Shay construction

[Waldbahner]

Some more progress done. I milled out the side area. The second photo is a preview of the next steps. I marked the hudge area where the crank shaft will spin and that has to be cut away later. But first, I'll mill some more details and other areas on this part.
While using an 8mm ball end mill, I got nice rounded corners and the part looks like cast iron.
