[QUOTE="Perplexed, post: 4158269, member: 7157"] I’ve had this 1910s electric motor sitting around collecting dust, so I decided to use it in a more active display. I used some scrap walnut, maple, oak, and alder lumber, and brass and steel rod, and skateboard bearings, to create a very basic representation of an air compressor. The maple and walnut piston was turned on a metalworking lathe, and the cylinder block bored out on the same, and my gf produced the layers used in the connecting rod, cutting them out with her diode laser. It’s missing a lot of the components used in an air compressor, of course, but it was a fun project and I’ll be polishing it up in the near future. [ATTACH type="full"]428121[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
