Hi all ,
I've been following this sight with interest for some time now and have keen interest in tackling my first IC engine .I really like the I deal of the Webster engine or similar engine as my first go at creating a running engine .There are some great threads on the Webster with a lot of good information coming from people with experience in building there own websters .
I have build a couple of steam engines in the past and they have turned out quite well for first builds and even run quite well ,I have made a lot of tooling in my workshop for lathe and mill etc .I have the capabilities for making gears which I have had a play around and seem to be able to manage to get the results I want .I have made a few dummy cam shafts just as trial runs using my mill with the indexing head to machine them with reasonable results also .all of my equipment is set up for metric mainly and here lays a small issue as a lot of the plans on here are imperial .
I would like to know if anyone out there may have a set of plans in metric for building a Webster or similar engine .I don't mind if the plans are for a slightly larger engine than the original Webster as my machines are on the larger size and more likely suited better for building a slightly larger engine.also my eye sight is not like it used to be and I do struggle at times with smaller items to machine .
Any help in this area would be greatly appreciated .
These are some of the items I've made over the years as an idea of were my skill sets at ,I'm still always in the learning area
