    Arnold's take on Elmer's Grasshopper

    Hi Arnold - I just started looking at your project here and I can prove it. I was looking at your first photo and comments. I also removed the saftey guard and switch assembly from my Craftex (Busy Bee) CT129 mill/drill. The reason being the plastic guard prevented me from getting the quill down...

    Boll Aero 18

    Hi Charlie - I can see where the Boll-Areo 18 will become a great beginners (newby) project. The materials are not hard to obtain and the plans are explicit in detail. Probably the beginners will ask for more rudimentary things like photos of actual machining operations and how to set them up...

    Straight 8

    Hi Steve - I am so happy to see you describing your build of a straight 8 with lots of photos. I have always admired the Buick and Oldsmobile straight eights of yore. A friend of mine had a 1952 Olds straight 8 OHV with the 'super drive' automatic transmission. It was a real good engine with...

    Simplified Vapor Fuel Tank

    Hi Chuck - Approximately what is the diameter of that jar because the exposed surface area would be very important as to how rich the vapor is as well. Part of that calculation would be as to what displacement the engine is also as to what the engines needs for proper combustion. - Billmc
