I'm calling my attempt at Elmer Verberg's #33 grasshopper engine finished. Yeah, it's not as pretty as some other people's work on the same engine. But all those tiny fiddly bits gave me fits. I think I had to remake at least 80% of the moving parts.
It was a learning experience to say the least.
Anyways, I do have it running on live steam in the video. I find it interesting, near the end of the video, the steam valve unseats. No surprise, but once it reseated it ran much better.
