Amazing craftsmanship

OK, this isn't tractor related; but anyone who appreciates craftsmanship should enjoy this man's amazing running scale models of automobile type engines he builds from scratch.

I'd love to see him tackle a diesel.

In the mass produced world we live in it's wonderful to see that some people can still create such things with their hands.

He must make his own spark plugs? And caps and rotors out of what? Wow is right!

I would think the rotor would be relatively easy; but the points and plugs sure seem like they would be tough.

Good grief, that stuff from Conley is great too. Foothills Rancher said it best in his post.

A couple of years ago at the Alameda county Fair I saw a display of small scale operating engines.

I was mesmerized watching a miniature Model A Ford engine along with transmission run... it was so smooth that I could almost count the fan revolutions as it ran.

The whole display was mounted on a 6" x 12" board
