John, Jamie, J.B.,Walter, & Keith setting up the Storm boring bar to sleeve Keith's Waterman
Dickie, Walter, Bob, & JIm, Watching Bob run his latest, a little engine that appears to be a school project or home built. It was rough when he got it, looks and runs great now. |

Keith cutting his prop shaft to length.
Pete watching as the Van Norman 888 boring bar nears the bottom of his Bulldog farm engine. This was Pete's first time at the boring bar, he's a quick learner. |

Keith opted to go with a different sleeve thickness so Larry got his turn, he's sleving his 4hp Nadler. This is his second time to sleeve an engine, he rebored a twin also. I think he's got the hang of it. |

John is fitting the key on the flywheel, this is a motor his grandfather used to fish with. It's been in the shop a while, had to be sleeved, crank welded, bearings, accessories made. He left with it running, it will go in the bateau he had built,I'll get my "loaner" back.
John & Dickie watch as Jim straightens a prop shaft.

You guys sure do get stuff done. Here is a picture of my two newest twins, one's a Roberts, and the other is unknown, possibly Canadian, sitting on my trailer. I pored a nice cement slab where the trailer is parked a couple years ago, so that I can do work outside. It isn't working out so good right now.
