Saw, Glad you are enjoying it. I will soon be onto the fiddly bits, that is the part I like the most, and where I hope to leave some of my bling ideas. I hate engines that all look the same, with just a few little changes, it becomes personalised. Dave, You have got it spot on, just like I always like to leave a break in a project, pick it up and you are into it straight away. John |

Looks great John, it's without a doubt already looking like the best version of this I have seen. My engines usually look different because I use what I have to hand or make it easier to make! The only differences on my poppin are slightly smaller flywheels but I put 6 holes in them too, I prefer the look. It has less fins as the grooves are the width of my parting tool, piston design is different and graphite and I have omitted radii and base as I feel they are unnecessary extra work! Can't wait to see what you have planned here, will pick up on your minibar in the mean time though. |

Hi John, that is a fine looking engine you're getting ready to build, to go with the minimag, appreciate the picture, worth at least a thousand words. I truly admire the work you've done on this build, it's coming along very nicely, well planned out, and coming together very nicely, that job on the hopper worked out well, and should have the cylinder in the right place when you've bored it, and the engine ought to be able to do some work in its own right. are you doing a build log on the minimag? I for one, would be highly interested in seeing it, and I suspect there are others lurking out there who would like to see it done up. Now I am also looking forward to your build of the R&B engine, when its time comes. I'm really looking forward to seeing this engine running, it looks to be something with some power and stamina, with that hopper to cool it, and the secret plan you have involving the bored hopper top. :poke: :beer: cheers, mad jack |

Nick, I'm not doing a lot to the engine, no reshaping of major parts. Just fitting a nice filler funnel top to the hopper, to get away from the squarish shape and make reshaped rods, rather than the straight bits called for on the plans. As long as the pivot points are in the same positions, and nothing catches anywhere, then almost anything goes. Thanks Jack. I have a couple of private jobs to do, and once those are completed, I will be doing a full build on the minimag. I had a first look at the plans last night, and also the preliminary build instructions, which require following as close as possible to prove them. Looks like I will have to find the swivel base for my vice that I dumped somewhere in the back of the shop, I've never had to use it before. The R&B will be many moons off, I have to complete all my backlog jobs first. John |
