YK, I've started drawing out a small display table for my engines that will have a manifold with ports for several engines and room underneath it for either a...
I'm looking for a casting kit for a hit-n-miss engine, can anyone give me a line on something reasonably priced ? I'm giving a lot of thought to building a...

I thought the same thing; both cases sound suspiciously unlikely. BTW, doesn't everybody trim hedges with their mowers? ... From: "Michael C Taglieri"...
I had a chance to see one of these up close at Lathemaster on Saturday. To re-open the controversy, I think we need to keep an open mind about the 8x14s. They...
I'm not an oldtimer but this souds like the method of off-centering the tailstock I read in "How to run a lathe" for tapered cuts. Shimming it sounds a little...
I still like using a small boring head or off-setable taper if I do not have a long taper attachment. But I think I will make one of those simple long taper ...
John, Yes, I'm looking for one to build. I like the look of the engine even though it's a bit smaller than what I wanted. I'd like to build a nice quarter...
This shimming idea will work ok for a small amount of taper. The only problem is that this raises the TS center, as well as shifting it sideways. As long as...
Looks good, Dave. Is that frame powder coated? I like the mottled effect. What's the powder(?)'s product i.d.? Dave Goodfellow Lancaster, CA "No problem too...
Dave, There is no reason you could not scale the Little Angel up to a larger size. I have the drawings for the Little Angel and the Silver Angel, and they are ...
Dave, Thanks, yes the frame & parts of the flywheel are powder-coated. I experimented and also coated the boiler ( the coating cures at 400* so I think it will...

David, I have a question to which I cannot find an answer. When using a tap, there is plenty of information on what size to drill the hole for that tap. But,...
John, I've been talking with Mert about scaling them up. I just don't like the Silver Angel as much though, I really like the look of the Little Angel ( ...
I am currently building one for my first engine. I have the base, frame and cylinder finished. Now I am trying to make the crankshaft. Ben Trophy Club, Tx ......
Great info, Don. I got it and will use those charts in the future. I have it in my Favorites file now. Thank you so much.... James (Jim) Parsons ... From: Don...
Machinist's Handbooks are frequently sold on eBay. The information we need is virtually timeless, so an older issue should be fine. I got a couple for under...
Dave: I too have Bob's plans for the Little Angel, and plan to start building in about a month. If you're going to make castings I'd sure be interested. Dave...
Dave, Just kicking it around at the moment but I'd like to scale it up and make a casting. Lots of work between here & there though. Bob sure does have some ...
Hi Dave, I been using hard woods on mine, on the 2a I used cedar though because I had it on hand. On the steam plant I used oak, and on the Lucy it looked nice...
