For the what it's worth dept.  Oven cleaner makes a quite good paint stripper and is usually more economical than the real thing. And it's easier to "spot strip" an area.

Yes what Dave said, that is a major improvement; but I'm confused :headscratch:. You are moving this into the house; is there not room for it in the shop? will you be using it in the house?

Dave


PS. Thanks for the complement on my Little Brother engine.

As long as they match the decor they should be fine ;)

 :'( I understand Eric has put his engine collection up forsale  :o So if anyone has any particulair requests for photos of any engines I will need your requests sooner rather than later.

I did take this slightly larger photo of one of the engine cabinets.

I think there are 6 cabinets if I remember rightly. I was rather surprised when he mentioned that he was thinking of selling them.

Steve he is in no rush, just PM muddled engineer... http://www.modelenginemaker.com/index.php?action=profile;u=1452
