    Newb just hoping to learn

    Hello all. I'm new to building model engines. My son (7 years old) and I are trying to build our first Sterling engine together. I don't own a shop, or even a garage, so we're making due with what we can do on our kitchen table. ;D We'll see what we can do. I would LOVE to have some of the...
