Haha! You're too kind.

 Well,they did ooh and ah to an extent (as polite enthusiasm requires), but it was mentioned that they (my co workers) like my cake baking and home brewing experiments better.

Bah! Heathens. Although my good buddy suggested I should actually use it to drive one of those silhouette figures of a woodsman with an axe, which I have to admit would be a lot of fun.

Heathens indeed. They apparently don't know how to keep the cake and brews coming.
They should suffer.

And they will, make no mistake. There will be no friday donuts this week, then we'll see whether the enthusiasm level increases.  :stir:

Looking great on the Youtube videos!

I haven't made an engine yet (working on a boiler first) but if it's anything like as good as this when I do I'll be well pleased   :)

Thanks! Plenty of areas for improvement, but I'm pleased at how this ran. I'll be putting some time into adjusting lathe and mill to get them adjusted better, then onto a set of castings.
