Wobbler from John-Tom plans

[peatrich]

My first finished project. I have a Myford ML7 built in 1953 with a vertical slide I use for milling. I was brought up Imperial but latterly I have become more familiar with metric as I ride more modern Japanese, German and British motorcycles, so all my tools, apart from the lathe are also metric. This is a little wobbler I made as a first steam engine project from John-Tom plans found on the internet and metal recycled from a local scrap metal dealers. The flywheel was the lid of something like a hydrant or fire extinguisher. It needs a little more work before it will run, I wanted to see it assembled.

This is a great steam engine to built. Was my very first sliding valve,double acting engine. Will run very very low speed to break neck speed.This is a very forgiving engine to build compared to I.C. engines.

Please post video of engine running at very dead slow speed.
