Jeff,

Is the 'Odds-n-end' engine an engine that needs plans and drawings? Surely you design and build around the odds and ends you acquire? I have in mind an odds and ends engine and am actively accumulating useful parts.....got enough for about thirty at the moment!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sorry, but this would be my First attempt at an IC Engine so I will need a lot of Guidance.

Jeff,

Look at The Shop Wisdom of Philip Duclos. I think the Odd-N-Ends is there. I have the Two Shop Masters and it isn't included.

John is correct. "The Shop Wisdom of Philip Duclos" book does include the Odds'n Ends engine. There is a copy available on eBay right now.

The engine was originally featured in Home Shop Machinist Magazine, beginning with the Nov/Dec 1986 issue (I believe it was concluded in the following issue), so there's another possible source for plans.

The Odds-N-Ends looks similar to Bob Shores "Angels" but I'm not sure what the difference in size (bore/stroke etc) is between the two engines.

Bob Shores' "Little Angel" engine is approximately half the size of the Odds'n Ends engine:

Little Angel: 1/2" Bore x 1/2" Stroke, 2.50" Flywheels

Odds'n Ends: 1" Bore x 1-3/8" Stroke, 4-15/16" Flywheels

Both models are loosely based on the full-size Witte engine design:

They're all neat engines! ;D
