Not yet. Unfortunately had a death in the family and it has put the brakes on a few things. I hope to get the metal in the next few weeks so i can get going on it.

Eric- Sorry to hear that.


I started making cylinders tonight, facing them one at a time in the lathe.

Eric,

You have our thoughts and prayers.

Cylinders are cut out, sized, and the radius cut on one side.
I will start boring them probably tomorrow.

I made a few extras just in case, since I am still a bit green on the machining thing.

Hello Team 5-

Randel has had to withdraw from the team.



Edit: I ordered steel for the frames this evening, and will start on those as soon as it arrives.

If we can't find anyone, and some one could come up with and ship me the Aluminium I can cut the frames.

I would prefer Aluminium.

Chuck-

Be sure to note the offset distance on the crank pin is 0.816" per the REV 06 drawings.

Well, I can see tomorrow has "long day" written all over it.

Bumper cars anyone?

Looks like a good day to stay home, and make some chips!

Be careful,
Matt

Looking good Pat.

Glad they got there. I never would have thought the box would come apart with the amount of tape I wrapped around it. Next time I'll double box the shipment.

Them bases are really, really nice Ken!

Nice job!
Matt

 

[Brass_Machine]
