Pistons, Rods, Bobbins, Oh My...

The pistons were made from cast iron and the rods from stainless steel.  I mounted the rods to the pistons, turned them in the lathe (on centers) and fit them in the cylinders.

The piston valves were also made from cast iron.  The stems were made of stainless steal.  The rings for the pistons and bobbins have not been made yet.
