Working Wooden Model of Radial Engine (with video)
A hobbyist took his passion for woodworking and combined it with his love of all things mechanical to create a nine-cylinder radial engine from lumber and plastic. Articulating rods, wrist pin connectors, cam ring lobes, and crankshaft movements are all explained in easy-to-see giant wooden parts as the contraption swiftly moves in unison, fueled by Jimmerson’s portable drill rather than avgas.

I use to work on radial engines. Love to hear start up and sound of them. That wooden engine was s piece of art work. Wish I had it. Thanks friend for your beautiful work
I agree... Same here... Did not get to work on them much, but in my early days I got to work on a couple of radials... My most memorable was a Jacobs 985....
Genius!
Remarkable work of woodworking craftsmanship and engineering.Even sounds good on full rotation.
Fantastic. The best explanation I have seen to date. Very impressive craftsmanship
Beautiful!!!
