Well done. I always follow your builds and usually pick up a tip or two to help me to hopefully match your standard one day. Thanks for your postings Jim |

10668 forum posts 2415 photos | Another excellent build thread and result. I've learned a lot from Jason and the gift keeps coming. I've not cracked the big secret though: how does he work so quickly? I'm still collecting materials for his Flame Licker. My theory is Jason is really Santa Claus and all the work is done by thousands of elves in a giant workshop at the North Pole... Dave

Though the IC engines are enjoyable to make and run they are not so peaceful to watch. This is the Robinson Oil Engine I mentioned if the FB link did not work, set of castings are almost on their way to me. I did have a hand in some of the pattern making. At least it should smell good running on paraffin with hot tube ignition and eventually a spirit lamp to heat the tube.

![]() 1602 forum posts | That’s a beautiful result. It took me a while to find this thread - I know you mentioned it on mine a couple of times. I’d assumed it would be in “work in progress”. No doubt I’ll have questions on broaching keyways when the time comes… Cheers. |
