Tiny Engines Part I
Posted: Tue Dec 07, 2010 9:37 pm[color=#000000][glow=yellow,2,300]Got this in an email from H.[/glow] I had seen a couple before, but nowhere near this many. They remind me of Matt's Camel project.
SOME PEOPLE THINK THEY ARE MACHINISTS. AND SOME REALLY ARE!
V-8 and V-12 Engines in Miniature!
For all you out there who like big, honking V-8's and screamin' V-12 engines, check out these tiny versions that you could run on your workbench or kitchen table. These models were built by craftsmen the same way the big ones are made by machining billet stock and castings, but in miniature. These are not just models that look like engines, they are real running engines. Some of these photos were taken from the Joe Martin Foundation Craftsmanship Museum web site at www.CraftsmanshipMuseum.com, but many more images can be found elsewhere on the web, and engines like these can be seen in person at model engineering shows around the country.
