I'm retired. I have built two steam engines from castings. The first was a PMR 5 BI. The second one was a Stuart Sun. I have a Sherline lathe with a milling attacment. I started building about three years ago in the winter. I've been studying various engine builds on here for some time and decided I wanted to build an internal combustion farm style engine which I started last winter. I have some videos on YouTube under dwulfe. Thanks to all who post their tips, plans and techniques on here. My last build would not have been possible with out them.
