OK guys....lets all relax a bit.This is a model engine forum...this is true...but I've got my steamboat on this sub fora ...it's got an engine right?....one I built right?....to say nothing of everyone else's worthy contributions...I seem to remember a similar "odds and ends" forum at the last place, though I can't remember the fora subtitle at the moment...I seem to remember my boat was there too....seems I introduced myself with that subject.. .....It also seems we have lot's of intelligent, driven and productive members as well as newcomers to the hobby trying to figure a way to proceed based on the questions...and great answers!.....all looking for inspiration and some advice...and maybe even a shoulder to cry on when that perfect part gets scrapped on the last operation.....been there!....bet Brian has too...bet most of you have.I see this sub forum as a kind of a catch all engine related mechanism thing...what we do when we're in the shop not building an engine...kinda like my boat....we put a lot of time into those things...they are noteworthy...and although they aren't "Engines" they can offer all kinds of insight and inspiration!...perhaps even Motivation!....I would love it if a New guy said Wow!...if Brian can build that...I can make that wobbler cylinder!.....I hope I can hear things like that anyway.Brian followed the rules specifically and has been most accommodating. I say we let this thread continue as is. I've been an engineer for 30 years and I haven't seen a crank shuttle singulator like that so I learned something from this thread already! What makes a forum great is the people in it. The members and the Team facilitating.We have great members!.....active and productive and civil, willing to learn and teach alike. We could not ask for better!That saidIt ain't easy being a part of this Admin team. It's a tough job! Sometimes no matter what you do NO one is happy! But...I've known these people a while now...some many years...they're good people..and all are my friends. You can believe that. OK...off the soap box....I am done waxing poetic....ect ect.It's a hobby, we're not making moonshine, over-investing our 401k's or eating too much ice cream .....know what I mean ?Dave aka steamer
Let me get this straight. Since there is a sub section on the forum for "things that you run with your engine", how have I gone so wrong so quickly? Am I to understand that a picture or video of a finished "something" is acceptable, but not a build log? I consider it an honour and a privilege to be accepted for membership on this forum, and many people did seem interested in following the build. Please clarify this issue, Jo, so I don't do something wrong in the future.----Brian
