In this episode I finish the connecting rod which was completed by the original kit owner with some caveats.
Then I add my own caveats while machining the cross-head.
This is my first attempt at managing a video editing flow with 4K source material from two cameras on a far too puny PC. Please pardon the editing. It's a hobby, not a profession.
I've been given and old PMR #5 "Coke Bottle Steam Engine Kit. It came with many parts missing and we know it's old because they don't make them with the main castings in bronze anymore.
This series will document this rank amateur hobbyist's attempt to build this thing.
The kit is available at www.pmmodelengines.com/shop/s... (not sponsored)
My machine is a 1998 Shoptask XMTC Gold lathe mill combo with LinuxCNC.
I am a hobbyist and maker and sometimes I sell what I make.
