I'm not sure I have a hole as such, more like a portal. I drop something and it enters the portal, impossible to find no matter how much searching I do. 3 months later it appears in plain sight, maybe even sitting in the middle of the bench...

I wish mine was a portal, the last thing I dropped was a new tip for my cutoff tool and it has never been seen again
Landed at my feet and just vanished

You're right Dave there is a lot of work in the heads

I still need to drill the ports out

Thank you Steve

I'm looking forward to the assembly stage to see how it looks, but we are still waiting for the castings from Dirk

Anyway there is still parts to be made, hopefully by the time I run out of things to make the castings will arrive

Your parts look great, as usual, and I'm jealous that you're making so much progress while I make none. I still haven't got the time I was hoping for, plus I blew a capacitor in my lathe and it might be a while before I can fix it.

Have you got a group shot of all your parts so far? Must be quite a pile of them already.

Thanks Al

Hi Michael

Hi Dave,

Thats true. We have more our fair share of endless mini parts to make and it was best,we meet dimensional requirement. I have some reworks. Now in the midst of assembling the V-2. No rush. Completion date unknown.

Greetings for Christmas.

 

[michael-au]

Some more progress on the front plate

The front is finished and the back just needs to be turned so the bearing fits, then make a program to CNC the shape out

Are you making it thicker than the plans say or thinning it down? I had issues trying to successfully make it thin enough from solid so ended up making it 2 pieces, 1 piece of plate and then the 'snout', then joined them together.
