WOW some time there!

UN-Belivable! That is so cool.

Are the carb springs actually wood too?

LOL @ "What kind of fuel does it take?"

That's like pattern maker's stuff. Precision for precision....

JAy, do you mean that was basically machined rather than carved? You should see the hand carved stuff over at my son's coaches house. His dad was a frustrated physics professor who carved to blow off steam. There's probably a half ton of hand carved pieces there, I think I'll get some pictures.

"Wood alcohol " would be my guess .

That is awesome. Bet Paulie would like one of those.

If that thing could run, it would be amazing. Maybe it could run on sawdust...

No, Chip, probably a combination of both, or maybe it was all carved? Those round units would sure go faster on a lathe, though. I only mention pattern making because that piece looks tight and the high respect that I have for the trade. Working wood to close tolerances as is required is not an easy thing, and they also have to take wood movement into consideration in the way that they build their patterns. Some patterns get used for many years.
