great video on making this engine, very complex. (1/2 of one would give a nice 6 cylinder Bellett)

How did we miss this :o Haven't finished watching Glenn, but my father, who was a fine furniture maker, would have appreciated the craftsmanship of laser cut, steam pressed and hand finished oak and mahogany.

Not to mention acid dipping, expert paint, AND hand polishing to a mirror finish. Artisans!!

At least we were spared watching paint dry :P

More to watch,
