I've been recommended to look on this site by Jason B as I’m ¾ of the way through building a quarter scale Economy Hit and Miss Engine, when it’s done I’d like to make a matching pump to complete the set.
I’m located near Worcester in the English Midlands where I’ve spent all of my 66 years.
My background is in heavy engineering I did a technical apprenticeship back in the early 70's and spent some years in the general machine shops before moving about into detailing and design, ending up as a service project manager before retiring a few of years ago.
My garage has an area converted into a workshop that houses a SIEG SX4 mill, a Warco GH1322 lathe, I also have a Portamig welder, a small portable band saw, a compressor that needs a bit of TLC and a 12T press plus the ususal bench grinders and general measuring equipment.
My workshop interests are varied and I like to make things for my use and my other hobbies.
Thanks for having me, I look forward to learning, or should I say relearning, from you folks and hope to be able to contribute a little too...
Regards, Henry.
