Neat! That's a pretty ingenious way to make the slope on the cotter pins. I like that!

That looks good :) ... I hope the red stuff on it is not blood :paranoia:
I also call that type of bearings Brasses.

P.S If you need to cut a thinner slot than you feel safe doing with a slot drill type milling cutter I found using a thin wood rough cutter from either side and joining with a needle file worked ;)

With my present skills I am happy to try to cut narrower slots with a slot drill, until I start breaking cutters. I treat such items as disposables.
I will explain the "blood" in the next posting.

It’s a fascinating build - I really enjoyed reading it. Some trials along the way but the engine looks marvellous.

Looking good and I see the drawings are in fractional Inches. I think they were used before digital became popular and was approached by using sharp pointed dividers with a deeply etched steel rule.! I do have a modern digital veneer that has fractions as well as metric and imperial scales ??!
