Verry Nice! The speed is just about perfect.

I would think: large bore, long stroke, large or heavy flywheel, double acting or multi-cylinder, close tolerances on valving and piston, free running bearings. I like them to run slow also. I want to see all the parts moving and working, the slower the better since I don't think to fast! ;D

It's nice to be able to walk away and let them keep their $60 rip off bolt and rely on your own abilities!

Thanks for posting, I'll look around for stuff to build one of my own!

I would be interested in seeing your Pyrometer.

Nice work.

John, good thing it rains there occasionally or you will never get off the bike and set up your shop!

Speaking of steam rollers, Here is a master piece that one our members, Birk, scratch built: http://birkpetersens.blogspot.com/2008/02/buffalo-springfield-steam-roller.html

Nice score John. 2.75 Wings? That will keep you busy with polishing rag! I know from experience for I have but 1.0 old Gold Wings. They sure have change since 1977, here's mine: What I did this weekend was to about finish the sand muller I am building to make tempering my casting sand...

Wow! Boo Hoo! Scorned! The only one with no votes! :'( I see how the wind blows around here. The mob has spoken, i will except my judgement and hope to garner your favor somehow in the future. :( psst -(I really didn't care for my entry that much myself that is until it flew apart) ;D...

HAHAHA! I like that - self ejecting safety quick release con rod (pat. pending)! I had a 175cc Can Am dirt bike that had this feature, but the only time it activated was one day when I was flying down the highway at 70 mph. It not only stopped the bike quickly, but cause an immediate release...

I say it's time for a wider door! A few minutes with a chain saw, problem solved. Think of great shop ventilation you'll have. Nice looking mill (miller).

Welcome! I haven't been here long myself. Looking at your photo's, I wonder to myself, does anyone actually use their garage anymore as a place to park a car? ??? My little one car garage hasn't seen a auto in it since I moved to this house 13 years ago! Anyway - enjoy this group, I know I do.

Hey Cedge, I for got to say what an amazing engine you built. I could never of forseen a 3 hammer scotch yoke contraption! Wonderful! I've got to use that flywheel arrangement somehow, someway!

The extra holes are there for additional speed ratios! ;) Actually, thanks for pointing out one of my build time extending mistakes! ;D

How about using an inverter? http://www.leeson.com/products/stock_drives.htm

Well, after viewing the impressive, unusual, and somewhat dumbfounding efforts put forth by the creative members of this group, I can only surmise my thinking remains in side the Box! :-[ Who would of expected an engine made from your neighbors shrubbery, someones lunch, or facial soap and a...

Beautiful! Very elegant - can you say that about an engine ???

As much as I would like to be starting on the finger engine challenge, I instead decided to start on the cheap sand muller I threatened to build some time ago. I want to make it easier to temper my casting sand after and there for start doing some more elaborate engine castings. This may not...

Hello. Eh!
