My First Beam Engine

[densue]

I'll post production photo's as soon as I find out how to do it. Right now I'm working on the frame and I'm getting no real clues on all the dims. I'll have to R&P them from the prints I have. If anyone can help me with solid dimensions I would greatly appreciate it!! I realy enjoy the machining when I can get to it.

Hi Erdem.

Some super accurate machining by the looks. I'm very impressed. I'm curious about the counterweights on the crank. Do they increase stability much? It's hard to tell just by looking because there are parts moving everywhere! Can't wait to see more!

Thanks for posting,
Ben

Nice engine.

I like how it sounds when running.

I am building my first beam engine currently.

Thanks for sharing.

If you've got your engine running as good as that, now you just need a boiler, so you can experience the joy of live steam! :bow:

Hello guys,

Thanks so much for your pampering comments.

Ben, I don't know how much counterweights increase the stability. But I can say they help the engine to run stable.

Regards

Erdem
