No problem here Cletus  Maybe we can get Todd to change the part name on the prints 

Stan I still believe it could be done from barstock easily enough. In fact Chuck Rhodes' 2nd P&W at the show this weekend was done from barstock...stainless in fact.

True story...I have been reading through students two page proposals for a major paper due in about a month. Had one student use the term thermos dynamics not once but twice for thermodynamics. Beats my prior favorite from two years ago which referred to metal urology. These are our future bridge and car and aircraft designers!!

Best watch everybody Zee!!

It's your thread,  hope you don't mind Professor.  I called one of my girls Gertrude the other day and she seriously asked me what a Gertrude was.  She said her granny had a dog they called Gertrude,  but,  she thought it might just be the breed.  Now,  I was looking at my granddaughters car the other day and she had one of those parking thingies on her mirror and it said "Staffulty " y'all please tell this old redneck in what year that word was invented  There has to be an island somewhere us old farts can go to so as not to be a burden to this new generation

Bill that is hilarious and sad at the same time; I work with a metallurgist; she might get a chuckle out of this one. I'm also going to show it to my daughter who is a 2nd year mechanical engineering student.

These are high school students? Hopefully they will figure it out.

[b.lindsey]

Dave, no there are freshmen engineering students and what's worse is that the English department tells us that our students are among the best writers on campus!  How scary is that ??

Bill,
Why are your parts all so shiny and perfectly machined? Looks like jewelry.
Keep it coming.
Mosey

[b.lindsey]

Thanks Mosey, I have had a few errors along the way also though, and the cast parts aren't all that shiny, but several members here have been most helpful in sharing their finishing techniques and procedures as far as machined parts,  though I still have a ways to go.  Thanks for looking in.

Not a lot to add tonight but some hex head screws came in today. The shortest I could order were 3/8" and I needed 1/4" so I had to cut them off. Someone was talking about this the other day and since I only needed four screws, I took a scrap piece of 1/4" brass and drilled and tapped a hole, screwed the hex screws in and milled off the excess on the other side.  These were used to affix the "deer whistles" to the main frame. The other thing I did last night was to make some brass nuts to clamp the cylinder assembly all together on the support rods. Just a few pictures of this small progress follow.

Cool Bill and she's shaping up buddy.........

Now since they are sitting in situ, they don't look naer as much like a deer whistle. Still and following along
