I to have the book but I like drawing sheets in the workshop. As for CAD I have tried in the past and it’s beyond me. A pencil and a bit of paper does me fine.

Thank for that I will look into it.

Great job I can see you are pleased as you should be.

Great job and sounds great.

OK no rush waiting to hear from you. Bob

What sort of problems have you had with the valve gear? Would you consider selling it and have you any pictures of it. My email is [email protected] If you want to correspond and send pictures. Bob

Hi all am gathering materials to build the Bentley BR2 rotary engine, have the book by L K Blackmore but was wondering if anyone has a set of drawings for the said engine. On that line has anyone started one and it is now lingering under the bench unloved and would like to sell it or parts on.

I am looking to make a Steam Siren for my traction engine. Can anyone point me in the direction of some drawing for one please. Tried goggle but nothing comes up. Thanks Bob

As you did before make a mandrel to fit the gear blank but long enough so when in the chuck the cutter will not touch the chuck. You will also need a support on the outer end to make it rigid, very much like a tail stock.
