There's nothing wrong with working at slow speed Paolo.... That's all I ever do! :big:

Sorry to hear of your lathe trouble.... it's not good to have a machine out of use, I remember the weeks my lathe belt snapped and I couldn't use it..... Horror!! :big:

at least you have found something to do in the time the lathe is out of action

Won't be too long now.... we will be able to see it all together. well once your lathe is fixed that is! ;D

I don't know how I missed the 2nd part of this thread. The boiler builds are fascinating to me. I have only built one and it was a small one at that. I have some of the stuff to start another.

Back to you Paolo... great job. Wish I started watching the build sooner. Look forward to the rest of it.

Good to see you back at it Paolo. ;D

A self design for the mill repair... And the trap of not having the mill to make the parts on!!!!

This is not good!

Hopefully you will get it sorted out soon?

Meanwhile, Your boiler is moving along

That's something Eh?

Good luck with the mill repair

Ralph.

Thanks Ralph
I have to sort out Ralph. Maybe I found the way a professional machinist maybe will do all of the parts for me.Tomorrow morning I'll give him the drawings and we chat about it and...." the price"!!!
Yes, fortunately the boiler seams moving along... :big:
Thanks for supporting me..

Paolo,

Good work on your boiler. :bow:

Sorry to read about all your machine troubles coming at once.

Speed is not important and at least the boiler is keeping you busy.

Hang in there it will come good soon.

Best Regards
Bob

Lathe is working well...after some difficulties. Mill..is out!! Just jesterday I sold out the table and others parts... I did a very trial before to decide to buy a new mill. I decided to buy an Optimum Bf20 Mill..very nice!!!
Last works...water gauge and gas jet nozzle...

steamer · Feb 4, 2009

Interesting a combined throttle and lubricator....that would make excellent sense now wouldn't it.

Thanks for posting that!

Dave

Paolo · Feb 6, 2009
