Good lord that is stunning! Have seen plenty of "scale" engines before but this one is amazingly smooth... and when you see the tools he
is using...amazing!

Have a read of the thread guys, he made the pipe bender for the exhaust and went through 18ft of pipe to get it right.
Only works from rough drawings, and tweaks as he is going, the man is very gifted.
Good post thanks

i noticed that shoddy workmanship just about rounds of a roughly chewed up piece of pig iron!!! 
we can let him off, its probably missing for a reason.
Track days ARE the best thing since sliced bread, until I get a supercharger that is!

Not any pipe bender I think it is a Mandrel type as well.
I'm sure I have seen this small bender before some were.
I had thought of making a lager version, but that's as far as I got.
