  Something for you two to do on these cold winter days!

                            AN OPERATIONAL V-12 DIESEL ENGINE THAT FITS IN THE
PALM OF YOUR HAND.

                            THIS VIDEO ILLUSTRATES THE CRAFTSMANSHIP INVOLVED
IN MAKING IT.

                            This is not CNC technology; this guy made
everything at home using his lathe and drill press.

                            It took 1220 hours of labor to make the 261
pieces, including 12  individual cylinder heads, TINY rods and pistons, dual
"underhead" cams with pushrods to rockers in the heads.

                            Note the end-loaded crankshaft into the block
(like an Offy),

                            He did break-in runs using an electric drill
driving the crankshaft!

                            Even if you're not an engineer or machinist,
you'll love this--or know someone who will!
