Great chart Thomas. I just printed it off with the last the ink in the printer, wife not happy! I could of used this last week when I converted Bill Lindsy's Rotary Beam engine to metric. Thanks Ben.

Hi, I made this up, my version of a simple oscillating engine from Steve's Workshop and a series by Miss Emma on youtube. I'm having problems when I post pictures - they coming out sideways. So sorry in advance if it happens here. Ben.

HI, Was your little rotary table expensive or a one from India or China? Ben. ps Nice work too.

HI Jens, I figured you meant turps for threading in Cast Iron. I generally use kerosene when working with aluminium. Today, however I used Magic Tap which worked well. The threading kit I bought has Atco stamped on the taps. I've tapped from No 0 to 4 so far. I haven't encountered any...

HI, I bought a cheap BA tap and die set from India (specially for the 10V build I will eventually get around to doing). I haven't used it yet but today or tomorrow I will tap a hole of each size in a aluminum thread board I have. I don't have any cast iron laying around. I'll let you...

Hi, I bought a 10V kit directly from Stuart last year with a extra flywheel. I think I paid $40 AUD for shipping, arrived two later. Oh, I live in Australia - just outside of Sydney. I can't comment on the quality of the castings yet as I haven't started the project yet. Ben

Hi, This is my latest finished project. A vertical wobbler. Pretty much a Tubal Cain but a little bit bigger. I just winged it when I made it but it runs ok. I did most of it at work and some at home. Ben. p.s. The base is made out of an old first attempt of a crib board (I didn't make it...

Hi Rudy, Great start on your 10V. I have the box of castings staring at me every day, reminding that I haven't started yet. Please post your photo's, suggestions, advice etc. I'll definitely read with interest. Cheers Ben.

Hi Rudy, I can't see your photographs. The picture insert says "upgrade your account - photobucket" or something similar. I don't use photobucket other than looking at other peoples posted photo's, does that msg mean I need to use photobucket or do you need to do something? I don't mean...

HI, I bought these: http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/BRITISH-ASSOCIATION-0-BA-TO-10-BA-TAP-DIE-SET-COMPLETE-KIT-NEW-BOXED-B-A-/192198806114?hash=item2cbff10a62:g:BPsAAOSwtGlZKSpQ they are from India and took a month to turn up but seem ok (I haven't used them yet though). There is HSS sets...

That's a nice looking model. Great job. Ben.

Thanks for the replies. I did manage to get it running for a short while this afternoon with some minor modifications and lots of oil. I drilled out the inlet ports and smoothed out the sliding faces. I haven't finished yet. I'm keen to make another with proper plans. I made this one with...

Hi, I just stuffed my first attempt at a double acting wobbler. So, I think I need some actual plans instead of just winging it. I've searched this forum and the usual sites but I can't find anything. Any help would be appreciated (it's really going to bug me until I make one now)...

HI, Sorry to revive an old thread but has anyone made this wobbler? I'm thinking of giving it a go. Cheers Ben.

Hi, I found the link and got in contact with Bob. Plans are on the way. Cheers Ben.

Hi Pasco Kid, Can you send your Grand dad my way? He would be great assistance to me! Do you have a link for the plans, or a way to a website for them? Great model. Ben. Just found it. So do you have go pay for the plans? How much are they if you do...

Hi, Thanks for the encouragement. The double acting wobbler is coming along nicely but that could change this weekend - I intend to do some work on it at home. I guess for interests sake I should explain my situation. I live on the Central Coast of NSW but work in south western Sydney...

Hi Tony, I love what you did with the old cannon. And how you recycle/repurpose bits and pieces. What is the wire cutter? Is it hand held or mechanical? Cheers Ben.

Hi, My first attempt at a Tubal Cain Wobbler. It's not as good as most of the efforts posted here but I had fun making it. I'm going to make another this week I hope. Ben.

Great little engines. I can't wait to get started on mine. Regards Ben.
