Arnold,
You did a great job on you "Fancy". I am almost done with mine and it was fun to see how someone else may have dealt with the different parts of the build. I generally document my builds and post a bunch of pics. For some reason, I got started on this and said screw it. Now I now wish that I had taken the time. I still have to finish shaping my crank and complete the final fit and assy.
The piston, rod and cylinder were a bit dodgy for me as I have never built anything this small. I've worked with close tolerences in fitting pistons, cylinders and bearings in motorcyle and auto race engines all my life, but nothing like working on this little bugger.
