Today i begann building the "Standby" ( http://www.john-tom.com/ElmersEngines/19_standby.pdf ) It looks like a simple machine to build, but the hard part for me are the imperial measurements, because i am used to work in metrics, my trusty calculator will be my best friend during this project
Today i got started with the frame, which i cut out of 10mm aluminum plate with the bandsaw and milled it to size, the drilling has been done on the milling machine.
Drilling the hole for the crankshaft bearing
Drilling the steam channel, 2mm drill, ~35mm deep, took a while to do this...drill a few millimetres, retract the drill, brush of the chips, lubricate, drill a few millimetres
next time i try to take some better pictures
