WALTON'S ENGINE.."See-through" version..
Prompted by the recent post on this little device, I made a replacement for my ageing one, crudely made a good while ago for gut twisting.
This one has three planet gears and is made from perspex and brass, with screws made from stainless steel.
Next year, I will make one with five planet gears, which will make nice furled leaders, but here are some pictures of the "see-through" version!
..hope you like it!

That's actually so beautiful I could simply look at it as a sculpture !!! Superb work, Sir.

Yeah I'll just nip to the shed and knock up Waltons engine. No words.

Oh and whilst I'm at it I'll make it from Perspex so the exquisite gearing is visableMarc wrote:Yeah I'll just nip to the shed and knock up Waltons engine. No words.
Superb as always WM+
I walked across an empty land
I knew the pathway like the back of my hand
I felt the earth beneath my feet
Sat by the river and it made me complete.
