Hi - I am a member of (MEN) Model Engine News. However I missed the DVD update for Dec 2010 (men_update_1012). I was wondering if anyone could send (E-mail) it to me? It would be much Appreciated - Bill Mc [email protected]

Hi Tom - Thanks for sharing your build here with us at HMEM. I can only think of two things to say. FANTASTIC BUILD and what a TALENTED person you are. Many kudos to you. Enjoy the ride! - Bill Mc

Hi Brian - Your Webster Engine Build is real nice, congratulations. This engine is on my to-do list. I have the same milling machine as yours. Could you tell me where you get those mini fuses for it. Busy Bee off Mapleview where I bought my machine did not have any fuses that size the last time...

Hi fellas - Wish I had a passport so that I too could go to this years N.A.M.E.S. from Ontario, Canada. However I have been to the Ford Museum at Dearborn Michigan 3 times through the years. It is fantastic there. They have trains, planes and automobiles of every description there as well as ALL...

Hi Arnold - I just started looking at your project here and I can prove it. I was looking at your first photo and comments. I also removed the saftey guard and switch assembly from my Craftex (Busy Bee) CT129 mill/drill. The reason being the plastic guard prevented me from getting the quill down...

That's A real cute little engine Rick. Congratulations on such a fine build. - Billmc

Hi Crankshafter - Did you ever put the finishing touches to your UPSHUR TWIN? The last post I could find was August 31 2009. You were coming along very nicely with this engine. - Bill

Hi Chuck _ You have done a wonderful job on this engine build. Can't wait to see what you opt for next. - One of your fans - Billmc

Hi Troutsqueezer - Great idea about making small milling bits out of drill bits (especially if you have drill bits which are damaged on the ends anyway). I wrote this tip in my little note book. - Thanx - Billmc

Hi Steve - The other fellows in our group have said it all including this "CONGRATULATIONS" - Billmc

the plan is there now!

Hi Charlie - I can see where the Boll-Areo 18 will become a great beginners (newby) project. The materials are not hard to obtain and the plans are explicit in detail. Probably the beginners will ask for more rudimentary things like photos of actual machining operations and how to set them up...

Hi Steve - I am so happy to see you describing your build of a straight 8 with lots of photos. I have always admired the Buick and Oldsmobile straight eights of yore. A friend of mine had a 1952 Olds straight 8 OHV with the 'super drive' automatic transmission. It was a real good engine with...

That's a fine picture of Rudy. I wish that I had the pleasure of meeting him. - billmc

Hi Chuck - Approximately what is the diameter of that jar because the exposed surface area would be very important as to how rich the vapor is as well. Part of that calculation would be as to what displacement the engine is also as to what the engines needs for proper combustion. - Billmc

Hi Chuck - Are you going To Convert This Engine Over To Gas Also ? Hee-Hee Just Kidding - Billmc

Hi black85vette - I appreciate what you are planning to build but, won't the teeth on those two 'flywheels' be more like a buzz saw when the engine is running? I sure wouldn't want to accidently touch them with my wrist. Just thought I would put in my two cents worth. - Billmc

Hi deere_x475guy - Glad to see that you are back at 'er agin' ! - verrrry interesting - Billmc

Hi deere_x475guy I have been following/watching your thread(s) on building the 'Webster Engine'. I noticed that there has not been much activity on it for the last while. Then I noticed in another recent thread that you mentioned that the 'Webster was much closer to completion'. This aroused my...

Hi Chuck - Tickled pink to see this engine up and running on fuel instead of air. I still haven't taken the plunge and started my Henry Ford's First Engine (still have to order the special tubing for the cylinders and a few other bits and pieces), but your engine has me all fired up. Reading...
