Heres my little one, I have one similar in size , and design to yours, and one that is a V twin, the frame of all the vertical wobblers is based on my large supply of 1/2" x 1/8" brass, about 6 metres.   Ian S C        Sorry it's a bit fuzzy, just trying my cell phone camera

That wobbler looks great ;)  Yours looks a bit more solid by the looks of it :)

Marinus, a great runner.

Nice to see young people as you interested in machining and building things.
All the young people over here are slaves to the computer and totally not interested in technical stuff.

I'm late in offering my admiration for this classic wobbler. Runs like a top!
