It seems to be running very well Nick!! Nice job all around...will be sorry to see it end. What's next on your agenda ?? :big:

Bill

Thanks guys, not sure what to build now, I have certainly learned allot about the limits of the unimat, but it seems to be a nice little lathe, I might build the little upright PMR engine, or the little boiler kit they have. I built the big BLR2 and it was great fun.

For the moment though, I need to make some oilers and fittings for a stuart #9 engine, and get it running on steam...

I will post a picture of the 100% finished and mounted engine in a few days.

It became a real steam engine today, I ran it with the PMR BLR 2 I built a few months back.

I have to say the PMR kits are nice and sound, the prints and instructions are good and accurate.

hmmm what to build next?

Eversince I gave up my air compressor manufacturing consultancy job,I have plenty of time to dabble into
mini steam engine building.I have a Sakai ML360 lathe and a Sakai MM180 Vertical Mill plus a cheapy China Drill Press.Living here in Singapore and in a flat very much limited my desire to put in bigger machines or perhaps more smaller machines. Having my machineshop located to balcony was tough but it was the only place available and my "boss" is happy.This way no chips and swarfs gets into the living room. Kept on reminding myself that I have no datelines to meet and I am no longer with Ingersoll-Rand USA where I slaved for 32 years from trainee engineer to Operations Manager,Singapore. This my first post and my humble apologies for this long introduction.I have yet to put in fotos.
