Thank you for that very nice video it would be nice to disassemble 1 of those cylinder assemblies and measure it and then replicate it I have a but I don't have any dimensions to work with I own numerous mamod steam engines.

It's not something that I would like to take apart unfortunately.

Considering the high quality that Trev built that beautiful stamp mill to .... I'd be willing to bet that even a standard oscillating Mamod TE could run it just fine!

What a treat!!!

I'd like to try cracking peppercorns with it.....can't remember if our Nick tried that or not.
