Well. Life and Procrastination seemed to have gotten in the way of my project.
I had a friend that said he would polish the aluminum base for me. I made the mistake of saying No Hurry!!!
My brother has a CNC Wood Router. I had him make up the wooden base for me. He did the engraving with an epoxy inlay.
I finally had a chance to work on my steam engine this weekend. This was the first time it has been fully assembled. It is still a bit on the stiff side while turning it over by hand. But there is no binding.
I haven’t had any air pressure through it yet. I have to pick up a couple fittings to hook it up. Once I have air supplies to it I will also be able to adjust the timing.
But I thought I would share what I have so far.
