Hi Everyone,
I have been a long time reader of posts (almost 10 years - yikes) and member of this forum. I live in Brisbane, Australia.
I joined back in 2010 after I bought a Sieg SX2 mini mill to complement the Taig lathe my brother gave me. I had bought a Bolton No.2 steam engine from E.J. Winter.

As you all probably know, when you get your first mill, you probably don't have a lot of tooling or experience, so I found and joined this forum.
The Bolton No.2 engine is complete now (in bits at the moment) and I haven't made any more engines, though the lathe and mill have come in handy for a host of other projects (the latest is parts for my satellite tracker).
I want to do a single cylinder IC engine next, probably a diesel, and probably from the engine boys CD I bought a while ago.
Anyway, just wanted to say hi to everyone.
