Hi Kevin:

A little "late to the party" - well done! The assembly video is brilliant - had a good time at work today showing it to some colleagues.

I got the drawings from Jan this weekend and am going to make a holiday project out of this. Got all the stock on hand except the flywheel blank and test tubes. It's going to stress the Sherline machines at some stages but "mind over matter". Will hopefully post a result in the New Year.

Best regards, Mati

Thanks a lot Matti!

If you are around next week I can score you the left over slug of 360 1/2 hard, for the flywheel. I've also got 2 inch long 4-40 SHCS. Let me know.

All the best with your build!!

Here we have gone from "virtual reality" to "real reality";

Here is the second run, after only a little tweaking;

Now for a little polish and some fine tuning.

Have fun!

Hello Kevin,
I am intrigued by Jan's design and have started building it. I am having problems though with sourcing the test tube and hope you can advise a suitable source.
Your model is superb and I love watching the video.
I note you are located in Ozz so I am hopeful your source might be easy for us Kiwis to buy from.

All the best for the festive season - Cheers
Ron
