Hi all. I've been "playing" at machining for 2 years now. I have a great passion for anything mechanical especially steam engines. I have built the Beng's Danni engines as a first attempt at machining. I have spent a lot of time making tools, often tools to make tools
My current projects include Rudy's Model Steam Tractor as a prelude to something larger and more detailed, and the Benson vertical engine (no castings, entirely fabricated). I recently got distracted by acquiring a couple of toy steam engine boilers and decided to use one to feed a Elmer's wobbler (I don't think they will take much pressure).
I also get distracted from neighbours who see the workshop as a handy resource. I recently made a custom footplate for a motorbike as the pillion is disabled and needs extra support for her right foot. So absolutely anything goes on in the shop.
