The use of the brass caps is great! If you can keep posting the dimentions of the tubes as you go that would be awesome! Subscribed!

the two tall pistons are 22mm x 100mm and the short piston is 28mm x 80mm and the copper caps are just of the shelf plumbers end caps. when the arm is finished i will nickel plate it so nobody would know it has copper and brass bits...

this i think will be the most challenging part to make.

 

[iandegia]

made a stencil and taped it on.

Too cool. This thing is gonna weigh a ton when finished!

You wouldn't want to drop this thing on your foot, that's for sure.

Can't wait to see how this turns out either way.

 

[iandegia]

yeah it will but the cuff will loose a lot of weight. i got 5mm steel so i can shape it to look more rounded

Sweet! nice to see your going to get the old girl up and running again. are you going to have variable speed's with the fly wheels?

 

[iandegia]

well im going to find an old sewing machine motor and a pulley that looks like this one. if i cant find a similar pulley i will just wire it in with a light dimmer switch.

 

[iandegia]

[Sean]
