Re: TB5 proposal

[Tin Falcon]

I would propose finishing up in no longer than 4 weeks.

Easy on the reins Man, the original TB schedule was 3 months we are shooting for two on TB4.
Easy on the team there.

This is what I came up with for a Flywheel

Yeah or No...... you guys decide.

Very nice. Did you say 12L14 or Aluminum? In 12L14 the mass should make for a very smooth runner.

Either or........, but I am concerned about the lack of mass w/aluminium. This is my first engine, and I don't know how much weight it takes to get these things spinning?

1Hand, I would prefer a flywheel of 12L14 please. I do like your creative embellishment to the part. How would/do you plan on getting the lettering on them?

BC1,

Got ya down for the steel flywheel. I'm also going to use steel for mine.

Good goin' there Matt. Have you considered (probably) adding the year "2011" to your logo? Just a thought. I'd love to see that machine of yours in action for real.

BTW, Pat, and fellow team members, I have perused my hardwood stock and have come up with enough stock for the bases. HOWEVER: six will be in Walnut and two will have to be made from White Oak. (we are making 8 engines correct?) If anyone has a preference, speak up now please and your selection will be noted.

Too Much?????

[bearcar1]

Matt, I thought your original design was good, how about that with the date centered up underneath the 'TB5'? Whattya' think?

Like this Pat?

Pat,

Can I get some of the finish dimensions? Total width, hub width, hub diameter, center hole diameter.

How we attaching? set screw?

I wanta start doing some rough turning 2moro if I could. I'm off the rest of the week.

Are you sure about the aluminium? And if so how many?


Matt

 

[1hand]

Or this BC1?

 

[bearcar1]

I like that second example Matt, perhaps a little bit more line separation between TB5 and 2011. I'm beginning to sound like a diva, I know. ;D

Pat,

Would it be a problem to use the .82 thickness of the hub, for the outer ring thickness? Will this throw off something else? The shafts I have are 4" long, so by the time I make 3 cuts and face both sides, I think I can stay with in the .82.

Matt

 

[cl350rr]

all,

Aluminum frame stock is identified, however... the overall width will be 2.11" vis 2.20... please note for length of shaft. I don't think it will affect anything else.

Matt, steel flywheel if possible

Jim, Wallnut base if possible

Do we want to start a work in progress thread on TB5. I was going to document the steps in building my part.

Just an Idea.

Just do what I did in TB4. Post your pics in this thread. I am hoping that the others will follow suit.
