The next part of the Bar Stock Steam Engine is the Yoke. This is the part that will connect the rod from the Cam to the end of the Valve. I was actually surprised how easy and fast it was to machine this part due to its size. It is 1.00 x .250 x .500. I used some of the techniques I learned while machining the rails on the backside of the cylinder, which I think made it easy.
