    will it run?

    well, i started drawing and getting grumpy...

    now ive started hacking up bits of alloy and brass and...getting grumpy :wee:
    anyways, just a sneak peak of the basic design for my first stirling.

    think it will run?

    obviously the pistons arent drawn yet... easier to make than draw...

    getting there...

    a day or two of making a mess and now i have...hmmm. two conrods, two pistons lapped into their sleeves, the heatsink cylinder.

    a crank! a case annnnd a front/main bearing oh what a fit

    i havent measured ANYTHING

    this could work against me in the end but so far, so good

    and honestly, havent cnc'd anything but the conrods so maybe im on the wrong site

    oh well the cold head will need the mill
