MY CORLISS
ENGINE BUILD
Part 12 by Vince Cutajar
Started work on the two cylinder feet. Used a 20 X 20mm bar, cut two pieces and trimmed the sides to length (2").
A little chain drilling and sawing later produced these.
And after some milling.
Then trimmed the width of the feet from 20mm to 19.05mm.
I still needed to reduce the height of the feet but I will know exactly by how much when I do the base of the feet.
Both feet bolted to the mill table and the tops skimmed to the desired height.
And here they are finished; each foot is made from two parts to make bolting to the cylinder easier.
And here they are with a coat of primer.
And, finally, a family shot with the cylinder.
