Some of my self-made machines.

Hi folks, here are a few pictures.
Inspired by G.H.Thomas book and Hemingway kits.
The parts for the Pillar Tool were manufactured without the available cast parts.

Very good looking parts. Did I see correct that the table on the pilar tool can be tilted? Do you ever use this feature? I have a really cheap (sad really) drill press, where this "feature" is more a bug, because the table flexes or moves.

 

[Bruno Mueller]

Yes, I have made an additional holder for the table. This can be swivelled. This allows me to make defined angled holes in small parts. As the machine only has a maximum capacity of 4 mm, the pressure is not very high. The flange attachment of the turning base is also large enough.

And now a few pictures of my steam engines.

 

[timo_gross]

Is that a steam pump for boiler feed?

 

[Bruno Mueller]

Yes, a two-cylinder double-acting steam feed pump.

Nice engine work !

[Bruno Mueller]

I have made a few pumps.

 

[timo_gross]

Is this pin for riveting?

Pumps are interesting, is it true that the pumps are more diffcult to make than an engine?

Nice work all-round. Thank you for posting.

Hi Bruno. Welcome ! I visited your website a couple of years ago. I have been building some pillar tool mods to your design.
Tschuss !

Very impressive work, great looking engines!

I love to see tools that we all make in order to make more tools in order to make parts. ON my burner is a long list but one of the first is a simple tool: a squeeze type knurling tool. And many more.

Hi just wondering if you have purchased any kits from this site, https://www.ts-modelldampfmaschinen...nungsmotoren/verbrennungsmotor-karl-benz.html

I have sent emails but they never reply

Hello guys and girls.
I had some problems logging back into this forum, these problems seem to have been resolved as far as I can tell so far.
So I can continue.
I installed a second homepage a few years ago. It is only the Bosch-Combi system from the late 50s until about the end of the 70s of the last century.
The address is: https://bosch-combi.de/
I have two of these lathes. Unfortunately, the cross slide was missing from the last machine I bought, which I reproduced from the original slide.
You can find more information on the page.

I will post some pictures here.

Welcome back Bruno.
Sorry for the log-in trouble.
Those are some very interesting little machines.
I like your shop too !

I ordered two small sprocket pullers from Amazon. The smaller of the two is perfectly fine. It is made entirely of steel and parts of it are hardened. The slightly larger of the two was made of an aluminium alloy and broke immediately when I tried to pull a sprocket off an engine. I then rebuilt this puller from steel.

Yes, it took a few days and many emails via Dieter (GRAUBELE) until it finally worked again.

Many years ago I bought a set of castings for a double steam engine from him. Since then, however, I have had no further contact with Thorsten Schürr.
