just done

Silver soldered

Looking real good Paolo.

I see you have no trouble with your silver soldering.
It is a good method of making a complicated part from more than one easily machined component.
Very well done, can't wait to see more.

I had to suspend my work because my rotary table had a failure so i decided to make one, while I was waiting for a new reamers and mandrels set, using an old live center...

Paolo: That rotary table you made looks really interesting. I would like to see more of the details of it and a sketch of the assembly. What a great thing to make "while awaiting tooling to arrive", to me that table would be a whole project in itself.
Congratulations on a great job.

OK...I'll post more pics for the final assembling...

 

[Paolo]

I take this pictures before the final assembly. I did It with screws and an Epoxy adhesive to avoid any possible vibration...

That rotary table is just too cool!!. Where did the degree wheel come from?

 

[Paolo]

Was a present from one of my best friends...it cames from an old Aeronautical gyro..!

Hi Paolo,

Tell me more about your engine..?

A single, double?

[Paolo]

I started my project using the VR75 ,an Elmer’s engine, as a reference...It will be a reversible single cylinder engine…I Hope... :big: :big:

Hi Paulo,
My first engine was a single. Not as pretty as yours but she runs well.

Your engine is coming out beautiful. Please do keep up the posts/pictures!

Warm Regards,

Dave

Hi Paulo,

Looks like a 3/4 x 3/4 single along the lines of a Stuart 10

Nice work! How are the cylinder ports constructed?
