Arnold, Congratulations. I have been occupied with overhauling a boat and other distractions. Not sure when I will be back to this hobby. Get up the good work. Merry Christmas to all. SAM

Gauge3, Thanks for the pictures. Now I can understand what you did. I have to file this for future use. SAM

Pat, Thanks for the drawings. After I finish up some things I'm working on, I intend to attempt building the Bernay engine. Thank you for documenting this engine so well. Regards, SAM

An interesting post. I'm not sure that I am visualizing correctly what you said. A picture is worth a thousand words. th_wwp SAM

Martin, I'm green with envy over the quality of your green paint job. You have built one fine looking engine. SAM

Bob, I just saw your videos and Nina looks good and runs like a scalded cat. Maybe you can start a locomotive drag racing club. I'm looking forward to seeing what Nina has in store for us next. SAM

If he can get $105K for that beautiful engine, I should be able to sell mine for $0.00025K :big: SAM

Kel, You are off to a great start. You make it seem so easy, but I know better. How about an evaporative cooling system. Build a catch pan below the engine and pump water over the engine and let it run down on the outside. I will be following this build closely. SAM

Dave, Thank you for taking the time to demonstrate casting an aluminium wheel. I realize the amount of effort it takes to produce a video and appreciate you doing it. Regards, SAM

Chris, It looks like you are well on your way with this engine. Please keep us posted on your progress. SAM

Orrin, What a beautiful engine. Its a show piece to be proud of. SAM

Orrin, Very nice engine. We are all looking forward to seeing it run. Good job. SAM

Pete, Your engine looks wonderful and I'll bet that you will get it sorted and steaming down the track. Keep up the good work. Regards, SAM

Isn't it amazing how much time can be consumed trying to make this wonderful, labor saving device work. Have you noticed how computers have made us paperless. Now everyone in the world has a paper consuming printer in their home. I have paper everywhere. Time to go shred more paper. SAM

Goofy, Clever. Just make sure you cover up your machine so that you do not get any grinding dust on it. As you know, that dust will grind your machined surfaces away if not cleaned up. SAM

One thing that I do now when ordering small taps is to purchase at least 2 of the same size. I still break taps but not as frequently as I used to. In fact, I broke a 3-48 die nut the other day. So I guess I will start ordering spares for the smaller dies too. Just my $0.02 SAM

Bob, Very nice. I'm looking forward to seeing a video on Nina running on tracks. Good luck. SAM

I looked at the spot drill bits end view and it looks like the same profile that my Drill-Doctor sharpener calls a "split point". With the "split point" profile the instructions claim that the bits are self starting. SAM

Jerry, How about using a turnbuckle nut in the middle of the rod for adjusting the length. I believe that you would need to cut both right and left handed threads. SAM

robwilk, Now that's what I'm talking about! Great job and I really like the polish job you did on your engine. The movie really shows your work off well. Regards, SAM
