Next project suggestion

Having just completed Jerry Howells V twin (Pictures attached) I'm wondering if anyone can suggest a next project? Nothing more complicated than the V twin which I found very hard testing my limited self taught knowledge and ability, to the limit, petrol or steam, no more than two cylinders. Any suggestions will be very welcome.

Many thanks,

Max

Look into some of Bob Shores engines. Half are bar stock and half are casting based. Most of the castings are still available.

I don't know your budget but PM research do some nice unmachined kits and a boiler to suit.

There's a vertical boiler kit they do too for a little less money, of course you could just find some plans for the boiler instead

One UK distributor is Forrest classics. Though with conversion rates you may be better buying direct from the supplier if they allow it??
