These pictures show the process for one of my very early castings. The forge in the top picture is being used to melt the brass, and the bottom picture shows a tree of parts for the marine engine on my "Model Engines" page. From top to bottom on the parts tree are: steam chest cover, eccentric straps, steam chest, connecting rod, cylinder head, and crankshaft throw. |
