Nice to see it running and working.  What fuel did you use?

Looks great and seems to run even better. What's not to like about that!?!?

That Baker Fan looks different than most I've seen, any backstory or source on that item?

That came from a group of homemade tools Bruce won off eBay.

I rather like that one ..... it looks very "Industrial"!

..... as does that engine, I might add!!!

Here you can see it with a more familiar engine and a great description by Bruce

Thanks for that Nick ... and Bruce!

I'd guess that I must have seen that somewhere back in the past, but somehow it just doesn't ring a bell.

Seems that is happening more and more these days ......    ;c)

The Baker Fan will be a big hit for shows.
