If you're a model engineer or a machinist then The Home Shop Machinist magazine is familiar to you. If not, then maybe you know about Live Steam magazine. Maybe Projects in Metal magazine is another thing you've heard of.
Ruby wrote articles for all these magazines.
All these projects shown below are from the new book "The Shop Wisdom of Rudy Kouhoupt: Volume Two " and you'll get 32 articles in this book, they are all written by the man that's done it all. And Yes, you do get the whole book!
Let me show you some of the projects from the book.
Building Your Own Engraving Pantograph
When you have completed a careful job of building a new engine, machine tool or some other shop artifact, do you have the desire to put a permanent mark on it? Something to identify you as the builder and to show when the job was done?
Many of my engines have a small brass builder's plate attached to them or to the base on which they stand to serve this purpose. The markings on the plate are kept simple, consisting of my name and the year of completion of the engine. You will see a sample of one of the little plates where you can compare its size with a U.S. dime. The 1/16" tall letters on this .50 x .84" brass plate were engraved on it using the engraving pantograph built in my home shop and the assembly drawing.
To begin with, the engraving pantograph is an uncomplicated machine to build and use. For the master letters, it uses any draftsman's lettering template, thus providing a wide choice of letter shapes and sizes. Templates contain three sizes of letter on one template. They are available in any store selling art and drafting supplies. The pantograph is designed that it reproduces the master letters at exactly one-half their size on the template. The engraving cuts are actually taken by a Dremel hand tool mounted in the pantograph and fitted with a Dremel engraving cutter. Other brands of motorized hand tool may be useful for this purpose, also. However, they may or may not be suited to mounting in the engraving pantograph described in this article. The Dremel tool shown in the photographs is the Model No. 370. It has had a long, useful career in my shop where it has been applied to many other jobs besides engraving.
Here are more introductions for other helpful and fun projects.
It is unfortunate that engines with oscillating cylinders have taken so much bad press. Most of the criticisms that have been leveled against oscillating cylinder engines have been engendered by poorly designed examples of flimsy construction intended for the toy trade. The fact is, however, that in full size steam engine practice, oscillating engines have been employed in a wide variety of applications where they have given excellent service. Such engines were, of course, properly designed and solidly built from suitable materials.
As a type, oscillating cylinder steam engines have some highly desirable traits. In the first place, they have a minimal number of moving parts and are quite simple in their action. When carefully built from a dependable design, oscillating engines are reliable in performance. When good materials are used in their construction, they can be counted upon to deliver service over a long period of time.
It all began a lot of years ago with my purchase of a second-hand electric fan for 50¢ at a rummage sale. The old Dayton Electric fan was a faithful servant, but the time finally came when the motor was simply shot. It was then relegated to my ever growing pile of things that aren't to the North American Model Engineering Exposition in 1993 to show and run with some of my other engines in the Village Press booth. You can see the fan in the left photo. It seemed attractive to a number of readers who expressed an interest in it as a building project. For this reason, Joe Rice and I decided to present it here.
It is obvious to me, however, that not everyone will have access to a used fan blade and protective cage exactly like mine. Indeed, some prospective builders may prefer to build an engine with a flywheel. Therefore, I built the second engine which you can see in front of the fan in the left photo and from the opposite side in the right photo. The engines are identical in all mechanical respects. The furnace for the fan version had to be a little taller, since it acts as a part of the supporting structure for the engine.
This construction series will present the complete details for building the flywheel version of the engine with a suitable propane burner and heating furnace. General guidance will also be given so anyone wanting to build the fan version will be able to make the adaptations necessary to suit a fan blade and protective cage that he or she may have on hand or make.
