Blockhead

(1/7) > >>

PaulR:
My next project is underway despite having only the outline of a plan. As usual it'll be a blocky bar stock build, a variation (refinement??) of the single-acting twin cylinder finished a few days ago. This time there will be a single inlet and no external pipework to the cylinders. I'll also use a scotch yoke to save a bit of space between the cylinders.

Here's all the progress I have made this evening - facing the valve block/bearing and the arms of the frame that the cylinders will be attached to. I planned on using some thinner brass for the frame but couldn't lay my hands on any so this will have to do.

P.S. Don't bother clicking the thumbnail unless you're really bored as there is nothing worth looking at  :lolb:

Sanjay F:
Is this going to called Ian after Ian Dury and the Blockheads? I instinctively clicked on the thumbnail ......... interesting!  ;)

Looking forward to another build and you seem to be assimilating parts from your various other builds and bringing them together into this one?  :popcorn: :ThumbsUp:

You said "blockhead" I thought we were see an "evo motor" from Harley Davidson

crueby:
My first thought were the heads of the old Rockem Sockem Robots...

PaulR:
 :Lol: Sorry to disappoint you fellows, it won't have anything to do with robots or motorcycles (or hitting things with rhythm sticks).

As it'll be blocky in appearance and a follow on from Baldrick, in GB English a blockhead is a stupid person (bonehead, knucklehead).
