I finished off this little finger engine today. I didn't even know know these things existed until another member posted a link to a page with toys and stuff to build a few weeks before Christmas. It looked like a fun project and good for using up odd-size scraps with minimal machines, so I gave it a go. Mostly 6061 with some hot rolled for the wheel and a bit of leaded brass for the pad. The whole thing is only about six inches tall, and even though it looks dead simple there is a bit of technique needed to keep the thing running. Anyway, fun project, thought you might be interested.
