Happy New Year to me! We finished machining the side rods right after New Year's and then needed to make the spacers and caps. After a bunch of measurement checking and mocking up, and parts modifying, Ed cranked out the rod pin caps and spacers while I ground/sanded on the side rods. Then we mounted everything to see how well it all mated together. Kudos to the Live Steam God as it was AWESOME! We needed to perform a few slight modifications but it all fit great. No binds or kinks when all of the rods were mounted and it rolls smooth as silk with very little effort. Happy New Year to me indeed......!
