My first project - A gift for a friend

[t_ottoboni]

This is my first "engine" project since I bought my lathe and mill. I thought it was perfect for a gift, since it`s small enough to have on top os a desk or something. Also it`s very funny to play with!
I made it with bass and aluminium to avoid rust. I also put a small brass tag with my friend`s name and the occasion (50th birthday).
Here`s a picture:

Next project: Any simple air engine, single cilinder! ;D

That turned out real nice. Your friend should be glad to display and play with that. Looks good.
