I saw a post for wood lathe and found this.
As a old metal worker.. I loved it..
See:
This tiny 4 cylinder overhead cam engine is Iqbal’s current project. Seen here is the engine block with pistons installed and the head removed. The tiny camshaft leans up against the cylinder head.

Now that's just too cool!
I don't have time to read the whole page carefully now, but I wonder if that tiny 4-cyl engine actually works?

I have no idea but it probably could..
I just found it on a Google, and as a old metal worker. I knew IT WAS something special.
Iqbal Ahmed at work in his shop in Nagpur, India. That man is amazing!
I would bet it would take several programmers on a CNC machine at least a year to get a prototype for it. Then a few yesrs for refining it....
Hmm. Maybe I'll make one out of wood. ;-)

Mike..
Maybe I'll make one out of wood. I'd bet you could come close!
"I'd bet you could come close!"
Uh, don't bet the ranch on that -- I don't even own a lathe anymore. But I guess I could sell my jointer to make space for one. ;-)

Will,
This reminds me of the covers from 2 Lee Valley monthly catalogs from several years ago (98?). The first one showed a model ship. The next month they showed the machines the craftsman used to make the ship. He made the machines-table saw, lathe, etc.! His hand was shown next to the machines to get a perspective.
I have these covers in plastic protectors in my shop. Whenever I feel like I am King Tut, I pull them out and have a fast serving of humble pie.
Thank you for sharing with us!

check out the photo a ways down..
I guess he does not believe in gun lock down?
Nothing like little children! The more the better...
I for one love them.. When they grown up is when I have a broblem with them!

I've heard someone say that babies are so sweet that you could eat them. When they reach teenage, you wonder why you didn't.
A nearby gun (loaded) is still an unfortunate necessity in some parts of the world.
Truly awesome, thanks for the post
