Peanuts, Popcorn,,Cracker Jacks
« on: May 28, 2018, 08:56:29 PM »
Well here’s the beginnings of my Cretors Popcorn build. Looks like I have a lot of fettling to do and I haven’t seen drawings in blue ink since the 80’s and that’s when these were drawn. I’ve asked Bill Lindsey to look over his drawings and as of the present time, we’re both scratching our head in places.







I’m just starting to get ready to start getting ready,so, stay tuned

Cletus

While you are starting to prepare to get ready to almost begin, we'll be popping more corn and warming the butter....

What's the scale?

If you can get this done by Christmas...then add chestnuts to your grocery list.  ;D

Now you can't go putting up an extract from the drawing and not tell us what part you are scratcing your arse head about?

Only bit that stands out is the missing dim of part face from cylinder C/L. In which case you will have to work out the total width of the part son the crankshaft to determine the CtoC distance of piston rod to valve rod. Then take off half vave chest thickness from that.

PS does this mean we now have a race to the finish between you and Zee :LittleDevil:
