Both of these are very cool! Love it! Other than the number of parts, is there any reason the V-4 is more challenging to a noob than the single?

Loved catching up with this.

Stunning. Quite the curiosity, and beautiful as well.

This guy is quite good as well(Keith Appleton). And funny! https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLDV_TkPc48RFIUtHqzTAYmXhr3mOm-tZ6

This is great!

Ok, y'all have convinced me. An Elmer's wobbler it is. I found his book for free download online (it's evidently out of print and people are asking crazy money for it like $600)

Wow this is incredible!

Wow. That boiler is beautiful.

Dave, Thanks. I saw the books on Stuart's site and definitely planned to add one to the order if I go that route. I emailed Stuart and they recommended the S50, 10V, and 10H as good "starter" models. I like the look of the 10V, although understand the reality of a few mistakes on the first...

Hi, I’m contemplating my first model engine build. I’m leaning toward a cast kit. Stuart seems to have a good reputation, and a price to go with it. How does Stuart compare to PM, et al? What’s a good starter kit? Should I build a steam plant (intimidating) or build an engine first and run...

Beautiful.

Wow. I know my articulation can be overwhelming.:rolleyes: Really nice work!

I know this is a modeling site, but as somebody who hasn't tried doing it yet, this thread is amazing to me!

Richard, I’m in the Bay Area—Pleasanton, CA. I’m not ready to list mine, but Jeff has a nice one he is thinking of selling. Evan

Jeff, I'm also a newbie, so I'll defer to folks on here a lot more knowledgeable than me, but I'll share my limited experience. I wanted a decent hobbyist lathe. The Atlas, Logan, Powercraft, etc. seemed to meet the bill. I, too, was a woodworker hobbyist and wanted machines on casters so I...

Brian, Nice work, and an inviting space. Quite an impressive collection of machines you've built! Seeing the spindle sander in your office made me chuckle a bit as I'd think that would spew much more sawdust than the flooring. Evan

Jeff, I'm in Pleasanton. I just upgraded from a Logan 816 lathe to a Graziano 12S. It seems I buy more tools than make stuff, but hopefully that will change in the not-too-distant future. Tend to agree with the Logan being superior to the Atlas, but either can be used to make cool stuff...

I bought a 5MT test bar off eBay, and was delighted at the quality for the price (~$100 delivered within a week from India to CA in a nice-ish wooden box). I laid it on my surface plate and back-lit it--the light was pretty uniform with maybe a skosh more light in the center. I then put it on...

That is beautiful! Nicely done. Sorry I missed this thread until now!

Fair enough, but it's not that hard to find specs online. I just liked his overview video. Here's specs on the Marathon Micromotor System ($325 from Gesswein) Controller Electrical: 110/220V, 50/60Hz Output Voltage: 0-30V DC (continuously variable) Dimensions: 4-1/2"W x 5-3/4"D x...
