Jay Ladwig, Hennessey, Oklahoma. I am a general contractor with a past life as an aircraft mechanic, and until the early 90s, oil foeld machine shops. Built a Stuart #1 in tech school in the 70s, and been putting together a machine shop again for a little PM work, and play...I enjoy engines, and have plans in hand for a beam engine, and on the way for a James Coombes engine....I spent a lot of years making chips and have a lot of experience in steel fab and processing. Looks like a great forum to learn! My machine shop has a 15 inch Clausing, 16 SB, and a J Head Bridgeport. Gathering tooling as I go, and looking for a rotary table and a small shaper currently.
