I've just achieved a significant milestone with this build in that I've just got it running on air

   

Its runs a little lumpy because I only roughly centred the valves by eye and I had left some of the brackets lose so things should get better . I've still got to make the radius link to complete all the motion works but I'm very pleased that I've reached this important milestone.

A RUNNAH! That's a marvellous milestone, Stew! 

It looks very, busy, with all the linkages moving in different directions.

Hope, you can persuade it to run forwards. Sometime soon......

That's great Stewart, quite an achievement to get to this point. Well done!

Lovely job.

Stew, that is so cool!  You should feel good about that!  Just love watching all that linkage go this-way-and-that!

Thanks for your support and encouragement chaps.

With a long term projects these important milestones help give your enthusiasm a boost. Once I have the last motion link made and after a little more tinkering, its going to be set aside whilst I get busy with a little short term project I have planned then I'm going to start on the tender, I have a part finished tender that I bought so I have a bit of a head start, once I have that finished it will be dusted off and a start made on finishing it off, but there is still a lot of work to be done on it.

Thanks again
Stew

Hi Stew

I have just watched your video 

It must be fantastic to hear and see it run for the first time

I hope my Conway runs as well

Cheers
