The Home Machinist!

Here is the part installed, This was my first attempt at using a rotary table.

For self taught garage machinist, I am happy with the results.

Looks great, Bobby. How does the overall chassis look so far, lol?

Time for my semi annual update photo. As you can see work has progressed. I am a good track builder, a fair machinist but a really lousy blog writer.

Great to see an update. Did you have to alter much to fit those cylinders to the frame? For example particularly the height of the cylinder centerline

Looking good Bobby. Hoping to see your progress (in person) in about a month or so.

Thanks Don, looking forward to seeing you all in February.

Berkman, The frame I used is a water jet frame that I recessed slightly to seat the cylinders. I am fortunate that Bob Dean did all the engineering for me when he was building his Erie Pacific.

Bobby, the progress is so exciting to see! Glad to see you are back to work on your B&A Pacific!
