My pleasure Michelle. I’ve watched all your art videos as well. Hope you have more to come. My wife is a very keen photographer and also paints. My background was in photographic equipment, but took up amateur engineering after I retired. Keep happy both of you ATB Nobby
If you are going to paint the spokes then consider this. Where the halves have been misaligned on the spokes you essentially have low spots and high spots leaving an offset. Build up the low spots to meet the high spots using JB weld. Once set, file down the spokes to keep a shape that you desire. Try to take down some of the metal where the high spot is but leave some JB weld on the low spots. This should leave all the curves in place where needed. You can sandblast to add texture back to the filed parts as an optional step. Once painted it will all blend in.
Hi T&B I may very well do that. I had already considered using filler of some kind. I’m going to wait until the engine is completed, and make a decision then. Thanks for looking and your feedback. Cheers Nobby
I still have a few videos lined up Kev, but can’t finish the engine until I find a cure for the milling machine problem. Hope there’s a fix. Cheers Nobby
I think I’m going to leave the flywheel spokes as they are. If I start to file them they are going to look worse. I will paint the spokes and inner rim, which I normally do on flywheels. I had a comment from someone else Mark, on how bad the PM castings are. Thanks for following the build Mark. Cheers Nobby
Hi Nobby, I can understand your disappointment with that Fly- Wheel, from what I could see it looked a long way off , Think you,ve done a cracking job to get it to ehrer it is now, looks really good mate. Stay well Kind Regards, Mike
Nice fussy work, I could see myself just start cutting and then crying about it , just say I don't have as much patience as you. Enjoyed the vid, cheers!
@@nobbysworkshop I do recall some management training I received long ago where they stated that there should be three hours of planning and setup for every hour of trouble-free work. (don;t quote, but it was a higher amount of time planning than executing) , you are just doing it right as there is no safe turning back point.
I always try to make things look as good as possible Rusty. On this engine I have a very special reason, which I’ll tell you about later. Take care my friend. Nobby
I just finished a PM Research camelback drill press kit, my 3rd PMR kit, and had the same offset issue with some of the castings in it. While I love their kits, I think their QC has fallen off a bit. When building the same drill press kit, Joe Pie had castings that were so far off that he junked them and machined them from stock instead!
With good castings, it’s all down to the quality of the patterns, and the person setting the mold. It could be that sets of patterns have been mixed up over time. Or two halves of a pattern were not registered together correctly.
Thanks, Nobby For the kind shout-out It is much appreciated
You’re more than welcome Andy. Take care. Nobby
Thank you so much for the kind mention Nobby (you have a wonderful channel) and loved Mrs Nobby’s card too! 🌻

I reckon you've done a right good job on that flywheel Nobby, I think you're right being happy with it now mate - Cheers Jim
Cheers Jim I appreciate that. All the best. Nobby
Nice video Nobby, I don’t think I would machine the spokes, just fettle the edges. ATB Mark

I’m much happier now Mike. I think the flywheel looks ok as it is. Cheers Nobby
Hi Nobby
Another very interesting video, fly wheel looks good
Lots of problems Robert, but I think it turned out ok in the end. Cheers Nobby
Nice fussy work, I could see myself just start cutting and then crying about it , just say I don't have as much patience as you. Enjoyed the vid, cheers!
I do seem to spend a lot of time thinking things through first. With this kit I only have one chance to get it right. Cheers Nobby

You’re absolutely right. Something I learned from my dad. Any job you do, it’s all in the preparation. He knew a thing or two.
Thankyou for detailed description of setups
Thanks. I hope I don’t over explain what I’m doing. ATB Nobby
Very nice work mr Nobby. I know you have concerns, but I think you have done the best you could.

Nice work, Nobby!!
Thanks Tony. Appreciate that. ATB Nobby
