Works for me Chuck. Nice to have you back.

Welcome Chuck, we knew you would come up for air at some point in time.

We would be most happy to get your parts.

We have a new team member, and he seems to be doing well with his parts.

I am still working on my parts, but I think I am closing in on some good final parts.

If my assembly goes well in the next day or so, then I will have all the techniques down, and can wrap it up.

I have had to make a lot of jigs to hold everything square, and get the round parts machined correctly for the frame.

I hope to have a second frame done in a few days, and with the jigs I have, the other frames should go more quickly.

I finally have some shop time of my own and am working on the heads. Maybe some pictures this afternoon.

Pat- Once the heads are done I may have time to help on remaining parts or ?
Just let me know.

Good News Mike. We'll be assembling these engines before you know it.

 

[JorgensenSteam]

Thanks Mike-

We will have to decide on what to do about the parts that are left.
The main items remaining are the ones by Chuck, and he started them, but I am not sure where he stands on them.
Chuck, you able to wrap up your parts?

If we don't hear back from Chuck by Friday (4-4-11), we will reassign parts and finish this thing up.

Keep up the good work.

We will finish this team built soon.

The embellishment on the face of the head needed a form tool made, so here it is.

Looks Great Mike!

Mike-

Those heads look great.
I never would have thought of using a form tool.

Glad the smoke has finally cleared Chuck. Whatever it is you do at work, I'm glad your part of the economy is booming.

We'll have these engines running soon.

 

[JorgensenSteam]

If I get Chuck's parts, I am going to fall down and kiss the ground.

Pat J

 

[kjk]

I want to see that too. At least there's grass in Memphis - I still have ice and snow.

I'm getting excited - we'll be building soon!

Team builds can be a long bumpy ride but are worth it the key is hanging together and pushing forward to the end. sounds like things are coming together. Good work all.

Ok, I am off to take some photos and to do some ground kissing.
