Many thanks to Jan Ridders for the excellent design! This thing is a reliable runner (chugging away next to me as I type :)), and always delights during "show and tell" sessions.

It could use some more polishing & what-not, but that's never been my strong suit ;D

Dave,

That is a beautiful example of the Bas!!
Excellent work getting it to run on a tea light candle. :eek:

Just imagine how it would look if it had all the parts "BLINGED"!!! ;D

Maybe the squeak would disappear if the piston was changed to graphite?

Thanks, everybody :)

Yeah, it would be nice to see everything polished up, and the graphite piston idea has crossed my mind... and I guess I did promise myself to do the brass trim pieces under the pedestals. Well, we'll see; but I'm serious about that kitchen remodel - ordered the cabinets today ::)
 

Very nice Dave, she's a beauty!
