    Very nice work Jerry! Can you post a picture of your completed Rose Engine? I've looked at the PDF file for the building of the RE at the AAW site but, haven't convinced myself that I'm ready to jump into yet another area of turning...

    Chris, thanks for your comment. My finished MDF rose engine
    looks identical to the one in the instructions. I followed the directions
    exactly as printed, and it works great.

    Excellent job Jerry! How long did it take you to build the rose engine?

    Pete,

    Once I had all the needed components on hand, It took one day to
    put it all together. Most of the time was spent cutting and putting together the frame.
