A lovely engine. It is hard to believe that it is your first engine AND that you were learning how to use the lathe at the same time. Thanks for sharing.
bentrumpetmaker, thanks. Got the plans from the late Hamilton Upshur's daughter, who is still making the plans available. Just do a search for Upshur Engine Works and you'll find her site. Took me about a year, off and on, to finish the engine, but I was learning how to use the lathe at the same time. Thanks for watching.
