With all the work that you've put into this build, there must be a huge sense of achievement to get it running.

Well done :thumbup: :thumbup:

Looking back on this thread I see that the first part (eccentric) was made on April 29, so it was just shy of 3 months from start to getting it to run. I estimate I have about 150 shop hours so far. I purposely limit myself to 4-6 hours max. time in the shop at a time to avoid getting burned out.

I have to give John props for the design, plans, and construction book, as well as the ongoing advice on this forum. I can definitely recommend this build to anyone looking to "step up" from wobblers. None of the parts is very difficult to make given some care and accurate measurement. My having DROs on the mill and lathe definitely made things easier/quicker.

I don't have any pics like shred's of the practice parts. I remade the pistons and rods 5 times, mainly because I couldn't get them straight enough :bang: Having a tailstock mounted diestock for the lathe is really a must.

I still have a ways to go to get this finished and polished up. Stay tuned.

Well done! Fantastic result! :thumbup: :clap: :clap: :ddb:
