ok. First, hello! Second....
I have experience working with bike engines, and welding bike frames and that kind of stuff.
I have a 10" Atlas Lathe a Cheap manual mill and a 12" Sheldon shaper. I also have wood working tools (thick planer, jointer). I can use all at amateur levels. I am self-teaching myself how to use these pieces of machinery.
In an effort to do that, I would like to attempt to make a miniature engine. I think if I can make a small engine, I can eventually graduate to larger things.
I would like suggestions on the best (easiest?) engine to start with. The flame "sniffer?" type look cool, but would build an engine powered by air if recommended.
I would need plans that are easy to follow, and with a bit of margin for error. This is so I can lean, but not be discouraged.
Yes, I searched the forum, but found myself more confused by the choices after doing so.
Any suggestions from someone who has been there, done that?
