I finished this engine over a month ago. I finally found some time to get these pictures up. The castings were purchased from Bob Herder and it is a nice running engine. Thanks for looking Don (Chads)

I just finished up a Bob Herder's Thompson engine. I tried to run it but it only popped a couple times. The compression is very low and I changed out the CI piston ring with a rubber O-ring- Same thing >:( The valves seem to be seating fine. Has anyone ever seen this before on any other...

I picked up this Band Saw yesterday. I'm not sure what make it is nor do I have any info on it. I measured the blade to have a diameter of 51.5". That doesnt seem to be standard. Any ideas what it is? Thanks, Chads

I want my second engine to be an air cooled. Has anyone had any experience with the Martin Models Gade? I was wondering how the castings and prints are. Any other suggestions on a air cooled besides a Red Wing (I think its too big for my lathe) Thanks, Don (Chads)

A little off topic, but... When I was a little guy my Dad and I used to fly model rockets. It's time to introduce my kids to this hobby, but instead of sticking a rod in the ground and lighting a wick I made this with some odds & ends scrap metal laying around...

As an RC aircraft pilot, I used to hate the stupid questions I would get at the field such as "How high can it go?" and "Did you ever crash?" etc... Now that I have completed my first IC engine I get a new stupid question. "What are you going to use it for?" I don't see why people can't...

I just wanted to share a few pictures of my first engine. I just have to add an ignition system and see if she runs.

Can a 2-stoke model airplane engine carburetor be used on a small Hit & Miss engine. Just wondering if anyone has tried it...

I am getting close to finishing my first IC hit and Miss. Can someone explain to me how the hall effect setup works? From what I see, a small magnet is installed on the cam gear and that triggers the engine to spark. Does it spark everytime it passes the magnet - which would mean it fires...

I am working on a piston for my Hired Man engine. What type of O-Rings do you guys use on IC engines. Also, are they to be a loose fit and do you use 1 or 2. Any advise on this would be appreciated. Don

What is the best way to cut a valve seat. I am making an Associated Hired Man and I will be working on the head soon. This is my first engine and I want to get this right. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks Don

So I have finally decided to build a small hit n miss engine. After reading many good things about the Coles products I ordered one on August 5. After 3 weeks and many phone calls to a guy named Ken, it appears he shipped it to the wrong address. When I finally received it last week it was...

Let me know if you have one you would like to sell. Thanks, Don
