Yet another #17

[mzetati]

Hi all,

here's a few pictures of the Elmer's Pumping Engine I made run little time before joining this forum. Since then, I added a nice wooden base (first engine fitted on a properly made oakwood base) and ... parted off with it.
The .pdf is a collection of notes and pictures taken during its construction.

PS.
Definitely, my 'next' engine will be a single cylinder: anytime I was finishing a new part, I was half the job! (to say nothing about the railing... :- )
Now, I'm talking about the railing.. ...having the columns screwed into the base was really a BAD idea! Either press fitting into the base or inserting a counterbored screw from the bottom would have taken to nicer results, with less efforts.
