Incredible ! You must have better eyesight than me! What size of lathe are you doing this work with?

I don't know what size lathe George used, but I built a similar-sized engine (Tubal Cain's Jenny Wren, with a 1/8" bore and stroke) using a 10" Logan lathe. See my avatar for a picture.

It would appear to be true that you can make small things with a big lathe, whereas you cannot make big things with a small lathe....🤔
