Elmer's Kimble engine

Arnold, everytime I start an engine I think will be different, you seem to jump in and make one.  Your results are far better than I can achieve at this point probably ever, so posting mine after you would be like showing off a child's fingerpainting after the Mona Lisa.

Would you please tell me what you are going to do next so I can avoid the heartache?

Hi Rleete.

I promise you; it's not intentional; I pretty much follow my heart on what engine to build next; the Kimble was nagging at me to get built for more than a year...

Please don't put your own work down - go ahead and build your projects and share them - nobody will think badly of your work, and others are always willing to add good suggestions as to how one can improve.  If you receive criticism, it will 99% of the time be of a positive nature - from someone truly willing to take the time and effort to type up something to try and help.
When I started out in this hobby, I was in constant awe at how well other people's work came out against my own feeble attempts, and that can be disheartening.  We all have to start somewhere - so back then, I made myself a simple promise; I wouldn't compare my work against that of others; I would just take on each project and build it to the best of my own abilities, and try and improve in areas that needs improving on each project.  I am, in fact, my own worst critic. 

As to the next engine, I'm getting in the mood for a bit of gear cutting, so it might just be the #5 Geared engine next - but there are other engine builds also clamoring for attention from my brain cell - both from Elmer and others...

I must say a fine fine show. I still have not made mine yet, but I hope that it is half as nice as yours. A very nice write up and machining. So much skill, just wonderful.

I've been watching you and you have my vote all the way. That was one of the most amazing builds so far. Now I think I will try. I just loved the acrylic side set it off just right. What a piece for display. If you have not noticed I am isostatic. Love it and great craftsmanship.
