Congratulations to Clayton Collins from the Fort Worth, Texas area, the Winner of Metal My Way! Clayton made a 9 Cylinder Radial Engine, which he machined in his shop with manual equipment - no CNC! The engine is four cycle with a dry sump oil system, and it took him 4.5 years to build it in his spare time. The processes he used were milling, lathe, welding, honing, black oxide, heat treatment and anodizing, on a variety of different metals including aluminium, steel, bronze and more! 💯
Great job Clayton – enjoy your Pit Boss 700FB Wood Pellet Grill! 👏
