olsbooks Posted December 1, 2018 Share Posted December 1, 2018 This simply a fantastic project. The ideas and inspiration you are providing are fantastic. Thank you. Unrelated, but as I push forward on the Great Gatsby project, how would you suggest posting pix as I am already bumping against space limits. Peace Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anglia105E Posted December 1, 2018 Share Posted December 1, 2018 As well as Photobucket you can also use Flickr of course. ( JC ) Great work on the heavy dyno Pat, and one more detailed machine tool for the workshop. David Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anglia105E Posted December 1, 2018 Share Posted December 1, 2018 That would be my preferred method also Jim..... using ' choose files ' , just to the right of the paper clip thing. David Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

landman Posted December 3, 2018 Author Share Posted December 3, 2018 The Dyno body is the cap of a laundry detergent jug. Its spout will make a nice diffuser vent for something. Â Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
olsbooks Posted December 5, 2018 Share Posted December 5, 2018 Brains over bucks!

Anglia105E Posted December 7, 2018 Share Posted December 7, 2018 The heavy wiring cable running through the chrome ring brackets transforms this object into something real and tangible ( sorry don't know the correct name for the brackets Pat ). Excellent photography of yours, to show us these images...... the project continues!

landman Posted December 8, 2018 Author Share Posted December 8, 2018 Construction of the cooling tower is coming along. as you can see the water supply comes from under the floor as we don't want hoses and cables to become tripping hazards.

landman Posted December 8, 2018 Author Share Posted December 8, 2018 (edited) These , a piece of 1" brass tubing, two slices of dowel and two 84 years old carriage bolts will become the exhaust muffler. Looking for the ideal location. Did some floor dirtyin' in the high traffic locations. Hard to do on that shiny duct tape. More visible away than up close. Go figure.

Anglia105E Posted December 8, 2018 Share Posted December 8, 2018 That side of the machine shop is looking really good now Pat, and the dyno fits in there nicely. All tripping hazards avoided! David Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
