Thread: Plans for a Rose Engine?

Plans for a Rose Engine?
OK, so I've decided to build myself a little Rose Engine. I know that somewhere amongst my years of mags there's a 3 or 4 part article on building one to suit a router, using a hinged headstock oscillated by a small oval cam that requires a minimum of metalwork. I'm a woody, after all!
The problem is... which mag? I've scanned through all my copies of the UK mags "Woodturning" & "The Woodturner" and what a job it's been, too! Not there, so that leaves me with the towering piles of the UK "The Woodworker" or our own "The Woodworker" & "Aus. Wood Review." (I don't buy US mags... for no real reason other than I prefer a bit more substance to "bling." )
I really don't have that much spare time... so I'm hoping someone else out there recognises the articles I'm talking about and can help hasten my search?

After Looking at the website I realised I just found something else to put on the GUNNADO LIST

And I've even got a 2 way vice in the shed,
somewhere, but in which shed I dunno -
probably with the new dehumidifier that I can't find,
I just hope I didn't put it in a safe place coz that's the sorta stuff that's gone forever.

BINGO! That is THE engine that was featured in the mag. I recognise both the peg-board, headstock and some of the photos. I also vaguely remember seeing a prototype of that same engine, which used rubber bands to hold it all together. I really gotta find that mag article, which is a step by step "how to build"...
Me? Following PLANS? :eek:
It's a nice little device, isn't it? It has been in my TBQ (To Build Queue) since I first saw it, I've just been waiting on my turning ability to match my desires.
Thanks for the link, you've made my day. Greenie launched.
Edit: reading the link, I see it actually tells me which mag & issues 'twas printed up in. Another case solved satisfactorily!

I've seen a few different plans for them, but that is by far the simplest to bulid. Later I may branch into something more versatile & complex, although I don't expect to. Just making a decent indexing plate is enough of a challenge for me...
BTW, when you find your "safe" place can you make sure there's not a bag of hardened steel trammel points in there too? I put 'em in a "safe place" about a month or so ago and, well...

He mentions issue 65 and 66 of Woodturning magazine but I remember seeing it in the Australian Woodworker magazine, starts in issue 107 .

Thanks Dan, that's probably the one I have. After all, I've already been thru my turning mags without success, so I'm guessing I don't have #65 & 66.

Thanks, mate, they're the ones. On hunting through my mags I've found one of them but the other two seem to have gone AWOL. I'm not a particularly happy chappy 'bout that.
Still, I've enough info from the website to have made a start; I'm far enough into it that it's become a "shelf-job." I spend a few mins on it here and there, as time allows, but otherwise it'll be living on a shelf for another... oh... 5-10 years at this rate.

has a bit bit about rose engines and their use in watchmaking. The machine that that bloke who makes small containers and kaledescopes and who's bookmark i didn't note, seems to have a similar machine, designwise though he built it himself, he tells us, repeatedly.
I wonder if you could build one combining the ideas of stitch pattern cams from sewing machines and that drawing tool Spira...graphix? can't remember the rest of the name.
Oh, then there is:

Skew, for 'only' £6,000 GBP [or $14,983.80 AUD] you could have one ready to go, plus freight, of course.
