Just Another Model steam Engine
Jack:
I found a little time to get in out of the heat (its been over 100 degrees for the past couple of weeks in the midwest) and into the basement shop to work on my latest steam engine project.
I have made most of the easy parts so far, I think that I should be able to start the valve and reversing gear next week. I'll keep you all up to date with pics as I go. Stay tuned..
Does anyone know how or what to use to watermark my pictures on an older Mac? Think 10.4 I would like to protect my pictures and intellectual property.

I think your thread title should be "Hey! It's Another Model Steam Engine!" because that is a fine example you've got going there, Sir. Don't forget this is a forum where there is no such thing as "just another steam engine". :old:

Jack,
I have to agree with Dennis.
Every little (or large) engine we build is precious to the person who built it, no matter how mundane the subject.
You've making a wonderful job of this one. :cheers:

I had a good day in the shop today and the part of the day is the valve chest cover. I just happened to have a small piece of cast iron that I milled to the correct thickness plus a little. I used my mini CNC mill to cut the Initial into the front side.
Then I used my mill to cut it to size, and then used the surface grinder to pretty up the face. Then back to the mill to drill all the holes.
Bippity Boppity Boo... the valve chest cover is done and mounted and looks like it belongs there.
Thats enough for today. :whoohoo:
OK now I'm just showing off...
Jack
