TGIF!

Another week done, time for play!

Well, its been a few days and finally pictures of the work done are staring to filter through, ill start off with the frames as that shows some progress you might all be interested in, 

Its nice to see things going back together , the first pictures are of the brand new cross heads in their place in the new edited guide bars, 

Starting to look like an engine again!! .. well kind of! 

Next we have some pictures of the frames in general, first a picture of the back axle back in its rightful place, with the all new shiny eccentric straps and rods in place

So as you can see there is some definite progress! the valves should be on the machine now, so hopefully by the time i get to Mr F's place Sunday we should be ready for playing with the timing of the beast!

The "to-do" list is still a fair old size, there is loads of tinkering to be done and more things to be made but its nice to stand back and see progress! Most of this has all been achieved by Mr F, he has put a few long days into it so far, the cross heads were machined up by me, but the final assembly was done by him, likewise the eccentric straps were machined by me but assembled by him, 

I on the other hand have been busy with other bits, painting is going well, of sorts and causing me many migraines! so ill chuck a few pictures up of the progress, I've done the bulk of the work now once its dry ill get on with the fiddly bits and tying up, well that's more than enough for now! has been a looong old week and i feel a nap coming on!
