Hi HUMARIA - welcome to HomemadeTools.net

How is the triple expansion machine going so far?

[HUMARIA]

The Triple is in a first stadium, i am stranslating now the articles of J.P.Bertinat in the modell magazine Modell Enginering in the years 1985. Those articles are a good gide to make this triple out of the castings, witch are bought from Reeves in England and by a supplier in Australia. To stranslate the articles from Englisch in to Dutch is a hell of a job, specially the technical words which Bartinat is using in his articles. But i am on the half of the total 54 pages.
Even the blog of John Viggers on johnsmachines.com is a very good gide to make this difficult engine.
Off course i made some tools by my self earlier, such as a small metall saw a pipe bend a small drilling machine with a sewing machine motor etc.
Some day, when i have more time, i will write something about these tools, so please forgive me, to translate all in to Englisch is for me not as easy as for the most of the other members.
