Extrusion Press

Been out in the workshop again these are the container pistons and rods

 

[JaguarB]

These nine tie rod nuts have taken three weekends to complete, I have included the drawing and a picture of the actual nuts. The larger model nuts at 1/12 scale weigh 80 grams each so the real thing would weigh 12 * 12 * 12 * 80g =138Kg so I have modeled over a tonne of steel saying it like that three weekends is not so bad. The next thing is 24 10BA * 5/8 bolts and nuts to clamp them. PS the tie rods do not yet exist.

Hi, Im very impressed with the quality of the work so far. This should make a very interesting model and now that spring seems to have sprung there is no excuse for not getting into the workshop

Made some more parts over the holiday
Main ram and holder 5 pads and the control desk bracket
Its a lot harder and takes more time than I first thought making my own model design and then scale drawings

Good to see you are back at it, impressive project.

Early on in my career I was involved with the building of the real deal, an extruded that is, still a great memory and experience.

Great to see some progress on this very interesting project. Not the type of thing you see everyday and your workmanship is supurb; which makes it just that much more enjoyable.

Thanks for posting,
Dave

Good to see some more progress on this one, always good when you can start bolting bits together.

As I sit here I am looking at my 70% finished two year project started in 2010. As well as another started in 2013 that I haven't touched in a year.

Life keeps changing my time tables. UUUgh..!

A very different project for sure. Looks great, nice work.
