Two videos of one of my IC-engines I built

whoah, I bet that makes you very jealous. All the shit you haul home is Very Important.

Admittedly, much of that shit is 100 fold more useful than that beautiful, and possibly well made, but useless engine.

That was nice but

Wes

Depends what you define as useless. In my opinion, Nick probably learnt some pretty useful skills in building that engine.

Best wishes,

Chris

That's a fabulous engine, Nick. Well done!

Best wishes,

Chris

Have you ever thought of building a Wankel engine?

Chris

No doubt about that.

Ditto here. And the 95% net nazi crap overpowers anything he might otherwise post. That's why he's in 80% of the twit filters which are engaged here. Ask me if I miss him.

--- Chaos, panic, and disorder--my work here is done.

could I humbly point out to the group that however useless you think the other guy's stuff is, the preceeding flame war is even more useless? How about if you each admire what is good in the other and not worry about the bad for a while?

With Nick ..that would be a Wanker engine...

Gunner

An Onan, perhaps? :-)

Chris

Nick,

That's pretty kick-ass!

Very Nice!

If you can, redo the upload, and change "excenters" to "eccentrics".

Starting up with the name calling, though. Probably not helpful to the overall thing you got going on. :-)

Cheers Trevor Jones

you mean the stuff so useful you can't even get rid of it for free, at which point you make yet another stupid posting explaining how you threw piece of junk X out?

Oh, MovieMaker doesn't have a spell-checker, it can only crash (5 times while edition this video). But I think I'll leave that "excenters" as a special note. :-)

Thanks,

Nick

Only doable with CNC. No such thing here.

Nick

ROFLAMO!

Indeed..oh yes indeed.

Gunner

As Spock would say, "that isn't logical". ;-)

No kidding! As the saying goes, "One man's junk is another man's treasure!" I have a couple engines in the garage that have pretty much no value, except to me. I also have a $20,000+ motorcycle that I am sure some don't see any value in owning. Same as some that own boats, snowmobiles, collector cars, or shops full of "hobby" tools! How many here have a few thousand dollars tied up in lathes, mills, shapers, whatever, that will never turn enough income from them to even pay for the electricity to run them?? Strictly hobby, just got them to keep some sanity?! I work with a fellow that just spent $4000 for a turning lathe. His justification? Sick and tired of driving ONE mile and paying someone else to do the work! Consider in the last 3-4 years I doubt he has had needed lathe work more the 5 times, at a total cost of less then $200! Break even runs in the 75 year range! ;-) We all have our vices, different as they may be! Greg
