Well Chuck as you can see our Bog's is well rounded, and I don't mean his middle, in engine design and build. I stand correct, he has built one out of wood. I just don't think he would go to all the fuss of getting wood chips on his nice metal working equipment to make one with tight tolerances. :lol: I am now doning my asbestos underwear because I'm sure Bog's is going to give me a shot. Innnnnnnnnnnn Comingggggggggg. Bernd |

Bernd, Isn't it marvelous what you can do with half of the neighbours tree, a bottle of superglue, a few screws and a ball of string. I must admit that it is a little more technical than the plank and nail job you came up with. Bogs |

There is actually a set of plans for sale on the late Bill Reichart's site http://www.billreichart.com/engines.shtml#woody I personally can't get used to a material that has 1/16" as a very close tolerance. But I do love well made brown items. Bogs |
