  Small engine parts by Harvey Noel

  This interesting drill sharpening rig is by Gene Martha

Rollie Gaucher (standing right) chats with Harvey Noel (seated left) and Gene Martha (seated right)

  A pulse jet has only one moving part and makes the most God awful noise

  This digital readout set up is a long term project of Dick Jones.  It is mounted on his South Bend lathe normally

  This ball bearing clock is a work in progress by Bill Brackett.  Bill's South Pointing Chinese Chariot and cast grinding wheel cover are shown on other pages.

  Steve Cushman built this excellent taper attachment

  Another nifty project by Steve is this ball turning attachment.  He drives it with a battery drill for smooth action.

  Bill (L) and Steve (R) look pleased with their work.

  Rollie Gaucher chats with a show visitor.  In the foreground is a 2 liter pop bottle rocket launcher that was shown recently n the H.S.M. companion publication.  The difference between myself and Rollie is that I intend to build things but Rollie goes ahead and builds them!

Al Meyer bought this casting set at Cabin Fever and has some interesting ideas for pouring the babbitt bearings that the shaft requires.

  Rollie Evans built this steam engine.  Not seen behind it is a scale model of the boiler Rollie is having built for his latest steam launch project.  It drew a great deal of attention at Cabin Fever a few weeks ago.

  These engines are the work of our current president Norm Jones

  That's Norm in the red shirt at the right and in the background to the left of the table is John Rex

  In front of John Rex is his flame licker engine.

  This "Mary" beam engine was built by Todd Cahill

  Also by Todd is this M.E. beam engine

  Dave Osier's Elbow Engine.  Dave says that the sensible model engine enthusiast carries a tiny engine like this pocket size beauty instead of a van full of heavy equipment.

  Dave Stickler knows how to relax no matter what the setting.

This Reeves "Double Tangye", was built by Dave Stickler

  Dave also brought this "Tiny Power "Ajax"

  This Stuart Turner #4 built by Dave was, I thought (personal opinion only) it was the sweetest looking engine at the show.  Again, just my opinion. The castings are ripoffs from a guy in Canada, not from Stuart.  Our newsletter editor Mike Boucher bought a casting set from the same source.

  Dave Shepard with one of his model Ballista upon which his team built the fill size machine that they used at last falls Punkin Chunkin competition in Maryland.

  When Bob Nierdorf's wife mentioned that she would like to learn to play the harp he did the only sensible thing that a model engineering fellow could do.  He built her one!

  Bob and the harp.

  Sam Sweeney (L) showing his marble pump to a visitor. I am told that Sam would rather build things than watch TV or play video games.  There IS hope for the younger generation!

  Mac McIlvaine with his Gingery Lathe project and an organ pipe he built, just because.
