No problem being 'that guy' because it isn't a crankshaft as you said it is and eccentric shaft. Might as well get it right for those who don't know ;-)
Absolutely loving this project, would love to see a fully custom engine from the ground up. You do such a good job machining that I'm sure it would outperform any of these things on it's own.

I am 67 years old. My Grandfather was a tool and die maker. (He used to design and build the weird machines you see on 'How It's Made'.) He gave me a pile of Briggs and Stratton motors when I was five years old. They were all running when I was ten years old. The incredible wealth of knowledge that I learned in those years, about tools, mechanics, logic, and the internal combustion engine was the foundation of my life's success. At ten years old, I was proficient on the metal lathe, and learning the Bridgeport mill. I was privileged to teach computer maintenance courses for six foreign countries and NASA.

Amazing work! This is the kind of finished part, that without ever having seen somebody show me how its done, my layman/ non-machinist mind would be FOREVER stumped as to how in the hell one goes about producing such a thing on a lathe.
First time I've watched one of your videos, and what an excellent first watch it was! Subscribed as I don't want to miss the next episode of this intriguing build
A true master home machinist. You make it look so easy. for me I always seem to end up under sized, out of round or make an error so bad I end up scrapping the entire piece usually after several hours were invested.
Awesome video! You know roller bearings require an Rc60 hardened surface. Since you started with 1045 steel, you could heat just the eccentrics red, then spray with water to quench, all while spinning in the lathe. Then, straighten any distortion, and polish the eccentrics.
I've always wondered how someone would do something like this on a lathe, the method impresses me with it's simplicity and it's elegance. Incredible work.
Hand manufacturing is not economically feasible. But, if you get a eccentric shaft designed in Fusion 360, you could probably get a CNC shop to bid on making you multiple quantity for a reasonable price. Probably a minimum of 10 for about $5,000 USD including setup fees and materials.
The part would require grinding after heat treatment. You def won't get the results you want machining to final dimensions and heat treat after. Would need to machine the part to larger than final, heat treat, then finally grind down to exact dimensions. Not sure if you have a grinder setup, usually pretty specialized. I'm sure though that there is someone or some company out there that could do it ezpz. But yeah, not easy, not straight forward to heat treat AND have good tolerances. Also a side note, most/all? crankshafts are forged not cast or from bar stock. The re-arranging of the crystal structure from forging helps significantly in the part's strength and durability.
I wanted an O.S rotary so bad years ago. They always caught my attention in the Tower catalog, but where expensive and meant for planes which I never got into. Amazing work building a two rotor! Hoping to see more in the future!
I am not dissing your choice of project, but I think you should build a dynamometer to test all your previous ones. Also it would make tuning custom intakes a breeze
HOLY SHIT DUDE!!! That's crazy! That is so cool watching the excentrics being made. Weird to see them sitting perfectly still while the rest of the shaft wobbles all over the place What is that weird cast iron clamp thing you put on the bar stock?
Distortion during heat treatment is unavoidable, more than not heat treated parts need to be finished by the grinding process, its the only way to achieve a high degree of accuracy. Nice work btw.
I'm no machinist.....but I have a hobby lathe and mill......I'm am absolutely floor by what your able to accomplish......congratulations man, very impressive
Should port that thing haha. I love the rotary motor. You should try to do the bigger ones, there even more fun. Not much parts besides seals. I have had both a turbos rx7 and a n/a
fun thing about that rotary nitro engine is that it comes with peripheral intake and exhaust ports instead of side intakes and peripheral exhausts that a 13B would have had, so its like its ported as much as possible from factory
ahh! so that's how you do lobes in a lathe. having the shaft held by 2 end plates held on by set screws and have holes on the back that are offset, and have it spin on points in those offset holes. that's clever thinking. and so simple only a genius could have come up with it!

I have to hand it off to you. The amount of precision required in order to get the correct tolerance is amazing.
Na that isn't so hard on a lathe but the planing before the work is important to not mix up the order of operations
