The detail is excellent.And tell us the story on that anvil.
Nice trick with the nuts Chris. I just had one of those "now why didn't I think of that?" moments. I so often do, when following your builds.--Tim
I use standard, but smaller nut and re-drill and tap them. A standard 2-56can be drilled out to 4-40, a 4-40 and be drilled for 5-40, etcIts pretty easy to clamp one in a vise and drill and tap. Wonder of those combination drill-tap devices would work? i will have to try that.My current project, the Cornwall Forge engine wants square nuts. I have not found a good way to do that yet.
lots more work done there ,I wish i could do more as everything i do seems to take forever !! Also will you be putting spots of weld on the tines as they used to do to build them up after constant use ? Just a thought !! ::

I have not found a good way to do that yet.I made about 75 square nuts, threaded 2-56, for my wooden beam engine. If you find a good way to make them, let me know, as making those square nuts was a royal PITA.
