hi all this is my first post here
i recently aquired a stuart 10v kit and need the book on how to build this or drawings
any and all help would be appreciated
this kit is about 60% machined
there are many questions to be asked but i cant logically ask these till i have plans or books
i ordered a plans set from stuart dont have an idea when it will arrive as i live in the us and the plans are coming from the uk
i see a book was published regarding this model called " building a vertical steam engine from castings " by andrew smith, revised by pengwern
does anyone have a copy of this book or where one could source this thanks

Hi Earnie
Welcome to the Forum :thumbup:
UK source herewith:
http://www.camdenmin.co.uk/construction-manuals/building-a-vertical-steam-engine-p-2094.html

Hi Earnie, welcome to the pack :beer: I'm glad you got some drawings, and hope to see some metal chips soon, and see you on your way to a fine engine that runs. It's always great to see new names and new projects on the site, the more the merrier. Good luck with that Stuart, :beer: Cheers, Jack

thanks gents, this thing does require some work, however im ok with it,
since i dont have a lathe= :( i have turned over the centering and drilling of the flywheel,the manufacturing of the eccentric bushing, and mannufacturing of the piston to a freind at work
the rest of this i can handle here at home :)
thanks for the help here

It's good that you have a friend to help you, but it is a heavy way to build a engine on :doh:
