Hello PD's!

Well i have got some things done this weekend, i made a water gauge, (don't have the glass but it is on it's way) and i made an adjustable  safety valve, tomorrow i will get some stainless balls and some springs.

got my hands on some cheap brass hexagon and i must say it is really fun to work with.

I am sure you must be very satisfied with the work. What is the test certificate position in Sweden. R.G.Y.

[granath]

yes it is, i don't have an education in this or that much experience. I'm pretty much self learned and I'm still learning so it is fun then you get good results. when you take the polish out after you are done with the lathe it is hard to wipe the smile of, he he.

about the test certificate if you mean regulation and testings etc. as long it's for personal and non commercial use there isn't really any regulations, at least not what i can read, i have emailed and so but there seams that there is none for personal use, but Sandy has made all the calculations so the numbers and sizes are the same as the paper.

Hello all! was some time again since my last update but that doesent mean i haven't done anything,
i have been quit busy actually witch have been fun.
I have made some new eccentrics and straps for them, also the crank rods have been completed. and a forward - stop - reverse valve for the engine have been done(thank you Bogstandard for the inspiration), and a new filler cap and a on/off steam valve for the boiler.

next mission is to do some pipework to connect the valve to the engine, and i have started to do some searching were i can get my hands on some heat insulation, that problem is probably solved now, but i also need to get my hands on some ceramic material for the gas burner, does someone have some over for sale maybe?

oh i almost forgot, i have started on a hydraulic pump that is not to far from completion but i haven't taken any pictures of it yet.

and here is some pictures
