Hi to all.
« on: September 17, 2016, 04:09:38 PM »
Hi everyone, I stumbled on this forum by accident. As I have recently semi - retired and was a toolmaker/engineer, making model engines is something that I am interested in. My other interests are classic cars and photography.

Welcome Orloff, I hope we can persuade you to come over to the dark side :)  Making model engines I mean of course. Glad to have you join us.

Thank you all for the warm welcomes, Internal combustion engines are my interest, as no matter how hard I concentrate, I can't understand how steam engines work. I noticed that a lot of you guys use CNC. Sadly I never learned how to use them as I ran my own sub-contract machine shop for 37 years and it was all manual machining and grinding. It may take me longer, but I do get there in the end.

Welcome to the forum, I like you spin cranks to get the job done.  We all like
pictures so when you get going take lots of them.

Welcome aboard,
We have a lot of crank spinners here. Probably a lot more than the electronic guys. In any case there's always someone to answer a question.
