Hi all :))

I have just completed my first project recently, simple double acting, oscillating engine, had never got round to it due to setting up my garage conversion & making stuff to make stuff with over the past year, if you get my drift, anyhow it was made from drawings off the internet, hopefully the pics /vid will load up ok...

Initial machining of flywheel..

Engine looks good, pictures look good.
 
Looks good George. You said "first project", how long have you been machining?
 
Very nice engine, George. Thanks for sharing.
 
I agree, very nice work, George! Thanks for posting the build pics!!
 
Pretty Darn Cool. I never get tired of seeing chips fly! Much better than my first oscillating engine! Great pictures. Thanks for sharing.
