Awesome work so far, and I am looking forward to seeing your build progress! How did you do the raised details on the tyre former? If you would be interested in doing a tyre making/moulding tutorial it would be great.
I look forward to seeing your build progress, Steve - the Whittle is a beautiful looking engine. Love the idea of the magnetic magnifier - I'll have to try and get/adapt one here in Oz.
Glad to hear it! *beer*
Re boring bar in the lathe - I was having similar thoughts. I know this build isn't for the inexperienced, faint of heart or terminally dense, but I'm going to order your plans anyway.
Steve, I have my finger poised over the PayPal "Send Money" button. Before I mash that sucker down, can I build the Demon with a Seig X2 mill and 7x12 lathe?
Kel - what a brilliant little engine you have made. I have enjoyed every step of the way, and really appeciate your detailed thread. Looking forward to any minor remaining tweaks.
What's your next project? Whatever it is, I can't wait to watch it come together...
