Ya know, Ive made pistons before, cranks, sleeves, heads, and head buttons, This is my first try at making a case.
I didn't copy Wayne Trivins engine design, but I like his approach as in using a stub to machine from. That works great and really simplifies things , not as many special tools or jigs are needed if you do it like that. If you like a challenge, you gotta try this! I figure I will be lucky if I dont flub up another before I get one finished. It really makes you think about procedure and double checking your measurements.
Yeah, carpenters measure twice, cut once. Easy. WE have to measure and measure and measure, agonize some and measure again. Then we cut and oh nooooooo !!! [X(][X(][X(]
Still, fun when it's done.
A hassle but can you take pics of each stage in the process?
