Cheepo45's Covid 2021 Display Table
« on: February 27, 2021, 12:12:57 pm »


Here is my latest W.I.P. project - a Parcell and Weed Vertical Air Cooled Hit and Miss Engine.





Another Marble Machine soon to be run by one of my engines.





An Elmer's #30 opposed engine.






My Air Powered Hit and Miss engine running a Marble Run.





My Finger Engine in action.





My first engine (1996). An Upshur Farm Engine.





My Jan Ridders 2 Stroke Engine.





My 1/4 Scale Gade Hit and Miss Engine.





My Elmer's Standby - a great first engine for novice builders.





A Lucy Engine - another great first project.





A Laser cut Wood Engine.






Thanks for having me, and enjoy!

I can't wait to get back to the shows.

 Scott

Wow Scott. Very nice Table you have.

I think you built all of them.

Nice work!

The Parcel & Weed vertical looks like a challenging project.

Nice beefy lathe in the background. Who is the Maker?

And, some nice music playing in the video. 🤠

Thanks!
Yes, I did build everything.
The Lathe is a 1943 South Bend Heavy 10. I use it almost every day, and it still works great!

I thought it was a Southbend, but I am no expert.

I am a mechanic. You are a machinist. 🤠

Do you have a Mill too?

Look forward to connecting with you at Cabin Fever 2022.

I suspect your table at Cabin Fever is in one of my Cabin Fever videos.

The 1/4 scale Gade was my favorite and I love the sound of the Jan Ridders

It always amazes me how some guys can take a block of metal, take off everything that doesn't
look like an engine, and end up with an engine, Beautiful work.

Thanks,everyone!
 I enjoy building these engines. Like any hobby that holds your interest, it keeps my mind off the BS of life.
I have a South Bend heavy 10 lathe, an RF-30 mill-drill with a DRO and some other modifications, and a 6 inch Craftsman lathe.
I also have lots of tooling and accessories from years of auctions and online sales.
I also have access to a complete machine shop at work.
