Beauty is in the eye of the beholder as they always say! Your engine reminded me of this little Reeves Twin Oscillator I restored some time ago. I appreciate the mechanics are different, but wondered if the layout gave you some ideas?
I just used small pieces of brass angle as it was an easy option  :Lol: I really like that Reeves engine but I'm not a fan of the pipework over the top - lots of V arrangement wobblers have the same but it's hard to do it any other way in that case. I guess for powering a boat a connection at the top might also be convenient.

I couldn't help myself a few years ago at an auction .........I wanted a pair, one in the workshop, one in the house so I could signal to the good lady wife when tea was required........she didn't seem to like the idea ......strange  ::) :ROFL:

Perfect!  A while back I drew up a CAD model for the engine room telegraphs, someday I'll build them!

I only know the Williamson engine from pictures. I never would have imagined how complex the construction is.

Great job, everything fits together so well!

Plugged some numbers into Cad and this is what I think is right. The bottom line is my carrage surface on the lathe. I'll be quartering on the lathe between centers.
