Re: Another CliShay Build
Modeltec 1994, pg 14 thru 17. Is a set by Ed Warren designed for the CliShay. If you can't find an issue, PM me and I can try to help.

Re: Alloy of brass and zink in a home foundry
1603597526102_IMG_0792.jpg For those who haven't had the pleasure.... here is a genuine zink fire. It started when he removed the glass and dross. Should've waited until the crucible was out of the furnace and in the pouring shank. You can see the "spoonful" of glass and dross above the furnace, in...

Re: MARK'S Bolts Nuts and Surplus Glendale, Arizona.
I went there about a month ago, the fellow said that they were going to start closing on the weekends... call before you go. That day they were closing ar 2:00 pm. They are not in trouble, just slow afternoon because of the virus.

Re: USATC S-160 Consolidation
Dick: You mentioned someplace a couple of post up from here about 10% aluminum and 90% copper for alumi-bronze. I'm going to do a bronze pour Friday I hope, and I thought..... 'While the pot is hot'! When we pour bronze we are having to put a glass barrier on top to keep the zink from catching on fi...

Re: Key stock for axles and drivers?
Glenn: On my speeder I use a key and spacer that sounds like what you are looking at. And I can change spacers to change guage. But, my axle is threaded on the end with a locknut. The axle is still a tight fit and I have to use a puller to get the wheels off. Now, that being said, the nut looks ok o...

Re: Which steam pump would you build?
The only builders notes I could find are in the zip file for the 1/16 pump. There are two word files in that folder, one labeled 1/16 notes and the other just labeled duplex pump notes... looks like that may be for both sizes... I haven't perused it just yet tho. No word doc in the 1/8 zip file. Thx...

Then I selected "pump files", where it gives me ...

Re: Which steam pump would you build?
Bill: I have the castings and I have downloaded your plans dated 2008, for the Large BvB pump (actually downloaded several years ago) and haven't had the nerve to start working on it up until now (maybe). I am not a machinist but I do a little on a lathe and mill as needed and learn one function at ...
