I can try to. Trick my wife into a surprise anniversary trip, but the backlash may be more than .015. Lol, machinist joke.

These would be a lot easier to attend if they weren't on my anniversary weekend for the last two years.

I question if I could even build an ic engine that would run as well, and as long as one I can buy. Steam seems to be a bit different.

What percentage of the engines built here go into any application other than demonstrations? Not a criticism, but building them for the sake of building them seems to be ok.

Carter Tools mentioned above is the best Taig resource out there. Nick Carter is very helpful, answers his emails quickly and has a great knowledge of the lathe.mm

Does it have axes because of the logs. Grammar police. 👮

I guess it could have a bend, but I think there would be other larger problems that caused this.

I like that cam grinder, looks easy enough for me to use.

If'n you are going to carry, the Taig is nice and light minus the motor. Never used a Seig, but I think they can cut threads if that is important to you.

They have a good Facebook page too, and yes I'm asking about your kit. Again, I'm not sure what I'd do with it, but I really want one.

Just looked that up. That sounds like the way to go. When do you start, because I really want to follow this build.

I guess as long as their is enough air at the right velocity to draw and vaporize the fuel going through the Venturi all should be fine right?

My Taig mill and lathe are on a bench in the corner of my 8' x 12' shed, on a 30" x 24" bench. My recommendation is have the ground floor, acoustic foam on the walls and ceiling, and wood floors with a tough finish.

Mine has seen some rough use as it was my first lathe, and suffered through my learning curve, but the runout is still less than .001.

This looks like the low RPM two cycle I was looking for. Please build this so I may watch.
