I finally got some bronze rod to make the bearings for the Wobbler that I'm building. I'm also documenting the build on my web site at The Model Engine Shop.
I've posted a couple of pics below of the progress so you don't have to go to the my site if you don't want to.
The bronze bushing is sitting above the hole it is to go into. I tried a bit of free hand engine turning using an ink eraser. Didn't turn out to bad.
Here's the frame assembled onto the base. Next will be the crank and crank pin.
This only one of two that I'm building. As I go I'm making two parts so I'll wind up with two engines.
When I reamed the hole in the bushing I used automatic transmission fluid as lube. Seemed to work pretty darn good.
