I love your method of honing the cylinder! I wish I had seen it sooner. I'll certainly be using it for future cylinder work. Thx Ade!

Thats a Draw of success, not shame, you successfully corrected the error and made a finished product,

Thanks Jardine, look forwaard to seeing your Wig-Wag :) Best Regards. Ade

I only found your channel about a week and a half ago and watched the older WigWag videos. And then you started doing this build series. You've got a new subscriber and I'd like to compliment you on some very nicely made videos. You explain things well and the pacing is very nice. Not too fast and not too much "filler" that becomes boring. Very nicely done indeed. I've got a couple of other projects to finish off first but hope to start my own WigWag soon as a good learning experience towards other engine type projects.

Hi Bruce, thanks for your comments, and thankyou for subsrcibing. Best Regards. Ade

Great video Ade. I've started this build just using my lathe. As suggested I've been using my lathe to do milling operations and have been very successful. Thank you also for the tips you showed in this video, I really enjoy watch your video's. You have clear instructions that are easy to follow for a novice such as myself. Keep up the good work. Regards from Ben in Australia.

Yeah, I have a drawer like that too- I think most of us shameless types do- I call mine "solutions awaiting a future problem".☺

Thanks for sharing! What kind of range can you get with your lapping stick?

Hi Craig, it ideally wants to be made as close to the bore diameter from the outset, so the expansion required is minimal

Hi Ade. Would you consider a build series with a steam engine in the future? Even better an engine that combines electricity as well? Nick from Greece.

Hi Nick, always interested in new ideas! I have seen some ideas using solonoid type piston engines, what do you have in mind? - email me- swashade@gmail dot com

If you would have used an O ring for a piston ring on the first attempt in making the piston, would that have caused too much resistance and therefore affecting performance?

Hi Robert, I have used O-rings on some of my bigger engines, such as my Big-Beam which is a powerful engine, but I think it may be too much resistance on a small single acting engine such as this, but I havent tried it, so cant be sure. Regards. Ade

Press fit cylinder cap? Really Ade? Cheers, Mike.

Hi Mike, press fit is good, the cylinder is too small for screws
