After years of making steam & I.C engines I realy want to make a clock, could anyone give me a pointer towards a good beginers guide to clock making. many books on amazon but not sure which would be a good one for beginers like me. Cheers, Steve.

Hi Neil

no have no proper plans, i tend to work on a mixture of primative cad & fag packets. Not clever enough for writing things up. there is a brilliant example of this engine on youtube, worth a look.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VWn8gQ9Ykpk&feature=player_detailpage

MONITOR PHOTOS

Hi folks

I mentioned a couple of mounths ago that I was thinking of making a model of USS Monitors engine. I'm sure most of you know USS Monitor was the first Anerican Iron clad. some people ask me to make an update so hear we are, I have posted some photos of progress the model is not a replica of the original but is has been made as a working model to go in a model ship (builder not yet informed). It is still in its raw form but has run on air very well even at slow speeds suprisingly, but runs very unbalanced which I have to sort out the gear driven circ pump kicks out loads of water to the condensor even at low speeds which was a problem I had with my last Marine engine. All thats left to make now is the codensate pump that is going to be driven from the raciprocating arm at the back of the engine
