Thread: Flanging tender side panels
17/12/2009 22:30:54
Hello Nigel
My tender is of brass and I did have to anneal it several times.
I found that making the former square on the hornplate end and the top,these form a datum for setting out on a surface plate or glass.I made the former higher than the top of the tender and added  the amount onto all measurements.You can clamp sides and back onto the former for all the drilling operations.I have found this method to be satisfactory for me .
I hope this helps.

Hello all.
Reference the flanging. I am building a 2" Gold Medal Burell and have just finished the flanging of the tender.I made a complete internal former of the tender from hardwood,from 1"* internal dimentions and glued together in a stack.The former was shaped and I had no difficulty in flanging,the sides first and then clamping them both in place I wrapped the back over them this worked a treat.Clamping the back in place I drilled for the rivets ,the whole can be held with bolts through the rivet holes after removing timber for the nuts.
All of the drilling was carried out with the tender on the former.

Francis Boyle.
Hello . I have been building my gold medal tractor for 25 years between running a business/ alterations to the house and other things that keep you from the workshop.
The drawings are very accurate and the castings also are good.It is a small engine in full size therefore it is like clockwork on the small items,but I am still enjoying every stage I complete .I made my own boiler and had no engineering experience previously,it is not to difficult.I sometimes wish I had gone for a 3" Burrell  as being a builder my fingers are a little large to get into the fiddley bits,but it is a beautiful engine when completed [when]
All the best Francis

Hello all 
I would appreciate some help.
I am building a 2"Burrell Gold Medal single cylinder tractor.The dimentions of the bore are 1.060" the gap in the piston is .125 radial and .125 axial.My need is the gap that I will need to leave for expansion in the piston ring when fitted. I have read the articles by Tubal Cain but I am not sure that I have fully understood the text.Could someone who dose give me a simple answer to my problem.  
Thank you in anticipation. Francis Boyle


Thread: lathe tool cutting oils
19/07/2009 17:43:45
I use cutting oil from J B supplies and dilute with water as recommended,this oil lasts and as my wife is in a studio above my workshop I was forced to get rid of the old suds.The new oil dose not have such a pungent smell.I apply the oil with a plastic oil can with a flexible spout from Halfords.The spout allows one to get close to the tool with no fear of damage to the can or oneself.Great for squerting up a bored hole.
