I've lived in France for 20 years, now.

16420.

Until now a generally positive life choice. As you've alluded to Bob, integration is key to being accepted as part of the local community

I have had the occasional unpleasant experience, but that would say more about the individual, than their nationality.

This guy is amazing. Many thank's for putting up that link NDIY. Just spent a couple of hours of enjoyable and informative diversion. Lucky the wife's away !!

Here's another worthy one of his.

Worthy Link

I hadn't come across him before.

Hello Ian,

It's a design from Stewart Hart. Look for "Potty Engineering".

As far as I know, he designed three different engines aimed at beginners like myself.

I was inspired by the recent thread of The Potty Overcrank. 

Let's see some photos of yours.

Thank's Dave, for your encouragement.

I know that for many, it would seem quite basic.

But, for me at least, it's a completely new adventure.

I'm just hoping that I have some progress to report, and many questions no doubt.

Hi Adam,

I've had a similar problem with my Weiss WMD30LV. The difference being that it was emating at the top of the spindle and rendering the rev counter useless. Having cleaned it a number of times, it does sem to have stopped now. Either run out of grease, or found anequilibrium. I'm not inclined to worry too much. Possibly the manufacturer was a bit enthusiastic when they applied said grease.

HTH & ATB,

Daniel

Armed with the drawings from Stewart Hart, I have made a start on the build.

In the true spirit of trying to run before I can walk, I decided to have flanges on the cylinder. I'm beginning to wonder if that was such a good idea.

I suppose, if it becomes too complicated, I can simply make another one.

Uuumm ....

At the risk of appearing daft, what is an elector system ?

How about this ?

I sincerely apologise, if a little light hearted humour offends you so.

I was, in fact, replying to Paul's post, just before yours. We must have hit the send button about the same time.

Just to add; I have just this week contacted Stewart for the same. He very kindly sent the plans by email.

Looking forward to seeing your progress Chris. I'll post mine as and when there is any.

Progress is a dodgy word in my workshop.

All the best,

Daniel

I have a natural inability to create a nice knurl.

Maths wouldn't help that.

Hi Adam,

FWIW, I just tried a tanged MT3 in my Weiss wmd30lv, and it fit fine.

It would seem seem that the spindle socket is short, but that appears implausible, unless all the models, in that series, are as such.

Just to reiterate, have you tried turning the tool whilst pushing upwards. It is a very positive fit.

ATB,

Hello All,

Just came across this thread.

Fascinating.

But, it stops abrubtly. Did it continue elsewhere ?

TIA

Daniel

Thank's Jason. I'd missed that.

A truly beautiful work of art.

United Kingdom Postage Levvy ?

Hello Brian,

See the other "France" thread.

ATB,

It seems that there are now four of us living relatively close to each other in France.

Namely the Poitiers/Limoges area.

Would it be an idea, to choose a mutually condusive place and date, to meet each other ?

Perhaps a lunch, somewhere ?

I, for one, would prefer to do this, before sharing too many details of where I live, etc. One of you might be a mass murderer, or just too plain wierd. Or, we may simply not like each other very much ...

No offence intended, and I would love to meet some like minded people; but, not when I find him at the foot of my bed, wielding an axe, at three O'clock in the morning.

What do you guys think ?

ATB,

Daniel

@ George.

Also refuelling bottles for remote control buggies, planes, etc.
