    Green Twin Completed

    Very nice job Pat. I remember the start of that project and had a printout of your early cad model hanging in my office till I shut down the shop. Really glad you stuck it out and completed the twin, it’s a very good lesson for some of us I’m sure. Mike

    Where to buy acrylic sheet in the US?

    A heat gun or hair dryer seems to work well. Best to leave the paper coating intact so it is a thicker layer. If paper is scraped off, the old adhesive will soften but is hard to remove.

    Chris, Received the beam bearings. Envelope was kind of torn up but parts remained inside. My parts are being packed up for shipping.

    I've ordered a new button die that should clear up the thread fit issue. Here are the caps and rods.

    Pat, The parts look great just like everyone says. I did notice a problem with my parts however. The eccentric rod is too tight a fit in your parts. All I had to check size with was a 2-56 nut which worked ok. I'm going to make a tapped gauge and rework the rods. All of the rest of the parts...

    I am making #39 (Crankcase Bearing Cap) and #40 (Crankcase Bearing Base) as well as #15 eccentric rod which is well on it's way. I will ship them together with the flywheels and crankshafts.

    Pat, I will take on the crankshaft bearing base and cap, part numbers 39 and 40. I'll ship them with my other parts. Chris, I have some #44 drill rod for the eccentric rod, would you like me to send it? Or I could make that part also.

    Pat, Taxes give me a pain too, just a little lower than my back. I have to get some shipping material, any suggestions? Maybe USPS flat rate boxes? They seem to be the cheapest.

    Flywheel setscrew holes are done and they are ready to go. Most of the cranks are ready also. I don't remember if the team members address's were posted, any clues? Maverick

    Hi Team, My parts are going really well, I do have a pic but can't find my photobucket account info. If one of you will send me your email address, I will send a pic for you to post. I'm down to finish work and the setscrew hole on the flywheels. There are 8 Crankshafts done and 2 that got...

    Pat, I am continuing with my parts, there has been more progress in the last month that most of last year. I have some pics but was unable to access my old photo sharing account. Is this still the only way to post them? I could email them to someone for reposting if someone could PM an...

    I have at this time 8 crankshafts (some need journals polished) and 2 to solder. Also 8 flywheels (no spokes yet) and material for the rest. I've spent most of the last year barely able to work at all but improving slowly. Will try to post updates and even pics if I can find my photobucket account.

    Chuck, I have the address list from Pat, one crankshaft coming your way. Go ahead and try it and if everything looks OK I'll send out some more. Sorry it's taking so long. I'm happy to have so much work, but spare time is rare. Regards, Maverick

    A short update, I've got 4 crankshafts finished, 4 more soldered, 1 "lost in process" and hopefully enough parts to make 4 more. The flywheels are still waiting to be machined. Chuck, I can send a crank so you can test fit the rest of your parts. The flywheel will catch up in a few weeks...

    Here is a peek at the crankshaft progress. The one in the foreground is freshly silver brazed and the other has had a bit of cleanup. My previous silver brazing experience was on carbide form tools and various industrial repairs where appearance was secondary. There is quite an art to...
