Scaled down hit and miss steam engine (by Brian Rupnows plan)

[stefang]

Hi folks,

I was looking after a little, not so common, steam engine, I could build...then I found Brians Thread about a Hit and Miss steam engine, inclucing the great plans, I liked the overall look of it, so I decided to build it.

But for fun (we will see...I hate myself right now ), I will build a scaled down version...only 3/4 of the original plans.

Here are the first parts:

The Clutch, and the arms with the weigths (milled from one solid piece of brass, with the help of my cnc milling machine). The small pins are 1x5mm

Very compact

Tomorrow I will start machining the flywheels.

greetings
Stefan
