    Plastic gears 3D printed

    we have a few 3d printers in work and are quite capable. However, this week we had a demonstration from a guy in a rapid proto company we use from time to time on their latest metal printing (sintering) technology. They are printing full functional (~99.8% density) 316 stainless parts to a...

    My evenings work

    After coming in from working on the full sized engines, I finally got round to rebuilding the second nasmyth frame engine my late father had built after a lick of paint. A bit of a clean up and they will be ready for a show next weekend!

    Building a bigger Easton & Anderson Grasshopper

    Absolutely loving this build! I am one of those quite readers on this site. I sit back and admire some of the approaches taken, especially when it comes to mimicking castings. I will keep saving away for my own machinery (after the wedding and whatever else gets put in front of them for me :) )
