Its a little late but here are the videos of them running. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hpjWNdIVlm0 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UgL3zuuAdLo

Another great looking engine from Inky Engines. I also like the video, as usual. Can't wait to see the Pumping Engine.

Thanks again everyone for the compliments. My camera takes horrible video so no video yet. I am looking into getting a new camera and will post videos of all of them once I get it. It does run pretty well. I was even able to run it on breath power, although only for 5 to 10 seconds before...

Thank you for the compliments.

Thanks for the replies. I am going to order a set.

Has anyone bought a chucking reamer set from http://www.cdcotools.com/? I am looking to buy a set and these seem to be the cheapest I could find. I am not expecting great quality, but are they OK for hobby use? If these are not worth buying I am looking for recommendations for a good value...

Here is my finished Twin Vertical Wobbler. It is the fourth Elmer's engine I have made after completing the Wobbler, Standby, and Grasshopper.

I have admired all your engines on here separately but I really like the picture of all of them together. Have you built any engines other than Elmer's engines? Do you really plan on making them all? I am currently on my fourth Elmer's engine and I plan to make at least five more of them.

OregonBill, Thank you very much for the compliment. I am very proud of this engine and am kind of shocked at how well it turned out. If you are looking to build a first engine I would definitely recommend one of Elmer's Engines found here http://www.john-tom.com/html/ElmersEngines.html. The...

This engine is on my list of engines I would like to make. Have you purchased the gears yet? When looking for them I was kind of surprised at how expensive they are. I think the internal gear is about $75. I am sure I will eventually buy them as this is such an interesting looking engine...

The threading dial should stop turning when the auto feed is engaged as the carriage is moving at the same rate as the leadscrew.

I have had the Harbor Freight 7x12 lathe and mini mill for about six months. I have no complains about either. The spindle guard broke on the lathe and the z axis stop broke on the mill, but neither would stop me from recommending these machines. I have not found the lathe too small yet but I...

Well done. It is definitely an unusual conversation piece.

Thank you everyone for the compliments.

Thank you. Some of your engines have stuck out to me when I first started thinking of trying some of my own, not only because of the excellent build quality but also for your videos documenting the builds. I very much enjoyed making my first three Elmer's engines. There are at least 5 more of...

Thanks for the compliment. It turned out much better than I expected. I only took a few pictures of some of the finished parts as I built them, no real build photos. I want to get a camera that I can keep out in the shop so that I can do a proper build thread on my next engine. I did not do...

Here is my finished Elmer's Grasshopper. It is my third engine after Elmer's Wobbler and Standby. I am very pleased with how it turned out. It runs well with my air pressure gauge barely coming off of zero.

Your engine looks great. This was also my first engine and I agree that it is perfect for a beginner. Do you have any plans on what to make next?

When cutting small screws I tighten them into a tapped hole in a piece of metal the same thickness as the screw length I need. I cut them with a hacksaw and then file them flush to the piece of metal to clean up the end.
