Edwards Radial Five
« on: May 15, 2023, 01:22:33 AM »
I started on this back in 2010 or so, I got about 80% done then for whatever reason lost interest in it. Who knows I might get back to it if I ever retire.

From the look of that engine so far I'd guess that the clients at your job shop must be well satisfied with the quality of the work they pay for! :ThumbsUp:

Back in 1983 my foreman from my first machine shop opened his own shop, 3 of us helped him build it from the ground up, from day 1 J--- wouldn't let any sub-standard parts go out the doors, he was trying to build a reputation for high quality but fair priced parts. It worked well for him, when he passed on in 2001 and his kid took over it all kind of went down from there, sad, but that is how a lot of things go.
