Essentially the NAMES finger engine with the flywheel running on a jackshaft at twice the speed of the crank:

I can't help myself... ::)
 
I re-purposed another flywheel and borrowed the connecting rod and rocker from the other one just to see if it was going to work:

It does! Really well too ;D

On too the wood base & a bunch of polishing.
 
Should be interesting. Worked on flywheel for my finger engine today.
 
I built a geared 2:1 finger engine as a gift, they work great and offer a more interesting appearance. It looks like yours will be nicer than what I put together!
