RE: 5 Cylinder Radial - Brian - 01-22-2016
Thanks Lad's, I think I have found my way out of it ,so expect work to resume shortly, as soon as I recover from falling down the stairs.
Only a few bruises and a bit shook up so OK.
Brian.

That's no good! A fall like that can change your life. I advise against it. :)

Stay safe Brian - a zimmer frame can be a future project build but only after this one is finished!
RE: 5 Cylinder Radial - Brian - 01-23-2016
On the other hand this could be the power unit for a zimmer

All OK now. I am back to what seems normal to me.
The head now has inserts fitted. and valve seats cut. work on this head will continue leaving the others untill I have it finished correctly. complete with the cam, the damaged head will be used to prove the set up's.
This is another of my awful video's I lost some of the captions on this one in the down load, oh well keep trying.

Hi Brian,
I fixed the link for you, so it is displaying properly, but I do see that some of the captions are cut off on the bottom. Check your original video to make sure that didn't happen in the editing.

Hi Tom
Thanks for fixing the Video.
the captions where lost when i exported the video to the format for downloading to Youtube
I must be sizing the photos incorrectly and the automatic resizing chops of the bottom.
I am sure I will get the hang of it eventually.
Thanks again for the back up Brian.

As the material was square I decided to machine the inside first while it was simple to hold it in the 4 jaw.
Next came the end plate, now looking at the bar I wondered if it was possible to turn the spigot on the end and part off the piece, Now the bar was 12 1/2" long and my lathe is a 12x7 but it went between the small 4 jaw and the centre just dandy.
Next the part was milled to size, But as I had to raise the head to clear the rotary table and boring head I now had to lift my small vise to reach the cutter.
Now the real work can begin.
Well we all have our funny day's don't we.
