Bar stock hit & miss recommendations sought

[dgjessing]

So now that I've got a Webster under my belt I'm thinking I'd like to build a hit & miss engine. Relatively easy would be good... Ideas?

The Kerzel would also be a good choice!
its free, has nice lines, fun to build and there are two other builds on this site to guide you.
I personaly would love to relive it with you.
The lock out lever can be tricky, but if you widen the bobben there is more room to play with.
But dont make the lever out of brass like I did :big:

Harold Depenbusch's hit and miss is another one to consider. I think the book with drawings
is available from Lindays and other sources.

Zero-Six from MEB is not bad. Build it from the drawings and it will look like this

Or do as I did, keep it mechanically the same and just do a bit more work on the bar stock to make it look like castings & forgings.

Do look into the Upshur farm engines.

I got Howell's Farm Boy plans and these, and finally decided on an Upshur because it looks a bit easier.

There is also the "Odds 'n Ends" by Phil Duclos. Book it currently out of print from Village Press but plans are around somewhere.

Theres also Topsy Turvy by P Duclos.Harold has a fantastic build thread on here or if you like them smaller what about a Little Angel by Bob Shores the list is endless :big: what ever you decide on good luck.
Kind regards Frazer
