This was the first project I ever worked on in the machine shop. I'd had quite alot of experience at this point working with wood and in general carpentry, but had never worked on a mill or lathe. As you can see, it's not the most beautiful contraption, but it ran like a champ on compressed air. Brass tube in the top picture is the inlet and the small hole above it is the exhaust. This type of engine is known as a wobbler and I highly recommend it as a starter project for its simplicity.
