Here we go... A few years back I was searching the internet and ran across a site in which the company was selling the cyl block, steam chest, and heads for an engine with about a 2 x 2 inch bore and stroke. Some where in the USA. I've been in touch with PMR, but they claim it was not...

From a friend who recently purchased a toolmakers tool chest at an estate sale. Theses odd steel cylinders have a square hole through their length. One end has been tapped for about 1/4 the length, and each has the odd screw with a hex hole through it. Best I can tell it's a dowel for a...

An ebay pick-up from last week. I've seen a plan for this but can"t locate or name it. Smooth running on air, fwd and rev work well.

Don't know what this...at first I thought it was a milling bit for my UNIMAT, but not so. No maker's markings or part numbers..

I can't spot a maker's name in this watchmakers' lathe.. any idea of the make?

This engine has been sitting around for years. Finally ran it up on a bit of air. It took a long time to find the right taps and dies to make up a few fittings. Intend to clean it up someday. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Epi9LSkFqKs&feature=youtu.be

I'd like to make this clip that holds the field stand in it's stowed position on a WW2 BSA motorcycle. The length is a little under 6 inches. I've never machined spring steel - any advice out there, please?

Hello all. I'd like to get a copy of an article from the September 1977 edition of Live Steam. The article is by William van Brocklin and is about building/fabricating components, rather than casting. f

Can anyone shed some light as to what these engines may be? I've asked for some idea as to size, and for some better pictures..

I "re-discovered" this site a few days ago - lost among the many bookmarked sites in my long pile. I found a lot of interesting things here... http://www.vapeuretmodelesavapeur.com/ideeacreuser/index.html

I'm trying to make sense of the collection of clag known as the tap and die drawer.... What would these be used for? 1/4-32 NEF 1/8-44 NS 5/32-36 NS thanks f

My question - brief as possible... for such ancillary equipment as balers and such, What gear form would this world famous company have used? I'm talking early years here, maybe even 19-oh-whatever.. The readers' digest version... My friend - I'll call him Henry - was displaying a...

I have access to the shop at work for a few more months. I want to build a med-sized double acting oscillator while I have the chance. About a 2 " + bore, and a slightly longer stroke. Compact and vertical (at least for top and botton dead centre) cyl as a personal prefferance. Bar stock...

I have a stuart 10V that I purchased locally, a truly beautiful little engine. After much fussing about I built an adaptor (couldn't match the thread size) but all is good now and it's loosening up nicely. If I want to take it apart to apply a bit of paint - should I use locking pliers, or a...

I have seen, at an estate sale near GUELPH ONTARIO: -a mature Bridgeport mill (open belt drive-style head), and -a HARRISSON lathe (ABOUT 48" oal) Both seem to be in good order -used , but without massive dings and blemishes. I can suggest no more. There were/are no books...

I was hoping that a member on this forum might have a copy of this book. I have a copy of an article from a magazine with a few details, but would appreciate a bit more info. If the book is fairly comprehensive - I'd like to buy a copy. thanks f
