First Rocker ever

[stirlingboy]

Hello all,

I've been following this site for a while and this is my first build of a Rocker Engine.

I got into this hobby about a few months ago and this site has been a great place to visit and source of information of what can be done with a little time and a small Sherline lathe. I got the plans for the engine from this site and I apologize for not remembering who posted the plans. I still have to make the stand for it, but I wanted to see it run so I just clamped to my vise.

;D Well done indeed Pete Thm: - it purrs very nicely along!

'Tis nearly to the week a year ago I built one as a first running engine, and I still know the feeling you know now ;D
wEc1 to HMEM as well - I see this is your first post! It would be nice if you could post an intro in the Welcome section

Kind regards, Arnold

Welcome to the forum Pete.
Nice job on the rocker and congratulations.

Several of us were 'vaccinated' against 'rocker-itis' last year. ;D

Looking forward to seeing more projects from you.

Thanks everyone.
I think I was hooked a few years ago, but only recently did I decided to go for it and buy a home lathe.

Welcome aboard. wEc1

Your first engine sure runs good. Thm:

My first runner was this past March.

Keep at it.

This is one of the most enjoyable things that I get to do now.

Welcome to the forum,
for someone who just got into this hobby a few months ago,
your engine looks, and runs, as if you were in this hobby for years.

Congratulations on a job very well done.
