Hi All,
20 years ago when I was starting my apprenticeship one of the senior apprentices was building one of these engines in his spare time. All of us apprentices were fascinated. He was going to sell me the book when he finished, but due to company cut backs I was transferred to another branch and lost touch with him.
I didn't even know the name or author of the book, and have been trying to find out even since. Fast forward 20 years and I stumbled across this wonderful site and found out the book was called Step by Step metalwork 3 by Kenneth Wells - so thank you to all on this site!
I even found a copy of the book for sale the next day - talk about the stars aligning!
So now I have the book and am collecting all of the materials. I was hoping to buy some castings if anyone knows of any for sale?
Sorry about the long winded post, just wanted to share my story and thank you all.
