Model engineering ideas

John,

Since you have limited facilities, you may find my Classified advert of 05/05/2013 on these pages of potential interest. It is an old design for a 6cc single cylinder vertical spark ignition engine , especially so since it also includes the construction book.

I would also recommend building a clock then you can leave behind something that is also useful and beautiful, but I would avoid weight driven clocks unless you have a talent for woodwork. A spring driven clock can be placed anywhere and can be covered by a easily bought glass dome.

For a first clock before you build a family heirloom I would suggest the following

"Building an American Clock Movement by Steven G. Conover"

It was written quite recently so does not expect you build everything on lathe and includes a clock wheel making jig as a bonus.
