thats great to here and its a show of its own and now a twin build wow you are outstanding
to have the right tooling and equipment may make it a little easier at times but then to put hours of knowledge and work into metal to form a master piece and then to here it run must be a drive, what prize do you take home from the judges ,or is it the guy's who cant believe you made it all what really win's the day for you
thank you for sharing your builds its unreal to read and see
Looking forward to seeing more on this Mr. Tom TG! I have learned quite a bit from my friend who has been a machinist since about 12 and he's now 57. Tool and die maker extrordinare!
I am looking at your other engine first and then after I do that I may jump on this one too!
Awesome job sir!

This level of machining craftmanship just astounds me!
Its so hard for me to imagine fabricating your own pistons, rods, etc. from blank chunks of metal.
I bow down to your awe-inspiring skill. Like Wayne and Garth (from Wayne's World) used to say, "We are not worthy!"
Look forward to the completed engine roaring to life,

Truly Amazing!!
Now that's what I call Mad Skills when you can engineer a V twin on the fly like this with no plans drawn up ahead of time. Gald you decided to go with the knife and fork rod configuration too... I saw the problem in the pictures for this case, but the knife and fork design should save a little weight on the bottom end and eliminate a few moving parts. The Master/Slave setup is a proven design tho but I've always liked the compactness and light weight of the knife and fork.... Cant wait to see more progress on this one...
