A Typical NYC Boiler Room Operation

Tater:
Jari, the red machine in the corner is a centrifuge for enriching uraniu... :smart:.oh, wait, I'm not supposed to talk about that.... :ddb:

In fact, it is a centrifuge of sorts for polishing jewelry, (and bits of steam engines, but don't tell anyone!).  The wife is a jewelry designer, (www.alexstoryjewelry.com).  - you can see her bench pin clamped on the workbench as well. 

I'm a bit of a neat freak so the workshop is generally pretty tidy - and in a small space it's a necessity.

The parts on the workbench are my very first project  - the Elderberry launch engine.  Those with a sharp eye will notice a few modifications from the plans.   :scratch:

mzt:
I can see a couple: the enlarged flywheel should help, the shorter bearing area will give You less fits into keeping the bores aligned when tightening the screws that fasten the blocks to the base.
My build was never a good runner, neither a good looker, though I recently tried to improve it on that point, with dubious results. That built wasn't started under a lucky star, and that's it.
Your parts are made very nicely: put a lot of attention into cutting the grooves into the valve and You should get it OK.
