Mel- The brass top is one of the "free form" additions I plan on to make this engine personal. I roughed it out to this stage using woodworking router bits-14 degree dovetail bit for the sides and an 1/8" roundover bit for the top. The inside angles were generated with a 90 degree mill/drill end...

Tim- The press plans were from an early issue of HSM. If you are interested I'll look up the issue#. DICKYBIRD- My wife is still populating the website, she downloaded some of the T&C pictures last night. The grinder is still a work in process. Like most people, I have about four projects at a...

Well, that did not work so well! My wife is the computer expert, not me. She built a website for my hobbies as a project for school. While I try to figure this out, you can go to www.charliejoscelyn.com to view the progress so far on my hit and miss.

Fantastic looking engine and your timing is great! I started this engine two weeks ago. Your engine certainly gives me the incentive I always need to complete projects. Thanks! I currently have the frame, baseplate and crankshaft bearings made and together. This weekend I plan to machine the...

I have the HF version of the 6X26. HF is by far the cheapest brand of this particular model. The reason I selected the cheapest brand was that my intention was to extensively modify the mill to overcome some it's shortcomings. If I wasn't successfully the finanical loss would be minimal. The X ...

Although I read every post, every day I seldom contribute (shy) I have to contribute on this topic. I installed a 220V VFD and 3PH motor on my 14X40 lathe a couple of years ago. What a difference!! It worked so well that as I was saving for a new 6X26 mill to supplement my 30 year old mill/drill...

I just finished installing my second Shooting Star DRO. I had put a three axis readout on my 1985 mill-drill about 4 years ago. Absolutely no problems, the unit has worked flawlessly!! I bought a new 6X26 mill in October and actually bought the DRO before the mill. The newer Shooting Star has a...
