The Home Machinist!

I messed up a couple of attempts, but I managed to get this one to work (I think) it's part of the safety valve. I still need to make the springs before I can test it properly.
Making progress ! It's fun, once the boiler is done, things move along at a good pace and progress becomes much more visible.

Cheers

Nice job, but where is the finished valve? It's been over 3 hours since you posted the first picture!!

One - apparently complete - valve.



The plug is inside, but the spring is not. I'm still waiting for the SS wire to make the spring.

Cheers to all, and thanks for looking.

Really nice

I need to get you a job with our customers who machine titanium dental implants with .4 mm diameter end mills.

Think about it.
