Project Bar Stock Steam Engine
#56
This part of the build is the Valve. For some reason I was fearing this part. Not sure why, because it turned out to be really easy to make. I was wanting to use my 5C collet chuck for this part. But I have yet to get a decent backing plate made up for it. I started out with 5/8” round brass and turned it down to a nice slip fit in the cylinder 0.499. 
I also found out that my tail stock must be out slightly as I was getting a very slight taper in the part. So I had to finish it off with emery paper to get the fit I wanted. But it is a nice fit now.
