has anyone on this group done any model gas or steam engine building or
is this group more inclined for large machine repairing?
....
I'd like to make a model engine, perhaps a radial or a Stirling
generator but so far making special tools, repairs and building larger
useful rather than model machinery have taken priority. This afternoon I finished cleaning up from a project that began last October when two
large oaks blew down in my yard. I have a home made sawmill to cut dead
or fallen trees into lumber but it was built when they were smaller, the largest 12' long log weighed 2130 Lbs and I had to build a portable
overhead gantry hoist to lift, move and rotate it near where it fell,
then upgrade the sawmill, and finally cut boards and timber-framing beams.
The only model engine work I recall, and I've been here since the early
90's, was a Canadian who built a model Merlin and needed help with the hunting gear ratios.
