Hi all...I recognize many of the names from another forum so in a way its more like a homecoming than and intro. But for those that I haven't yet met, by day I work as a lab manager in the engineering technology department of a large urban univesity as well as teaching machine shop practices to a new generation of upcoming engineers. The rest of the time I spend designing and making small compressed air engines, working from the plans of others, and with recent ventures into the world of model IC engines. Currently I am working on a 1/4 scale Rider Ericcson from the casting kit by Clarence Myers. Much of what I do is done on benchtop machines (Sherline) and when the need arises, I have access to larger full size mills and lathes at work. That's it in a nutshell.
