Rose Engine up & running
In between laying patio slabs and other household chores I managed a few hours in the workshop and finished the rose engine, at least enough for a trial run.
Temporarily set upon the milling machine bed which accounts for the odd angle of the cutter frame.
There are a few problems to sort out, the drive could be a bit lower geared, looking at a worm & wheel for that, the cutter frame motor needs replacing, after 30 minutes I could make toast on it...
If you havn't seen them, there are some construction pics here.

OK, OK, the cutter frame is not on centre heightLast edited by Old-Biker-UK; 5th September 2009 at 07:29 AM. Reason: CRAFT moment

That turned out to be a very nice rose engine/OT lathe. You're going to have a ball playing with it, and no doubt will add more accessories along the way.
I appreciate you sharing your ideas.
Thanks
Pete

Mark,
Damn fine effort! do you do your own castings? Theres a very professional look to the whole construction and general finish.Inspiration exists, but it has to find you working. — Pablo Picasso

Hughie and Ray...this is the first time I have even looked at anything remotely associated with ornamental turning. The machine looks like a Rube Goldberg contraption to me.
How about an OT 101 course on how it works for a dummy like me?Cheers,
Ed
