Nice work! I too have been wanting to make the geared engine. I just had not come up with a method of making the internal toothed gear.

They just started taking orders again today.

That's an SE-2a. It's missing the whistle.

My "last" order shipped a couple days ago, short the adjustable tailstock die holder.

Now I have another list of stuff I want to try for.

Quote from: KryptoGood news, my first order shipped with all items and if I'm lucky I'll get it on Saturday!  It appears Kat is working through the immense backlog.

The reason I want a 4 jaw scroll chuck is specifically for holding small square stock which is a pain to dial-in.  While sometimes you can hold this shape in a regular collet, you have to be careful not to get a corner of the stock stuck-in a collet slot and that will be really tough with the ER16 collets setup I will be using for the Sherline.  Obviously hex stock can be held in the 3 jaw.  For the SB I have hex and square collets but they very rare in the small WW sizes that the Sherline uses and I really don't want to get into another collet system anyway.  I do have a small independent 4 jaw chuck setup as a revolving tailstock chuck for the SB which could easily be removed and adapted, but any kind of offset work (like eccentrics) would almost certainly be done with the 6" 4 jaw chuck in the SB anyway.

The sale was yesterday but it seems they still kept a lathe and a fellow is working on producing WW collets, apparently just for existing orders, which I found interesting.

The Robotshop.com website says they have two er-16 4-jaw scroll chucks left in stock.
