Thanks, Daniel. The engine was built from plans published in Popular Science Magazine in 1947.

That looks to be the exact same engine that I had linked to, only on a different source page Gil.

Also, I don't see C.W. Woodson mentioned as the designer on the web page that you have linked, but Birk is listed as the builder on both of our linked pages!
Right you are Daniel.

I have always liked the design.
It is sturdy and aesthetically pleasing.

The nicest one I have seen was auctioned by Bertoia as part of Klaus Grutzga's collection.My recollection is the hammer dropped around 2500 which was more than I could pay.
