Hi all, I have been lurking on the forum and got inspired by all the beautiful work, got me in the mood to build my first engine.
Its a brass single action wobbler about 4" high, runs well on about 15psi of air, starts to shake above 40psi, and turns into walking device at about 80psi. Didn't work from plans, just kinda built what I thought would work.
Have some construction photos here: http://dbynoe.blogspot.com/2011/12/steam-engine.html

Very nice little motor for a first effort. Had a look around your site and very nice. I like the periscope idea. Welcome to HMEM as well. Perhaps when you have a chance you could make an introductory post and tell us a bit about yourself. We look forward to your participation in the forum. :bow:

Cheers

Very nice engine. I like the little extras like the fins on the cylinder.

You and my girlfriend both, its one of those funny projects where its not quite there yet, but I think there could be something... Its currently hanging up in my garage until I figure it out.
