That is a LOT of work you put into those frames, Chuck, but they sure look nice!  :ThumbsUp:

Great fabrication and such an elegant look. I can't wait to see this one finished. With that large flywheel it ought to tick over gracefully.

Clever way to use the tubing rather than solid round brass. The final result is beautiful Chuck.

Today I got the bearing blocks cut out.  The smaller ones are for the crankshaft and the larger ones are for cylinder pivot shaft.



The Cylinder pivot blocks will be split horizontally and held together with screws while the crankshaft blocks will remain whole.

Just about done with the frame sides.  Still have to bore out the crankshaft bearing blocks and do a bit more polishing.

The originals were works of art, so are yours!

Great work Chuck,

Thanks, Simon.

I had to do some remedial work today.  One of the frames was about .030" taller than the other.   :(  So, I unsoldered the top pieces, shortened the tubes on either size, and re-soldered it.  Luckily it went back together without mishap and cleanup wasn't too bad.



I made the 4 screws in the middle from 3/16" 12L14 Hex stock.  They are threaded 6-32 and will hold the caps on the bearing blocks.  I'm planning to go through all the top pieces to reinforce the solder joints.

Had a pretty productive day today.   I finally got it to a stage where you can get a pretty good idea of what it's going to look like...











My confidence is growing that I'll actually finish this engine.   :DrinkPint:
