Another castaway to land on a promising desert isle.
I'm a 60 year old Certified Mech Eng approaching retirement and getting into model engine building.
I own my own robotics company (last 20 years) but am quite happy to defer that to my Son (which means he does all the work and I keep all the money) and planning on a fruitful retirement.
Always wanted to build model engines and in fact purchased my first mini-mill and lathe for my home workshop over 12 years ago but apart from work related machining only got round to building model engines in the last two years.
I enjoy curious designs with a high wow or WTF factor.
I don't make anything without drawings (a lifelong habit) and freely post the designs for others to use. I will post these shortly once I've figured my way around the site and settled in.
I just dare the other site to winge about copyright violation.
My other hobbies involve racing slotcars, the real thing (although apart from track days I haven't raced competetively since 2008) and restoring vintage jukeboxes.
Thanks for having me.
Ken
