Not siamese anymore but still twins. A very bashed version from Dave Goodfellow's plans. The flywheels where made last April along with most of the engine, was able to finnish it over the holidays. The cylinders are 1" aluminum bar, 1.75 long with brass lining. The base is 1/4 plate made to...

Most of the equipment I have can be run on 110v or 220v, in a home shop environment what are the advantages/disadvantages? For example, the air compressor runs alot develops 5hp :big: runs @ 2hp ::) motor output is 2.25kw (per lable on motor) Kurt P.S. Been away from HMEM since about May...

I have been practicing the 3 "L"s (lurk, listen and learn) for about a month now and just posted a video of my first engine. I bought a lathe a couple of years ago for work with "0" experience, made a few items like repair bushings and such and as I was servicing the lathe recently I thought...

This is my first attempt, built from McCabes "45" plans, I turned this into a "90". Idles slow and has a distinct exhaust pop, makes you want to close your eyes or turn away and just listen, so turn up your volume! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NP4i6Y8uV4I
