I am a Maintenance Electrician working in a big manufacturing Plant. I only did a little machining for maintenance purposes only. One of my fellow tool makers was building an engine and that’s what got me started. Bought a plan from EBay and built the engine. Not having any training my tolerances are very loose. But working in a shop I have a bunch of machines to work with. (On my lunch hour of course). :big: Played with it for a while then decided to make it drive something. Got the Nodding donkey plans from one of these forums and built it.

Well Done Goody! I like it! Total freelance?...or did you have a set of plans?

PS....never mind...I found it....nice plans Brian! I'll tell you I'll be glad when the project I'm on at work is finally done!...... too many hours!
 
A really nice engine. I like the video, you can see things in operation very well.
 
Brian Rupnow did the plans for that one. Theye are in the DL section.
 
That is really cool! I love it when an engine is put to work, and the pump is scale to boot. Makes a great "clackety-clack" sound too.

Nice work!
 

Congratulations!

Lots going on there to please the eye.
