For my first 'real' project, I wanted to start small. Nothing too time consuming or complicated. After poking around on the web for a while, I stumbled on a 9x20 lathe blog (
Smithy's Lathe Blog). Smithy has made a number of cool working engines powered using compressed air. After doing some reading, I thought I could do the same. So, I sat down and designed my own based on Smitty's.

I have also started the first part, the connecting rod. The basic shape is there, next comes a few milling cuts and then holes for the pins into the piston and cam.
