You can give a command using the keyboard and mouse. Bat very carefully. I have already broken a lot of tools (mills and drills) before I learned how to do basic work. Ingvar.

Hello Ingvar,

thank you for the answer. I found some information about LinuxCNC and also this interesting video.

Hi Ingvar

Good to hear that you are still working on the engine project. Hopefully we shall see it all come together in 2025.

All good wishes for the New Year from (a currently sunny) Cymru.

For my part, I can report that, despite the cold weather, I continue to work on the project. The photo shows the production of bronze piston rings.

Unfortunately I can't post photos here. I would be very grateful if you provide me with the information how to do this. Thank you in advance.

That is odd you're not able to post photos anymore. Perhaps try a 3rd-party photo hosting site like flicker, then you just ad the image URL into your post and the photos will automatically appear. I wouldn't recommend photobucket as after years and years of free use they decided to extort all their historic customers by charging them a significant sum.
