will be yesterday tomorrow - See Ya.

Best Regards
Bob

Some days making one small part is a very good day.

It's the journey, not the destination, that is the fun part.

Looking good.

Dave,

Thanks for your continued support and encouragement. :bow: :bow:

Yesterday was another minimalist day. Only just got started when I had to stop and take a 55ft ferry off the slip and back to her moorings. Ah well it was a nice day for a boat ride. : Her regular skipper could not make it at the same time as the 60 ton lifter was available.

Drilling the crankshaft for the cut outs.

When I mounted the crankshaft in the chuck their was a lot of overhang and the crankshaft is fairly weak due to the valve hole; so I elected to drill and hacksaw the cut outs hopefully placing minimal axial load on the shaft with the final milling of the profile.

Best Regards
Bob

A New Week - No daylight Saving - Summers Gone and all the leaves are falling, well the deciduous ones anyway. :

I spent quite a lot of the weekend thinking about the overhang of the crankshaft in the rotary table and I was not happy :'( so I decided to drill through the backing plate allowing the crankshaft to go through the pate and down the centre of the rotary table viz:

Drilling out the rotary table.

Milling the crankshaft cutouts.

The milling completed.

The crankshaft profile.

Next I decided to make the contra piston. ;D

The contra piston OD.

The contra piston drilled and ready for counter boring.

And there ended another day in dreamland. :

Best Regards
Bob

Hi Bob,

Good move with the backing plate, you will thank yourself every time you need to "choke up" on a part.
