This appears to be the same French design available for free download on John-Tom's steam engine plans web page, inspiring to see it in action for the first time and provides confidence the plans will produce a working example. The engine is double acting with a bore of 13 millimeters. The engine uses no castings, the columns and cylinders are built up and silver soldered together which is notable on the columns in the video, the base is machined from the solid. Well done, a nice example.
