Hey guys, I'm a lurker, just new here. I'm Eric, 25 and just another ol' boy from Missouri. Like the website alot! I'm making an attempt at building an elbow engine off plans I found on here. I'm making minor changes as I go, and converting it from metric to SAE. Feel free to offer tips and critiques as I go, I'm no expert by any means, I just bought a mill and a lathe and taught myself how to use them with books so I really have no formal training. There's a grizzly industrial not 5 minutes from the house so its hard to keep any money! HAHA. Progress will be slow as I find time to work on it, and when its not 100 degrees in my garage!
I already got a lot of the base and upright done but forgot to take pictures of the work in progress, I apologize for that.
Here's my mill
And here's my lathe
I had the lathe 2 months learned how it worked and I decided that it needed to be CNC for some reason ??? So I converted it...that's quite a new learning curve and I'm still figuring it all out.
That dewalt 12v max Impact driver is absolutely amazing by the way...
