I don't get it. These people with huge machines making teeny tiny parts.  :thinking:

My little 9" Samantha Bell isn't big at all.   Parts like these are why I did the rebuild.

My 12" Logan is at least double the weight of Samantha Bell....

....and then there's the F1....the work envelope on that is about the same size as a Sherline.

Valve retainers tonight...Then start on a cylinder lap.

I'm going to go with a lapped fitted cast iron piston.

Sherline? Cowells? Huge? Better get those glasses checked Zee. Ideal machines for parts like these :)

Maybe that big new shop space has his perception all messed up :)

Ok.  Done.    Retaining pins are tiny.

This looks great so far! I started my build a week ago. Very tiny parts to work with I must say, although I haven't even started on the carb or the valves...
Kind regards

Welcome to the "Tiny" madness Marinus.  May I suggest that you post a build log of your "Tiny" journey.  You'll probably get yours finished before mine.
