![]() 719 forum posts 164 photos | Very nice. Another little tip for getting a clear finish on perspex or any other type of acrylic is the same as you did with the sandpaper is when finished use something like T cut for cars and rub that on while the lathe is turning. I make pens using acrylic but I use Burnishing cream which is basically the same as T Cut. Even for the drilled hole this can work but use a wooden dowel with it |

457 forum posts 60 photos | Really nice engine and a nice unique idea. I don't think I would ever try this myself but I believe you can polish acrylic with a naked flame!!! Flame polishing! |

486 forum posts 186 photos | I can't stop looking at this engine. Small details catch the eye. The twisted con rod, the soft edges on the valve coupling, the fluted column. Sumptuous. Like many others I eagerly anticipate more details Geoff |

![]() 454 forum posts 63 photos | Beautitiful and different engine. Being a model it would surely have to be published in Model Engineer. I wonder why Jim C suggested MEW, perhaps because he subscribes to it? |

[…] Being a model it would surely have to be published in Model Engineer. I wonder why Jim C suggested MEW, perhaps because he subscribes to it? . Maybe he wants to use one that size as a work-light on his lathe or mill ... then ‘surely’ it would need to be in MEW MichaelG. Edited By Michael Gilligan on 06/07/2020 22:58:35 |
