Moriya Major First run

[Raydar]

Well I got far enough along to make a first run on the Moriya Major built from James R. Senft's book available on Amazon. Still need to finish it up with a guard. It started really easy. I made the compressor piston from graphite and it requires some oil to get a good seal but it reached 350 RPM.

I'm jealous; I never did get mine to work.

She looks good, Raydar! You made the chimney good and tall...the exhaust is well above the fan. Almost finished !
