Think the wife would mind???:eek: http://bangshift.com/bangshiftxl/watch-a-4000hp-locomotive-get-built-by-hand-in-1928-absolutely-amazing-video/

:o :o :o Considering it usually takes several of the miniature taps for me to successfully tap a hole, I think I had better pass on these...... ;D

Anybody seen this?? http://www.wimp.com/tiniestengine/

Don't know if this has been posted before................... http://www.wimp.com/steamengine/

Don't know if this really belongs on HMEM, but I though it was neat..... http://www.wimp.com/simplestmotor/

I found a shop that can TIG weld it for $20.00. Now I have to decide if it's worth it or not.... :-\

Brian, re your Here's one complete with your Horizontal Twin powering it.. :bow: http://www.youtube.com/user/deadin391#p/a/u/0/6sygYpkqju0

Good questions...... The base metal is forged/milled steel (as in .22 pistol frame). Ideally it should be TIG welded but I don't have access to one. It is not a repair that I plan to actually shoot although it should hold under low powered loads. (It's just that having a crack in the frame...

I will get some more pictures from different angles tonight....... (Got to go manage a "garage sale" today..)

I like the idea of using something to make the backer "non-stick". (When you say "correction fluid", is that the same as "white-out"?) Question--- how to get the backer in place without scraping off the coating as it has to go down on a hole? The brass plug and then bore it out has possibilities...

I have a cracked frame that I need to braze/silver solder. See the pictures below. The crack is ~.017 wide, .200 long and .060 thick. The hole shown is .450. My problem is that I need a way to hold the solder from running out the backside. I was thinking of turning an aluminum "plug" (that the...

You might try making your own..... It's kind of fun and not all that hard. http://home.earthlink.net/~bazillion/equipt.html

I think the 11/16ths refers to the depth of the cut-away in the interrupted thread.

I read the plans as having the threading as one with the outer shell. It is an interrupted thread that the breechblock (also an interrupted thread) slides into and then rotates 60 deg. to lock. I can't see any way to make it other than as a part of the breech bolster.

Could be the same gun. The plans were originally posted in a 1944 edition of MODEL CRAFTSMAN. I found these in an issue (date unknown) of a model railroad magazine and were posted under the name of S.A. Walter. If it turns out to be the same, I will probably have many questions for you as I get...

Sometimes a pictue is worth a thousand words..... ;D Also, I've run out of barrel material, so remaking the inner tube is not a great option..... Dean

I guess that I should have admitted that I'm trying to recover from a "whoops". The hole needs to be pretty close to 19/32nds. (.593 max). The part that goes into it should have been 5/8ths but I got a little "eager" in turning it. :-[ I need to have it close enough to locktite or epoxy the...

I need to bore a 3.25" deep hole a bit under 5/8ths dia. in a piece of 12L14. Unfortunately my longest boring bar will only go to 2.25" (I can only handle 3/8ths bars.) I'm looking at a couple of bars from LMS and have a couple of questions. One is a 6 inch (#1779) that uses carbide inserts. It...

AAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGHHHHHH!!!!!!! >:( >:( >:( There, I feel better. :D Now I can go back and pull the head off of my Upsure Vertical one more time and try again.

shred, Are you using the plans I linked to? If so, what would you consider the smallest lathe and mill they would require? Dean
