Hello all you home foundry guys! I need to work out a deal to get some one to make me a casting or I need to make a trade for a large piece of stock. Purchase price is going to be very high if I have to buy new stock. I would be willing to pop out some CNC parts or things of that nature as an...

Hello all! I finished this little guy up Wednesday. I thought I had a timing issue but it turns out the Lexan base was not rigid enough. I popped out an aluminum base tonight and had a 2 minute run. I'll consider all my work from here on beautification and performance tweaking! Hope you...

I'm sure Austin will like some feedback and I'm not too bashful to get it started. I'm not really digging the new home page. The topics seem to be entirely random and a little less than my OCD can handle in the layout. Now I got to go change my browser settings to open to the new forum page...

Hello gentleman, I frequent eBay and I am always on the prowl for old magazines such as "Home shop machinist" and the like. Recently I ran across a 1988 issue of HSM that featured "Whatzit" IC engine by Philip Duclos. Here...

In the hobby world we don't always see what all is out there. I work in a major factory and we have some unbelievable stuff. There's been a lot of talk lately on tooling and machines so I wanted to show some of this stuff. We use these OSG drills, you won't believe the last setup in this...

Well I've done it now. I've babied my laptop for just over two years. It's been a crappy work weekend any way. So just add this to it. Like I said, babied my laptop for over two years only to drag my charger and wire across a Diet Mt Dew spilling it into the keyboard. The screen...

What do you guys think about the possibility of these two concepts actually working? http://youtu.be/CBhRZ3pLh_M and http://youtu.be/lrmfAmpkjP0

Hi everybody, My name is Jeremy. This is my first visit to YouTube Anonymous. I'm a YouTube video addict. No matter how much I watch... it seems there's more to see. I can never seem to see them all. I'm also currently addicted to little flame lickers and Stirling engines. So I'm...

This will be my first flame licker engine. It was a nice yet simply looking design I found on a French forum I frequent. Designed by Christophe Fournier. A great gentlemen, he will be happy to talk to you. I only had an hour and wanted to make a part I could finish for the satisfaction of...

I don't know why... this is cracking me up! We sold Emu oil at a pharmacy I worked at. The guy who owned the farm brought the product in himself. Emus were all the rage for a few years back in the early to mid 90's here in the US. People were calling them the solution to everything, even...

Another website with many drawings. http://www.packratworkshop.com/lib15.htm They appear to mostly be Elmer's but there are others. I thought it worth sharing.

Well, it's that time of year for us at work. It's annual clean up time as far as offices and so forth regarding old documents. They even extend this to computers. It's our "document destruction" season. It basically means I have to dump everything onto my thumbdrive for a week or two until...

Does any one have a copy of "Maschinen im Modellbau" from 06/2009 with this gorgeous little Huib Visser build in it: http://home.hccnet.nl/hvisser.5/stirling-40.html or even a set of drawings? Seems as tho none of the links to drawings on Huib's website are still valid.

I don't know if any one has noticed my recent infatuation with stirlings... particularly rhombics but, can any one identify this rhombic or locate drawings? http://saduino.ch/mechatronic/index.php?article=umdrehungsgeschwindigkeit-von-stirling-motor-mit-hallsensor-messen Not that the 4 i'm...

Can any one identify this stirling? Furthermore, can any one tell me if this is a working model or just something some one drew up in CAD? My dad is wanting another small engine for his desk at work, one that is "easy" to run (not requiring compressed air or giving off nasty exhaust) so he can...

While I have spent a couple hours digging up internet hooha I haven't found an actual model excluding a YouTube video or two. None of the ones I found actual models of have prints. Actually the only prints I've been able to find are here...

Hello all, In observance of the introductions rule, I've waited until I had a little steam engine completed to post and introduce myself. I'm not completely new to engines but it has been quite some time since I built one. I've got about 16 years machining experience, own my own small shop...
