That'll be an interesting journey. On the left side of the engine there is a cylinder looking thing hanging down. Is that just a weight?
They look good Graham and should save me some time if I'd had to carve from solid.
But using castings does take some of the enjoyment and satisfaction away from the process*,
Cost only really comes into it on larger parts.
We're just waiting for it to stop raining long enough to get the " pot " on and do some casting of the Robinson " HA " base pattern.
How can that be a bad buy for a beginner?
Wot, no more progress today
With some help from another pattern maker we’ve finally reached the end of this particular thread. I hope I have been able to perhaps inspire one or two to try this avenue for a new project? Just some minor adjustments and painting before they are sent to the foundry.With today’s modern equipment in the form of CNC and 3D printing, pattern making couldn’t be easier !Obviously I’m able to share the fruits with other, like minded engine builders and I shall start a new thread here as the castings become available. Many thanks to those that contributed, and please don’t hesitate to ask any questions if something is unclear.
