Krv,

It's nice to see that you are doing it the long way, by hand.

A lot of us have forgotten that a drill, hacksaw and file can be used instead of a mill. It brings back memories when I had no mill either, but I had a lot of elbow power then.

Nice work Bob! You must have the patience of a saint doing all that with files & hacksaws... although I must admit I get bored of filing very quickly...

That's looking really nice Bob, can't wait to see it assembled.

To answer your earlier question - I've not heard from the engine owner yet, I think it'll be a few weeks yet before he's ready to run it.
