Hello all

[Lance]

Before I catch it from the moderators, let me give the formal intro. I am currently without any machines. I sold all of my machines and engines a couple of years ago to purchase a bus, as retirement is well within sight now.

 When I finally do retire within the next year I am going to rebuild a machine shop and start back at making engines again. I really miss the hobby, it was a good way to unwind.

I had built an Economy and Paul Briesh Associated, along with the PM Research drilling engine.  Yes I have the Jo disease, I like castings.

I have been lurking for the past few months, and I am looking forward to getting going again. 
 
I am currently in HOT Houston Texas, But plan on retiring to Pa. and setting up shop there.

Its not a disease  Its a calling.... once you see them they keep calling out to you and it is impossible to deny them 

So what casting sets do you have

Aside to Jo, I am expecting a set of castings I have been after for 3 years now. They should arrive tomorrow or Tuesday. More info once they are in my possession
