Enjoyable from start to finish. Keep going 👏👏👍😀

Great work, it is always good to watch how you go about making these parts. Vertical height always seems to be an issue with the Centec even with a riser installed and I can't imagine how you could use the mill without a riser

[@williamsworkshopuk]

Well it was designed as a horizontal mill initially - so mostly surfacing and cutting inside corners/etc. - and as a result no need at all for much vertical height!

Eyup William a change is as good as a rest the crank will come good.
that little traction engine looks great, i've been thinking of making a 1" scale Minnie from an old book i have, may be one day soon i may make a start.

The reason I started this was to get practice with copper smithing a boiler. But really, the rest of it's pretty easy, and it seems crazy not to use the end result!

@@williamsworkshopuk Its the only way to learn by being hands on.👍👍👍👍

Another great video William.
Well done, the valve looks good 👍

Don't we all screw up dimentions sometimes? :)

But I guess as they say, it’s how you get out of a problem
