That is a very interesting engine, good looking, and smooth running with a great sound. 
Kind of long, maybe you could bend it in half and connect both halves with a rocker arm.
Calm down I'm just kidding. It's a beauty just the way it is, thanks for showing it.

I guess you'd have to see an original Snow... like 50 feet of amazing...

Far bigger and better than I had imagined  :o

Great piece Joe!!  8)

By the way, I was the one who sat next to you at the dinner after NAMES last year  :)

Hi Nick,

  Oh Yes I do remember talking to you over dinner. That was a great show and only the second time I managed to get there. I wish I could display there but the drive from Maine is a little to much at my age.
  I do try to go to Cabin Fever every year. If you see me there please explain who you are so I can try to remember you.
 Thank you for the nice comments and your interest.
Joe

Hi Joe.

Thanks for joining us for GPU 2020!

The Wooden Beam Engine you built and I bought at the Cabin Fever Auction this year has a proud place in my office and it is hooked to an aquarium pump so that I can run it when I am working.

 It was nice meeting you at Cabin Fever and I’m glad that the engine is with someone who appreciates it.
 Regards. Joe

I can't seem to get the pic to work either, but having seen the Wooden Beam you sold to Charlie- I can only imagine how nice it must be.

Post by: Joe Higgins on March 02, 2020, 04:50:50 pm
Snow tandem from Doug Kelly’s plans. This was the second Snow I built.
It was a very interesting engine to build, [attachimg=1]And a real attention getter.
