hi just thought id introduce myself, Ive been lurking on this site for about 6 months or so reading with awe the projects you guys complete. I'm 22 and i live in Essex in England (would be interested to hear from any members who live near by). i bought a mini lathe about 3 years ago and used it for a few projects including a wobbler steam engine and some flanges for a homemade motorbike. since the mini lathe i doubled the size of my workshop (shed) and now have a medium size mill and a gh1224 warco lathe among many other treasures. I'm still quite new to machinning going along at my own pace.
at the moment Ive been working on a Stuart 10v, Ive been taking lots of pictures along the way and I will upload them when i have finished. i really like some of the engines in the Stuart range i saw a beautifully Stuart beam engine at sandown park model engineering exhibition last year. id love to do one of them but I will practice with the smaller Stuart models for now.
