Thanks Bill Bill.
Shop time is always expensive. Caught a little flak for not spending time with daughter.

Might work. Although it reminds me of 'white gold', which is something I've never understood.

Found the issue I was having with Enco. Had to close and reopen the browser.

Windows doesn't seem to like having things open for too long.

Yeah, when I leave my windows open too long, lots of bugs get in - stinkbugs! Probably something to do with my screen properties...

Oh yea, try to fool the old coonass. Could be some alloy we find in the swamps  but I still like it Zee.........

Looking Good Carl

How did you do the fillet around the post of the Front housing? Was it with a ball nose end mill?

[zeeprogrammer]

Thanks Phil.

Paul...at least those stinkbugs aren't blood-sucking parasites. Hate them.
No one around here knows what chiggers are.  They know ticks and mosquitoes...but not chiggers.

Oh yea, try to fool the old coonass.

A challenge!

So what happened to the other Bills in the posts with more than two pics? Or is it one Bill per 'worthwhile pic'. 
No doubt you gave me a 'gimme'. If not two.

Thanks. Yes...ball nose end mill. Which I ruined because I forgot to add lubricant. Got some aluminum welded to it and can't get it off. Worse than a booger.

Kind of sad really. Our old pal Vernon sent it to me as a gift. Miss that guy.

Thanks Carl

Too many rpms or too fast feed speed?

I get all my End mills from this Ebay supplier - So far they have been great value (I tend to go for the carbide ones)

Too many rpms or too fast feed speed?

Probably too many rpms. I tend to feed slow. But to be honest, I don't really know what 'slow' is in this world. Still learning.

I'm fine with the boo-boos. Teaches me the limits.

  Good one.
Can there really be too many Bills?

And sometimes, one of something is too much. Eh Cletus?

It's looking like a real engine. Great work so far that has turned into a real learning experience.
