Lockdown Stuart 10

[Martyn A E]

Started one of these back in 1979 but life took over. Now retired decided to finish what I started. Just a few cosmetic things to tidy up.

Not bad for a Shropshire lad.

And I even like the colour.

Love the color combo

It's beautiful, but I've got you on the length of time something sat on the shelf. I have TWO Coles/Corliss' that I started shortly before you did, 1976-77 and have been mostly just sitting, a little work on them in that time but now I have lots of time and am slowly getting it together. Still needs a mill however, to make it much easier.

It took me over three years to finish a Stuart beam engine but I was working a full time job and three kids, so I guess I did O.K

1979 was about the time I bought the Kit, when Stuarts were at Henley-on-Thames. Irecently extracted the base from the vacuum packaging and found a snap lid box to set it in. I'll start machining it soon, perhaps after I finish the beam engine I started in 1980.
