I can't resist adapting. I started Gails Lobo2 and thought - how about 3 cylinders as well. So - here are the cases and cylinders for a twin and triple. The trip will have either 3 carburettors ala "Sukuki trip" or car/marine type inlet maniflod. Maybe 3 expansiontype chambers for the exhaust as...

Whenever I build something, I usually try to see how far I can go. Take the Liney Thimble. How hard would it be to make a 6 cylinder radial out of it. (Those who remember, I made a 3, 5 and 9 cylinder radials out of K&S brass tubing.)( Posted somwhere here) This is original This is the 6...

Last year a young person asked me if he could make a simple engine with only hand tools. Answer, course you can. I had a copy of a design years ago but lost it. Drew another one based on K&S brass tubing. Made one up, it worked and he is now making one. I was thinking later, "How far can you...

Finally posted finished pictures of the glass engine. It has bee run on Air, not going to run it on steam for obvious reasons. I have been taking it , along with more of our glass art to quite a few exhibitions down here. Hope you like There is another thread on the progress of this...

Thinking of getting one of these for spiral milling on con-rods and pillars. Anyone used one. www.bealltool.com (Web site corrected by tin falcon)

Ok, you have me interested. As the philosopher "Clarksonius" was fond of saying, "How hard can it be". It will be a simple wobbler, roughly 16mm bore, 20 mm stroke. Lead Crystal except for the piston and rod and the mains shaft. Piston will most likely be Teflon (It will be running in a glass...

In my spare time my wife and I have a Glass studio where we fuse and Cast glass. I cast a lot of Engine parts in Lead Crystal. In the photo there is a Yamaha WRF 450 piston, Con-rod (Freelance size), Cylinder (Freelance 2 Stroke) and a Freelance Valve all out of Lead Crystal. Why might you ask...

Quick question. Where can you US people recommend to get these from. Thanks in advance. Geoff

Anyone in Troy Michigan know anything about PGS tool. Have an order for Kennametal inserts from them. Geoff

Ok, I know you people like pictures so here goes. Lathe bed machined had to wait on cutters from the US. ie 90 degree vee point, dovetail and tee slot for under the bed slide ways. Corresponding slides milled in the headstock, saddle and tailstock. All machined on my (20 year old copy of a...

A bit of basics re Gear cutting. A Gear Planer uses a cutter essentially a RACK (Straight gear with a 29 degree angle on the form). The one cutter WILL cut ANY number of teeth on a gear. Using this and borrowing from another idea from years ago (forget where) I made circular cutters (Silver...

Anyone had any problem with delivery of plans etc from Liney? Ordered Halo from them, paypal charged, email them, so far no reply. Geoff

Due to the fact that tooling is wellnigh impossible to get down here I have been shopping overseas. HSS ground thread taps/dies - www.engineering-supplies.com (UK) Cutting tools (Small carbide boring bars down to 2 mm) - www.arceurotrade.co.uk All kinds of tools - www.victornet.com US...

Hi from Tassie. I hate this site. After looking around here, I bought the PMR lathe kit (started on it after getting tooling from the US). Now I find myself waiting for the Halo kit. Just ordered from Liney. Just joking about hating this site. Already built Elmers Tiny (full size and 1/2 size)...
