Ha! Found something in Portland. But this is 10 years old. Does anyone know if this is yearly? I could go to this but not this year--I'm in Las Vegas. but it looks fun

The Portland show has been gone for at least 10 years. Too bad it was a great show and venue. Nothing left on the west side of the country.

Sad disappointment

The thing to remember is that these are probably not these machinist's first engines; they probably had to start with something simple, and then work up to something more complex.
Sometimes you have to take baby steps in order to get to your destination.
