Very tidy work!

 

[ShedBoy]

Borderline sterile I would say. Video?

I added some oil-lite bronze thrust washers to hold the cylinder centered in the frame and another one between the frame and flywheel spacer. This freed up things quite a bit. I still need to machine the steam fitting and paint the base.
Any suggestions for what color to paint the base and flywheel recesses? I was thinking basic black, but I'm open to suggestions.

I think black contrasting with the bright metal would look stunning. Maybe a hammered finish paint.

Here's a crummy video of it running.

that is fantastic!
very nice engine! Wish I could do that neat of a job. What kind of machines are you working on? Which lathe? Do you have a mill?

take care,

Thank you. I have an old Atlas lathe and a Bridgeport.

I was watching this video and at about the 0:35 mark in the video there is a vertical barring engine that sure looks like the same design as Elmers #42 to me. What do you guys think?

Very nice engine. And very well done even if it were not your first.

 

[my65pan]

Thank you! I finally rigged up a regulator so I can control the rpms a little better.

I'm sure it's a great video, but it is marked as private, so I cannot see it.

 

[my65pan]

I'm sorry, it should be viewable now.
