Chris' MEM Corliss Twin Build is complete

[Flyboy Jim]

Great engine Chris

I can now see how you get through these builds so quick. Your workshop is lovely. It looks very cosy and warm unlike my garage 

Can't wait to pull up a chair for the next build

Cheers

Oh yes, very nice to have the shop in the house, very warm here in some very cold winters, we average 100 to 160 inches of snow in a winter, fortunately intermixed with some thaws. The machine shop was originally the back bedroom on the ground floor. The upstairs (two large rooms) is my wood shop, the one side is big enough that I built a couple canoes and kayaks up there, the window out over the garage roof was big enough to take them out. The basement has the train layout plus my carving and woodburning stations. Garage does double duty as a boat shop for the really big boat builds (biggest was an 18' sailboat). Fun in all directions!

Sounds like we need a work...SHOP'S tour sometime Chris.

I'm a little late to the party, but I just have to say that this is a beautiful engine Chris.
Thanks for taking the time and effort to share it with us!

Thanks Kim!

Now I need to figure out how to hook it up to drive the lathe...

Now I am simply jealous   

Do you have machines in your bedroom too? Whoops that is too far - Don't want to know
