Gearless Hit and Miss build
« on: March 02, 2026, 07:38:49 PM »
I have started another engine build.

 This is the Phillip Duclos Gearless Hit and Miss Engine.

I have been reading these plans for over 25 years - now retirement is allowing me to build it!

So far I have completed the base, the uprights, the columns, and I'm working on the cylinder.

It's coming out really nice so far!

Wow Scott - that is impressive, it looks like 25 years of looking over the plans and time to dedicate to the mission is paying dividends.  ;)

Good luck with the build, I'll definitely be following this one  :popcorn: :ThumbsUp:
