Thanks everyone for your interest and advice. The magazines are going to a new home. I was afraid they would have to go in a dumpster.

Sounds like a good plan to me! My zip is 65251

Hello Everyone, Thanks for you interest and helpful comments. First I am located in Central Missouri. Second I wish to get rid of the whole batch since someone else is going to ship them for me. All I want is enough to cover out of pocket shipping cost. I would not object if someone wanted to...

Due to the fact that I will soon be moving to some place like senior housing I am going to be getting rid of a lot of stuff. The first to go will be my stash of magazines. There is almost a complete collection of IC, plus Modeltec, live steam maybe even some older EAA issues not sure what...

I have a quarter scale 65hp case traction engine kit a lot of the machine work is done. The bull gears need to done, also the wheels. The boiler should be done by someone qualified to work on boilers. It is located in central Missouri if you are interested.

First thanks so much for an amazing job of posting. IMHO your shop work is at the level of art. The only reason I say Drats is because I just bought the plans book plus two more books from Village Press. (I can never buy only one book from them.) :)

Beautiful work, congratulations!

"Has anybody tried to combine several engines like this on the line (3-6 cylinder...) to see, if the efficiency could be preserved so that a real home made power station could be developed?" I saw a triple version of Dr. Senft's Moriya at the Lake Itasca Region Pioneer Farmers Show several...

As of August 2012 India's auto maker, Tata, was still working on an air powered car. http://www.theverge.com/2012/8/13/3235980/tata-airpod-air-powered-car I could not find anything newer than that. Bob Bailey Genius has it's limit, insanity does not.

IMHO another thing to consider is the amount of spindle run-out. Two mills may come out of the same factory, but how do they perform? I believe JET provides documentation showing test results. . I'm not sure but I think Grizzly provides test results to. I would check HF to see if they provide...

There are two companies one in France and one in Australia developing practical compressed air engines. Both companies have small cars. If you do a search on this subject you will find many references and videos on the web.

A truly fine job! Thanks

Hello again, For the purpose of family harmony my shop will be detached, but I don't think it will be forgotten. I totally enjoy working with my hands, both metal and wood. So far I have not seen any dwarfs in my work area, but as long as they were nice they would be welcome. ;D I tried to...

Thanks for the reply Mike. I have been fascinated by Stirling Engines for a long time and traveled to many engine shows to see them. IMHO they are an enigma, how can something so simple to understand and yet be so difficult to build one that produces a useful amount of power? It can be done...

OK I have been a member a very short while, so I'm a little reluctant to jump right in. I should probably lurk for a while, but here goes anyway. :D First IMHO you have done a beautiful job on the engine. Second there is a book by a Mr. Andy Ross with the title Making Stirling Engines. It is...

Thanks everyone for the kind words. Regarding shop picture at the moment equipment is in storage, My primary objective right now is to build a small workshop. My Sweetie supports whatever I want to do, but she was not too happy about the swarf in the rug and definitely did not like the welding...

Hello, Just joined, first posting. I can tell from what I have seen that I have a lot to learn. I'm retired, a hobby machinist and enjoy anything that turns thermal energy into kinetic energy and noise. ;D Bob Bailey
