This is my first scratch built engine.
It is a simple oscillator that runs very well, I am very happy with it.








There is still lots to improve on but for a first engine (at the age of 14) it's not too bad.
The finish still has lot's of room for improvement as you can see :) (it's not as bad as it looks, the photos doesn't do it any good)
A boiler is still to be made :)
I have started my second project which is Elmer's wobble plate engine but I haven't done very much on it yet (only the cylinder so far)
 
Nice work. You have lots of time to get experience but you'll never forget your first engine

Cheers,
Phil
