I like you fixtures to finish out the elbows, I intend to copy them. Thank you for posting.

Welcome Manny, I was lucky enough to attend a high school that held "Industrial Arts" classes. Freshman thru Junior years and I took all that were offered. Drafting, woodwork and metal work were taught. It was the ground work for a 30 year career in aerospace after my tour in the Corps...

Looking forward to seeing it run.

What a lovely engine. I bought that kit from Coles 40 some years ago. Had fun machining everything, but got tangled up in how to make it run, so put it on a shelf. Hope you have better luck.

I enjoy your builds very much and I always learn.

I always enjoy your unique solutions to problems I didn't even know I had.

What an elegant solution! My first engine build 40 years ago was a very simple 3 cylinder oscillator with simple sheet metal connecting rods that had to be bent to eliminate interference.

Like you I am right handed with most everything, however I taught myself to use the mouse left handed because I found I needed my right hand to do most of the typing on the keyboard.

Very interesting Lathe and ambitious build. I will be watching and learning.

Joe Pie is great. I have learned more from him about machining technics than anywhere else.

I am sure this has been done somewhere, sometime, but I have never seen it and I like it.

I will be watching also, keep posting your progress.

A thing of Beauty. Thank you for sharing. That was no small undertaking. Do you have a video of it running?

Really great photos and descriptions. I have one question, how did you 'bell out' the chimneys?
