Very nice engine Richard - runs beautifully. Thanks for sharing it. Charlie

Beautiful completion and finishing of a family treasure. I'm sure they will be very pleased. Charlie

Looking good Albert! You are well on the way to adding another fine engine to your growing collection. Charlie

Looks like a great project Albert. You'll manage it; it is about the journey after all and isn't there an old saying about how a Journeyman can fix his own mistakes but a Master Craftsman is able to fix the errors of others? Have fun with it! Charlie

Absolutely gorgeous Albert! The colours chosen really set off all the shiny bits. An inspiring result ... Charlie

Well done Albert! Your handiwork runs very well. Just think, it will only get better with age and more running ... Charlie

Sheesh - get distracted for a few days and next thing you know, Albert's got a runner! Gotta like that. You've (virtually) completed a challenging build Albert ... bask in the glory! Charlie

You've sure got the momentum up Albert. Feels good to check off a part/session for a change doesn't it? Cheers Charlie

Absolutely gorgeous Mark! Love combination of colours. Charlie

Very, very nice engine you've built there.

Tigershark - it's never too late to start. Believe me, the Gnome wasn't my first engine. It didn't take too long however before I became confident with the machining operations involved to tackle it. Just like software, it's a collection of objects ;). Funny you should mention an ignition...

Very nice Albert - you are making good progress and a great job of it! Charlie

Great idea for using stuff you (probably) had about the house and shop Luc. I may have to copy your idea - once I find that opener that cuts off the lid under the bead. Cheers Charlie

Terrific runner Pete! You've done yourself proud this engine runs beautifully. As others have mentioned, it doesn't seem to "kick" any worst than others, in fact seems rather sedate (but that may be down to how well you've "tied it down"). Some have simulated a cast surface using an electric...
