Detent ring for speed regulator on an old Bollinder stationary engine. Made a full fuel pump and pump assembly a few months back for the same guy. Going into a lunchbox of vinger vapor now it will look 100 yeas old in the morning.

Found a photo of a test fit of the pump before it got aged. There were probably 15 or 16 components

I was board. early start.
Was on site at 5am. Not happy.

Then a few hours at home, before wasting more time interviewing possible new engineers.

So.

But no normal cake cake.
@mrsbruce Look away now.

Hollowed out centre, filled with more Smarties.

Did you put the Smarties in after the cake was cooked... I'd have thought they'd all melt into the cake in the oven? Looks yummy!

That's like saying:
As I also laid down 5 gallons of ale. I will get drunk.

As it was I did not get to eat the cake, as I will not drink the ale.

Trick is to make the cake in layers, bake.
Then cut a bake bean tin size hole in the middle layers, assemble. Then decorate.
Give to small humans, back away as it is converted into crumbs in nano seconds.

All installed, neighbour is delighted and the birds have 'adopted' it already. Result....happiness, but I'll never make another one.

Won't the valves and cams be offensive to the scooter guys ? :laughing:

Plasma cut some 14mm 316 stainless then finish milled the slots on the Chiron. It will be an alternator tensioner on a boat as there is no way to adjust the normal way due to the pipework not allowing much movement on the alternator itself.
I will be making up a stainless wheel to fit on the bolt.
