It's a standard attitude of the liberal left to believe that they, and only they are right. All others must submit. I call it "social narcissism", with all the standard traits and behaviors you can expect from an individual narcissist.

Good to know. I have an order in, for a set of drawings, and hadn't heard anything in a while. I notice the last update on their homepage is from March, also why I was wondering...

Are they, Hemingway, still in operation?

Thanks Bob! I just checked them out and they have some interesting stuff. And, they now do offer on-line ordering. With PayPal!

I just ran across my Coles' Power Models cat. #26, from 1995. It still has the receipts for a set of Wall Flathead Four castings and extras tucked in it. Turns out I still have a credit due, where I overestimated the shipping. It sure would be nice to get that $1.81 back... :)

I think a lot of UFOs are finally getting some much needed attention, lately. My oldest one is a 1/2 scale Maytag, 18 years old. I think, this time, I'll get those last couple of parts finished and get it running. Connecting rod, timer and carb.... Just a few more stitches! :)

Drawings in hand and thanks, again, to Ken and Eric.

Thank you, again. I have emailed him, too.

It looks like the forum won't let me pm you. But my personal contact is [email protected].

KenC, thank you for your reply. I have, since, gotten some very good history from the Engine Collectors Journal and I believe your are right that my castings are from Karl Spielmaker. I will try to find Eric Offen. Hopefully he isn't using a pseudonym on here. One curious thing about the...

This is the set, as I received it. I haven't found very much info, but it was sold complete or as a casting set in the late '30s. I didn't get any drawings with it.

Beautiful work!

I picked up a casting for a little aero engine called the Dallaire Pee Wee. I was wondering if anyone has drawings for this engine? Thank you! Bill Shamblin

I now have two sets of gears on order from SDP. Thank you!

Rivets are something I know. ;) I'm retired now, but as an industrial maintenance mechanic for over 40 years, one of the types of machines I maintained was tubular riveters. Thanks for the link!

Thank you friends! I'll try all of those (actually I have tried a few of them). :)

All I have been able to find are a couple of "Supplier" lists that are hopelessly outdated, and a few vendors on Ebay who sell a few kits on the side but no parts or supplies. When I started collecting casting sets, there were companies like Caldwell Industries and Coles. All such seem to be...

Hello. Can anyone recommend any current model engineering suppliers in the US? I'm looking for things like spur gears, small hex screws and such. Thank you! Bill Shamblin
