Do you think that when the trolls arrive to eat the elves they might build a double-sized engine with an 8 inch flywheel and a nine inch beam?

any way the elves have been back under cover of darkness and produced some more bits

so i thought i would interfere and do a temporary partial assembly

and to give you some idea of the size

That is small, the elves surely have been busy.

well the elves heard about the postal problems in the UK and decided to make the nuts needed for the engines over the last couple of nights and they have now completed all that is needed and what do you think arrived in the mail today ??
Just the nuts that were ordered . they were posted on 23rd and arrived here on the 31st
I am beginning to think the little leprechaun "Murphy" had something to do with it!!

well the elves have been busy and made some parallel links
and whats is more surprising is that it moves up and down smoothly
any way i have sneak a couple of photos.

hope fully now that I am inside they will under cover of darkness make another four links
I did learn a little trick today
when making little nuts and screws or grub screws it pays to sneak inside and grab a white sheet to lay on the bench and floor it makes finding 3mm bits easy
