my first stirling

[coffeebean16]

hello all,

no mater how much i read i still cant look at the tin can stirlings widely published on you-tube and conceptualize how to make one for myself. I'm a subscriber to the designer/builder of my project on you-tube. hopefully building this will illustrate the things i don't pickup from videos.

anyway, it has metal in it. myfordboy is the name of the you-tube user that i got this from.

first steps in construction:
1.) parts layoutView attachment 2

Dave H,
the material shown in the pics is 1/8 MDF. same stuff as the peg boards to hang tools on. I'm not very impressed with it. if i do this engine again i wont be using it.

depending on time i might get to the rest tomorrow. its been fairly quick.
