Hey..I am a model maker and new here. By model maker I mean I build prototypes out of metal, wood and plastics. I have to be a machinist, designer, CNC programmer, operator and welder.

I cam here because I stumbled upon a engine and I really want to build it. It is a Hula Hula engine. I have not been able to find plans for it anywhere and was hoping someone here could send me via email the plans.

I like the site and plan on sticking around to share my knowledge and to gain some of yours.

I also work with a guy that just joined, bostondan...he is real big into these engines and has many plans but none for this particular engine that I have fallen in love with.

Turk...
I'll have to do a bit of looking, but I've seen those plans offered on Ebay. They are included in a compilation of engine plans that someone has been offering in book form. Philp Duclos was the original designer/ builder, but I've not gotten my hands on a copy of his plans.....at least not yet. I own one of these engines and they are a fascinating piece of engineering.

I saw that there was a book for about 50 bucks called "Two Shop Masters" that had the prints. I was hoping I could find someone on here that would be willing to share the prints.

I really want to try this out as well as making a Sterling Fan.

Not trying to dowse your fire. The "Sharing" of copy written material is considered piracy and is illegal under federal law. Such activity will not be encouraged or endorsed in this forum.

BTW that book sells for $42 new from the publisher Village Press 1-800-447-7367

Wow...sorry if I offended anyone here by askign for these prints. As a machinist I know I have been on other boards and we share stuff all the time, especially the real cool stuff that can help someone become a better machinist in the long run.

I guess it is off to the library.

Thanks for the welcome to the site, I look forward to sharing information with all of you. ;D

Hi Turk!

Welcome to the club.

I wonder that are you really a Turk? I mean a Turkish guy? I'm asking this, because I am a Turk from Istanbul.

Regards

No, I am not a Turk. I am a Romanian/German. My grandfather gave me the name as a baby and I have gone by that my entire life.
