Today I finished an ML Midge and got it running. This is my first "diesel."
My first IC engine was a Little Dragon, shown below. I built it in the midst of building a Breisch Associated Hired Man hit-and-miss, also shown below.
I bought the Hired Man castings from Paul in his basement when I was starting grad school around 1981. Between getting educated, married, housed, and siring offspring, it took about 20 years to complete the Hired Man. When I started building it, I had no machinery of my own. Now I have a bunch.
