I tried to take a video of the Screw cutting clutch I designed for the Mini-Lathe sometime back. I was appalled with my efforts so I regrettably have decided to steer clear of making them. Some people have a talent for these things and unfortunately I don't. However if I can cajole my Son-in-law into making one I will be only too happy to post.

My best regards
Gray,

Graham,
I have always wondered what oil wet sump steam engines use. I assume condensation accumulates quickly at startup, but subsides quickly as it warms up. The brass construction probably helps with quick warm-up. What oil do you use for flash steam runs?
