Achim,I noticed you were using a, I presume, 90 degree countersink for making the valve seat. How did that work and what was the resulting valve seat surface quality? did the surface require or will require additional treatment i.e. grinding / lapping to be acceptable?Peter J.
Looking good That's a lot of parts to make How big are the valve stems? You could probably use a tailstock center to stop them deflecting when you are turning them (you could also use M5 screws as the raw material to reduce the amount of turning). The center drilling can be cut off when you making the fixing for the spring cap.
Looking good Achim. You're out in an area that I've never played in before, but its looking really nice. You do very careful, methodical work.Kim
Still watching Achim. A very fascinating model.
The valves and guide look good Achim. What did you use the Dremel stone for?Don
Very nice looking valves! Eleven of them huh? How many do you need, is it 8? So you've done 3 for the shop gnomes?Kim
