Replaced ANOTHER bearing in the sawmill third one in the same location this summer. This one might have lasted 3 hours. The races keep shattering. Went to a different supplier this time. When it went this time it spun on the shaft so had to reverse the shaft/
Free advice is worth exactly what you payed for it.

One of my favourite topics, backed by one of my favourite pieces of music. John, you sure know how to serve it up.

Thanks for sharing.
Mike

I don't believe I've seen another steam engine that large. They certainly are graceful.

Thanks for posting it John.

That is one fine video John, I also liked the music at the end. Smiley-signs107
Seems to me the larger the steam engine the more graceful it is.

Done to the point of being useful. I want to add some sort of treatment on the edge to make for a better grip. I don't have a knurler so I'll likely mill some scallops around the edge.

Nice Ed, your way ahead of me, that one is still on the list.
Spent the afternoon moving firewood into the shed, only 1/4 full, disheartening.
