About Me...
I started model engineering and building model stationary steam engines in 2015, after constructing a small engineering workshop in my back yard, I use a Myford ML7 hobby lathe, a Dore Westbury milling machine, along with a pillar drill, band-saw and the usual hand-tools associated with hobby engineering and enjoy making model engines and general tool-making and metalworking. Nearly all of my engines are scratch-built without drawings, from available bar-stock, starting from an initial idea and allowing the design to evolve throughout the build process. I do occasionally use drawings from the web, as a basis for a design, and then modify it to suit my needs, using mostly metric dimensions, but often mix metric and imperial. I spend countless hours in my workshop working on a single engine, and much frustration can be involved, but all this is eventually offset by the pleasure and excitement of seeing my model engines take shape and eventually come to life. My shed is also my sanctuary, somewhere I can go and forget about the worries of everyday life, to occupy my mind and hands with something creative and fulfilling, where I am free from distraction and interruption.

I'm already started on a Stuart S50, but since it's a long build, I'd like to step back and make this one in a weekend
I'm so glad I found this series. I recently bought the Stan Bray book "Making Simple Steam Engines". I was really disappointed with it's quality. Incomplete drawings and instructions that didn't fully explain the process. The Wig-Wag is exactly what I need to enjoy my time in my hobby workshop. Cheers from Australia!
I finished my owen engine about two months ago. It still amazes me every time I set it running! Thanks Ade, and greetings from Austria!
Ade, first I want to commend you on the excellent presentation of this project. I only wish I could be so orderly and professional with my videos. Being a tyro myself, I appreciate the detail in which you are covering the operations. Kudos my friend. I am very much looking forward to seeing the rest of the build. Thank you for sharing. Joe

Hey Ade, Keith would love to build one of these wid-wag. I don't know, currently how do I get a copy of those drawings. How do you exchange information between people like this? This is a little bit new to me, thank's.

Just wondering if there's somewhere to buy the stock ready cut?

@@AdeSwash A quick look for the 3" brass bar, for example seems to be about £30 for a minimum length of 25-30mm, so a a ready cut bit at 17mm would be handy, if the price was right!
