Here's a link to a thread i posted on another site about mods I made to my grinder: http://www.shopfloortalk.com/forums/showthread.php?t=16899 also there's a link to Wholesale Tool for an AO wheel.

My english mastiff, and constant companion "Judge (AKA Dogzilla)" will whine and scratch at the door if he's kept out of the shop. Somes when I'm grinding, or welding he has to stay away. He's beside him self when I finally come in, or let him into the shop. Reminds me of the story about...

Thank you so much Shred and Blogwich. I've downloaded the plans. They are on my "eternal to do list. Thanks again Jim

John, Let me add my thanks for your great site. As a Rookie on engines your site in an inspiration to me. Jim

On the bottom of "John-Tom's" Elmer's plans is the "appendix" http://www.john-tom.com/ElmersEngines/ShopWisdomRevNov07.pdf In there is more detailed drawings of cylinders, shafts etc. you can get the dimensions cut off on the #33 dwg.

That answered my question. Somewhere in my stuff I have a "exacto razor saw" that would work good for that task. thank you so much. Jim

How exactly did you split it?

Making it out of two pieces is a good idea. But anyone that has for example built a "Stuart 10V" with the precast con rod. How did you split that? Maybe gluing or soldering it to a piece of scrap?

Please help a rookie out. I'm planing to build a few engines. Right now I''m starting a simple one, "The river queen". I must confess, I'm intimidated by small size parts. My question is; How do you split the bearing on a con rod? I've got the part about drilling the holes for the fasteners...

I pretty much know right where that's at. I used to do maintenance on a sewer and water plant over on Gospel Island that's close by.

Inverness would work for me. What's the address?

I'm still figuring the ins and outs of this site. But I managed to follow instructions and add my location. ;D

I'm looking forward to getting together.

This is my first engine from castings. I just received the building a "Vertical steam engine from castings" book. I hope to get the engine kit next week. Here's some questions right off to bat for you'all that have experience with this engine. I'm putting an order for BA taps and a die. So far...

I want to thank everyone for the warm welcome. Hopefully I'll start on my engine in a couple of weeks.

I'm over in Seminole, in Pinellas County. You're not very far from me. In fact my oldest son lives in Plant City. I'd be interested in getting together.

I just joined this forum, and just picked up a Stuart 10V kit. My question is what's the best source to get the "BA taps" required for this project?

I found this site a while ago. I've been reading a lot of the posts. I've been bitten by the steam engine bug. I'm recently retired and have a small shop set up in my garage. I'll post some pictures as soon as I figure out how. I just won a Stuart 10V kit on "the Bay". also bought the book on...
