Hello all
« on: June 18, 2017, 04:57:42 PM »
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. :pinkelephant:

 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. :lolb:

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.

 :hi: Lance

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. :lolb:

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

So what casting sets do you have  :embarassed:

Jo
Enjoyment is more important than achievement.

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  :)
