MB's end of season picture post.

[Metal Butcher]

A while back a few of the members asked to see pictures of all my engine builds. I promised I would post pictures around the 1st of April. " promise made, promise kept". I broke up my self display into four picture quadrants (A,B,C,D), and one distant overall view (E). These pictures represent three seasons of engine building, two of which were here as a member of H.M.E.M..

A) Upper left.

B) Upper right.

C) Lower left.

D) Lower right.

E) Overall view.

#1 Elmer's #44 Open Column Twin.

#2 Elmer's #8 Scotty. A scotch yoke single cylinder

#3 Elmer's #51 V3R. An oscillating three cylinder engine with reverse. Built around Thanksgiving time so I named the engine "Turkey."

#4 A opposed twin cylinder wobble plate engine I built based on Elmer's #14 in the #5 picture below.

#5 Elmer's #14 Wobble Plate Engine.

#6 Elmer's # 52 Reversible Vertical Twin Wobbler.

#7 A single cylinder wobbler I built based on Elmer's #52 in picture #6 above.

#8 Elmer's #33 Mill Engine.

#9 Elmer's #41 Factory Engine.

#10 And below is my final build of the season, Elmer's # 29 Mine Engine.

I hope you enjoyed watching my engine builds, and many thanks to all of you for your help and support.

Good God man, do you never sleep! ;D What a tremendous collection of work and all displayed quite well. Personally, I would like to thank you for sharing the ride with us these past couple of years as I remember watching many of these jewels while they were being built. Quite the accomplishment, please don't stop now. :bow:

Great collection MB. Thanks for sharing the builds with us. That's a lot of fine work to do in 3 years never mind seasons? Are your seasons more than a year long :big:

Have a great off-season, see you back in the shop in the fall

Cheers,
Phil

Thanks Jim! I really do need to take a break. With the arrival of spring the open road is calling me. But "I'll be back", (Arnold S. said that, and I can't spell his last name for sure!) :big:
I'll still be around, lurking in the "peanut gallery".

Truly marvelous MB! Thanks for the shot. One day they may find their way into a museum someplace. Looks like you're out of shelf space.

Thank you, and your welcome Trout! Museum? Or maybe "Honey" will have a Garage Sale! She once said "build more!, I'll have lots of money when I sell them!" :big:

Its getting a little tight on those shelves for sure. Its good that I emptied all the bottles of liquor! ;D

Thanks putputman! I like to think of myself as a person "persistently pursuing the ability to do what talented men can do." ;D

MB,

Thanks for sharing your builds.

Perhaps in your "off" season you can build some shelves to hold next seasons engines.
