thanks to terrywerm for bringing this engine to my attn and a bit of helpful advice .
i decided to build this engine mainly because after getting a look at the plans last night i realized i had nearly everything i needed to build it already minus a single piece of brass .
its the easy engine from another site we wont mention here ... and the plans are aptly named , this is going to be a rather easy and very fun project .
i was feeling rather ambitious this morning so i made a pretty good start today .... here goes the pics
both pieces for the base sawn out of a sheet of quarter inch aluminum
holes layed out and center punched on the upright portion of the base
holes centerdrilled a pilot holes finished ... except for a set screw i forgot :nervous:
and the upright mounted on the base
ooops .... i seem to have met my quota on pics ... once i figure out how to fix that ill upload some more
this evenings project ... turn some round stock into squares for the cylinder and valve
