Borderer Piston valve version
Team ricky:
Thanks for the reply’s ;)
I think the crank is such a critical item I’d like to have a fellow model maker help out !
It comes down the lathe size I guess , I have a proxxon pf230 and a warco mini lathe but I’d bet the larger of the two lathes still would struggle….
Is it against terms to pay people for help on the site ??
Cheers in advance

Members provide their help for free :) its all for the love of building model engines and seeing others successfully building theirs.
The only people who actually pay are the admins :headscratch: our Moderators generously provide their time for free :cheers:

There are certainly members here who will do CAD work, make parts or even whole engines for a reward as well as doing it for free.
It would be worth having a go at making the crankshaft yourself and see how you get on though I would suggest a free cutting mild steel is a better choice than Stainless not least because it is easier to machine.

Sounds like a great community going on in here ;)
Over the years I’ve always helped younger aero moddlers with small engineering jobs 👍🏼

The coolest way to make this crankshaft is by assembly by silver brazing of dead rectangular bits and round axles of metal, you just have to drill matching rectangle together to keep them identical and cut the shaft after brazing between crank web at the end...
but making one from a solid bar is also quite possible on both of your lathe, without struggle...
