Post by: Skyrocket on August 16, 2013, 09:43:40 PM

Hi Chris.
           That looks MAD enough for madmodders, welcome to the madhouse.  :thumbup:  I would think that

Dave (stilldrilling) would be interested in anything Mamod, so you must "get round to it" with part two. :hammer:

Cheers Dek. :med:

Yes, enjoyed that! You had fun making it and I had fun watching it run! It's authentic in my book, more than 80% Mamod, lets see it run a lawn mower!!

Thanks, a nice way to end the day! Regards, Matthew

Hi Chris.

What a crackin' project!  :bugeye:

Love your sequence of thought and development, as the project rolls along.......  :thumbup:

I never got further than three......  http://madmodder.net/index.php/topic,1128.0.html  Then, four cylinders, myself.......    http://madmodder.net/index.php?topic=5643.0
(Both of those engines are in Australia, now).


Love it! Blummin well done!  :clap: :clap:

Hello Chris and welcome to our club.

I very much enjoyed your engine whizzing around and making a sound like a V-8. well done sir on a successful build and design.

I chuckled when i saw the fly-wheel.  :(  in the back of my mind i thought " Bastard" !

 Thanks For the nice comments you guys are my heros!
 ,David I've followed your build closely and indeed your quobble helped me a lot in my build, Ive been subbed to your YouTube channel a good while now, you've got serious talent are you a engineer by trade?
This was my first go at modding a few years ago... But how many times did I say the word "now" in the video? Lol

Chris.
I thought I recognised your handle and email addy, when I first saw it........   :scratch:

An Engineer? I call myself a Bodger. Spent a working lifetime, machining.

I made my first swarf, at school, in 1958, and I'm still at it.

Stick around here. It's a great place to be.  :thumbup:

Yep, totally brilliant, best I made was a three cylinder radial, not to my plans either.   :bow:

That V8 is really cool, and so is your accent!
