Maybe something very clear..."nonprofessional".
Or, for Marv, "abecedarian" (if this is considered a field of learning).

I remember a TV reality cop show where the cop is questioning a suspected DUI...

Do you know your alphabet?

Yes, officer, I know my letters; I just don't know them in order.

Yup, "abecedarian" sounds perfect for you.

The Germans use "amateur" much as English speakers do but, harking back to my incarceration among the Pennsylvania Dutch, I remember hearing "Stümper" used in that context.  Of course, it was also used in the context of bumbler, fumbler, botcher and bungler.  Hmm, maybe it's more applicable than I think.

Noooooooooooo. Can't use that one, I've already claimed it; except to clarify, it's really: Retired Programmer turned half-vast machinist.

'Finished' the new (3rd) cylinder today. Still needs some sanding/filing.

Original plans shows the hole from near the end of the bore to a port as parallel.
I can't make the port deep enough so I angled the hole.
1st pic shows the setup.

2nd pic shows the completed cylinder.  :whoohoo:

If you have been following Eric's thread, he mentioned a hidden boo-boo and I'd said I'd show mine if he showed his.
But I'll go ahead and show mine...being one who tends to bare all (but not always nor everything!).

3rd pic shows a groove running from one cover hole through the inlet and to another cover hole.
This happened because, after drilling one cover hole,  I didn't raise the head far enough before moving to drill the next cover hole.
That is to say...I DIDN'T WATCH WHAT I WAS DOING!  :slap:
Yes...the drill was still spinning.
Using the DRO, I center drilled all four holes, then drilled all four holes, then tapped all four holes rather than center/drill/tap one hole at a time.
I suspect the bit would have broken had I stopped the mill before moving the head.
You might have thought the groove would be straight (I was moving only one axis) but it curved due to the bit's rotation and flex.

There is one other boo-boo that you may or not be able to see.
The outer curve is not perfectly round (or concentric to the bore).
I apparently had one dimension off (about 30 thou) so there's a slight hump along the curve.
I don't think it will be very noticeable after more filing and the covers installed.

Nice! You are getting a lot of learning in on this one, which is great. Fortunately that one groove can be filled with a little JB Weld or other goop, wont hurt a thing.

Thanks. A bit of goop is exactly what I was thinking.

Regarding the dimensional boo-boo...As it turns out, it's very noticeable when a cover is put on. The cover appears offset. Ah well.
Once the engine is built...I doubt (hope) people will notice (other than you lot).
