I agree with all the above comments. Well done It looks fantastic.  Looks like a fair amount of brass there, nice and shiny. What diameter is the flywheel please and is it also brass? One other request, can we please see it from the other side and or end?

Thanks,

John B

Thank you all for your kind comments. Flywheel is made of Stainless, 2-1/2 as in original Elmers. here, other side  photos;






unfortunately have no video yet, I had a trial run, but on flimsy pins temporaryly placed and broke off the air intake pipe during the run. I laid off to SS for later...
ı didnt really expect it to run on first try, so I wasnt prepere to record it, after broken the air inteke pipe, (so thinn wall and my weak soldering). I was thinking to make another cylinder for her with more meat at the outer wall to set deeper and Ssolder to hold better.
