This is still under construction, but I thought I would share them with you. Im working this one out as I go along, having initially sketched it on the 'back of a fag packet' (well bit of paper) in true Malins style . . . .

Hammer is about 15" long


Im still working on a cam assembly at the gear end. Its pretty low geared as well so as to let any engine run fast . . . .

I managed to find a Meccano crank to help me make a sort of 'cam'. this bit still needs work.



My small work area upstairs...
