I can relate Don.
I'd head to the shop on a Friday evening after dinner for a few hours and my wife would say:
"So what do you want for breakfast Monday morning?"

That usually meant I would be taking her shopping Saturday morning.
And, holding her purse while she tried on clothes.

Nice progress on the mine engine! Thm:

I won't tell your brother you made the cylinder from brass. ;D

 

[Philjoe5]

That's a nice looking engine Don. :bow: :bow: I especially like the brass cylinder. I don't know if I missed something but I noticed holes in the outer surface of the flywheel and wondered if you built up the flywheel from stock?

Cheers,
Phil

I won't tell your brother you made the cylinder from brass. ;D

No I won't tell him either as it's made of Phosphor bronze,I think it's great we can have a joke over all these miles apart,I had a good laugh on that one.
The flywheel is one I happen to have that only needed remachining,what the holes were for I don't know.
