You have got to admire his determination! Worth a watch (no pun intended)

Ah, does my engineering heart good to see that John, thanks for posting . It's always been something I've thought of filling in my days with, when I'm retired. That crankshaft , getting the crank angles setup for machining, exactly between crank pins is no mean feat for a start! Didn't show how he achieved machining the camshaft or rockers but still had my jaw hanging open.
Which brings me to a question.....does anybody know if swallowing flys is good for you?

Loved it! Brought back memories of turning crankshafts at BHP. They had much bigger throw, of course, so had to be counter-weighted. Very tricky set-up but highly rewarding.

The Iron Chef music was also inspiring haha

Nice work. I'm a great fan of model steam engines....goes back to when I built a basic steam engine back in primary school. I swapped the thing for a pile of Beano mags....that was a really stupid thing to do

I liked the bit of Iron Chef comedy too.
