I just finished making this engine. It is one of Jerry Howell's designs.

Thank you for the kind words. I am fairly new to machining, sure is a fun hobby.

That is just plain lovely. What a nice job, as others it would be great to see it running in a video.

Very nice! How long did it take to make it? What machines did you use if you don't mind me being nosey.
 
I did not keep track of my time while working of the engine. I have a chronic low back problem so I am only in my shop for an hour or two at a time. I have set up a small shop in my basement. I have a southbend 10k lathe and a mill/drill along with some other usual tools needed for metal working. I do have a short video of the beamer engine running. So far I can only run it if I do not connect the "belt" to the governor and fan. Since then I have started other projects and have not gotten back to the beamer. If I get the video on youtube I'll post it.
