de-lurking in NJ

[Brass_Machine]

Hi all!

First post on the new board. Well, first post period. I lurked quite a bit before then lost track of the board. Got the email about the new board and came back.

It is really cool to see what other people have built, where they built it and with what. OFC, I like to see where. My work shop is a lot like Ricks... I have about 75% of my basement, but it has short ceilings. I will post up some pictures soon... I am in the process of re-organizing it.

Anyway...

Eric

John...

I downloaded your book last night. Good stuff! That project has just made my top 5 list of things to make after I finish modding my mill (adding a DRO)

Love all kinds of engines... IC, steam, atmosphere...

Working on the shop is a never ending job, a picture anytime is as good as it gets. My shop is a huge mess and never changes.

Eric,
Glad you liked the little book, it is not just the engine that is of use in there, also a lot of hints and tips, and not just from me. I have directly transferred a few of them onto here but there is still more in there.
You will find that when you get your DRO on your mill, everything gets so much easier (and usually a bit more accurate). But a word of warning, if ever you start to get things the wrong size or holes out of place, check all the DRO mounting screws, they have a bit of a habit of coming loose and so giving false readings, I know thru experience.

I have started to read the second chapter... I am going to print up all of them punch and bind them for reference!

Thanks for sharing the great information.

Being a newby myself, I have to ask this question, "what book is he referring too"?
