 |
|
Ok, only a start, I have to get the other pics. Wasn't the pic I was looking for to start the thread, I can't find that one at the moment.
Should get more pics soon.
My Brothers Bing Engine Restoration. Engine was bought without flywheel. First thing was to make a new flywheel, which he did. Brass, heavy, and it has copper spokes (I think).
When I get more pics, may open up a new can of worms on the restoration and repainting thing.
Pic is of flywheel, and untouched engine. Flywheel made with everyday tools ( I will get details), and of course as usual, no lathe

Indeed, any lathing would have been the electric drill.
Not sure exactly how he made it, but will get details when I get all the pics.

It has been fired in the pic you can see, but since being completely finished it hasn't been fired.
My old man said he was at his place getting a piece of glass or something to make a display case. Sounds like it's going to be a shelfer 
I also forgot to add, he made a burner for it.
I just gotta get the cd of pics off him. Got a lot of steamy sorta stuff to do this week actually. Oops, should say steam engine sorta stuff. Lotta pics of meccano to take too.
Just getting the time to do it is the hard bit

I managed to find the pic he sent me that I was originally going to post.
Another thing that was missing is the chimmney. So he made one.
The before pic is as it was bought off ebay. The after pic is the finished product.
A nice job I think. A little shame it won't be fired anymore

Yeah it's not bad I think. Paid around 50pound I think
Although I haven't seen it in person fully finished, it doesn't appear to be overdone.

About 2 weeks I think. Doing it at night.
Apart from making the missing parts, everything else was virtually ok I think.
Once I get full details I'll post em here, and pics on my website
