New here

[cl350rr]

Hello, new guy here with mostly self taught machining experience. I have a small shop in the back yard with lathe, drill press, foundry, etc. plus some sherline stuff for winter time when the shop is too cold.

I bought a guy out of his equipment and engine projects a few years ago and set about finishing his engines before I start anything new. I managed to complete 2 of his steam engines and am working on completing the Odds and Ends hit and miss engine he started.

I have searched around and found some great ideas here and some amazing projects. hope to post completion of an engine project soon.

Thanks for the welcome, the cl350rr is no longer with me but the name stuck. it was a 1971 CL350 cafe build.

Here's a pic of the odds and ends (if I can get it to work)

Most of the heavy parts were made when I got it, I have been working the details. he seems to have run aground on the timing gears as he handed one of them to me wrapped up in a towl. took a bit of creative work but I got it to mesh without making a new one.

all I need to make it run is a muffler, fuel tank mount, and put the ignition together.

A few of my projects:

wobbler, kind of hard to build one of these wrong. runs like a champ, waiting for something to power

Reeves Trojan, runs great on compressed air but my boiler is not ready for prime time :

Put-Put Skiff; quick afternoon build to demonstrate how they work... works but tube should be larger
