Lovely display of your engines Rob. You have inspired me on some of my builds. This is going to be an interesting build. Looking forward to its first run. Like you I keep all the little scraps of metal left over. Too valuable to put in the bin. Cheers Nobby
Hi Rob, nice little project. These little oscillating motors also have to be built very precisely so that they run well. (I think the crank with brass counterweight is perfect for the job) Greetings Michael
Hi Michael. Yes, the mating surfaces and ports must be well aligned. Considering their simplicity these engines are quite powerful and can run some surprising stuff. Cheers Rob
Nice little project Rob, looking forward to seeing this one run 👍👍👍 Cheers, Alan.

Nice collection of engines . 👍
They soon add up Colum. Cheers Rob
Enjoyed this Rob and what Aussie shed could be without the ubiquitous Vegemite jars and lids!!! How bloody handy are they - Cheers Jim
Sure are Jim. Bright yellow makes them easy to find ;) Cheers Rob
Very nice engines sir
Many thanks. Easy to make. Cheers Rob
Thanks
I've got that little vertical brass engine, you've got in the middle of the top shelf.
Got mine from Banggood.
Same here - it's from Banggood.
@@Xynudu It's a cute little engine, isn't it?
I run mine on Bio-ethanol. I find it burns cleaner than methylated spirits.
Where do you get that ?
