Hi All

The name is Dave, but you all know me as "steamer" on the HMEM MK1 board
Big steamboating fan and Model Engineering practitioner....Into a Wallaby build at the moment as well as a rebuild of a 9" Southbend!

Glad to here!

Hi Dave, it's great to see so many of the familiar names and folks here. It looks like there will be a great community built here, as we all are familiar with each other.

Hi there Dave  :)

Welcome aboard bud!

Kind regards, Arnold
Building an engine takes Patience, Planning, Preparation and Machining.
Procrastination is nearly the same, but it precludes machining.
Thus, an engine will only be built once the procrastination stops and the machining begins!

Hi Dave!  Glad to see you got to keep your old "Steamer" handle.  It sure makes things feel to home.

Hi Dave,
I want to see the finish of the 9, my heavy 10 could use the same treatment.
