Hello from West Yorkshire,
I am completely new to this type of engineering, I recently retired after 44 years in machine tool engineering & now need to put my small home workshop to good use.
I have been searching the net for a project & keep coming back to the Stuart range of un-machined casting kits in particular the Victoria twin as it is a relatively large engine & it would seem there is quite a lot of information & back up on this manufacturers products.
I have a reasonable capacity in the workshop with a Bridgeport miller & a gap bed Harrison 140 lathe.
Bearing in mind I am not new to engineering but understand that this is a different facet I would be interested in your thoughts on whether I am being over ambitious with a first project.
I fear I would struggle to match some of the wonderful examples of skill & art there are on this site but everyone has to start somewhere.
Thank you for reading this & feel free to shoot me down in flames!
Regards Bill.
