Got it patched up and stole what parts I
needed from another motor.

Mister tubs, my dad had plenty of colorful sayings in his day and one of them was "dale you can’t make honey out of horse poo" I think you could prove him wrong! Great job on that old motor! Just the way I like’em!

Fantastic Tubs.

I especially liked the photo editing where it added 1 piece at a time, that was great to watch!

A truly fantastic presentation. You are certainly a true Old School Craftsman. I also thought the ‘part at a time’ assembly was brilliant.

It was followed on YouTube by Steve Woods showing off his row boat motor on Lake Dora

Nice Job Tubs!
It’s nice to "hear the rumble" and see "smoke and fire"
after all a person’s hard work!
Did you get it in the water yet?

Regarding the 1915 RBM video, it appears that if I was watching
the same one as Garry, that Steve "reversed" that engine
without a sputter!

Prepare to be boarded!

It really enjoy finding them, fixing them, using them,
and showing off with them. Getting these things going
again is fun for me and this is the place where the
people are that get it. Its not hard get more in one
than they are worth. Some may question that logic.
When I ask what they pay for their golf pass we
usually move on to another subject. Here is another
I spent more time on this winter than I intended.

Tubs,

Another great job! I really like your use of the black backdrop to focus our attention on the motor and not your dirty workshop! 😎

I’ve been test running too many motors inside.
Going to have to paint the wall again when
it warms up a little. 😉
