So hopefully you guys, who has been around on community for a while, my project in school which started late in 2016. I've made 10 work-progress and informative blogs about until last summer holiday.

This autumn have been A little lazy of documenting it but I'm trying to work efficiently.

Basicly after I built a little working air engine I started it as a real project and wanted it bigger, better and nicer.

I've worked a little here and there such as getting ready the base plate and some other fixes. Also there are/will be many little details on the new parts. Many of them brass.

In the next weeks I have to get it all mounted on a base plate then making a "Top cover cap" out of black buffalo horn. Then starting with the piston itself. I'm thinking about how it would be to use soft leather on the piston for a nice seal.

Anyway this is what I've been up to maybe it was interesting
