Wonderfully done!  I might have to borrow a few details for my Elmer's #33.

Hi FLG,
Very nice work!  The engine is beautiful and it runs beautifully too!

I checked out your build log from the other site and you've done an incredible job on this engine!  It always amazes me the amount of work that goes into one of these.  And looking through your build its obvious the care you took at each step.  No wonder it runs so well! :)

Congratulations,
Kim

Very well done indeed FLG  :ThumbsUp:

Kind regards, Arnold

Building an engine takes Patience, Planning, Preparation and Machining.
Procrastination is nearly the same, but it precludes machining.
Thus, an engine will only be built once the procrastination stops and the machining begins!

Hi FLG,
You should be very proud, that's very nice work indeed for a first engine and bodes well for the future.
Congratulations on a job well done.
