Stewart Hart's book :- Making Model Victorian Stationary Engines

[sbwhart]

Hi

Just thought I'd post the link to my book "Making Model Victorian Stationary Engines" the forum will know these engines under to pottyengineering title, lots of these engines have been made by forum members the book has all the drawings and a step by step guide on how to make them.

Thanks for your interest in my book guys, if you do get one please give it a 5 star rating   

Its been quite a while since I posted had a few health issues (big C) all clear now hopefully, producing the book kept me busy. I'll try and post a few projects in the future.

Happy new Year to you all

Great news Stew!

Note a minor error in the vertical cross single drawings. Page 104 shows the bearing bore to be 8mm but the crankshaft on Page 105 is 6mm diameter.

Thanks Ken I've marked my copy up so that it can be corrected if we have a second addition

It would be really nice if any errata could be posted here.

Looks like I misinterpreted the drawings. There is a diameter reduction on the shaft to fit the web, but the shaft itself is assumed to be the diameter of the bearing (8mm).

  I received my copy of your very informative and well written book last week and have enjoyed reading it. Now to gather materials and do the building.

[sbwhart]

Thanks for obtaining my book Art I hope you enjoy reading it and building the models

Just checked my master drawings and the mistake is mine not the printers the crankshaft dimensions were missed off both the vertical and grasshopper engines I hope it hasn't caused too much confusion but thankfully you can deduce the size from other parts.

If anyone spots any other errors I'd be very grateful if you let me know.

Howdy Stewart,
Nice to meet you sir!
Small world I reckon.
I was on another site like this (HMEM) and saw mention of your book.
I immediately looked it up on Amazon and ordered it.
That was about two months ago.
I got inspired and have started building the horizontal engine.
So, thank you for getting me off high center and back to making 'chips' again.
Regards,
Jim
