    The following will be pics of the construction of the pattern for casting the Mid Case. As previously mentioned, over sized paper patterns were glued to the wood for cutting. The 3rd dimension being height, was done by selecting the proper split point for drafting purposes, laminating wood and plane to the correct thickness, including shrinkage. Lots of small parts for making boxes from bondo to make many parts and the use of bondo for repeating cavities from a single model. The pics are sequenced as the construction proceeded.

    Exceptional work! Thanks for posting the design and building of the engine. All of us can learn a lot about what it takes to design and build an engine. This has to be a labor of love.

    More pics of the mid case pattern development. It is amazing how fast the pattern is built thru pics. Took a lot longer in real time.

    The previous post completed the to side cheeks of the mold. The following sequence completes the crankshaft side (top) of the mold. This set will give you a good series using Bondo and the importance of removing the excess as soon as it starts its hardening process. You will notice the small half rounds at each side of the impession. These released the Bondo from under the clamping bar to assure that the bar would touch the surface. Hard to believe but the stuff does not like to be displaced.Name:  IMG-20120206-00304.jpg
