Engines > Restoration of Model Engines

Restoring a very badly made engine.

Thanks Kim.

Bert,

I contemplated restoring the Darrens lathe post, but with around 200 photos and related text to be edited to modern day standards and brought back into synchronisation would just be too much for me to try to do at this time.

Little would you believe it, this one took me nearly 3 hours to repost, and I reckon the lathe one would be around 10 hours.

What a splendid read John. Thank-You. It held my interest from start to finish and took me a good hour to get through. I have one of the Coles's version of this engine in my stash and I am sure that the techniques you have illustrated for us will go a long, long way to getting it finalized, one of these millennia. Beautiful work as always.  :ThumbsUp: :ThumbsUp:


regards

No problem; I quite understand. I, can imagine the time it takes to put up an elaborate build, or in this case a repair thread. To take the time to do it over and re post it is truly commendable.
I guess we just want you to understand how much we appreciate it.

Thanks again   Bert

Thank you John.  I had never seen the original of this post.  As always I learned a few things from it.

When reposting something, it isn't the pictures that take most of the time, they just need to be renamed.
I have to read every word of the text and bring it up to date, as on the original text I might be replying to someone who none of you know, plus also make sure that some things are inserted that might have been done as personal reply to an individual, otherwise things would not read correctly and could cause even more confusion.

To put it bluntly, the basic text is there, but it needs updating somewhat.

So if you do see about other posts that I have done (but not too long) that you think might be of help to be reposted, then do bring it to my attention, and I will see what can be done.

Very soon, I shouldn't need to be doing any reposting at all, as my shop will soon be ready for me to start work again.
