Thank you very much guys. :thumbup: :thumbup:

As you all guessed, yes I am chuffed to bits and very veyr pleased with it. I have a huge smile on my face today and it definately gives you an immense feeling of satisfaction, knowing that it lives because of you, and all that hard work has paid off and given you something back. As I said, it still needs many bits and bobs doing so it way fro mfinished, but knowing that I will have something working at the end of it is very very sweet.

As mentioned all the way through this post, I have encountered many issues, due to inexperience, lack of tools and lack of knowledge, but despite all of these it runs, even though I had no idea how to time it, I just kept trying different places until it ran, lol.

A special mention needs to go out to Stilldrillin and my step father, who without their guidence and experience, this engine would have not have come to life at all. Of course a thank you to Madmodder and all its members as its been a huge source of inspiration to me, and still is, seeing what can be done and what people can do with experience, thank you :thumbup: :bow: :beer:

OK, its finished apart from the wooden mount, which I am working on getting and making some form of brass pulley for the end of it so it can run a sprung belt through it, once thats on, I will cut the crankshaft down to size, and JD (job done) :)

Here are some pictures and a video of it running on air, not on a compressor, but by me blowing into it, hence its a very short video as I do run out of breath quite quickly, lol :)

Next project as a parellel clamp, but I finished that this moring too, lol, so on with the tail stock die holder. After all this work on the engine, its back to learning basics which is what I should have been doing in the first place, so some overdue turing practice is in order as well as making a very useful tool....
