Re: Calling all machinists - 4 years ago
Ron thanks for the reply. I won't be building a boiler, those things are a mystery to me. Most of the work is just the Mounster cylinder head. I'm trying to get a set of castings from Tom K but he's been too busy to mess with me lol Let's keep in touch - Kyle Bby kyleborg - SteamStuff
Re: Calling all machinists - 4 years ago
Thanks for the info Jeremy. But I don't quite understand the meaning of it. Perhaps you mean any old shop can machine something, but making it all work really falls to 1). the designer and 2). the operator. ??? I guess I would be considered the designer and operator. So I just need to find a competent machinist.by kyleborg - SteamStuff
Re: Calling all machinists - 4 years ago
I have the Mounster blueprints (from the SACA archives) for the steam cylinder/head. There isn't much to do other than those things. And, I'd much rather have an experienced steam club person do the machining, rather than some super high tech machine shop that doesn't know the first thing about steam.by kyleborg - SteamStuff
Calling all machinists - 4 years ago
Who has a machine shop (and time and skill) to help me with a project? I've got $5,000 I can pay someone to start. The long-winded description is below, email me if you are interested. kyleborghini@gmail.com Pressure vessel (13 lbs steam storage). Comprises: 7" OD / 4" ID stainless steel pipe, capped/plugged at both ends. Length about 2 feet. Not much machining required bby kyleborg - SteamStuff
