I needed that.
For the latin impaired, that English Oak, sometimes known as Brown Oak.

Yep but more than likely grown on mainland Europe ;)

I was waiting for someone to say it was made from Boxwood :embarassed:

Also known as Common Weed Oak, that looks like a foreign import :ShakeHead: looking at the wide grain. Boxwood is much nicer its creamy yellow with a fine grain.

I wonder if Privet has similar properties to Box for making stuff  :noidea:

No look at the straight grain, plantation grown oak which tends to grow tall and straight not like if left to grow naturally like that one you had down

Don't worry Jo, both will make flames :LittleDevil:

Do you have problems with dust when spraying your engine parts? Splendid box  :praise2: I must get back into doing some woodwork.
Best regards

After letting the paint harden off for far longer than it really needed I thought it was about time to see if I could remember how it all went back together, I think this looks about right and there were no bits left over :embarassed:















It is not quite as lively now it is back together though that may be due to having to fit a new ring as I broke one during assembly though compression seems reasonable. I have not got the governor latching in this video as it does not need it at these speeds. Hopefully with a bit more tinkering it will liven up and the governor can be set to work.

Superb result Jason and a lovely runner to boot - a big 'congrats all round'  :ThumbsUp: :ThumbsUp:

And it's green as well  :o :Lol:

Love that colour - whose paint?

Thank's chaps, as I said it is not running well yet but not far off I hope.

Ramon, I did manage to sneak a bit of red on the cart so not so bad ;) The green is a bit washed out in the latest photos, if you look back a few posts to where I show them being painted that is a closer representation of the true colour, bit like a John Deere Green if you are into tractors.

The Green is Halfords finest rattle can in Rover "Java Green" over white and the red is their Honda "Rio red" over red oxide. Both finished off with clear gloss fuel proof lacquer also from halfords.

Well I don't think from this perspective Jason you are going to have to do much tweaking. Sounds very good.

I used Halfords rattle can paint on the Mc'Onie - the clear coat goes on very well too

As said very nice result  :)

Beautiful model Jason, the paint and finish work really set the whole project off!
