Am very new to machining so still have an awful lot to learn, but am happy with the way this engine runs (only my second build - first one was a J Howell ‘Farmboy’).

Bonjour,

As great fan of Hit & Miss engines after Steam, I see there a beautiful and efficient engine, running smoothly as it should.

To my opinio, as machinist, you are too modest  ;)

I agree with Raphael .... seems you are a far better machinist than you want to pretend!

Nice engine running very well!!!
