Do you also have such uncomfortable weather? Rain, wet and cold!
Luckily it's warm in the workshop and I was working on the little Stuart 10.
I made a mistake on the connecting rod. Both eyes pierced with 2 mm. But there has to be a thread on one side. I glued in a piece of brass and drilled the M 1 thread. The lid got its “S”. That could stand for Stuart but maybe also for my last name Simon 😁.
Then there was still some time for the bronze slide valve. The main parts now go to painting.

Greetings Michael

Yes! It’s getting very cold - but a heated shop provides such contentment. We are lucky people.

Top work on the engine - looks great!

Great job on the engine. I have , I think, drawings made up for other small (tiny) engines based on Stuarts.

Thanks,
I noticed with this small motor that I can no longer just place a small part on the work table so carelessly. I had to look for the slide valve yesterday. I probably swept it off the table with my sleeve without noticing.
The next engine will be a little bigger again.

Greetings Michael

Sometimes I put a part in the drawer with a tool I'm putting away...   :facepalm2:

That is a lovely engine. Like a others before me, the full size version was the 1st thing I attempted and that was a challenge.

Congratulations on the the half size Stuart 10v, interested to see what your next project will be.......
Best regards

Sanjay

Just caught up with your assembly of the little engine, this has been an excellent and ingenious project with a very delightful end result.  Dave

Thanks guys,

the main parts are finished. The controls are still missing.
I painted the first parts with green paint and they need to dry now.

The paint has dried and the slide bar with joint has been made.
Now all that's missing is the eccentric with eccentric rod.
