Bill... I need to pick my jaw off the floor Bud.... Holy Crapola this thing is awesome. I really need to just shell out some dough and buy the lathe I have been wanting...lol. Nice work man. I can't wait to see you do another 1/16th scale build

Bill,

I have watched most of your work on this forum and this is in the stratosphere. To take a block of aluminum and tool a engine that is this
small is stunning.

I worked in a plastic factory as a mold setter for almost 25 yrs. before our work was outsourced. I worked with many tool makers on new
builds, but never dreamed that something this small could be made.

no secrets here Cesar, I am just using good ol common sense! I have all ways been artistic, and fairly good at figuring things out I guess, lol

[vintagedragfan]
