I like this little engine I think it would make a great gift, no air hose ,no steam boiler . Where did you get the plans? Is it from castings or just bar Stock ? I will be following this build for sure
 
Ok here is where I'm at now.

Itty Bitty Fiddly bits - Nope! Not me!

Been there. It was not entirely enjoyable.

But hey, whatever floats your boat.
 
I don't mind itty bitty once in a while but I wouldn't want all of them to be small. With itty bitty the clean up is a chore almost a whole tablespoon of swarf LOL
 
Got the last parts made. I am going to powder coat and may make a video of that.

 
Excellent work - getting them to run with breath power which is around 3 psi is not that easy - fit and finish has to be spot on.
