Thanks guys, that firefly looks interesting, i also just got the plans from Jan Ridder for the Puppy Mk2 which also looks good. I would like to the do the webster in the future, but maybe when ive had a chance to give gear cutting a go. I just need to get back in the workshop now and start...

Hi Guys, Ive been a member for a long time, built a few small steam/air engine back in 2012 (one was the EZ one). I have an AMA25LV Mill, and a Sieg C3 Lathe. Ive not been in the workshop for a long time and want to get back. My first tasks are to strip, clean and re-setup the mill &...

Hi Guys, Due to a change in my job a while back, i just don't get time in the workshop anymore, I kept trying for a year and have just not been able to find the time, so rather than let it go to waste, I am looking to sell my equipment. The main piece is my AMA25LV Mill from amadeal, it's...

Hi Guys quick few questions, I have finished the carb and cylinder head, and done as much as I can on the cylinder, the vertical bore is done, but for the horizontal bore what would be the best method? I guess i have 3 options: Buy drills upto 14mm and make a D-bit as a reamer Buy a Boring...

Hiya I have an AMA25LV from amadeal in the UK. This is the same machine as the TM20V I beleive, but likely has some differences. I am very happy with the machine and is nice and sturdy. They are rebadged Weiss mills. I paid extra for a powerfeed and a Sino DRO and it's been a pleasure to...

Thanks Toronto, will have a search and see what I can find over here. I found one or two but they were £120 per pot. I will look for the acrylic resin type. Thanks Again

Also, anyone have any reccomendations for floor paint/primer that will act as a vapour barrier? Thanks DJH

Hi Rob, I do have a dehumidifer but it does not work below 15 degrees C, it is currently 1 degree in there. Do you mean the compressor type? As I don't think I can afford one at the moment. I think my next step is to paint the floor so that it acts more like a vapour barrier, and then seal...

Hi Martin, not in any clubs, I used to fly model helis but now I just play in my workshop trying to make engines, (trying being the operative word) Thanks DJH

Hi Toronto Builder, thanks for such an informative post. I will look into the primer for the floor/walls and anti-mould paint for the ceiling. There are no windows in the building but think I can improve the double door area. The only issue I have is heating as I can see that costing me a...

Thanks guys, will have a look on youtube at the mentioned process, and have a go at grinding a cutter to to be the right width for the fins. Thanks DJH
