Keats Angle Plate

The Keats looks better "in person" than in pictures. Nicely machined. This will be VERY helpful. Big thanks to John!
As for the engine, just finished the flywheel a few minutes ago. That was the last piece ,so, assembly, disassembly, sanding , filing, polishing, re- assembly, etc.
Build log will follow. I have pix of machining every part. I like post my build logs when I have a runner.

Thanks Stan, looking forward also. I want to warn you before you secure the ring gear. Before lining up the rotating gear with the ring gear teeth. Match the teeth in the full up position of the stroke of the piston and square off on the piston rod for a square upper stroke. Then center punch the two matching gears. I had fail to do that on mine and I had drilled the holes, so I ended up getting a new gear and doing it all over. Be sure to use the jig for set up. If you fail to do this the stroke will go up sideways and will bind, just from a minimum of offset.

The gear is drilled and attached. I made the jig to do it last week. Placed the piston/steam box and spinning the flywheel, everything is very smooth. No binding (that's a first).
At $80 for the gear, I was VERY careful before drilling.
