Hack, your shop, and your machining abilities are ( in my opinion ) WAY above the average member on this forum. The guy that built the miniature Ferrari is the only other one I can think of in your league. Keep the pictures coming. Super interesting.

Pancho, thanks but ya are exaggerating...

among the 873 projects in progress right now is my DIY lawn dethacher. The resident wench here has requested the grass here @ MTL needs fixin. that requires a machine.
my inner cheapskate would not authorize a rental, so....
i built one, keeping with tradition only scrap materials and parts are used.
The 12hp vertical shaft flathead briggs didn't want to coperate, however.
l'm still tryin to unnastan why the flywheel key sheared off.
yellow arrow is the mag
red is the piston.
Engines do not run with ignition timing off 90°.
this qualifies as a WTF moment.
back to our regularly scheduled programming soon.
