    I have not seen the drawings online anywhere. Alan supplied them when I contacted him. The patents from his website give a good indication how they work but no dimensions.

    Very impressive.

    Huge amount of work involved in making one.
    Gold, the colour of choice for the discerning person.

    I used the information available on the Magnabend inventors website here (link) and have been corresponding with him over the past few years to help the project along. He was very helpful and without his help I doubt I could have gotten to this stage.

    Very nicely done, as said by others I like the graphics! I've considered making one of those a number of times, and looked at all the information, but never taken the plunge (partly due to the cost of materials!).

    Like others, I'd be interested in the hinge drawings if you're able to share.

    (I'm not sure why the pictures uploaded sideways)

    I'm really not sure about the copyright issue, and I'd hate to find out the hard way.

    My lecturer found the plans online, possibly from this site John-Tom Engine and Model Plans (I recall him mentioning it once) the original plans were imperial but he converted them to metric.

    Let me know if you want a copy too and I'll send you one.

    Cheers

    My latest project is making 50 Oxygen cylinder holders for people with respitory problems, so they can carry their cylinder with them while going out. These are fitted to the walking frames.
    Made from 20 X 3 flat for the main frame and 13 X 3 flat for the cylinder rings. Will be powdercoated Satin Black when finished.

    Default Tailstock "DRO"

    OK, so it's actually an ARO, but you get the picture. I've been meaning to make one for ages. The Mitty indicator only has 30mm of travel, so I'll replace it with a 50mm indicator or a set of digital scales. I'll also drill and tap the tailstock so I can screw a mounting bracket onto it. The Mighty Mag sticks pretty well, but I have another use for it.

    I turned a morse taper today, a #4 morse taper using the offset tailstock method, it turned out pretty good, plenty of contact.

    Next job is to chuck it on the cylindrical grinder and grind the last 0.1

    After a frustrating day welding (brazing) little bits together yesterday I went to the shed this morning to make a simple third arm.
    Well ended up with two and a few attachments just in case.

    I have got so lazy by using the mig for everything, steel or ally. It must be near 20 years since I last brazed something. Though not as long since I last used the tig it has been a long while.
    I actually used a stick welder the other day. Well I tried too, the flux fell off the rods quicker than I could weld.

    Anyway back to brazing. I really need the practice.
